You are conflating conservative with originalist/textualist, which is okay in a way. Judgment based on limited government and original intent is a lot less political than the newfound, unenumerated, or implied rights the three ‘liberal’ justices employ.

Ours may be the most publicized and sensationalized, but not the most politically influenced. Other than from the left.

You’re bouncing all over the place on this. There is no more rational or less political structure, anywhere. The truth is, the court has suffered from activists, no matter which party they were nominated by, than by originalist/textualists. In fact, your complaints and solutions both would pull the court to a more political state to satisfy.

The Border Patrol needs to be backed up by ICE enforcement of laws against hiring and housing illegals.

You suggest that the court is illegitimate because the president isn’t elected by popular vote - which would be unconstitutional - then support packing it to delegitimize it. Illogical.

FTFYAH In Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill, in the WinStar Casino, there are two huge, wall sized photos of Keith entertaining troops overseas. In one Keith is wearing his cowboy hat, surrounded by troops. In the other, Toby is wearing one of the troops hat that has the unit patch on it and one of the troops is wearing Toby’s cowboy hat. That means something to guys whose attitude is “don’t mess with my hat.” RIP Toby, you did well.

I agree with your assessment and if he makes it to November, I believe he’ll get fewer votes than last time.

Conspiracy theorist?

It just seems there’s something to the rules because the refs make the same calls even after reviewing.

The rules for takedowns this year are absolutely mangled. There’s too many refs making the same calls to blame them, I think.

That’s not until 2028, which is one reason he was negotiating this travesty.

This bill is not anything like what conservatives want. I just hope that Oklahomans remember this in Lankford’s next election.

No they don’t. But the Chamber of Commerce does.

Biden can start enforcing the law anytime he wants and he has resumed building some wall.

He tried to get it in the first two years through a McConnell/Ryan led Congress that was enamored with the Hiliary/FBI collusion fraud. That he accomplished what he did is testament to his ability. He built some wall and did it constitutionally, and had the crossings down to a small fraction of what they are now. How in your TDS peened mind do you account for that helping or enriching him? Especially when he’s in the construction business and lost billions to serve as President.

I’m not too sure the coach’s rating will follow the ref’s call, either.

I doubt that. I’d have to see the union member vote tally. President Trump will take care of it with his new DEI program. Deport Every Illegal.

81million votes my ass.

#mspart: This has begun with state laws pledging their electors to the national popular vote getter. Watch those states spin when Trump wins the popular vote.

Good chance that the decision to put a backup out at 125 amounted to six of one, half a dozen of the other. The difference was established on the mat by Spratley defeating Surtin; Travis defeating Mauller; and Thompson defeating Mocco. The upsets. Watching Fix, it looked like he was super fired up at the beginning of the season. Now it appears that with the realization that the team truly is strong, he’s on cruise, not trying to carry so much on his shoulders. He looks like he’s ready to take it to the tournaments.

I think seven would be a good number. [sarc]

Nine is fine no matter how many people are in the country. We don’t need 81 different opinions on constitutionality, sometimes nine is too many. We’ve got plenty of lower court judges to hash out all the various theories.

So, just another random thought, void of reason?

Then why would an expansion be a good idea?
