OT: New Judge

If the Cultural Marxist-Anarchist-BLM-ANTIFA brigade attempt to interfere with Trump's pick of the new judge, THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.

Just sayin'.

Such a bigottery:

2016: We won't confirm until the election. 2020: Of course we confirm before the election.

Agreed, as he is *fully entitled* to do as the duly elected leader of the country.

Ha! Beer and popcorn on order here! :-D Have you noticed whenever there's a Left Wing-Liberal-Progressive commentator interviewed on the cable news channels, he/she/it is invariably sitting in front of a packed stack of bookshelves? It's all to make the speaker appear more intelligent and worldly so the viewer will invest more faith in the crap they spout. But take a closer look and you see that in all cases, without exception, all those books are authored by similar Left-wing nut cases and are about nothing but politics! All they know about is what other dope-smoking Liberal nutters have written. God help America and the rest of the western world if *they* hold the balance of power after the election.

Can you imagine their despair when the RBG crone expired? I'll bet they spent a fortune on oxygen cylinders just to keep the thing legally and technically 'alive' until after November. What a waste of money and effort when that failed with just a couple of months to go.

Seriously, decisive and immediate action by Trump called for.

Well, the Senate confirms the judges they want, and the People elect the Senate.

A lot of said people held their noses and voted for Trump because of who they figured he would nominate to the courts.

Amy Barrett looks awesome.

But yes, there are people who are promising violence if Trump gets another court appointment, before or after the election.

But that's not how Supreme Court appointments are supposed to work. They ar e supposed to be appointed for life, on the basis that they have an excepti onally good understanding of what the US legal system is supposed to do - w hich in practice seems to be to give rich crooks a free ride - and picking them on the basis of their political sympathies (which is all that Trump co uld comprehend) isn't what was intended.

It wouldn't help their chances of getting re-elected. Quite a few of them a re going to dragged out of office on Trump's coat-tails, and some of them h ave enough sense to realise it.

The far right is always happiest when it is shooting itself in the foot.

Cursitor Doom seems to have a much higher-resoution TV screen than the rest of us.

The Australia news has a financial correspondent - Allan Kohler - who has b een doing his TV spots from his kitchen table, with a couple of books on th e table between him and the camera. They are close enough to the camera tha t you can the read larger titles on the screen, and those titles have been discussed in the newspapers.

Reading titles on books in a bookshelf well behind the talking head isn't a n option.

Cursitor Doom does have a far-right - which is to say spectacularly wrong - take on the people who don't share his silly ideas.

ance of power after the election.

God hasn't sent any bolts of lightening to help us cope with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin or Kim il Jung. He's equally unlikely to smite the kind of p eople that Cursitor Doom disapproves of.

Cursitor Doom can be truly revolting when he sets what's left of his mind t o it.

He should shoot himself in both feet. No half measures.

If you want a clone of Antonin Scalia. Most people didn't think much of the original.

And Trump promised a big beautiful wall if he got elected. Some promises are unlikely to be delivered. John Larkin hasn't got a great grasp of reality.

The gun-nuts have been promising violence for 50 years I'm starting to think they're mostly talk

What are you even talking about the Trumpster has no choice. His base would go into open revolt at worst if he didn't move, at best they'd just stay home for the election. what he is "entitled" to do doesn't factor in.

He has about as much choice of what to do as Harry Truman had to drop the A-bomb on Japan, zero.

Hey SL0W MAN,

I would suggest that you do us all a favor and shoot yourself, but your idi ot monarchy confiscated all of your guns.

Nonsense, as usual. The drama over a court appointment is mainly just a Trump attempt to get his face and voice spread around, before he has to pay advertising rates. The Donald doesn't care about the court, he just has underlings break the law, then pardons them.

A president who really DID have a lot of nominations, Franklin D. Roosevelt, said every supreme court appointment made him two enemies and an ingrate.

As for proposing violence, lots of inane jerks are making noise (the technical solution: switch the microphones off).

The Greens and Die Linke exercise a *lot* of influence in Germany these days. It's getting like Britain was in the in the 1970s. :( And you know what they say about Green parties: green on the outside, RED underneath, like watermelons.

Curious that Cursitor Doom never noticed. Winfield Hill started a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics - mine was in Physical Chemistry - but he seems to have had a better surpervisor who persuaded him to move over to electronics. This has been discussed here.

Maybe Cursitor Doom is trying to replace Flyguy as the group's leading half-wit.

The difference between a constitutional monarchy and a republic isn't big e nough to be worth campaigning for.

To qualify as a republican I'd have to care enough about the difference to be willing to do something about it. There are a whole of areas where I'd be more willing to put in an effort if the opportunity arose. If there are any active republicans in Australia they are keeping a very low profile at the moment. The species may not be extinct, but it does seem to be in hiber nation.

The curious thing about Al Gore is that he did get the science right. His 1992 book "Earth in the Balance" still reads pretty well.

Some of the more affecting scenes in "An Inconvenient Truth" haven't worn as well, but he was more the narrator there, rather than the editor.

Viscount Christopher Monkton doesn't do as well, even if his idiocies are more appealing to Cursitor Doom.

LOL- really? "Described as an "originalist" and a "textualist", Barrett's judicial philo sophy has been likened to that of her mentor and former boss, Antonin Scali a." That does not sound good at all. The originalists are mentally disturbe d people, and there are at least as many originalist theories as there are originalists.

The Senate already confirmed her once to her appointment as Court of Appeal s judge in 2017, so they're likely to do it again in October 2020.

This was not bad: In Kanter v. Barr, 919 F.3d 437 (7th Cir. 2019),[51] Barrett wrote a length y dissent in favor of gun-ownership rights for felons.[51] Barrett stated t hat while the government has a legitimate interest in denying gun possessio n to felons convicted of violent crimes, there is no evidence that denying guns to nonviolent felons promotes this interest, and that denying such rig hts is a violation of the Second Amendment.

Neither was this: In a Barrett-authored opinion, Doe v. Purdue University, 928 F.3d 652 (7th Cir. 2019),[48] the court found in favor of a male student found guilty of sexual assault by Purdue University, which resulted in a one-year suspensio n, loss of his Navy ROTC scholarship, and expulsion from the ROTC affecting his ability to pursue his chosen career in the U.S. Navy. Doe alleged the school's Advisory Committee on Equity discriminated against him.

Okay, she is a good choice, not a lunatic at all. What would not be a good choice would be that political hack and braindead lackey Obama appointee in eastern Washington district court, Bastian, who j ust granted a preliminary injunction against changes DeJoy made at the USPS . No sane person could take his ruling seriously, never have seen such a childish charade from the federal judiciary before.
