Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[BUBear]

Damn; twenty pages already. That escalated in a hurry.

It should be. As my government prof said "the constitution contains the downfall of our nation". Who you want to interpret that document?

Stayed too long, even though they won the Super Bowl. His own skills were diminished.

But he won his last game which was a championship so I give the edge to @0nelilreb .

It hurts your narrative that Thomas was still confirmed by a Democratic controlled Senate. Bork was rejected, but that wasn't a party line vote.

Biden voted against both.

 

[Orangeburst]

The Dems did to Thomas what Dems have a history of doing to black people. They lynched him, and let him swing for several days.

Good retrospective...they dont care about race, gender, whatever..., just ideology and the pursuit of power.

 

[AirVol]

The gloves are off now, for sure. There was a time when both parties wanted a balanced court. There was a pretty good reason to reject Thomas. He was still confirmed by a Dem controlled Senate.

You shut up .. he could have won 7 more , he just didn’t want to . He wanted to do insurance commercials with a country singer instead .

I was hoping he would retire so bad . It really is hard for them to go out on top but im afraid his body was wore out .

Hearing the Dems "will burn this effer down". So a constitutional process is cause for burning it down? The irony of lawlessness in the event of lawful pursuit of a judicial nominee.

He had a rag arm when he finally hung it up. Denver won that year with Wade Phillips' great defense.

Peytonville was calling.

He couldn’t hang it up after that beat down from Seattle

That was the ugliest game (of consequence) I’ve seen him play since the first half of ‘96 Florida or ‘97 Florida or maybe the Nebraska game

My opinion is that any judge at any level should be non-political and unbiased, but that's naivety at it's best. I haven't seen anyone left of center who wouldn't reinterpret simple words and phrases contained in the Constitution to meet more liberal standards, so my choice would always be someone right of center as a SC justice. This nation is in a fight for it's very soul and liberals are the enemy.

When you spend months trying to burn the MFer down over anything you don’t like , threatening to burn it down because one more thing you don’t like is happening kinda loses its fear factor . Sooner or later people will just say let’s do it and see what happens next . I’m about at that point .

 

[volfanjustin]

Yes, but dims will absolutely torpedo the confirmation process.

The dems aren’t needed in this process

He even chaired the Judiciary Committee for both. That sorry POS.

It will always in the end be a legal thing though. For example, income tax and the definition of filing as married or two singles. Family medical coverage - husband/wife and spouse - still bound to be a legal challenge even if marriage is deemed societal and religious.

I understand, but that is conflating two different things. Because government has chosen to encourage or reward marriage with tax favoritism does not mean that government may allow or not allow marriage. Permitting or not permitting two adults to become married based upon their sex, race, or other immutable characteristics is clearly a violation of their inalienable rights.

In fact, I would argue that such tax favoritism is not equal treatment under the law and unduly burden‘s unmarried persons (or people who rent homes instead of having a mortgage) by having them both finance the education and upbringing of married persons children, and paying higher taxes even as they consume fewer goods, benefits, and services provided by taxation. Like renters subsidizing mortgage deductions.

Government gets away with unconstitutional actions when a majority of people accept and benefit from them, a lesson in ‘democratic’ tyranny.

The right shot itself in the foot with DOMA; it gave government the power to define marriage, subsequently giving them the power to re-define marriage from man and woman to same sex. Further, governments unequal tax favoritism to man woman couples was gas on the fire.

Whereas, if government had never been granted the power to define marriage then gay couples could have been married by any justice of the peace or New Age church pastor. Problem solved.

Probably. RBG was doing everything she could to defy death until Trump was exorcised.

The funny thing is , I could see him building that city with all the details and backstories with each person . He’d have to study some film first though to make sure he got everything perfect .

Some liberal wrote it for sure. I doubt it was her.

Mostly both sides are 48-52 and people just try to figure out which side is the 52%. When it’s that close it does take much “ cosmic injustice” to determine which is which .

Some things are clearly good or bad, right or wrong.
Trump falls into that category.
It goes so far beyond the typical right vs left dynamic that comparing it to normal politics is useless.

The Putins and Xi's of the world are loving this. The Dems have done Putin's bidding for years and dont even know it.
