I severely doubt Feinstein has anything credible on Kavanaugh. She can manufacture accusers all damned day but there's nothing legitimately wrong with the guy that would've slipped by 6 FBI investigations and decades on the bench.
I doubt that too.
I mean she's 85 or so. How much brain can be left at that age?
Do you know what is not likely to happen but would be beautiful regardless? Feinstein's driver that worked for her for 20 years before being found out to be a Chinese spy... Spoke up about a #metoo allegation. Lol
I feel like this is very counterproductive for the Democrats, kavanaugh will be supreme justice eventually and he gonna resent the peope who dragged him through the dirt
The problem is the Democrats have no proble with the SCOTUS being partisan, its just not the right kind of partisan
"I first decide the way the judgement should read and then figure out the reason" -- Actual left leaning law professor (won't identify whom)
This attitude is not unique either. There are reports from Ivy League law schools laying out long term plans for jurisprudence to fundamentally alter US law in areas like Free speech.
I know you guys don't believe me, but the 1st amendment is in mortal danger.
Senators can lie and slander with out recourse. Remeber Harry Reid "Romeny didn't pay taxes" he later admitted saying it worked, right.
The question is Pratel, do you think that the leftist law professor would give you the same leeway?
Because that is a serious violation of the basic laws of the country
Eat that, Radical Atheists!
damn, that explains a lot
@grant I was trying to remember who said that. Pretty Much. I got a feeling DiFi is rehashing an old trick here.
@Blackhawk342 Nope. But the real question is what anyone would do about it.
Basically that report is: if you meditate in some way, regardless of reason, you have better mental health.
Or at least if you choose a random person from a crowd and they tell you they meditate/pray they're more likely to have better mental health. It could be a correlated rather than causal. Maybe there's something else about the raising of those kids that is improving their mental health which is more likely to be found in families that are spiritual.
Or maybe the meditation only is a big help if you're in an abusive family, or something else of that nature, and so wouldn't be needed in many families, but for those whom it is needed it helps.
America should return to a confederacy so heavily blue states can live out their socialist dreams and libertarians/centrists/any political ideology? I think so.
america is too big to not be one honestly, we should have never stopped being one
so long as we use the same currency it should be fine, or at least have it be worth the same value across all states and just let them design the bills however they want.
Absolutely.
Everything in the US constitution language basically sets forward that the big decisions that affect you should be at state level at the highest.
The Federal Government is supposed to serve as a framework, with congressmen essentially operating as stewards of the Union.
The spirit of the first 10 amendments were all limitations on the government, not the people.
And the 10th Amendment is an important one. Powers not given to the Federal Government or restricted from the States by the Constitution are to be given to the States, or the people.
Utterly ignored today.
Meanwhile, overseas, we've got members of British parliament saying verbatim that the people should be accountable to the government...
One of the founding principles of the United States is that the Government is accountable to the People, always.
I just had a super dumb thought, but I could be onto something
If Social Justice Warriors believe that white people are inherently privileged, doesn't that mean they believe white people are superior just because they're white, therefore making SJWs apologetic white supremacists...?
@Vigil
Yes, basically
I think the opposite is also rather telling
For one to be superior
Another will be inferior comparatively. If they say whiteness itself has something superior to another.
Thats also imply all other races are inferior.
@Vigil That is the conclusion many people make. But you also could say because of inheriting wealth, education etc. other races will always be disadvantaged.
Another argument is that the police are biased against non-whites
Sure but bias is harder to measure than inheritance
Personally I think police bias lines up neatly with per capita crime stats, but that's not an airtight arguement against privilege.
Bias is subjective
