Law No more nationwide injunctions from district judges

Oh my! She should’ve used “jiggery-pokery,” or “argle bargle.” Or how about kulturkampf, tell me that isn’t some dark sounding made up shit.

This isn’t a business.

POTUS “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint…Judges of the Supreme Court.”
That’s it. There’s no other qualifications specified. Those things happened, she’s rated Well Qualified by the ABA, so what is the issue?

What side step. Do you think considering the demographics or personal characteristics of a judge is improper? That's your entire argument. If you think Jackson's appointment was improper, you're also arguing that Thurgood Marshall's appointment was improper. I believe both picks were qualified, and the president had discretion to use race or his own preferences to narrow down the pick.

Here's Johnson's remarks: "I believe he earned that appointment; he deserves the appointment. He is best qualified by training and by very valuable service to the country. I believe it is the right thing to do, the right time to do it, the right man and the right place."

Are you so biased that you can't read between he lines as to what the bolded part refers to (Marshall's race) or who he is addressing (those who would accuse Marshall of being a DEI pick)? Keep in mind that the only people considered for this nomination were black or women.

I’ve been consistent on this since the beginning. My problem is based on the fact that the talent pool for selection was artificially limited to an absurd level based on immutable characteristics that were irrelevant to the role.

Ceding more power to the executive branch again.

Do people not see this as a problem?

Retarded trumpers don't. I see a huge problem, constitution is getting fucked.

Cottagecheesefan is notorious for praising Fascism an having trumps cock in his mouth.

The talent pool for selection has always been artificially limited. In fact, there were more contenders for Jackson's appointment than there was for Marshall's.

So again, are you arguing that Marshall's nomination was a DEI? Jackson had an equivalent or higher rating than Marshall from the ABA, so either accept your logic's conclusion or explain why it's an exception.

That you can't even highlight what part of her CV is subpar is as plain as day.

I wish we could just live in a sane country.

The only way Cheese Brains will get it is if you tell him what the next Dem President can do now that they couldn't before.

And make it as cynical as possible regards to mass importation of migrants and transgender athletes in all sports lol

It absolutely is happening. The right wing CATO institute has confirmed it. Over 70 US Citizens deported and counting.

Cato isn't right wing. They're left libertarians who believe in open borders.

They're also absolute clownshoes.

The people get to vote them out if they don’t like their decisions.
The judges, not so much.

But see, these guys operate under the assumption that this concentration of power belongs to them, and that the SC will stop democrats from using it (at least to the same degree).
The whole thing about power entitlement is that it falls apart if power is shared

It is actually interesting that there was some parts of the big bill that address this. They even included language from a recent bill introduced by a democrat.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1265#:~:text=1265%20%E2%80%94%20118th%20Congress%20(2023%2D,extends%20beyond%20the%20parties%20involved.

Not really calling out democrats as hypocrites, because as pointed out, republicans have done it in the past too. It is the classic “I am in power and do not want this, but when I am not in power, I want to be able to do this”

Both sides suck lol

Edit: forgot to mention these parts of the bill were removed in the last few days due to that senate parliamentarian that is getting some notoriety lately

Yea the House and Senate did their own provisions but they both were bad if that's the same stuff (unaware what the dem portion of it was). I believe senate's was to have a bond paid that equated to whatever the cost of holding the order would be where most people wouldn't be able to challenge anything. They did it as a political stunt because it never was going to survive the Byrd rule.
The main problem isn't a pause or non-pause but rather that when the president does something, lawyers look to file in specific courts because they know they will get an order from it. Pam Bondi in that press conference was saying 35 of the 45 orders came from CA, MA, DC, NY and some other blue area. In Biden's term, they were consistently going to this Texas federal judge which also then goes into the 4th circuit which is a very right leaning court. You need to eliminate that type of gamesmanship in deciding where the case will happen or at least take it out of that judges hands. I don't want to ramble on too much about this but the judicial filibuster being removed will make this even worse over time as it changes the incentives/ behavior of federal judges seeking higher positions or those seating a federal seat.

That isn't to say either the court is overreacting on all these orders. A lot of them are due to Trump taking extreme legal stances on how far his authority goes. So part of the uptick is that but I believe theres been an uptick in this each term since Obama.

I am arguing against any artificial limitation of the selection pool based on non contributing immutable factors

So you also would have opposed Thurgood Marshall's nomination then? This is a simple yes or no and you can't even muster that.

Biden was a fucking idiot and im not gonna dispute that. But insinuating that there are in fact not racists around and that Kirk doesn't spew racist shit is hilarious.

I didn't say there aren't any racists out there. Of course there are, just not as many as some would like.

2 things can be true at the same time. Biden is an idiot for saying that and Kirk says some wildly bigoted shit on the regular

Any examples of Kirk being a racist/bigot?

You’re not paying attention if you think the rhetoric hasn’t gotten worse from the right.

That's the only time you care is when that rhetoric comes from the right, though. I you yourself would pay attention, you'd notice just how evil the rhetoric from the left has become over the last 10 years.

 

[Confucamus]

Do you consider Thurgood Marshall a DEI hire?

No. The 1960's was a much different story vs the 2020's.

 

[avenue94]

Why was he not a DEI hire and why was the 1960s a different story?

I'm sensing double standards.

 

[Rob Battisti]

So you also would have opposed Thurgood Marshall's nomination then? This is a simple yes or no and you can't even muster that.

My statements already showcased my opposition to any selection where the pool was artificially reduced. If that was indeed the case with Marshall, then yes.

However, I didn’t say I opposed the nomination if you read my posts. I said I have an issue with the way in which the nomination occured.

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I didn't say there aren't any racists out there. Of course there are, just not as many as some would like.

I don't think anyone who dislikes racists would want there to be more lol. I'd love to believe there were far less but unfortunately reality is a cruel bitch.

Any examples of Kirk being a racist/bigot?

How much time ya got?

 

[HereticBD]

Have the Liberals figured out that they're losing yet?

All I see is "racist" this, "sexist" that.
