Right; concur. And the Us v. Them thing alienates them further and more, leaving the Red20% v. Blue20% to slug it out...and so on and so on.

“Generous donors,” the application materials said, were making “a significant financial investment in each and every attendee.” In exchange, the future law clerks would be required to promise to keep the program’s teaching materials secret and pledge not to use what they learned “for any purpose contrary to the mission or interest of the Heritage Foundation.”seacoaster wrote:See this:

Eligibility for General Honors is based on the grade point average (GPA) earned in courses taken only at Yale, with letter grades carrying the following values:
A _referral_ for investigation - sounds more like an announcement to make Fox/Breitbart/Daily Caller/etc salivate for a week of stories two weeks before the midterm elections.

Kavanaugh isn't going to be impeached for lies the Democrats made up. If impeached, he definitely won't be removed. You need 2/3 Senators to vote to remove him. That isn't happening. Maybe in your wet dreams, but I deal with reality, not fantasy. The Dems screwed the pooch. They made up lies about Kav and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Plus the Republicans aren't going to lose the House nor the Senate. You obviously haven't been paying close attention to anything but MSM lies and spin.holmes435 wrote:Yeah, basically the news is that Grassley wrote a letter suggesting someone look into it.RedFromMI wrote:A _referral_ for investigation - sounds more like an announcement to make Fox/Breitbart/Daily Caller/etc salivate for a week of stories two weeks before the midterm elections.

The irony being if they do get investigated and it supports them in any way and the Dem's somehow win on election day, this could easily be fodder for Kavanaugh impeachment.
No actual evidence??? You mean like during the Kavanaugh hearings? You are such a loser. It is laughable. And a hypocrite and a doofus. You lose, We won. Get over it sucker.RedFromMI wrote:A _referral_ for investigation - sounds more like an announcement to make Fox/Breitbart/Daily Caller/etc salivate for a week of stories two weeks before the midterm elections.

Nope, make that the recusing supremes collectively. Who paid for Ginsberg European trip and why?njbill wrote:The last person on the planet who wants more investigation is Bret Kavanaugh.
I apologize to you profusely here coaster that I did not address your main point. Here is my response to you directly... the SCOTUS took the case, they will decide it and that is kinda what they do... does that work for you? As for your comments that I was disrespectful to Buzzi. What rock did you just crawl out of? Since Buzzi earned her spot on the court the observation on her resemblance to Ruth Buzzi has been noted by many people. I can't believe you can be so obtuse to not understand where the nickname came and not understand how many years it has been in circulation. To inform you even more, because you are so oblivious of some things Ruth was given the nickname for her tenacious nature in defending far left social issues as NOTORIOUS RBG. From all reports, when explained to her by her clerks, Buzzi was very pleased with the nickname derived from a person of very dubious reputation.seacoaster wrote:The Supreme Court just added this racial gerrymandering case to its term:

A description from Amy Howe (at http://www.scotusblog.com/2018/11/court ... ts-docket/):
"The justices will once again return to the subject of racial gerrymandering, in a case from Virginia challenging the districting plan drawn in 2011 for the state’s House of Delegates. In 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that a three-judge district court had applied the wrong legal standard when it upheld 12 districts against claims that they were the product of racial gerrymandering. The justices sent the case back to the lower court, ordering it to take another look at 11 of those districts – and, in particular, whether race was the primary factor used to draw the districts. (The justices upheld the 12th district.)
Applying the standard outlined by the Supreme Court, the lower court concluded that race was indeed the primary factor driving the district boundaries. Because the legislature also had not shown that it needed to use the same population targets in each of the “vastly dissimilar” districts at issue to comply with federal voting rights laws, the lower court continued, the districts violate the Constitution.
The Virginia House of Delegates and Kirkland Cox, the speaker of the House of Delegates, appealed to the Supreme Court, which announced today that it would review their appeal. (Redistricting cases are among a narrow set of cases with an automatic right to appeal to the Supreme Court.)
The Virginia board of elections and department of elections and several state officials filed a separate brief, represented by Virginia’s solicitor general, Toby Heytens. Heytens urged the justices to dismiss the legislature’s appeal, telling them that the House of Delegates and Cox lack a legal right to appeal because Virginia’s attorney general is responsible for representing the state in cases like this one. The fact that Mark Herring, Virginia’s attorney general, has declined to appeal the lower court’s decision to the Supreme Court does not, Heytens contended, allow the legislators to do so instead.
This morning the justices announced that they would review the district court’s decision, but they also ordered the parties to address the question broached by Heytens — whether the legislature and Cox have a legal right to bring their appeal — in their briefs."
I confess that I too was quite unaware of this 'joke'. So, I googled Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg.cradleandshoot wrote:I apologize to you profusely here coaster that I did not address your main point.

Since you and I can now debate Buzzi on a level playing field I don't hold her in the same high esteem that you do. IMO she is at best a mediocre judge who was the ying to judge Scalias yang. Both were very vocal in their opinions on different beliefs of how the US Constitution should be interpreted. Oddly enough Judge Scalia and Judge Ginsberg were the closest of friends. They understood their roles and were more aware of where each other were coming from than any of us here on this forum can understand. I don't hate Ruth Bader Ginsburg or mean to in any way ridicule her. She had a freaking nickname that 99.9 % of America was aware of for many years. Sorry Coaster that I was unaware of the fact that under your rock that you reside that you were unaware of this. At this stage of the game... if you have not been paying attention Judge Ginsberg is very frail and looks like sheet when she appears on TV. I admire her tenacity and the drive to carry on but I would question her ability to do so. She should have stepped aside when the opportunity was there. A like minded judge philosophically could have won the nomination, buzzi is stubborn enough to want to keep her job. I get that.
My very last point that damn near stroked you out... if something happens to buzzi and she can no longer serve on the SCOTUS that buddy of yours Trump will get another candidate to nominate. If and when that happens... and I wish no ill will on buzzi… the democrat party of the United States of America will go out of their minds while trying to wrap their arm around the fact that another FRC justice will be nominated to the SCOTUS. This is not the kind of event that FLP can ever allow to happen without conducting a nationwide sheetstorm of protest in the process.
