What answer did the Judge give? "That would be a legal question. That would be a Constitutional question — and so in keeping with my obligation not to give hints, previews or forecasts of how I would resolve a case, that's not one that I can answer," she said. The Judge has no such obligation, until AFTER there is a case. Never has a President pardoned himself. The question is completely hypothetical, since there has never been a case even imagined, at least before Trump.

Here is another hypothetical case. If the Judge was asked this question, I'd demand they answer in order to test their powers of reasoning: "Assume Star Trek is real. Does Spock, or any Vulcan, have rights when they land in America?" The question is not as weird as "Can Presidents pardon themselves?" If the future Supreme Court Justice gives the following answer to question about Star Trek, don't place that Judge on the Court: "That would be a legal question. That would be a Constitutional question — and so in keeping with my obligation not to give hints, previews or forecasts of how I would resolve a case, that's not one that I can answer."

The five freedoms the Judge didn't want to answer: speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” – The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Democrat calls for delaying Barrett hearing after CNN uncovers 7 undisclosed talks she gave
https://theweek.com/speedreads/943857/democrat-calls-delaying-barrett-
hearing-after-cnn-uncovers-7-undisclosed-talks-gave

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett has a slew of other speeches she didn't disclose to the Senate, CNN reports.

Barrett gave at least seven talks at Notre Dame Law School she didn't reveal in her Senate questionnaire, including one with the school's anti-abortion group, public calendars from the school show. Those new discoveries were enough to convince Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a member of the Judiciary committee, that the final day of Barrett's hearings should be delayed. The new reports, combined with her refusal to answer many questions during the hearings, "have been actually very revealing about how unrevealing, uncandid this nominee has been," Blumenthal said.

The steamrolled confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett will, if it succeeds, lock in a pro-fascist majority to throw the election to Trump no matter how we vote. It will transform the highest court in the land into an instrument of white supremacist, Christian theocratic atrocity, stripping women, LGBTQ people, and many more of their basic human rights.

The Trump/Pence regime has already called legitimate protest "sedition." During a Fox interview, Trump branded protests after the election "insurrection" that he would "put down in minutes." Unbelievable? This would be a good time to remember the Russian dissident Masha Gessen’s first rule for dealing with authoritarian heads of state: “Believe the autocrat. He means what he says.”

For four years, this regime has demonized and brutalized immigrants, Black people, Latinos, Native Americans, women, LGBTQ people, the media and peaceful protesters. It opposes science, leading to a country and a planet burning and drowning, and to unconscionable unnecessary death and illness from COVID.

This is fascism, hammering in a form of rule that relies on terror and violence. If fascism fully takes hold in this country, the consequences for humanity will be catastrophic.

Amy Coney Barrett Knows Exactly What She Did in 2000

The Supreme Court nominee would be the third(!) sitting justice, alongside Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts, who worked on the Republican side of Bush v. Gore. Justice Clarence Thomas decided for Bush and is still on the court.

BARRETT: "I did work on Bush v. Gore on behalf of the Republican side. To be fully honest, I can't remember exactly what piece of the case it was."

I don't believe that Barrett doesn't remember what she did in 2000. I think she's proud of it and knows that is why she is Trump's choice. I think what she told the Senate is a barefaced non-fact.

Even though it laughably defined itself as non-precedential, Bush v. Gore established as fact the Supreme Court's ability to meddle in presidential elections and, indeed, to decide them de facto. When she is confirmed, this nominee will join two other justices who worked with her on the legal strategy that ended up as the illegitimate meddling in Bush v. Gore. She will be on the Court when and if the decisions relating to this election arrive there.

Opinion: Dianne Feinstein was harder on preteen climate activists than she was on Amy Coney Barrett

There’s bipartisanship, and then there’s bringing a pillow to a gun fight. The Republican Party has gotten very good at playing constitutional hardball. If Democrats can’t or won’t match that energy, there won’t be a prize for maintaining the moral high ground. There will just be a lot of predictable political impotence.

Adding insult to injury for progressives is the fact that Feinstein can be ferocious with political opponents. She just saves it for the real threats to our democracy — like, say, 11-year-old climate activists.

A video of Feinstein speaking dismissively to a group of tweenaged Sunrise Movement activists who asked her to support the Green New Deal went viral in February 2019, and it resurfaced this week as many liberals heavily criticized the senator. The contrast between the Feinstein of the Barrett hearings and the Feinstein of the Sunrise Movement encounter is jarring.

