RGB could have retired during the Obama presidency.

Why did Scalia's family decline an autopsy when the Right claimed foul play?
I'd venture an easy and reasonable guess.
1) Families often don't want to cut up their loved one. They are gone. They are satisfied with how it happened. No need to sully their death.
2) Meanwhile, others' interests are far less personal, and if they can twist a story one way or another, they will.


The Right was saying he was offed.....but his family wanted no part of finding out what was in his bloodstream.

Meanwhile RBG and Scalia are reunited in 18th century heaven


&q=85

RBG; " My deathbed wish comes true."

Scalia; : " Place your hand on my redoubtable staff."

Her Commander husband looks displeased...like he is going to give his handmaid Justice a beating if she doesn't display appropriate enthusiasm at their next Ceremony.

Interesting that an eminently qualified jurist who has accomplished so much more than any one posting here (including myself) is judged based on her eyes and voice (or desirability) by the liberal crowd just because she is a female candidate. What, you originally liked another eminently qualified jurist like RBG because you liked her eyes and her voice and would date her?
I'm not aware of what her voice sounds like, as I did my best to avoid the hearings. However, I would be reticent to appoint any judge to any court that I thought might put a religious text ahead of a strictly legal interpretation of the law and IMO, she has that bias. And that would go for any religion.

Separation of church and state is a good thing.

You know ANTIFA is getting dressed up, the protests give them an excuse to try out new gear bought over the hiatus using Amazon prime.

Not only has she blurred the divide between church and state, but she has stepped over the line between branches of government. She swore an oath of loyalty....to tRump....and he is showing off his possession just like he shows off Hope Hicks. His self pardon will be ratified by SCOTUS now.

Bearister: At this point, I think you are beyond therapy. maybe a presidential commission to make recommendations as what to do with people who present your mindset. No building in Oklahoma City is sAfe with you roaming the streets. "If you think you are thinking of harming others or are thinking of harming yourself, please call 911. Please do not drink and drive."

The Left Doesn't Fear Amy Coney Barrett, It Fears the Constitution

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/10/the-left-doesnt-fear-amy-coney-barrett-it-fears-the-constitution/

Quote:

Nothing threatens the progressive project more than the existence of a Supreme Court that adheres to the Constitution. It's really that simple.

That's what the tantrum over Justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation is all about. The notion that the same Democrats who shelved the judicial filibuster and now threaten to destroy the separation of powers with a Court-packing revenge scheme the same people, incidentally, so fond of smear-drenched confirmation hearings are sticklers for process or decorum is simply ludicrous.

Please...leftists....you don't care about the Constitution and then you're worried it will be discarded?

All this hypocritical, self-righteous democratic and leftist caterwauling is classic.

Does anyone with a shred of objectivity think for a millisecond the dems wouldn't have added their own nominee to replace both justices, just like the republicans did?

It's not about right or wrong or fairness. It's just whining from the losers because they would have done the exact same thing.

Two liberals on Amy Barrett.

We need a core of liberal and conservative centrists who work together to preserve the institutions.

Hypocrites calling others hypocritical. Nice.

Classic projection, too. Assume the other side would act or has acted in the same underhanded way your side has. Anything to convince yourself that your side's behavior is ok.

Yeah, just like we were happy about a black justice named Clarence Thomas.

To me that isn't the issue. The issue is the Supreme Court has now been constructed by minority governance to impose their will on the American people for the next 30 years. Tyranny of the minority. The Constitution has checks and balances and one of the checks against the Supreme Court is that Congress gets to "ordain and establish" it.

Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

But the Supreme Court is for a lifetime and the makeup of the Congress changes over time. Seems like a big flaw in the "by the people, for the people" rule. Why not just have an equal number of right/left judges and one libertarian/centrist continually?

Part of the issue there is that the definitions of "right/left" change over time. And for a lifetime appointment that could be an issue.

But I think there is a good argument for term limits on SCOTUS. Lifetime appointments clearly can become political deathmatches, but if you know you're getting regular turnover on the court then it's not so much.

I think the best solution would be 9 Judges with 18 year terms. A President picks a new Justice every 2 years. We also need to add states like Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. to eliminate the Senate imbalance with the people. Would be good to break California in two also - dare to dream.

But since term limits would require a Constitutional amendment, I think we should just have a 13 Justice Supreme Court. Easiest way to rebalance the Court with the American people.
