Justice Antonin Scalia dead at 79

I smoked Columbian Gold, and Red Bud and Columbian Pale back in the seventies. Even some Panama Red, and you are right. The shit back then would knock you on your ass compared to the crap they call potent these days.

Same weed, same farmer, grown in the same mountain soil for generations. The shit was thick with THC laden resin.

I was at a bar in Providence a while back and talking with a guy and he goes "Oh, you know about electronics? So, um, I need lighting, because I'm thinking about growing some heirloom tomatoes in my house..."

But it can mislead a K9 unit or an airborne surveillance unit which is disrespectful of lawful authority. And you know what happens when lawful authority is disrespected - society crumbles and develops socialist tendencies.

Those tomatoes would be smarter than the shit between your ears.

No. Pigs whip out their guns and kill innocents.

The Roman guards are back and their spears now have longer and deadlier reach.

WAKE UP.

They don't have to "try". They don't have to do *anything*. They control the agenda.

You really shouldn't admit to such things on the Internet. They're listening!

Of course there's nothing to say he can't. There is nothing that says the Senate has to do anything about it, either.

Not doing anything is itself an action. And rejecting an otherwise qualified nominee over ideological grounds/as a delaying tactic will have consequences.

Everyone knows that if a liberal Supreme Court justice died during the final year of a Republican administration with a Democratic controlled Senate, and a Democratic candidate said "delay, delay, delay" the conservatives would be screaming at the top of their lungs every epithet under the sun. The Republicans would be hustling their ass off to get the most conservative person they could in there, post-haste.

This right here isn't the democratic process. It's a straight-up Game of Thrones type power struggle. No quarter.

The GOP seems to have taken a bit of a fall, what with their terrible presidential candidates, and now a dead Supreme Court justice.

It's the perfect opportunity for liberals to kick them while they're down, repeatedly, until they stop moving.

It depends what's on the Court docket, the Court continues to decide cases. Any case that ends in a 4-4 deadlock is considered to uphold the lower cou rt ruling from which it was appealed, and, once that happens, the case has been decided, which means it can NEVER be litigated again.

Good grief, you're dense. Doing nothing is *not* an action. It's nothing.

...and an Harry Reed would sit on it , if he were SML, just as the Rs will. Don't be an idiot.

You're wrong, as always. It's working precisely as designed.

Don't gloat over someone's death too much. Some day we may be doing the same. ...over you.

I thought weed was supposed to make a person like, mellow, dude...

Correct, but completely irrelevant.

Right, well, conservatives have been waving their guns around calling for liberal's deaths for a long time.

And it's a pretty well-known adage that when someone says they want you dead, you take them seriously.

Oops, forgot to add: you don't take them seriously by appeasement or being accommodating.

And I'm not gloating over his death. Like all people, Scalia likely had good and bad qualities. I actually was talking with someone today about how his dissenting opinion in Planned Parenthood was well-argued: the Constitution says nothing about the prohibition or non-prohibition of abortion, and therefore it's not really the job of the Supreme Court to make calls on issues which are fundamentally up to the states.

Special interest groups of either party really can't have it both ways, you can't expect the federal government to be your shield on issues you have personal stock in, and yet expect non-interference in others, when the Constitution is silent about them.