Compare friendly questions like “You don’t have a magic formula for how you do it and handle all the children and your job and your work and your thought process, which is obviously excellent, do you?” with curt remarks like “You come in here, and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.” Or “I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So maybe people should listen a little bit.” Who does Feinstein seem to hold in more disdain: a judge whose nomination is an affront, or a bunch of kids who are afraid of dying in a climate apocalypse?

Of course Feinstein’s (very, very, very) long political career can’t be adequately summed up by a handful of quotes from two events. But for young progressives, it’s deeply disappointing for one of the most senior Democrats in Congress to treat the Republicans rushing Barrett’s confirmation with kid gloves — after treating young Californians concerned about climate change with open contempt.

Don't worry. That case will be reversed this year. How do I know? Democrats who celebrated Monday’s decision are either naive or delusional. It was a fleeting victory that portends a crushing blow to democracy the moment Barrett dons her robe.

On Monday night, four Supreme Court justices signaled their desire to throw a bomb in the 2020 election — and every election thereafter. Their effort to sabotage the current race failed by one vote when Chief Justice John Roberts refused to go along with the plot, allowing Pennsylvania to ease mail-in voting rules in light of the pandemic. But these four ultraconservative justices will soon be joined by Amy Coney Barrett.

Too bad, but the case had nothing to do with photo ID.

By a 4–4 vote, with Roberts joining the remaining liberals, the court refused to block a decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that compelled the state to count mail-in ballots received by Nov. 6. A Pennsylvania statute requires mail-in ballots to be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found that this deadline would disenfranchise voters. Requests for mail-in ballots overwhelmed the state’s election officials in the primary, causing a delay; many ballots weren’t even mailed out until the night of the primary. The combination of COVID-19 and U.S. Postal Service delays threatened a similar train wreck in November. In light of this problem, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in September that ballots mailed by Election Day and received by Nov. 6 must be counted.

The court rooted its decision in the Pennsylvania Constitution’s free and equal elections clause, which protects “a voter’s right to equal participation in the electoral process.” It is a bedrock rule that state supreme courts have final say over the meaning of state constitutions. Here, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court found that its state Constitution protects voters whose ballots arrive up to three days late through no fault of their own. The federal judiciary has no power to overturn this reading of the law, but Trump's Pennsylvania Republicans appealed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision anyway.

Without getting into an argument over whether Obamacare forced upon us was selling us out, I will instead just say that it hasn't... yet.

And you misread the comment that you went out of your way to quote in the first place. I didn't say that the Supreme Court had sold our country out. I said, as you quoted, "a clone of either of Obama's picks that are going to sell our country out".

Not only did I state clones of Obama pics, specifically, but I used the word "going", to specify that this would happen in the future.

Here's a really good example of what happens when Leftist Obama pick clones get stacked in it:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-161_g314.pdf

Note the two Justices who offered dissenting judgements. Ginsberg wasn't one of them.

EDITED TO ADD: Another Legacy Media LIE that has been told since her passing was that Ginsberg was the furthest Left of all of the Justices... a lie they were either telling to make it sound like a bigger deal that she was being replaced with a Republican pick and/or another attempt to downplay just how far Left and Anti-American Obama's two picks were.

A brief history of the Judiciary under Republics; the radical departure of the US Constitution, and how to reform it now
http://bonddad.blogspot.com/2020/10/a-brief-history-of-judiciary-under
.html

7. As a result, the idea of a judicial retirement age was specifically rejected. It was envisioned that a lawyer would need a lifetime of experience to become fully versed in the precedents that would govern their decisions as a Supreme Court Justice.

8. We are now on the verge of all of the errors in the framers’ arguments for the Supreme Court coming to fruition. In the 19th Century, the average tenure of a Justice was less than 10 years, due mainly to life expectancy. Now that it is common to live into one’s 80s, Justices serving for 25 years or more are becoming increasingly common. Movement conservatives are using a theory of construction that did not even exist until about 40 years ago, and using it to overturn long-standing precedents (and are also inventing novel constructions nowhere found in the Constitution when it suits them: see Shelby County). They have declared statutes unconstitutional at a rate never before seen, and they are likely to revive the Lochner doctrine of 100 years ago that deemed almost all economic regulation unconstitutional.

9. Fundamentally, there are 3 approaches that can be used to change this dynamic, but 1 of them almost certainly involves a new Constitutional Amendment.

