Oh? Judicial can only rule what the law says.. IF that is true, then why all this talk about over turning Roe vs Wade? I mean, if the law says only one thing, then how can it be over turned? Answer: Because rulings are not just about what the law says, but how a judge's personal bias beliefs, party pressure, which influence their interpretation of what the law says. It shouldn't be that way, but that doesn't change the fact that the laws are influenced in ways they shouldn't be. The very fact that Barrett is evasive on answer questions that are clearly and concretely spelled out in the constitution should worry everyone, not just the left, but the right as well.This assumes you believe that SCOTUS ruled incorrectly. The judiciary can only rule what the law says, not what you wish it to be, and if you want to know the origin of my ire towards Democrats, it is the voter suppression obstacles in front of absentee military ballots at a time when the military tended to consistently vote GOP.
Did Bush have legal grounds to do so within the boundaries of the law as written? SCOTUS said yes.SCOTUS stopped a legal recount being conducted by the state of Florida because Bush objected.
Turns out Gore had more votes then Bush so you do the math.
Other SCOTUS nominees have chosen not to answer questions, and she has made it clear that she will evaluate the law with originalism to guide her decisions. She is a protege of Scalia, who RBG seemed to get a long with just fine.Oh? Judicial can only rule what the law says.. IF that is true, then why all this talk about over turning Roe vs Wade?

funny how she refused to answer nearly every question related to the constitution.. you keep drinking the Orange Kool-Aid and wearing your rose colored glasses. We won't even get into the missing information that she was required to summit.Other SCOTUS nominees have chosen not to answer questions, and she has made it clear that she will evaluate the law with originalism to guide her decisions.

Feinstein is a fucking pox.
No, I stated that Bush challenged the recount, and SCOTUS agreed with the challenge, the judiciary can’t magically change election laws to handle a wild outlier scenario like what happened in 2000. It’s become increasingly clear that people are evaluating SCOTUS depending on their emotional response to the outcome of its decisions.Your argument just became SCOTUS Ruled correctly because SCOTUS Ruled correctly.
Clinton lied about a bj, meanwhile Trump was trying to get political favours from a foreign country to help his re-election campaign. IMO it's not even in the same league. If Clinton or Obama had done something similar you bet the Dems would hold them accountable. Heck Al Franken got kicked to the side for some sexual assault allegations because Dems held him accountable.How many Democrat Senators held Clinton accountable for perjury? If 5-4 partisan decisions indicate SCOTUS is broken, you do realize its the 4 liberal justices that hardly break ranks. For all the cry wolf alarmism and ample opportunities to do so, a conservative leaning court has yet to deliver the judicial apocalypse you fear.
BS...as if Repubs wouldn't backtrack on any agreement in order to "win". The fact that only ONE GOP senator had the integrity to hold Trump accountable in his impeachment shows what the "law and order" party are all about. Biden should definitely do it. SCOTUS shouldn't be politicized but it's too late for that...the constant 5-4 partisan judgments lays that bare for everyone to see. And the more partisan in favour of Repubs it gets, the less and less it reflects the will of the people (ie. the most universally popular policies are the Democrat ones). So Biden should ABSOLUTELY stack the courts (this is assuming Dems also have the Senate at some point).

In the Senate none, but in the house many. You continue to bring revisionist stories up on things. What does the impeachment of a President have to do with the testimony given over the last few days for a SCOTUS nominee? Judges are impeached all the time. Presidents not so much.
The poster I responded to mentioned Trump’s impeachment specific to the Senate, yet we have two impeachments during my lifetime where the narratives literally flip. You can direct your concern towards that poster, I was simply responding.
Your friend sounds disingenuously concerned and not worth my timeI have added all of the pertinent information so I can outline your dishonesty.
You continue to tout BothSiderism. Every time you are confronted with a GOP action, you mention a Democratic one. Somehow you fold time and space to make your point, then when I or someone confronts you with these facts, you say I was responding to the poster; therefore, you cannot answer another’s points no matter how factual or how they destroy your BothSiderism manipulation of how things are different than your folding of space and time.
Do you not see that you flip flop like a fish out of water? How much energy do you need for that? Asking fir a friend.
Clinton lied under oath and obstructed justice to cover up his predatory sexual infidelity, and Senate Democrats failed to do their duty in holding him accountable.Clinton lied about a bj, meanwhile Trump was trying to get political favours from a foreign country to help his re-election campaign. IMO it's not even in the same league. If Clinton or Obama had done something similar you bet the Dems would hold them accountable.

That kind of thing is not even a blip on the radar for GOP at this point (despite credible allegations against Trump and he himself saying he could/would sexually assault women "because he can"). Take Jim Jordan as another example...where's the accountability?
Regarding the courts, the more conservative it leans, the more likely to have IMO good (maybe not perfect) policies (ACA, Roe Wade, voting rights, etc) overturned.
Ummm no, you really should read up on it.It takes a majority of the House to impeach. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to remove. However it's a Senate rule so they can change it to 50%+1. Just like the SCOTUS rule change
It was OK when it was the Ginsburg rulefunny how she refused to answer nearly every question related to the constitution.. you keep drinking the Orange Kool-Aid and wearing your rose colored glasses. We won't even get into the missing information that she was required to summit.
It took you at least 3 months to understand that Trump was indeed impeached. Bless you.Ummm no, you really should read up on it.
The Impeachment Clause
Give it a shot.
Your friend sounds disingenuously concerned and not worth my time
forgot: bbbbut trump.Interesting that you avoid the repeated points I have made. Seems that we can now expect - Yawn*, Edgy*, Goalposts* or the Democrats did it first*. LOL! You are consistent.
forgot: bbbbut trump.
Nope, i knew it was easy for the Democrats to lay those false charges for an impeachment out there. To get a conviction? No way, not guilty.It took you at least 3 months to understand that Trump was indeed impeached. Bless you.
