Maybe only the blue states will be under water. They probably are under water in debt.
Easy: don’t.
The perfect post for liberal thought.... a blank post !! KUDO’s
As my elders used to say, “They can pour piss out of a boot.”
Putin will sell oil and gas to any country willing to pay for it - and he has massive amounts to sell. That’s why the US and European governments decided that he needs to go.
That’s it, that simple. And it explains our reaction to Ukraine. Bummer, though, it hasn’t gone their way.
There is no legal basis in the quoted text. It is all based on authority and smug superiority. “Because I said so.”
The real point is that Breyer, whom I knew briefly many years ago, is a doctrinaire lefty. Not stupid, just delusional. Kagan and the “Wise Latina” are affirmative action ciphers. Back when people thought they knew what a “woman” is, those two were pushed through the system, even though neither is all that bright (Sotomayor is actual quite dim), well informed, or capable of serious critical thought. These are dominant characteristics of Clinton/Obama/Biden judges and appointees. Of course, it’s not the case that Republican presidents always appointed truly capable people, but the percentage of people who should be Walmart greeters instead of judges and high level bureaucrats appointed by Dems is far higher.
“Climate change’s causes and dangers are no longer subject to serious doubt.”
Her first sentence is opinion, not fact. That pretty much waters down her entire summation.
“the six conservative justices”
Make that two conservatives, three middle-of-the-roaders, and then there’s Roberts.
“But surely then, the liberal justices must be really, really smart.
“Consider Justice Elena Kagan.
“She was the Dean of the Harvard Law School.”
Well, there’s your explanation.
Great article, by the way.

Her arguments are POLITICAL, NOT LEGAL.
Political viewpoint have no place on SCOTUS. NONE!
She should resign, and run for some political office where she can be voted in by people who support her political views.
Good luck with that.
SHE HAS NO BUSINESS BEING A JUDGE OF ANY KIND!
What stocks does she own?.
Kagan’s opinion sounds like she is testifying as to the facts rather than applying the law. I think she is confusing her role as a judge with a desire to be a witness on behalf of respondent gubmint. Sotomayer does not even try to put up the pretense that she is a judge in her constant desire to serve as a witness for the administration.
What’s really sad is there isn’t a speck of legal argument in that paragraph at all. And that’s what Kagan is supposed to be doing, evaluating legal arguments, not vomiting up science fiction stories.
Dumb title...
Leftist judges only “feel”...
Name one that could, actually, “think”...
The issue is never the issue. The Revolution is always the issue.
During Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings, she was asked about the Supreme Court’s precedents on self defense. She didn’t know.
Like Paul Krugman and others in economics, hte more wrong predictions these people make, the more reliable liberals consider them.
