Reminiscent of when Thurgood Marshall left the court. Like Ginsburg he had been a towering figure in civil rights long before his appointment. Bush I wanted a hard right justice to replace him. Politically it had to be a Black hard right justice. The pool was limited, so we got saddled with mediocrity Clarence Thomas (whose wife, BTW, is head of a task force in White House investigating career, not political, staff to remove anyone not sufficiently personally loyal to Trump.) Trump needs a female reactionary to replace an icon and gave us coat hanger Coney.
Liberals Weigh Jurisdiction Stripping to Rein in Supreme Court Read more at: https://www.bloombergquint.com/busi...ome-democrats-consider-jurisdiction-stripping (Bloomberg Businessweek) -- In 1982 a young lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice wrote a series of memos defending an unorthodox proposal to limit the power of the U.S. Supreme Court. It was nine years after the court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which granted women a constitutional right to abortion, and Republicans in Congress had recently introduced more than 20 bills seeking to divest None of those bills passed. But the DOJ memos offered a sophisticated legal defense of jurisdiction stripping, arguing that “clear and unequivocal language” in Article 3 of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to shield certain laws from Supreme Court review. The author of the memos was John Roberts. Forty years later, Roberts is the Supreme Court’s chief justice and the leading defender of its institutional legitimacy, and the push for judicial reform has migrated from the right to the left, with an array of reform ideas under discussion, including jurisdiction stripping. A handful of academics and liberal thinkers are arguing for drastic structural changes that would strip away power from the judiciary, embracing the approach that conservatives championed in the 1980s.
Court declined to block civil suit against Kim Davis. She is former county clerk who become a Christian martyr when, despite her own four marriages and having a child by a man not her husband, was too "moral" to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple. In dissent, Thomas and Alito made it clear they would like to revisit and overturn Obergefell, which allowed same sex couples to marry, as our marriages persecute Christians. With the addition of Coat Hanger, who considers our existence an abomination, and Kavanaugh, who vowed to use his seat to get vengeance on those who opposed him, they only need Gorsuch or Roberts to reverse Obergefell. Most probably not via outright ban but in decision allowing any person, organization, government office or business to not recognize a couple's marriage if Jesus. So everyone we meet would become a self appointed judge of the reality of our marriages.
I, along with about 70% of the rest of the population including many denominations which would include mine, are fully supportive of gays and lesbians having the same rights as everyone else and that includes marriage. I've never been to a gay or lesbian wedding but if it were someone I knew well and liked I would gladly and proudly attend! To those who would restrict the rights of gays and lesbians I say, go to hell. They are people who have the same identical hopes, fears, desires and love interests as anybody else. It makes no sense to make them less than human just like it makes no sense to make any minority less than human. Sorry, but this subject pisses me off as it does my wife. This is yet another reason why I hate Trump and view him as evil.
I'll be their if I have to drag my medical team with me. By the way, I've got old army buddy that lives down there somewhere in the Bay area. Smartest guy I've ever met. A conscientious objector who went through 5 months of Officer's Candidate School, OCS, before finding himself. A graduate of Boston College who once studied for the priesthood and a true intellectual's intellectual. haven't seen him in nearly 50 years but I do miss him. I'd bake the cake but you wouldn't want to look at it let alone eat the dam thing. No, you'll have to settle for something wrapped in wedding gift paper with ribbon that looks like it was applied by a five year old child unless I let my wife wrap it..
OK, gotta get it out there. Right? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-amy-coney-barrett-sexually-assaulted-someone
McNally would have beaten Trump hands down and the Supreme court would look allot different. I didn't like him real well, but I knew there were multitudes voted against the old bitch and Bernie.
ABM wants to play matchmaker for me? Has he found the one pro Trump lesbian in America? Since I can't even be friends with anyone unless they are pro choice and like cats no one he knows would meet the criteria. And if his god emperor has his way they will take away my marriage right.
I like all animals except hyenas and wild African dogs. Oh, and I guess rattlesnakes like Trump. By the way, the first two animals eat their prey alive and the latter has all the emotional feeling toward the disadvantaged of a typical reptile.
No one is taking away your marriage right as long as I can help it. Also, I know all the Left wingers in here feel the same way. I'd say you are among family. I would like to believe that ABM feels the same. I'm pretty certain his concern is with abortion.
Originalist Coat Hanger Coney could not remember the five freedoms codified in the First Amendment. She refused to say whether social security and Medicare are constitutional. She refused to say if she accepts science of global warming. She refused to say whether the 1965 Griswold v Connecticut case, which allowed married couples to legally get contraceptives, was correctly decided.
Today the very pro life Coat Hanger Coney couldn't say whether or not it's wrong to take young children from their parents and put them in cages.

I thought there could only be one disgusting subject per day and then you had to go and bring this up making me want to puke.
