Certainly progressive judges are "allowed" on the court but most intelligent people would rather have a justice that makes a ruling based on the Constitution rather than emotion or political expediency.
 
11. If Progressives/Liberals/Democrats need be excluded from political power, due to lacking the understandings specified above, what is required in order to be a Justice of the Supreme Court? Two things:

a. An understanding of right and wrong

b. The ability to apply the clearly written text of the United States Constitution. Bear in mind, it is written in English, not some jargon or foreign tongue that requires ‘interpretation.’:





And perhaps this perspective: not all issues, disagreements, fall under the purview of the Supreme Court.
That's right: not all issues, subjects, cases need to come before a Supreme Court.

The nation was created based on federalism, the comparable authority of the states with that of the federal government, which means not every rule, law and statute must apply in every jurisdiction as set forth by the central government in Washington: allowing differences from one place to the next were a requisite for ratification.


Sooo....what if your jurisdiction, state, locale, has laws which you feel impinge on your desires/rights?

Foot voting is expressing one's preferences through one's actions, by voluntarily participating in or withdrawing from an activity, group, or process; especially, physical migration to leave a situation one does not like, or to move to a situation one regards as more beneficial. People who engage in foot voting are said to "vote with their feet".

Legal scholar Ilya Somin has described foot voting as "a tool for enhancing political freedom: the ability of the people to choose the political regime under which they wish to live."

America was not created simply to have one king replaced by another king, called the Supreme Court.
Yet, that is the view of Progressives.
 
…or, any court. Here’s why:

1.They have no respect for the Constitution

2.They have no respect for human life.




3. Instead, Progressives, often called Liberals, are imbued with supreme faith in their own foresight, and ability to see things, including the future, far better than any intellect, sage, philosopher, politician or tactician that ever walked the earth before they did.
Of course, that includes our Founders, authors of the Constitution, as well.

The most glaring example of Progressives overstepping all that came before they graced this world, is their ignoring that which guided the Founders, the Judeo-Christian Bible, in which we find the initiating statement about human life: God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.
It is the basis for Western Civilization.

Not for Progressives.



4. Taking on the role that had been reserved for God, Progressives believe that they can perfect human beings, create a whole new human nature…..a promise also shared by Communists, Nazis, and every other breed of Leftist.
The name given to the era of Progressive guidance in order to produce that ‘new’ human society is Eugenics.



5. “California led the nation, performing nearly all sterilization procedures with little or no due process. In its first twenty-five years of eugenic legislation, California sterilized 9,782 individuals, mostly women. Many were classified as "bad girls," diagnosed as "passionate," "oversexed" or "sexually wayward." At Sonoma, some women were sterilized because of what was deemed an abnormally large clitoris or labia.
Only after eugenics became entrenched in the United States was the campaign transplanted into Germany, in no small measure through the efforts of California eugenicists, who published booklets idealizing sterilization and circulated them to German official and scientists.

Hitler studied American eugenics laws. He tried to legitimize his anti-Semitism by medicalizing it, and wrapping it in the more palatable pseudoscientific facade of eugenics. Hitler was able to recruit more followers among reasonable Germans by claiming that science was on his side. While Hitler's race hatred sprung from his own mind, the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America.



During the '20s, Carnegie Institution eugenic scientists cultivated deep personal and professional relationships with Germany's fascist eugenicists. In Mein Kampf, published in 1924, Hitler quoted American eugenic ideology and openly displayed a thorough knowledge of American eugenics. "There is today one state," wrote Hitler, "in which at least weak beginnings toward a better conception [of immigration] are noticeable. Of course, it is not our model German Republic, but the United States."



Hitler proudly told his comrades just how closely he followed the progress of the American eugenics movement. "I have studied with great interest," he told a fellow Nazi, "the laws of several American states concerning prevention of reproduction by people whose progeny would, in all probability, be of no value or be injurious to the racial stock."

No Progressives/Liberals/Democrats should ever be elected to positions of power….and certainly never to the courts.

Santayana: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes.

1. Far right wing extremists like you have no respect for the Constitution. Congress has the power of the purse. You ignore that. What you want are right wing judges who legislate from the bench as long as they do what you want them to do. The ACA does not violate the Constitution in any way. Yet far right wing judges agree to a tea it does. The fact is that the founding fathers lived in a different time. There were many issues that they could not conceive of.

2. When is it a human life?

3. While the country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, this is not a theocracy, That apparently is what you want. You want to create a Christian version of Iran and the Taliban. You want to put the church above the law. You want to use the power of the state to take away a person's freedom. There is nothing Judeo-Christian about that.

When you are talking about eugenics, you are talking about white supremacists. That is the basis of Trump's support.

