“Remember when Bush tried to appoint Harriet Meiers? The left was triumphant they sank a SCOTUS nomination, but her being replaced by Alito is the best thing to have happened for conservatives in the last 20 years.”
Yes. I remember that era. I was advocating against Harriet. To me it was another point in GW Bush’s administration where he took personal loyalty too far.
I felt he was that way with Rumsfield as well, but in that I am not sure how factually accurate were my impressions of Rumsfield at the time - the fog of ALL the media.
Plank #1 of the Communist Manifesto: Abolition of private property rights.
The a-holes spend the time on sh*t cases like this and hid in a corner sucking their thumbs about the 2020 election.
Centuries of contract law went out the window with the civil rights and fair housing legislation. One fundamental aspect of contracts under common law was that a valid contract must be entered into by all parties willingly and without coercion. When a landlord is forced to rent a property to somebody he would otherwise not willingly rent to, he is entering the contract under the coercive force of government.
IMHO, the next legal principle to fall will be the "reasonable person," standard. Legal arguments will be made in tort cases that resemble the arguments made for doing away with the SAT as a standard for university admission. That is, juries will no longer consider whether a defendant exercised a commonly accepted standard of due care, but whether or not their actions were reasonable according to their race, gender, educational level, financial circumstances etc.
Expect successful people to be held to a higher standard. Deeper pockets have always made attractive targets, and our courts will now make them easier targets as well.
Kavanaugh has Grown In Office. Our guys are basically a 3 Justice group with two more that sometimes vote with our guys. Because Justices become untouchable after appointment, apparently solid Constitutionalists can cut free of their restricting Constitutionalism that got them the job and indulge their new ability to mold and form society. The Constitution doesn’t matter any more.
Landlords can’t pay their debts and taxes due to no rental income puts the property into foreclosure for Black Rock and China to buy up.
I never did either and he is proving me right. He is weak and, not a Constitutionalist and does not have the character to stand for the Constitution. I also think that Barrett is in that category too. Neither have justified the faith Trump had in them. They have settled in well on the corrupt Robert’s court.
No federal law grants the CDC any license or authority to impose such a mandate. U.S. Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington had struck down the moratorium as exceeding the CDC’s authorityIt's not a law or legal moratorium no matter what idiots at CDC or SCOTUS
Defy them. Collect the rents, foreclose, evict. Take it to a real court, keep out of the bogus Kangaroo court OWK as SCOTUS.
RE: puts the property into foreclosure for Black Rock and China to buy up.
And what does Black Rock or China do with these properties?
“Many Freepers here doubted me when I said “There are no conservative judges”. There will never be a conservative supreme court.”
Well, you may be right, but there is a way to do it. Just don’t nominate judges. Hell, don’t nominate lawyers at all. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says Supreme Court Justices need to have a law degree.
Of course the “Republican” Senate would probably rebel and refuse to confirm someone who wasn’t part of the system.
“The Federalist Society has been a huge disappointment. There has to be other alternatives.”
The problem is much more fundamental. With the exception of a small handful of law schools, none “elite,” every law student becomes indoctrinated in legal relativism and the primacy of “case law” rather than legislation of the Constitution. Many/most decisions are expressly contrary to the plain and simple meaning of the Constitution. I was once at a dinner party which included a retired state supreme court justice, and he was quite frank about his decisions being almost never based on the wording of the State Constitution but rather case law and the political needs of the leftist agenda. I saw this as a pre-law undergraduate in the early 70s before I got sense and switched to something useful, when the leftist professors could twist themselves into pretzels to justify their so-called reasoning.
If you are choosing your SCOTUS candidates from that swamp, any successes are a surprise.
He is big buddies with the Bushes. That’s all you need to know.
This was very disappointing, but not entirely surprising.
I understand he is part of the BUSHIE extended family mafia
And imagine how much better off we'd be now if Trump's base demanded actual PROVEN conservatives on SCOTUS instead of blindly slobbering all over Gorsuch and Kavanaugh just because Trump nominated them...
