>> Thomas needs to stay on the Court.
Isaiah is way pat his sell date.
Its only important because Congress & the executive have ceded their authority to SCROTUS. It was never designed to have such power under the Constitution.
Be a shame if Ruth and that wise Latina croaked or something.
We have a Congress largely made up of scumbag attorneys who believe that the Constitution was actually written for scumbag attorneys to “interpret”. It was written in the plain language of the day for the common man.
We need as much as anything a clear answer from appointees, Do you own guns? If not, they should not be on the court and should recuse themselves from 2nd amendment questions. Tired of this kind of BS where the justices are ruling the 2nd amendment out of existence. Have they already forgotten their Heller decision? Or others.
“We need another Trump appointee on the Supreme Court. “
More importantly, we need Roberts gone!
“9th Circus again. I was under the impression that appellate courts ruled on the law, not on the basis of “common sense understandings” with not a single shred of evidence to back them up. “
You could have shortened your respone to the first sentence!
You prefer denial of certiorari on 10-day waiting periods?
“Be a shame if Ruth and that wise Latina croaked or something.”
Ruth has one foot on a banana peel and the Latrina has serious Type 1 Diabetes that has put her in the hospital recently.
I like this line of thinking. If it is okay to say you must be 18, 21, or other age (not stated in the 2nd amendment), or that you have to way 3 days or 10 or 30 days to exercise it, then how about the same for the 1st amendment. You want to speak out, write it down, wait 3, 10, or 30 days; oh, you’re not 21, sorry, just STFU.
Sorry, I dont know what that is. I thought we were talking about basketball.
True.
“And to think, there were never-Trumpers who would rather have had Hillary making those choices. “
They’ve been coming back here lately in time for the midterms.
I’m hoping for two this year, when Kennedy retires and Sleepy Ginsburg doesn’t wake up.
Or protests, you know they are protected by the 1st. Those Russian bots with Michael Moore and CNN participating 4 days after the election would have had to wait 6 more days. Just think no more protesting at any event of the moment.
The Nutty Ninth never used “the law” for many of their wacked out decisions. “Common sense understandings” without evidence is like saying that the “world is flat” because some ships never come back and they had to have fallen off of it.
We’ll never know. Votes in Justices’ conferences are never announced. It takes four votes to agree to hear a case. We know from his dissent that Justice Thomas wanted to hear it but there weren’t three other votes.
Needing four votes in order to procede to oral arguments is called “The Rule of Four.” I’m betting that Alito and Gorsuch joined Thomas but Roberts and Kennedy didn’t.
For sure we do need better judges. But why do we have to have such important things going to court where the 9th circuit gets to over rule every thing-seems like a bad play with a stacked deck.
Exactly. The Ninth doesn't respect personal freedoms when it comes to personal protection, only in regard to killing the unborn and rewarding the illegal aliens.
SCOTUS needs some retirements soon.