10. The first approach is to make all circuit court appellate judges also members of the Supreme Court, and delegate the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to rotating panels (just as the Circuit Courts of Appeal operate now). This requires being comfortable with the quality of the Appellate judiciary now, and probably moves the point of contention down from the Supreme Court to the Circuit Courts. By the way, this approach was seriously considered in the wake of Dred Scott by the Reconstruction Congress of 1869 which passed the 15th Amendment.

11. The second approach is to have single 18 year term appointments to the Supreme Court. This almost certainly requires a Constitutional Amendment, since there would be an involuntary retirement from the Court after 18 years regardless of “good behavior,” and we can certainly expect that the movement conservative justices are going to object.

12. The third approach is to have the President nominate two Justices during the 1st and 3rd years of their term, regardless of the number of justices that would create. The Court would probably have an even number of justices about half the time, leading to more split decisions (in which case the judgment of the lower court would stand).

13. Potentially the first and third approaches could be combined, so that panels of 9 Justices would hear any given case.

14. If it were up to me, I would expand the Court to 11 members immediately after Biden takes office, and also enact the third approach immediately. That would give Biden 3 appointment next year, immediately evening the number of justices appointed by Presidents of each party. Biden would get another appointment in 2023, and thereafter the winner of any Presidential election would get two appointments. Note that under this scenario the retirement or death of a Justice does not lead to any replacement appointment.

15. If the GOP got tired of this arrangement, then they could sign on to a Constitutional Amendment enacting the second option (a single 18 year term).

16. Because Biden would not get an automatic majority, this is not quite “court-packing.” It also would encourage justices to become more moderate in their decision-making, and nudge the political parties to a more permanent fair solution that maintains the framers’ intent for an independent judiciary.

Looks like it should be over on the 26th.

Murkowski from Alaska just said she'll vote yes, leaving only Collins of Maine as the lone Republican that might vote against the confirmation. Even if NeoCon TDS sufferer Romney flips, it still wouldn't need to go to Pence for the final vote.

And no... Roe v Wade isn't going anywhere. Anybody who tells you that it is needs to take a civics course, because they either failed it in high school or they're young enough that they weren't teaching it anymore.

Confirmed and sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas on the 26th of October.

People like to keep pretending that I don't know what I'm talking about 'round these parts, but the actual day this all happened couldn't have hit the bullseye better than my early prediction of the 23rd to the 30th.

And even though there's been relatively little attention to this particular issue compared to the dumb shit and fake news you idiots like to whine about everyday, it's going to be one that has lasting effects on our Nation far longer than any sitting president in the 2020's, let alone just the previous and/or the next 4 years.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Why do I suspect that your prediction did not make it to the Libtard Predictions thread?

I think that new Justices are allowed to select the person who swears them in.
It is heartening to see she chose the most gifted and venerable Justice on SCOTUS. Black folk must be screaming at the unfairness. The gall of her to choose based upon merit, character instead of anything else.

You're probably right. I can't be bothered to double up posts like that unless that thread is staring me in the face.

They usually put stuff I say in there when they REALLY think that I'm going to be wrong about it. They must have thought I was probably right on this one. Either that, or they're too stupid to realize that this was the most important prediction I made this year... even more important than who is President for the next 4 years.

It is possible Trump may have saved America.
Barrett was not merely shoehorned into RBG's spot. Sotomayor has been salivating over that Circuit, so now she got it.

And Thomas kept GA.
Alito kept PA.
Barrett got WI, the Circuit where she served 3 Years as a judge.
Kavanaugh got MI.

So, I've illustrated it, but does anybody know exactly what that means though?

Though I'm grateful to have had the Civics course in HS and to have taken an American Government class in college, I believe the inner-workings of the Supreme Court were above the pay grade of the teachers.

Is that really how the Supreme Court decides if it sees cases or not then? It's just as grossly partisan as everything else?

EDIT:

Elana Kagen is sitting pretty on the West Coast representing states that make up 105 Electoral College votes. Meanwhile Alito gets 37. Breyer really gets the shaft with just 23.

I think they need to work out a new map.

I guess that all depends on what exactly this means in the first place.

I believe Alito has 89.

Prior to Election counting defiance, It was Alito who specifically ordered that all PA votes received after 3 November were to be segregated, and not comingled or counted with the other, lawfully valid ballots.
And so PA promptly defied his order.

Meaning his "territory" covers what adds up to 89 Electoral votes?

I'm only seeing PA (20), NJ (14), and DE (3) for Alito on the map, or 37.

Am I missing something?

Yeah. They were very prompt about it, from what I heard.

