The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

[AM64]

It's not about her for f*** sake! It is quite possible that the Supreme Court will soon be hearing a case involving a January 6th rioter... Thomas should have to recuse himself from that case, because of his wife's involvement in the events of that day.

Why? You wouldn't argue that a justice recuse himself or herself over an issue that his/her party considers sacred. If a judge has positions or biases, you are OK if they represent your belief, and you don't consider them a conflict of interest, so why should a justice (or any judge) have to face recusal or limit his or her spouse's actions? Wouldn't that be tantamount to slavery or at least stripping constitution rights from the spouse? If you actually go by what's written and not decide to "interpret" or make new law from the bench, there really should be no problem in the first place.

 

[C-south]

Sure. But it's also accurate, and ok, to say some white folks took advantage of some non white folks.

And some black folks sold their own people. While many groups thrived and advanced some remain as 3rd world sh**holes. A continent that is full of so many resources seems to only produce disease, virus, and civil unrest. We never talk about the root causes.

LOL. You're an idiot.

Ok poll dancer.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So you’re not outraged that she’s being falsely accused of being sympathetic to pedophiles?

After what Kavanaugh was put through? Karma wins in the end.

 

[AM64]

LOL. You're an idiot.

So no valid counter.

 

[RockyTop85]

Many principles of critical race theory are taught in many public schools. This is not a problem limited to private schools. In this case it happens to be a private school because that's the example that relates to this judge. It would serve no purpose to include a school she had nothing to do with.

I personally don't have a problem with private schools teaching this if they must but I'd sure question the judgment of their Board if they did. That's why it's being brought up now

She says her board doesn’t set the curriculum. There’s no evidence to say otherwise and it seems absurd to think that they would. Seems strange that anyone would question her judgment under those circumstances.

That’s the real reason it was brought up. Ted is hoping to run in ‘24 and maybe he’ll get a few votes from the people who can bridge all the logical gaps separating her from critical race theory with nothing more than just a vague association.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Or maybe even better would be to revert to something resembling the three Rs and quit playing political and social games with the school curricula. Teach fact in schools and let parents handle the social and political agenda as they see fit. If there's controversy or political belief involved in a topic, it isn't fact.

Oh I agree that is what I want my school system teaching. 100%. But if Atlanta parents want a bunch of woke dumbasses, it is their business...and better for us.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Sure. But it's also accurate, and ok, to say some white folks took advantage of some non white folks.

Then it is accurate and okay to say some non-whites did not take advantage of desegregation and began making really poor life decisions leading to 75%+ out of wedlock births and the attendant bad outcomes associated with that.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

That's a cop out. That event was highly partisan.

The January 6th rally was an extension of Donald Trump's effort to overturn the result of his own electoral defeat. The rally had nothing to do with preserving the American democratic system of elections. It had everything to do with Trump venting anger over his defeat, combined with his attempt to undermine the outcome. Trump was also suggesting that his Vice President had the legal authority to cast aside electoral college votes from states that their campaign had been contesting, which was a lie. The Constitution grants the Vice President no such authority. That rally did not have a damn thing to do with election integrity. It had to do with a man who can't admit that he lost.

Trump had nothing to do with Jan 6th. Adults took matters into their own hands. Just stop with shifting the blame.

 

[Grand Vol]

So you didn’t actually think those things were wrong, you were just mad the democrats thought of it first.

Very enlightening.

Politicians are going to politician, regardless of the letter behind their name.

Did you not think all those situations are wrong including the current one? Because that's very enlightening as well.

 

[happy-go_vol]

The constitution was barely mentioned at all. Joe dod not say it one time. You can say great country all you want but the POTUS not bringing up the constitution when discussing her speaks volumes. I've never seen that before but then again I never paid attention to the Obama nominees.

LG isn't a fan of the constitution, the left always claim to believe in God until its time to decide whether killing babies and sodomy Is right

 

[volgr]

Loother, I thought you were pro CRT.

Luther is whatever MSNBC tells him to be.

 

[happy-go_vol]

Judge Jackson wants to meld American Law along with the radical leftist CRT teachings ...
This person is a left-wing political activist judge who wants to change the Laws of America.

Judge Jackson Wants to 'Meld' American Law with CRT, Social Justice

It makes sense this judge, who wants to combine critical race theory with established law, would also favor "progressive education" that's rife with theories constituting "social justice".

Or course, you think that communist Biden is going to elect a judge that actually will follow the constitution?

 

[Wireless1]

I would bet all my $ that the large majority of people in favor of banning CRT in schools have not actually had it taught to their children.

You think someone in a video online saying "all whites are racist" means CRT's premise is that all whites are racist?

Like I already said, you are taking the most distasteful form of CRT and pretending that is what it is so you can ban the whole thing.

That's like saying there a just a couple of drops of arsenic in your oatmeal, just eat around it. So much of CRT is poison, and we can't expect children to know what's poison and what's not, and since in most district the details are not released to the parents they have justified paranoia.

 

[Wireless1]

Is there any evidence a man in his 80s was "forced" to resign from his job earlier than he wanted?

SInce he's 80, I'd say it'd take a lot less effort to "force" him from the job than if he was 60, so yes, the protests, and vicious call for his resignation from the left could have "forced" him out.

 

[AirVol]

Brown refused to define the word “woman”. She said she isn’t a biologist.

She’s disqualified to be on the court. Several cases will involve women.

Buried in googles search engine and quickly forgotten by people who have the memory of a two year old or Biden. This was just months before.




Progressives Want Justice Stephen Breyer To Retire. His Response? Not Yet

September 9, 20214:08 PM ET


U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has said he will retire on his own terms amid calls from progressives for him to step down from the court so President Biden can name a younger liberal to take his place.

"I'm only going to say that I'm not going to go beyond what I previously said on the subject, and that is that I do not believe I should stay on the Supreme Court, or want to stay on the Supreme Court, until I die," he told NPR's legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg in an interview in Boston to promote his book, The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics. "And when exactly I should retire, or will retire, has many complex parts to it. I think I'm aware of most of them, and I am, and will consider them."

Breyer's remarks, while not a surprise — he hired four clerks in July for the court's next term — are likely to anger progressive activists who believe that the 83-year-old justice should make way for a younger nominee who holds his — and their — values and views. They want him to step down while Democrats still narrowly control the Senate and before the 2022 midterms, when control of the chamber is at stake.

Opinion | Even by 2022 standards, this new Ginni Thomas scandal is bad

Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni, now admits that she did attend the January 6th "Stop the Steal" rally at The White House, but still maintains that she did not march down to the Capitol. She previously denied being there at all.

The optics of the wife of a Supreme Court Justice being such a high-profile, politically partisan activist aren't great... and if there was nothing wrong with attending that rally, then why did she lie about it?

Who cares if she went to a rally?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Were you outraged when Kavanaugh was accused of rape and being an alcoholic?

Or Barrett being accused of being a religious zealot?

Not even going to mention the Handmaid thing that went to whatever word is beyond absurd.

Nah, don't feel like outrage is needed.

That outrage only goes one way as usual

Did you just waive it away (again) and feign moral superiority in the exact same post?

That’s phenomenal.

Best of luck with that.
