Hmm, freedom of speech doesn't mean I have to listen to you. Protests are fine, I find the violence distasteful.
BTW I was listening to NPR last night (fresh-air) and they had someone on who knows Judge Gorsuch. He sounds like a good egg, the conservative version of Garland. I hope he gets approved without much fan fare. (I wish the Republicans had held hearing on Garland, and then rejected him. That would have left less of a bad taste in my mouth.)

There are enough RINOs in the underbrush, and enough dirty money around that Garland might have got approved. Much safer to not let it come to a vote.

Yep. The Constitution specifies the right to PEACIBLY assemble, NOT riot and destroy property or injure.

Strategically, it was probably a good move to stonewall. If Trump serves two terms and the Senate stays repub, we may have a strict-constructionist court for another 20 years.

Then all we need is to get rid of all the "legal realists" in the law school faculties. You know, the ones who find "penumbras" and "emanations" that allow them to legislate from the bench.

Yabut, the Dem's won't forget, and then are looking for "pay back" in the future. The game of tit for tat, goes on. (Though it looks a long way off, they will be back in power sometime.)

Right, I read somewhere the "bad eggs" were not part of the student body... Not that that is any sort of excuse.
George H.
Well it worked out well for you in the short term. I'm not sure what "strict constructionist" means, but the guy on NPR said Gorsuch is a Jeffersonian, vs Scalia who was more a Hamiltonian.
George H.
n*****ts like this guy doesn't make it better,
Or even so much as *hinder* people from going about their business (or attending a speech). The pepper-sprayer should get 10-20 years.
A strict-constructionist conservative SCJ would certainly be a novel thing.
In recent history "strict-constructionalist" has been code for "You get a pass so long as you have 'Co.' or 'Inc.' next to your name."
Unless the Trump administration finds a way to make clones of Sotomayor I think it's going rather difficult to fill the SC with constructionists.
No, the terms were already set by the "Biden rule". The Rs were just following the Ds lead, as they will with the Reid's "nuclear option".
It means that the Constitution is to be interpreted as it was plainly written and there isn't one penumbra in there anywhere.
That's the first bad thing I've heard about him.
It's "Conservative Code" for "If you're a 'job creator' you can do whatever you want."
Oh, good grief. It was *Biden's* rule. It's the Dems who have been paid back.
You really need to get your information from somewhere other than NPR.
It's a great idea if any of the recent conservative SCJs actually do/did it. Which they don't/didn't!
Scalia certainly wasn't a constructionist - he decided cases based on his own whims and personal preferences all the time, as just about all judges either liberal or conservative tend to do.
Trump is threatening someone? Oh my God, that's so unusual!
A candidate whose campaign rallies often descended into chaotic crowd violence now presides over a country that often descends into chaotic crowd violence?
