"I saw what you did there."

On Tuesday afternoon, Republicans will vote to confirm Wilhelmina Marie Wright, a sitting member of the Minnesota state Supreme Court, to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Just who is Ms. Wright?
Writing a short entry for the UCLA Law Review in 1990 (page 18-19 of PDF), Ms. Wright brazenly asserted that, "[T]he practice of American racism is based on two principles: the sanctity of property and the belief in the hierarchy of races." She concludes as follows:
The failure of today's racial discourse is its reliance on the notion that property is neutral, that the deed to a suburban home is 'property' while the opportunity to move out of a slum is not. The fungibility of property can be no better exemplified than it is by slavery. The fact that our Constitution once recognized one person's very life and liberty as another's property should teach us the danger of letting property determine liberty rather than looking to liberty to define property.
If you want to know why every Democrat-appointed and many GOP-appointed judges believe the Constitution is unconstitutional, here’s the source. They oppose the fundamental negative rights expressed in our founding documents, replace them with man-made positive rights for favored classes, and point to flaws with the settlement of our continent with regard to slavery as justification for upending the Constitution outside the legitimate amendment process.
We MUST do everything possible to stop this nominee.
And darling Nikki is bewildered at our anger.
On the path to federalizing Kelo which Trump supports.
Watch the republicrats sneak over the line to get her in and ask yourself why.
"I saw what you did there."
Ha ha ha ha! I thought of that song during yesterday’s “slut” bruhaha. I mean I could have done worse!
This is why i'm sick of these bastards. They let that horrible bitch Lynch get confirmed as well.
Our enemies are not just the Democrats, it is the members of our own party who do not know what a "principle" is, and who still wouldn't if it bit them in the leg.
You done good. ;)
Sigh....actually I’ve always loved Prince. Such a cute little sexy weirdo.
Hell of a guitar player.
The honorable Wilhelmina Marie Wright
I fear that Trump will appoint judges no better than this one.
>>Our enemies are not just the Democrats, it is the members of our own party who do not know what a “principle” is, and who still wouldn’t if it bit them in the leg.
The Progressives of both parties (if you can even call them two parties anymore with a straight face) have principles. Unfortunately, they are Progressive principles and they intend for you to have them one day too by the “nudge” if possible, or by regulation and punishment if necessary.
She raises a bassackwards but useful point here - after the Civil War, the US government committed its greatest offense to property right by freeing (or essentially nationalizing) slaves without compensating owners for their legally-obtained property. Folks who are mad about the SCOTUS Kelo decision are about a century and a half too late.
By today’s standards, everything Prince ever did isn’t weird, it’s downright pedestrian :)
Bewildered or not we all owe her a big thank you for the funky time.
You mean like his sister?
What’s honorable about her?
I have no idea who his sister is.
Remember all the hullabaloo back then about "2 Live Crew"? That album is now in the "Children's Section."
