supreme court nominees

This is just comedy gold: Brilliant! No problems with serial sex abusers, but defending people well is a sin too far. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/supreme-court-ketanji-brown-jackson-guantanamo_n_6233d27ee4b0f1e82c47775b

https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/25/politics/supreme-court-ketanji-brown-jackson/index.html Let the "I'm totally not racist" racists find things wrong with her starting... now.

There doesn't seem to be a thread about Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. This writer contends that focusing on her anti-abortion, anti-ACA positions are a distraction. He calls her a Christian fascist...

Preface: I wanted to make a separate thread for the lesson for Democrats and the lessons for Republicans, but we have enough divisiveness already.

Can you sum up what any logical person is thinking after seeing the hearings on Thursday in one picture? This political cartoonist can: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=1359&pictureid=11905 An unidentified Republican attempts to rape Lady Liberty. That sure...

This is a continuation thread. Part I may be found here. It may be freely quoted and referenced in this thread. Yes. Gorsuch was a sophomore when Kavanaugh was a senior. (Or so I've read. Off to Wikipedia to be sure.....) ETA: Yep. Georgetown Prep. Kavanaugh graduated in 83, Gorsuch in 85.

I thought it was amusing how quickly Kavanaugh jumped up when he heard they were going on break. With all the water he's been sipping he must have had to go really badly!

Brett Kavanaugh. In my opinion, the best of a bad lot (if you're a liberal). Reaction?

The Republicans made believe that we cannot have the President nominate anyone for the Supreme Court during his last year in office. There is no precedent for this. Several Supreme Court Justices have been nominated and approved by the Senate during a President's last year in office, several...

Well McCain has pledged to block all democratic nominations to the supreme court now forever.

what the hell? from here: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504564_162-20006830-504564.html see the links at the end Kagan stating that: Is BAD? Since she, in other memos, went on at length as to her reasoning, the firearms carry tersness would seem to be, at least to me, stating she was...

from the article by Pat Buchanan at http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=153417 "Indeed, of the last seven justices nominated by Democrats JFK, LBJ, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, one was black, Marshall; one was Puerto Rican, Sonia Sotomayor. The other five were Jews: Arthur...

What makes you think any 'outsiders' read this thread? I'd be surprised if any did. The whole point of the JREFers is to make the thread so idiotic that no one will read it. Thus, from their perspective, the more idiotic their posts, the better. Just for fun, when you don't have anything...

Having browsed through a few Supreme Court opinions, it seems that Supreme Court Justices, for the most part, attempt to appeal to reason when writing their opinions. Now that Justice Stevens is retiring, what difference would it make if an atheist were elected to the Supreme Court?

The selection of a Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice John Paul Stevens should in no way involve the anticipated response of the Republicans in Congress. In keeping with their usual stance on any position the President takes on any issue, their response here will prove to be predetermined...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100409/ap_on_go_su_co/us_supreme_court_stevens So, any ideas on which drooling idiot Obama will pick to replace this drooling idiot?

Obama has nominated federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/26/supreme.court/index.html Her resume. My first impression: this is no Harriet Miers pick!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/31/scotus.bush/index.html A justice in the mold of Scalia. I hereby declare that the sky is falling. Oh well, at least this one is qualified.

http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051020/1065386.asp I am surprised that "the most qualified person" the president could find is weak on Constitutional law. But don't worry, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Spector said that despite strong conservative opposition to Miers, the...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pledged support in 1989 for a constitutional amendment banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother, according to material given to the Senate on Tuesday. As a candidate for the Dallas city council, Miers also...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/12/miers.ap/index.html You don't have to have any experience as a judge to be appointed to the Supremem Court, but you must have a good knowledge of the Bible?

Found this at Panda's thumb: http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2005/10/harriet_miers_a.html Harriet Miers has given 10 percent to 12 percent of her earnings — “if not more” — to the evangelical Valley View Christian Church in Dallas, where she has been a congregant for about 25 years. The...

I understand why people disagreed with my contention that Roberts did the people of the US by basically taking the fifth. Here we have another, this time with no record. Stealth candidate anyone? She probably won't comment on anything coming up (which is everything) she won't comment on...

I can't really find any info on him other than this site which makes him out to be quit partisan. http://slate.msn.com/id/2121270/?nav=ais Any source for any realistic assesment before the mud starts to fly?