You jerks also have a perverted sense of freedom. John Roberts got it right when he said appointed judges should not substitute their judgement for that of elected officials who have access to experts and are directly elected by the people. Yet 4 fascist judges would put people's lives at risk by overriding safety measures put in place by elected officials.

It is the Trump administration that has engaged in forced sterilizations of detainees. Apparently it is Trump who is parroting Hitler.

Name one individual, human or any species, that does not select mates based on eugenic criteria?
There is not a single animal, including human, that does not carefully evaluate potential mates based on genetic make up, such as appearance, health, size, etc.

Oh come on, clearly the Constitution should have contained the 14th amendment and ended slavery from day one.
The Constitution could not be what it should have been from the beginning because slavery already existed from the monarchy.
So clearly some progressive reform of the constitution was necessary.
That is unless you are claiming slavery was good?

The Progressive Party came out Teddy Roosevelt, and originally was Republican.

{...
The Progressive Party (Split from Republican Party) was a third party in the United States formed in 1912 by former president Theodore Roosevelt after he lost the presidential nomination of the Republican Party to his former protégé and conservative rival, incumbent president William Howard Taft.
...

The platform's main theme was reversing the domination of politics by business interests, which allegedly controlled the Republican and Democratic parties, alike. The platform asserted:

To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.[15]
To that end, the platform called for:

In the social sphere, the platform called for:

The political reforms proposed included:
The platform also urged states to adopt measures for "direct democracy", including:
  • The recall election (citizens may remove an elected official before the end of his term)
  • The referendum (citizens may decide on a law by popular vote)
  • The initiative (citizens may propose a law by petition and enact it by popular vote)
  • Judicial recall (when a court declares a law unconstitutional, the citizens may override that ruling by popular vote)[19]
Besides these measures, the platform called for reductions in the tariff and limitations on naval armaments by international agreement. The platform also vaguely called for the creation of a national health service, making Roosevelt likely the first major politician to call for health care reform. [20]

The biggest controversy at the convention was over the platform section dealing with trusts and monopolies. The convention approved a strong "trust-busting" plank, but Perkins had it replaced with language that spoke only of "strong National regulation" and "permanent active [Federal] supervision" of major corporations. This retreat shocked reformers like Pinchot, who blamed it on Perkins. The result was a deep split in the new party that was never resolved.[21]
...}
.

The Progressive Party of Wisconsin was also quite big at one time.
{...

The Wisconsin Progressive Party (1934–1946) was a political party that briefly held a dominant role in Wisconsin politics.[1]

The Party was the brainchild of Philip La Follette and Robert M. La Follette, Jr., the sons of the famous Wisconsin Governor and Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr.. The party was established in 1934 as an alliance between the longstanding "Progressive" faction of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, led by the La Follette family and their political allies, and certain radical farm and labor groups active in Wisconsin at the time.[2] The party served as a vehicle for Philip to run for re-election as Governor of Wisconsin and for Robert to run for re-election to the United States Senate. Both men were successful in their bids, and the party saw a number of other victories as well in the 1934 and 1936 election, notably winning several U.S. House seats and a majority of the Wisconsin State Senate and Wisconsin State Assembly in 1936. Their grip on power was short-lived, however, and they succumbed to a united Democratic and Republican front in 1938 which swept most of them out of office, including Philip. They were further crippled that year by attempting to expand the party to the national level.

"Far right wing..."


There is no such thing as a Far Right in this country.


Let's prove it together.


Watch me force you to be the proof that there is no Far Right in this country, as you will fail the challenge I pose:





There is no Far Right in this country.


Only a Far Left.


Easily proven.

As documented in a number of threads, there is no Far Right in America, but certainly is a Far Left, radicals who have taken over one of the parties….the Democrats. A reminder: To be "far," one's positions must be radical relative to that center. American traditions, values, and history represent that center. The Right, represented by the Republican Party, has no radial positions not consistent with America’s heritage…..but the Democrats sure do!

Subservient to the master they serve, that fire and brimstone guy, the Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

Talk about “Far”!!!!

If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," or never considered its usage, see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.

If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," or never considered its usage, see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.

It is easy to prove there is a "far right".
The far right is not just old traditional values like the racism of aristocracy and slavery, but of the previous theocracies as well. The far right not only wants to turn back the clock to end individual liberties, but to enforce and unify almost all aspects of human behavior. And that is inherently illegal in a democratic republic, where the only source of legal authority is supposed to be the defense of individual liberties.
Examples of far right enforcement of arbitrary ideology include things like Prohibition, the War on Drugs, 3 Strikes law, segregation, poll taxes, red lining, gerry mandering, and other abusive voter manipulations., illegal wars like the invasion of Iraq, illegal economic sanctions like against Iran, etc.