I also "heard" that once the mail in ballots were separated from whatever paperwork made them mail in ballots that they are no different than a standard ballot and cannot be separated once put together.

But I've never actually seen either of them, so I don't know how true that is.

Oh... I didn't notice he had the 5th District too.

37 from the 3rd. Then Texas (38), Louisianna (8), and Mississippi (6). 89 total.

89. You're right.

Breyer still gets the shaft though. Either that, or he's the laziest dude up there.

Just another reason like this all seems like one huge scam to me.

How hard is it in 2020 to put a different number on mail in ballots, or to alter a barcode accordingly?

The answer is that it's not hard in the least bit, meaning that it was a conscious and an intentional decision.

Just before midnight Wednesday, the nation got its first glimpse of how profoundly President Donald Trump had changed the Supreme Court.

Only months ago, Chief Justice John Roberts was at the peak of his power, holding the controlling vote in closely divided cases and almost never finding himself in dissent. But the arrival of Justice Amy Coney Barrett late last month, which put a staunch conservative in the seat formerly held by liberal mainstay Ruth Bader Ginsburg, meant that it was only a matter of time before the chief justice’s leadership would be tested.

On Wednesday, Barrett dealt the chief justice a body blow.

She cast the decisive vote in a 5-4 ruling that rejected restrictions on religious services in New York imposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to combat the coronavirus, shoving the chief justice into dissent with the court’s three remaining liberals. It was one of six opinions the court issued Wednesday.

The ruling was at odds with earlier ones in cases from California and Nevada issued before Ginsburg’s death in September. Those decisions upheld restrictions on church services by 5-4 votes, with Roberts in the majority.

The New York decision said that Cuomo’s strict virus limits — capping attendance at religious services at 10 people in “red zones” where risk was highest, and at 25 in slightly less dangerous “orange zones” — violated the First Amendment’s protection of the free exercise of religion.

Wednesday’s ruling could be a taste of things to come.

You're the same guy who says deaths from Covid-19 are unimportant compared to the economic impact from preventing the deaths. ( If $ > deaths then let 'em die. ) The new Supreme Court justice has not been as forthright as you are, 6ix, but this ruling, which contradicts Supreme Court rulings from last month, is pretty strong proof she also thinks preventing deaths from Covid-19 is just as unimportant as you do.

Feeling smug? You are making a variation on the typical poor white trash argument I have heard thousands of time over the last 68 years that you are morally/spiritually/practically superior to your betters. It's a cheap yet effective psychological defense against feeling inferior for being poor.

compare-to-others-2018-09-24

The house was bought with cash and is easily worth $100k to $120k right now, and I'm looking to get at least $160k for it by the time I'm done doing all of the work myself with my abundant free time. Maybe $200k if I put more effort into it and wait for good market timing. Car's paid for. Got a nice little nest egg so I don't have to worry about where food is coming from for many, many years even if I wasn't employed for a single day during that time...

These figures are Per Houshold, based off of the "head of household" and not Per Individual...

Median Net worth for 35-44 year olds in the country: $59,800

Median Net worth for "Some College" (any age) $66,100

Credit Score: 822

DTI: Zero Debt... Access to tons of credit. Cheap tax area. Bare-bones minimal monthly bills. No rent/mortgage.

Retirement Savings Score: Doesn't really matter, I could easily live off of only 70% of what they currently tell me that I'd get for SSI when I'm 62.

I'm easily 2.5 to 3.5 times above those figures. 4 when I have my house ready to sell. I'm right about the median for any education level combined with any age.

And all of that is a single dude household. Those above figures are mostly considering the net worth of at least two people. On top of that, it's also a dude that's only worked about 2.5 years in the last 9 years.

There is no metric where I would be considered poor.

And really... Who can put a price on all the free time in the world?

Income doesn't really mean shit when you're a genius with the money you already had.

I've been semi-retired since I was 32 years old.

I'll work on occasion whenever I feel the need to pad the nest egg. And only until somebody gives me enough shit that I get the pleasure of shoving the job straight up their ass until the next time.

Well, Barrett has turned out to be quite useless.

She selected Clarence Thomas to swear her in, but then she distanced herself far from his genius during key judicial decisions.

Did she just pretend to be a Constitutionalist? An Originalist?

I see the democrats asked for, and the Supreme Court agreed to, remove the last 2 of Trump's immigration cases from the docket. That's too bad. I have an idea that they could have gone Trump's way, and would therefore have been important precedents. I suspect the democrats wanted them removed rather than take that chance.

And of course the mainstream GOP isn't going to keep those issues alive.
