Bill, that's not fair or honest. We're now at 12 years that the republicans have snubbed their noses at bipartisanship. For republicans in the Senate and House bipartisanship has simply meant getting their way.

It weren't Catholics vs. Protestants Professor it were Unionists vs. Employers. You could look it up.

He was trying for neither, methinks. He's just showing himself. Aside from displaying a natural depravity as a virtue, it's also a scare tactic. It's going on across the US now with self appointed camouflage wearing, gun toting loonies acting as polling place guards. They want us to choose our safety over our right to vote.

Indeed. And the Christians loved each other fatally in England, Scotland and around the world over the years. No Muslims required.

Then she should recuse herself :)

You are forgiven, my son. Say 10 Hail Kamala's and 15 Our Biden's.

Until the Mod's stop engaging him it's life as we know it. Maybe it's time for a couple of immoderators.

I'm not waiting. It's over. The forces of good have lost irretrievably. Further resistance is futile. It's time to erase my online presence, buy an AR-15 and join your gun club, stop voting for taxes and social justice issues, change my name to Bernie Carboni, and generally try to be a complete downer to anyone cheeky enough to show up with a positive progressive attitude. When in Rome....

It was dark.

As interpreted by whom? A originalist? A textualist? A pragmatist? An intentionalist? A definitionalist? A grammacist? A natural law theorist? If so, which ones? Should we stop the clock with today's group and have them go through the Constitiution word by word and settle everything here and now? William Randoph, one of the drafters, wrote on July 26, 1787: In the draught of a fundamental constitution, two things deserve attention: 1. To insert essential principles only; lest the operations of government should be clogged by rendering those provisions permanent and unalterable, which ought to be accommodated to times and events: and 2. The next sentence he wrote was: To use simple and precise language, and general propositions, according to the example of the constitutions of the several states. (For the construction of a constitution necessarily differs from that of law) If you are an originalist or a textualist, or any of the other -ist's, I don't read where Randolph anticipated a need for your craft someday. Principles first, accommodated to times and events, and grammar second if at all. The Constitution was meant to be interpreted by open minded thinkers not picked apart by word and comma. Chief Justice Roberts said his job was to call balls and strikes. That's only a part of the job. Justices were also intended to tell right from wrong as it applies to here and now. The unavoidable consequence of that is the making of law.

Ken, you should see him in person. He's cute, too.

Fuck man, you need to work the crowd better. :)

And if Trump wins the election according to the vote counts on election night.........?

Now we know who Putin thinks will win on November 3.

Fertilizer for Trump for President signs is what I call it.

It's just baffling that people who are on medicare/medicaid (or the ACA-not Obamacare), social security, benefit greatly from the redistributed wealth from blue states, and myriad ways other peoples money eases their days are first in line to call someone else socialist. Crazy.

Are you going to let Ron move to Canada when Biden wins?

Good catch Rich, most car mechanics overlook the fact that only the US a stock exchange. Damn olof ought to stick to his beans and bangers until London figures out it's own stock exchange.

Good moderator training.

I had a '56 and it certainly defined who I am.

Damn Don, You two have my admiration. If you haven't already, consider the cell phone game cameras. I use those to back-up the regular game cameras. The cops use them so the pic's are admissible, at least around here. Good idea doing a little shooting on the range. You might need the practice in the coming Trumpocolypse. Joe

Sure it does, as does the word seems.

Whenever it was I believe you are right. I wonder what our righties here are going to do if Trump gets the spanking that seems inevitable.

What you wrote is twisted drivel worthy of only two moments of silence.

Your (you're) a tool then, sorry to be so blunt. You have no Ideas (idea) what the silent majority is about to do to your reality. Since were (we're) both in SoCal I've got an Experiment for you, actually Bill, (space)I dare you. (no space) Put a Trump Flag over your solar array.(space) See what Happens (not capitalized).(space) Put a Trump sticker on your Tesla see what happens. As I drive down the freeway I just figure every car without a sticker is the silent supporter.( space and moment of silence) So much for the liberal idea of freedom of speech, to prove my point..(another moment of silence) We can go to N (period) Hollywood (and) have some sushi (and) saki and a couple (of) beers all on me. We'll both dress up in Pink Toto's (tutu's) and walk the streets (take your pick) we'll have a blast.(space) On the way back I'll put a red hat on your head and we'll see how the rest of the night goes. (distracting sexual connotation) Rich, you might work on your presentation a bit if you want to be taken seriously.
