  • So the only excuses / reasons we have are:

    "We need to defend true real American patriot bald eagle justice!"

    and

    "Yes the Reps will completely go against what they did before because that's politics"  (and our broken system)

    Well at least one of those isn't trying to hide it...

  • The argument last time was "let the American people decide!" ... didn't matter what term Obama was in. 

    Last time I checked Trump still needs to win an election (as much as he is trying to change that).

    So the American people are still deciding something.

    The woman wasn't even cold yet, and McConnell had already made up his mind what he was going to do... Trump probably creamed his pants when he heard the news... Ginsberg only held on till her last breath in the hope she could outlast Trump, and Biden could nominate her successor... 

    As I said earlier in this thread, I actually favor another conservative justice on the Court. One more, it gives them a super majority. I'm anti abortion, but if Evangelicals think another conservative justice means Roe vs Wade is toast, don't think so. On a personal level- love to see it. On a practical level? Not happening.

  • RIP RBG and.......

    ......"Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her, a tireless and resolute champion of justice."

    Architect of the legal fight for women's rights in the 1970s, Ginsburg subsequently served 27 years on the nation's highest court, becoming its most prominent member. Her death will inevitably set in motion what promises to be a nasty and tumultuous political battle over who will succeed her, and it thrusts the Supreme Court vacancy into the spotlight of the presidential campaign.

    Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.".......

    Nice to see some rational stuff coming from you. Roe vs Wade is such a giant problem - it was a mistake - painted too broad a brush -

    they left open - "...without excessive government restriction"...which means...just what? I think eventually Roe vs Wade will be clarified as to extenuating circumstances.

       Here is a really smart article, - from a submission to the Huffington Post of all places.

    I admire it -

    I disagree with you, but I don't think you're an idiot. 

    Imagine that.

    Almost like certain people are called morons here because they are, in fact, morons... not because their political views differ

    It's what I got in a few PMs from some guys with a liberal POV I respect over on TBB. They have no interest in venturing over here to deal with the moronity (is that a word?) that goes on constantly here.... 

    There's only one overriding POV here on the poli board, and if you don't agree with it, by golly you're a moron- for not seeing the true light of Conservative Rightdom....

    And you see it that way because you're a liberal now. Or a Trump hater which causes you to accept the liberal point of view. What you guys want is a liberal mr. T. You won't find a more reasonable moderator than myself. You just want to punish those who don't agree with you. And a handful of the board liberals just love that kind of shit.

  • I was going to post a Washington Post article but you have to subscribe to open it up. The gist of it was if McConnell pushes through Supreme Court nomination Biden should pack the court. That was pretty much the headline. I hope McConnell pushes through a marshall conservative. I have no doubt Joe Biden and his band of rats will pack the courts and a way. Because if he wins there's not much doubt they will take the Senate and retain the house.

    it's the liberal desperation for victimization.

    and it is NOT being disagreed with. It's being an antagonistic

    jerk to get negative ("victimization") response, so they can then

    complain about it.

       Very strange, and disingenuous.

    It's complicated.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodpecker

    The majority of woodpeckers are sedentary but there are a few examples of migratory species such as the rufous-bellied woodpecker and yellow-bellied sapsucker,[14] and the Eurasian wryneck breeds in Europe and west Asia and migrates to the Sahel in Africa in the winter.[15] More northerly populations of Lewis's woodpecker, northern flicker, Williamson's sapsucker, red-breasted sapsucker and red-naped sapsucker all move southwards in the fall in North America.[14] Most woodpecker movements can be described as dispersive, such as when young birds seek territories after fledging, or eruptive, to escape harsh weather conditions. Several species are altitudinal migrants, for example the grey-capped woodpecker, which moves to lowlands from hills during the winter months. The woodpeckers that do migrate do so during the day.[2]

    https://www.audubon.org/news/listen-woodpeckers-making-their-winter-homes-fall

    It turns out that some woodpecker species stay year round in the region where they nest, while others migrate south in winter. Those that remain through the colder months – well, it’s safe to say they’re not nesting now. No, these fall excavators are chiseling out roosting cavities, snug hollows where they’ll shelter during the cold nights of fall and winter. 

    Many woodpeckers roost in such cavities, usually by themselves. Even the young, once they’re fledged, have to find their own winter quarters. 

    With woodpeckers, once the nights turn cold, it’s every bird for itself, for they are rarely accepted by any other kind of bird - they are too antagonistic, ignorant and helpless for other bird species to bother with....
