Yeah, that’s the one I disliked as well.

Definitely yes. You can hear that coke drip stuck in the back of his throat.
I think it would force them to follow their judicial opinion rather than their own political one.
How do you define a Democratic, Republican or independent judge, though? Who gets to define them? Whoever gets to do that immediately becomes the new battle ground, and it would just shift the contest to getting the most "independent" judges on your side. It also has real democratic concerns, since it locks in political preference into possibly the most important position in the country, and that political balance is set in stone.
I just don't see how would ever be anything but a problem.
The idea is that the judge's political preference becomes irrelevant as a decider in producing rulings and they would then be forced to rely on a strictly judicial interpretation because they know their political options can't be combined to implement a party agenda.
To me it seems an improvement because the political leaning of the judges seems to have been a major factor in a lot of SCOTUS decisions in the last long while.
They can be defined by party membership, voting record in elections, etc. People can cry about their vote being private but if you want to be a SCJ you've got to give up a little bit of that anyway.
Haiti have never been forgiven for becoming free. I think they only paid off the enforced debt imposed after the revolution in the 1990s.
Seems well qualified to decide whether women should get abortions.

Well this "escalated" devilishly quick

Goose, gander & all that.
will biden's be the second-worst climate presidency in human history?
There are no good republicans, and few good democrats.
Vote accordingly
So if you lived in that district would you go out and vote against Cuellar in the primary?
Presumably he would vote for someone else, not against Cuellar.
Sure, Cuellar has a challenge from a progressive candidate in the Dem primary. I'm asking because @entropy is one of those that mocked people that suggested voting for change so I'm curious if he would go out and vote in such an instance or if he believes there is no point to voting at all. in cases like this (and what his reasons would be for not voting). I'm still trying to wrap my head around these people that claim to want radical change (like abolishing the Supreme Court) but don't think voting has a role in bringing about progressive change and in fact, people that recommend voting deserve to be mocked or meme'd.
They gonna put that warning on C-SPAN?
Slap it on the side of Cawthorne’s wheel chair like a NASCAR sponsor?
Next it'll be a warning before The Muppets:
“WARNING! Watching this program might turn you into a tiny felt puppet!”
Also, I though trigger warnings were just for woke liberal lefty snowflakes.
Now that is funny. Especially as someone who was at the Dover race on Saturday (xFinity) sitting next to a kid with a Lets Go Brandon shirt on (they were everywhere). For the group that always complained about keeping politics out of music (the "shut up and sing" crowd), they certainly enjoy turning NASCAR races into political rallies.
Oh! That gives me an idea. I always rib NASCAR fans that it’s an expensive, dangerous hobby and not a sport. I can put those two together… “I guess y’all don’t care about putting politics into your hobbies?”
I understand laughing, because it's so ridiculous, but it's also incredibly ominous. The next few years could get extremely nasty in the US.
Totally is ominous, my laughter had a tinge of resignation to it unfortunately.
Doing a quick search, it appears that the Florida pension fund was worth $203.1 billion (2020 number) so that 200 million loss is a blip on the radar. Still amazing they didn't figure out a way to divest it.
But it wasn't that they couldn't figure it out, it was that they refused to do so because presumably De Santis either thinks he's a financial genius "playing the long game", or because he's a Russian sympathiser/agent, or quite possibly both.
That’s about white…
looks like a melted Bob Wilson
Assuming they were all still alive and some were 200 years old?
This is a morph of all since 1980.
