I have just been reminded why I don't read chat boards about politics on the internet.
Also Mitch is hypocritical, as he said
"The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."
But of course that was when a democrat was in office, heaven forbid me not use my own rule 6 weeks before the election.

I couldn't give a shit who wins the election, but the hypocrisy of Mitch McConnell really pisses me off.

Also on the bail thing, you are not a criminal until you plead guilty or are found guilty in a court of law. If you are in jail chances are you are awaiting trial, and therefore are not yet a criminal (obviously if you commited a crime prior then you are a criminal)

There is a lot of praise for this individual but I am very leery of such a fundamentalist religious person heading up the SCOTUS.

Then again, Francis Collins was head of the Human Genome project and by all accounts did a fantastic job in his role. If she can compartmentalize her faith, I think she can effectively do her job which she will be sworn to do.

It's less bothersome that she is a devoutly religious person than it is that she is being rushed through the process as swiftly as possible.

0:00-2:27

0:00-3:11 (1:14-1:45 for just Biden's flip flop compared to above)

They're all flip floppers at some point, no matter what side.

Anti-discrimination (the cases you mentioned) is a majoritarian position, so I don't see how you think it is naiive. The Supreme Court is far more conservative than Congress anyway, so my argument doesn't depend on these governments only favoring outcomes I support, but favoring outcomes I support more often than the Supreme Court. 

Okay my bad.  I'll stay on our off topic.  Yes the small riots that have occurred during the protest have destroyed property and it is a shame.  There are bad apples on both sides.   Biden has called out those that riot so I see no issue here.  Fact is there are mainly peaceful protest yet agitators from both sides make it seem worse.  You see democrats can denounce riots yet the only thing trump can tell the proud boys is to stand back and stand by.  

I'll be clear I have no problem with protesters except if they do stupid shit like block highways, destroy property or anything else out of line.  I think people of far left and far right are bat shit crazy.

I didn't see the debate because I work second shift and after hearing it was a shit show in cleveland I decided not to even bother.   Biden has denounced rioters.  Yes little troubling he didn't denounce antofa but you know who the biggest threat is to usa.   It's the far right.  The FBI even acknowledges far right extremist are biggest domestic terrorist threat.

My point about that kid was sure he was attacked but he chose to go to that city and wear an ar15.  He is a wannabe police officer and couldn't even defend himself without a weapon.  If you can't fight with your own fists get the fuck off the street is my opinion.

Today I'm reminded of all the bullshit denial in threads like this about what our Supreme Court was becoming. Whatever happened to NightlyPoe? His posts seem to have disappeared.

She is alright but it's difficutl to like the justices when they can be as unethical as they want and believe they are jesus etc