No Progressives/Liberals/Democrats should ever be elected to positions of power….and certainly never to the courts.

Santayana: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes.

1. Far right wing extremists like you have no respect for the Constitution. Congress has the power of the purse. You ignore that. What you want are right wing judges who legislate from the bench as long as they do what you want them to do. The ACA does not violate the Constitution in any way. Yet far right wing judges agree to a tea it does. The fact is that the founding fathers lived in a different time. There were many issues that they could not conceive of.

2. When is it a human life?

3. While the country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, this is not a theocracy, That apparently is what you want. You want to create a Christian version of Iran and the Taliban. You want to put the church above the law. You want to use the power of the state to take away a person's freedom. There is nothing Judeo-Christian about that.

When you are talking about eugenics, you are talking about white supremacists. That is the basis of Trump's support.

You jerks also have a perverted sense of freedom. John Roberts got it right when he said appointed judges should not substitute their judgement for that of elected officials who have access to experts and are directly elected by the people. Yet 4 fascist judges would put people's lives at risk by overriding safety measures put in place by elected officials.

It is the Trump administration that has engaged in forced sterilizations of detainees. Apparently it is Trump who is parroting Hitler.

"Far right wing..."

There is no such thing as a Far Right in this country.

Let's prove it together.

Watch me force you to be the proof that there is no Far Right in this country, as you will fail the challenge I pose:

There is no Far Right in this country.

Only a Far Left.

Easily proven.

As documented in a number of threads, there is no Far Right in America, but certainly is a Far Left, radicals who have taken over one of the parties….the Democrats. A reminder: To be "far," one's positions must be radical relative to that center. American traditions, values, and history represent that center. The Right, represented by the Republican Party, has no radial positions not consistent with America’s heritage…..but the Democrats sure do!

Subservient to the master they serve, that fire and brimstone guy, the Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.

Talk about “Far”!!!!

If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," or never considered its usage, see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.

It is easy to prove there is a "far right".
The far right is not just old traditional values like the racism of aristocracy and slavery, but of the previous theocracies as well. The far right not only wants to turn back the clock to end individual liberties, but to enforce and unify almost all aspects of human behavior. And that is inherently illegal in a democratic republic, where the only source of legal authority is supposed to be the defense of individual liberties.
Examples of far right enforcement of arbitrary ideology include things like Prohibition, the War on Drugs, 3 Strikes law, segregation, poll taxes, red lining, gerry mandering, and other abusive voter manipulations., illegal wars like the invasion of Iraq, illegal economic sanctions like against Iran, etc.

Link or lie?
 
…or, any court. Here’s why:

1.They have no respect for the Constitution

2.They have no respect for human life.

3. Instead, Progressives, often called Liberals, are imbued with supreme faith in their own foresight, and ability to see things, including the future, far better than any intellect, sage, philosopher, politician or tactician that ever walked the earth before they did.
Of course, that includes our Founders, authors of the Constitution, as well.

The most glaring example of Progressives overstepping all that came before they graced this world, is their ignoring that which guided the Founders, the Judeo-Christian Bible, in which we find the initiating statement about human life: God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.
It is the basis for Western Civilization.

Not for Progressives.

4. Taking on the role that had been reserved for God, Progressives believe that they can perfect human beings, create a whole new human nature…..a promise also shared by Communists, Nazis, and every other breed of Leftist.
The name given to the era of Progressive guidance in order to produce that ‘new’ human society is Eugenics.


5. “California led the nation, performing nearly all sterilization procedures with little or no due process. In its first twenty-five years of eugenic legislation, California sterilized 9,782 individuals, mostly women. Many were classified as "bad girls," diagnosed as "passionate," "oversexed" or "sexually wayward." At Sonoma, some women were sterilized because of what was deemed an abnormally large clitoris or labia.
Only after eugenics became entrenched in the United States was the campaign transplanted into Germany, in no small measure through the efforts of California eugenicists, who published booklets idealizing sterilization and circulated them to German official and scientists.

Hitler studied American eugenics laws. He tried to legitimize his anti-Semitism by medicalizing it, and wrapping it in the more palatable pseudoscientific facade of eugenics. Hitler was able to recruit more followers among reasonable Germans by claiming that science was on his side. While Hitler's race hatred sprung from his own mind, the intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were made in America.


During the '20s, Carnegie Institution eugenic scientists cultivated deep personal and professional relationships with Germany's fascist eugenicists. In Mein Kampf, published in 1924, Hitler quoted American eugenic ideology and openly displayed a thorough knowledge of American eugenics.

Name one individual, human or any species, that does not select mates based on eugenic criteria?
There is not a single animal, including human, that does not carefully evaluate potential mates based on genetic make up, such as appearance, health, size, etc.


