Absolutely, and in By God South Carolina you'll soon be able to exercise your second amendment rights by shooting prisoners. Who knows, maybe they'll make a sport out of it and issue tags.

Things will never improve until it becomes a crime to be a victim.

Because, and I'd rather choke on a chicken bone than admit it, Skydekker is right: we are a banana republic. -
If my old man had a laptop he'd have smacked me down the right path with it.

Thanks. To my way of thinking that it was written in an "unusually strong" way when one of three judges was in disagreement is meaningless and speaks more to animus than the law. But that's just me.
-
Without agreeing or disagreeing with your argument in this specific instance, would you say that Judge Jackson has exhibited a pattern of not following the law as you understand it or was this a one off as far as you know? Going further, and regardless if two other Judges disagreed with her decision, can you see any daylight between the decision and the written statute? I think it's also worth remembering, and I probably don't remember correctly, but one judge agreed with her making the score 2 to 2. It wasn't particularly egregious if that's so.

Keep telling yourself that. Of course, I'll wager you won't teach your children that valuable life's lesson.

Not only was it wrong to do, it further delegitimized the Court in the public eye. Plainly, at this point, even the most committed ostriches see that the current bench is a political institution; worse, on the day Gorsuch was sworn in the Court became a farce borne of a farce. With Garland on the bench the swing vote would have been Roberts. Most Americans would have settled in with that, I'm sure. It was humorous to hear the concern during the hearings from Republicans fearful of a delegitimized expanded court. A shrunken Court wasn't a trouble if it screwed the sitting President and led to a hard right Court, however.

So you took your ball and went home. Atta way to accept your solemn adult responsibility.

You're a clever lad. Surely you know that your particular use of "actually" connotes a different meaning. So let's play it out: for whom did you vote and why?
-
Now in all fairness President Obama, and by extension the Democratic Party, were snaked by McConnell refusing to allow a hearing on Garland and then fast tracking Barrett. Gorsuch sits in a stolen seat. He deserved to be skewered. But he wasn't. Really he came off as a thin skinned baby. Screw him. And then, son-of-a-bitch, if they didn't nominate an actual thin skinned baby in Kavanaugh. Barrett, unless you are republican caliber giddy to make a mockery of stare decisis is a freakin' cultist nutter. Maybe you are thrilled to have a justice who believes her husband has the final word (a possible reasonable balance to team Thomas/Ginni) but it makes me uncomfortable. No matter, you currently hold court.

Indeed. Of course when you have two votes to one life's a crunchy pickle.

He might if he were a bit more surly.

The New York Post. Was the National Inquirer not interested?

Any felony gets the job done.

Were they collaborating to suppress the story?

I guess you didn't enjoy the Republican bloviating today, especially Blackburn, during Jacksons confirmation hearing. Pathetic, racist, moronic, bullshit grandstanding. Yes, them's be your peeps.

Do you seriously believe that Joe Biden was taking a cut, you know getting his "beak wet", like any mobster? The other thing that is seriously odd is the gleefulness you project at the prospect of one of Biden's two remaining children, three others having died tragically, being prosecuted and jailed before any charges have been filed. Maybe I'm just not in sync but if I did that I'd expect my friends to feel quite embarrassed on my behalf.

Ahh, are we feeling all put upon by smart people again?

An article in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/20/russia-bombed-mariupol-art-school-sheltering-400-people-says-ukraine suggests that Russia may be forcing deportations of Ukrainian citizens to Russia. It's a long way from being confirmed and smacks of a wound reopening dog whistle. But, it caused my inner snowflake to think that were it true it might be a bright line crossed that would demand more involvement.
-
It's what we can get away with at the time, that's all. Maybe it's that MIG's are offensive in nature can hit any Russian forces in Ukraine and Air Defense Batteries are inherently defensive weapons. Got me, we'll just have to wait and see.
-
Patriot systems are arriving in Slovakia now. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/slovakia-starts-deploying-patriot-air-defence-system-minister-2022-03-20/ I guess we'll soon learn what Russia will risk once the S-300's start transferring to Ukraine.
-
Apparently, they're also knocking off some Colonels and Majors. I wonder who has the capability to identify the location of these senior officers and pass it off to the Ukrainians in real time? Slovakia? And you have to love those guys. They're happy to send all of their S-300 Air Defense systems to Ukraine just as soon as someone can promise equal or better replacements. Great way to upgrade while the getting is good.

Against the arbiters of truth here, even someone of John's caliber is prey.

Jeez, John, are you new? We don't argue about what we said, we argue about our clarifications and explanations.
