Speaking of Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg, anyone else NOT planing to see this bio pic when it comes out in December:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4669788/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Here's the plot summary:

The story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights and what she had to overcome in order to become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.

That's just so creepy. They're terrified of her dying, and eulogizing her before she's dead.

Good lord. I bet none of these idiots would ever vote for her anyhow.

Oh I'll go a bit further than that. Roe was horrible jurisprudence and likely the biggest failure of the high court. It absolutely should be overturned because it was a garbage decision given there is 'zero' constitutional authority to support it. Justice Kennedy's wet dream decision for gay marriage by trying to wrap it in the 14th amendment is another decision that should be set aside given its also a bastardization of non-existent constitutional authority.

Agreed. Those were poor decisions, IMO. I don't necessarily disagree with their outcomes, but I believe that how we arrive somewhere is every bit as important as where we arrive.

Same here. Both topics: Abortion and gay marriage.

In fact: I'm libertarian/liberal, depending upon your perspective and definitions. Still: Bad jurisprudence is bad jurisprudence.

When are we supposed to force a vote on Kavanaugh?

The running commentary I use to offend the millenials around here goes like this. Reach down and pull out the top of your britches and look down. If you see some stuff dangling there you're male. If you don't, you're female. End of topic. Their response is usually priceless.

Plumbing can be switched out. But, the question of whether you're female or male can be answered simply with a DNA test. Perhaps DNA tests should be required in order to obtain a VALID form of ID.

Fox News

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas poked Sen. Cory Booker over the New Jersey Democrat's much-mocked invocation of "Spartacus" during last week's confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh.

Booker was roundly ridiculed after threatening to defy the Senate rules and release what he thought were confidential documents concerning Kavanaugh’s past,


“This is about the closest I’ll probably ever have in my life to an ‘I am Spartacus’ moment,” said Booker.

Thomas, who called his own contentious confirmation hearing back in 1991 a "high-tech lynching," took a jab at Booker during a conversation with the Federalist Society that aired Wednesday on C-SPAN.

“Honorable – if we could use that word about more people who are in public life, people who actually ask the questions at confirmation hearings, instead of 'Spartacus,'” Thomas said, prompting loud laughter in the audience.

The famously circumspect jurist went to lament that the overtly partisan confirmation hearings may pose a threat to civil society as lawmakers are more interested in scoring political points rather than questions the suitability of nominees.

“If we could use the word honorable more often, think about the difference it'll make,” he said. “Then, you'll have a legacy. We will have left the country in better shape, morally, structurally than we found it.”

“But as long as we're looking at our interests, or scoring points, or looking cute, or being on TV,” Thomas continued, “Especially the legal system, how do we maintain it? If you can't debate hard issues honestly, with honor, with integrity, how do we keep a civil society?”


After Booker's dramatic declaration, it was revealed that the potential 2020 presidential election contender, already had the approval to disclose the emails and the spectacle was merely theatrics.

“We cleared the documents last night shortly after Senator Booker’s staff asked us to,” William Burck, a lawyer working for former President George W. Bush told the New York Times.

“We were surprised to learn about Sen. Booker’s histrionics this morning because we had already told him he could use the documents publicly. In fact, we have said yes to every request made by the Senate Democrats to make documents public,” he added.

“Apparently, someone just wanted to break the rules and make a scene, but didn’t check their email,” a spokesman for committee Republicans said in a statement. “All of this drama this morning apparently was for nothing and it’s unfortunate,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters.

The Senate Judiciary Committee's vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been delayed until next week.

In a vote on party lines, the committee voted on Thursday, 11-10, to set the vote on Kavanaugh's nomination for September 20 .

Clarence Thomas is the best!

Oh look, the "tolerant" Left is showing us their true selves once again.

quote:

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and her staffers are facing taunts and threats over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, including a rape threat, reports the New York Times.

Buried under no fewer than ten paragraphs and the anodyne headline, “Interest Groups Turn Up Pressure on Senators Before Kavanaugh Vote,” the far-left New York Times finally gets to the meat of the story with the news that Collins and her staffers are facing “threats” and “vulgar language” from the left-wing Resistance, all of this in the hope of intimidating Collins to vote against Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

“The [left’s] frustration has boiled over at points,” the Times understates. “Annie Clark, a spokeswoman for Ms. Collins, provided The New York Times with copies of a letter and multiple voice mail messages addressed to the senator using vulgar language and outright threats.”

One example of a threat is a “caller [who] told a 25-year-old female staff member at one of Ms. Collins’s Maine offices that he hoped she would be raped and impregnated.”

Delayed? I didn't cite a source, but back on September 6th I posted that the 20th was already the date the committee planned to vote on.

I think CNN's spinning just a little bit when they say "delayed".

Not at all. The Committee’s rules allow a one week postponement on the vote, which the minority was expected to, and did, demand.

The vote could have been today, but for that procedural maneuver. So, next week it is.

Technically a delay, but one that was fully expected.

Ah, a backdated delay. I'd apologize to CNN, but...that's pretty darn technical, given that the plan is moving along just as it was always expected to.

I'm an atheist and I don't have a problem with abortion

my view is that if you're against abortion, don't have one

but if its a decision that the individual wants to make, then the individual should be able to make it

I don't believe it should have ever been a federal issue
