Supreme Court shoots itself in the foot.

[Lastamender]

It violates the first amendment right of free speech and association.

It violates the fourth amendment right to privacy with our body.

It violates the 14th amendment right to equal justice under the law.

Vaccines do the same thing. And equal justice is long gone.

I didn’t say what he did was illegal I said the Dems have a legitimate gripe. McConnel set a precedent that would only allow a SCOTUS nominee to pass if the POTUS and Senate are controlled by the same party. I do not believe that hyper partisan method is how the system was intended to work so changes to the system are very warranted.

McConnell’s lame, meritless ‘justification’ was that because a vacancy manifested during an election year, the appointment shouldn’t be confirmed until after the election.

Needless to say, McConnell would do the same reprehensible thing if a vacancy manifested during a non-election year.

If the rules on voting don't change the vote is useless. The government will be appointed not elected.

Our voting system has never been checked and scrutinized as much as it is now. It is safer and more secure than it has ever been. Kudos to those good people who dedicate their time to running such an incredible process! God bless America!!

 

[Crepitus]

The new you is asking for a very bloody civil war and you are on the verge of one if yer party EVER screws with the polls again.

Oh look, more threats of violence from the right. How surprising.

Derp.

Agreed… election year had nothing to do with it as we found out during this last run. It’s all about power… McConnell is full of shit, no surprise

The last election was fraudulent. The election was run sloppily and no one has been held accountable yet. More proof there was massive fraud.

 

[Crepitus]

if anyone else said that I would believe you,, but sadly your reputation precedes you,,

Your ignorance isn't my problem.

lol

Vaccines aren't ‘government.’

How so?

 

[Lastamender]

Derp.

The Left does the same thing, but they throw in murder, looting, and arson too.

 

[Crepitus]

So you really think you found a unicorn? Name the appointee that didn't go through the legitimate process.

.

Already done at least twice. Read the thread.

 

[Slade3200]

"Of course it’s within the president’s authority to nominate a successor even in this very rare circumstance — remember that the Senate has not filled a vacancy arising in an election year when there was divided government since 1888, almost 130 years ago — but we also know that Article II, Section II of the Constitution grants the Senate the right to withhold its consent, as it deems necessary."

I thought he said something about an election year and people deciding… did you ever hear him say anything along those lines?

 

[Crepitus]

It's a civil statute that is enforced by individual citizens. Tell the class, what makes that unconstitutional?

.

Again, already explained. Read the thread.

Tell me what state has passed a law forcing anyone to get a vaccine and allows vigilantes to snoop and spy on their neighbors to turn them in for a 10 thousand dollar bounty.

You can't because no state has done that.

Texas has done that with abortion.

There is no comparison.

You are perfectly free to not get vaccinated and no one will spy on you to take you to court to sue you for 10 grand and force you to pay the court costs.

You are so lame.

The last election was run incredibly well. Despite all the lies being told by Trump and efforts made by dishonest and now disbarred lawyers from all over the country, the election results held and no fraud was ever shown besides a couple insignificant cases by offenders on both sides.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

And "divided government"

Are you serious? How dumb are you?

 

[Slade3200]

And "divided government"

Right… so what was your understanding of his message with all that?

 

[Slade3200]

Are you serious? How dumb are you?

Yes… probably like a 3 out of 10

And then turned around and did exactly the opposite three years later.

Which one is illegitimate?