If you'd stop looking for dates the animal shelter, everything's be coacetic.

Slight typo. You must have mean "copacetic".
But the point is that clearly eugenics it not only normal, but great.
It is an essential part of evolution, the "natural selection" part.
However one has to agree there always is a danger as well, since if government gets involved in forcing genetic selection, it could simply be wrong.
And it is clear Hitler would have promoted Saxon genes over Slavic genes, and that would be wrong.

Link or lie?

Well just answer why it was that it took so long to get rid of slavery in the US, if it was not being maintained by the far right?
The left was never in favor of slavery.
So then who was, if not for the far right?
Slavery was associated with the wealthy plantation owners, who had aristocratic lineage.
So isn't it very clear there is and always has been an wealthy elite in this country, and isn't that who supports the far right?
That is the opposite of the far left, which is about individual rights, equality, unions, quality of live of the poor, etc.

{...

In United States politics, the radical right is a political preference that leans towards extreme conservatism, various ethnic Supremacism ideologies and other right-wing beliefs in hierarchical structure.[1] The term was first used by social scientists in the 1950s regarding small groups such as the John Birch Society in the United States and since then it has been applied to similar groups worldwide.[2]

The term "radical" was applied to the groups because they sought to make fundamental (hence "radical") changes within institutions and remove from political life persons and institutions that threatened their values or economic interests.[3] They were called "right-wing" primarily because of their opposition to socialism, communism, Marxism, anarchism, social democracy, progressivism and liberalism.
...

There is disagreement over how right-wing movements should be described, and no consensus exists regarding what the proper terminology should be, although the terminology developed in the 1950s, using the words "radical" or "extremist" is the most commonly used one. Other scholars simply prefer to call them "The Right" or "conservatives", which is what they call themselves. The terminology is used to describe a broad range of movements.[2] The term "radical right" was coined by Seymour Martin Lipset and included in a book titled The New American Right, which was published in 1955.[4] The contributors to that book identified a conservative "responsible Right" as represented by the Republican administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower and a radical right that wished to change political and social life.[5] Further to the right of the radical right, they identified an "ultraright". Most ultraright groups operate outside political life, call for drastic change and in extreme cases they use violence against the state. These groups were seen as having developed from the radical right, both by adopting an ideology and containing members drawn from them.[6] In The Radical Right a contrast is made between the main section of the radical right that developed in the 1950s and was able to obtain influence during the Reagan administration and the related ultraright that had turned to violent acts including the Oklahoma bombing.[7]

Ultraright groups, as The Radical Right definition states, are normally called "far-right",[8] although they may also be called "radical right".[9]

According to Clive Webb, "Radical right is commonly, but not completely, used to describe anticommunist organizations such as the Christian Crusade and the John Birch Society... [T]he term far right... is the label most broadly used by scholars... to describe militant white supremacists."[10]
...
Theoretical perspectives
The study of the radical right began in the 1950s as social scientists attempted to explain McCarthyism, which was seen as a lapse from the American political tradition. A framework for description was developed primarily in Richard Hofstadter's "The pseudo-conservative revolt" and Seymour Martin Lipset's "The sources of the radical right". These essays, along with others by Daniel Bell, Talcott Parsons, Peter Viereck and Herbert Hyman, were included in The New American Right (1955). In 1963, following the rise of the John Birch Society, the authors were asked to re-examine their earlier essays and the revised essays were published in the book The Radical Right. Lipset, along with Earl Raab, traced the history of the radical right in The politics of unreason (1970).[11]

The central arguments of The Radical Right provoked criticism. Some on the Right thought that McCarthyism could be explained as a rational reaction to communism. Others thought McCarthyism should be explained as part of the Republican Party's political strategy. Critics on the Left denied that McCarthyism could be interpreted as a mass movement and rejected the comparison with 19th-century populism. Others saw status politics, dispossession and other explanations as too vague.[12]

Paranoid style politics
Two different approaches were taken by these social scientists. Historian Richard Hofstadter wrote an analysis in his influential 1964 essay "The Paranoid Style in American Politics". Hofstadter sought to identify the characteristics of the groups. Hofstadter defined politically paranoid individuals as feeling persecuted, fearing conspiracy and acting over-aggressive yet socialized. Hofstadter and other scholars in the 1950s argued that the major left-wing movement of the 1890s, the Populists, showed what Hofstadter said was "paranoid delusions of conspiracy by the Money Power".[13]

Historians have also applied the paranoid category to other political movements, such as the conservative Constitutional Union Party of 1860.[14] Hofstadter's approach was later applied to the rise of new right-wing groups, including the Christian right and the Patriot movement.[11]
