    Invasion?

    Data shows that even under Hamas accounting, non-combatant casualty rates are far below the level of Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Yes, a beauty of the thing is that it has proven adaptable, but the necessity is to prevent its modification sans the legitimate process, as the leftist justices are wont to do.

    No connection beyond rejection.

    I’m aware of enough of our history to know that scholars have gone to great lengths to discern the intent of the founders. This effort has gone on since before Marbury v. Madison. Whether by the qualifying term of originalist or not. There are libraries of their contemporaneous writings, laws, and negotiations, as well as progressive records of subsequent studies. Enough so that it is rare to read a Court decision without finding references to the intent of the writer’s referenced provision.

    Now you’re just making stuff up.

    That’s reassuring. [sarc]

    Buzz off.

    It’s something everyone does occasionally. With Biden, it’s more often than not.

    Generally, this is satisfied during a lengthy, vigorous campaign, but we can’t really rely on that or an honest press to convey the truth.

    Recognition? No physical sensation whatsoever.

    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.
  24. Offthemat
    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.
