Who are the people who actually made such a choice?
Goodell??
He went over to the fully woke dark side, years ago.
I used to like his sweet wife, Jane Skinner, when she was an anchor, on Fox News (on Shepherd Smith’s program), years ago.
Now, I wonder about her, too.
How does Goodell keep his job with YEARS of bad decisions piling up?
Here’s why Justice Clarence Thomas is our nation’s greatest Justice. During a Q&A session at a recent event at Catholic University Law School, Justice Thomas explained how much deference to give precedent (that is stare decisis or following previous decisions) in a manner that was not filled with inaccessible legal terms but in language any American could understand – and hit the mark perfectly.
According to news reports, Justice Thomas explained, “It's not some sort of automatic deal where you can just say, ‘Stare decisis,’ and then turn off the brain.”
In describing stare decisis as a long train where decisions are new train cars hooked onto the long train, Thomas said, “We never go to the front to see who's driving the train or where it is going, and you could go up there to the engine room and find out it’s an orangutan,” Thomas said.
He also added, “I don’t think that I have the gospel—that any of these cases that have been decided are the gospel—and I do give perspective to the precedent. But it should… be respectful of our legal tradition, and our country, and our laws, and be based on something, not just something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.”
In a book I co-edited, titled Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, which is based on 26 hours of interviews with the Justice on his life and jurisprudence, Justice Thomas had this to say about stare decisis in 2017:
My question is why whatever African country can't come up with the 22 cents?

These RSBN streams begin at 11 am ET
>>>Good morning, Lakeside Granny.
This 1:15 PM ET Joint Presser looks like the ONLY event we will be able to see of this extremely full day at the WH.
Will stay alert for any developments
They look like they all mean business.
Good morning, ML!
In order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again, I will be imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States. Details to follow!!! President DJT
Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT
Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT
Two new Tariff Truths and a Stunning one on the NYC Mayoral Race
“Business”? or “Busyness”?

Justice Clarence Thomas is a national treasure! 🇺🇸 His brilliant take on stare decisis—“It’s not an automatic deal where you just say ‘Stare decisis’ and turn off the brain”—cuts through the noise. As he said in *Created Equal*: “I think that precedent should be respected, but it’s not a straitjacket.” 🙏🏻 #ClarenceThomas #Originalism
Fox’s Promo Box does have the Netanyahu Bilateral at 11 am and the Congressional Leaders Meeting at 3 pm ET
However, CSPAN only has the Joint presser and I am finding no links for the Bilat or Leaders event.
LOLOL ... excellent description of his sidekick.
And ... great question. Why can’t other countries pay their own way ... 22¢/day??
Thanks for the links to President Trump’s greeting and meeting with Bibi, edie.
Good morning to you!
And then they aborted 750,000 American black babies this year.
I see our President isn’t pulling any punches this morning.
Gotta love him!
Exactly!! They always conveniently leave out that gruesome detail.
Love to see that vid
So i am off to get ready for a day at the horse track. Beautiful weather and a day off. Thanks for all the timely updates you provide. I will catch up with them later. Stay safe.
Hmm, shall I have a mocha, latte or black lab coffeevee
