Court packing literally renders a branch of government moot and that is far more consequential than just about any of the other worry.

This isn't an official guess but do you know if Anne Hathaway is Jewish?

Also Springsteen

I'm not sure why that seemed so easy to me when most of them don't. I almost didn't answer because it seemed to easy to be true.

It's bad enough at PPP already without you stirring up the whole Flutie vs. Johnson thing again.

The left's definition of fair share has always been easily defined with one word: More

Springsteen?

That's not Lynda Carter is it?

If there was any conflict it would be undue influence of the exec on the legis. She had no ability to impact her own confirmation nor did Trump. It was in the hands of the Senate.

In what loony world? Trump stated his opinion. The Senate confirmed her.....not Trump. She most certainly did not confirm herself. Any appearance of impropriety would be based on SC judges "owing" something to those who nominated and confirmed them. What would be the expiration date on that? Would Sotomayor have to recuse because she knows what Obama thinks about a case?

Huh?

The brief also points out that the judicial rules governing lower federal court judges require recusal based on how his or her “participation in a given case looks to the average person on the street.” The standard is whether participation in a case might cause a reasonable person with knowledge of the circumstances to “harbor doubts about the judge’s impartiality.” That is certainly the case here. How did Trump rush the confirmation process? Also I have Josh Allen on my fantasy football team. Can you explain why he didn't get credit for the 6 field goals last week? I should have won my game but I lost.

On what basis should she recuse herself?

I was going to request more specifics in a PM but since you've made this general, I thought this might be a better place. Can you link to or quote the portion of the TOS that addresses "FIFY" type posts? My two cents on this currently is that it seems very hypersensitive, almost pathetic. Scratch the almost. This board just went through a long thread about how some things were handled. A large part of the thread was a discussion of the crap the board owner has to deal with. Fast forward to this thread and you're warning everyone not to subject you to lame jokes that literally hundreds of posters have encountered for years. Unlike you, they knew how to deal with. Further, your claims of potential harm caused by this childish yet common type of post are incredibly easy to refute as well as simply remedied. I think it is an intersting choice on your part to create a thread based in hypersensitivity and propose a remedy which is sensitive in no way whatsoever to the site owner who has clearly explained what a pain in the neck complaints like those threatened cause. On a secondary note I'm curious as to why you're so upset about people altering your words but not the words of others. I wouldn't expect you to go searching for incidents, but if you happen across a misquote of someone else, why not issue warnings and complaints about those too? I'm looking forward to the specific wording in the TOS that we need to avoid. Thanks in advance.

Update: I received my warning PM from SoTear. It was precisely as pathetic and sad as his OP made it sound. Further updates to follow.

Is there a more smug prick on the planet than Cody Bellinger?

TOS lol. If that particular part of the TOS were enforced most people would be gone from all of these boards. But by all means SoTear and the boys can whine for selective enforcement.

Agreed. More childish yet is reporting someone who does it to moderators. Mommy! Billy called me a poopy head.

This is a hoax. I have GvG and know for a fact that the big guy does not give predictions or tell the future.

It has no data on whether control of the moon would mean control of the Earth. It has, however, proven there are no intelligent communicative aliens on the moon. Why would the moon be different than the rest of the universe?

By 2048 if there are enough Senate/WH flips, all 330 million of us will be SC justices. Whoop de do. Packing off the Supreme Court makes it permanently subservient to the other two branches by definition.

I agree that FIFY is lame, dumb and overused. How whiny would someone have to be to not only cry about it but to start a thread crying about it and threaten to turn people in to the mods? It's so fragile it makes Marquise Goodwin's tenure with the Bills look like Cal Ripken's tenure with the Orioles. SoTear should dry his eyes, roll his eyes and move on.

It happens in every corner of this place. Main board, OTW, PPP, everywhere. It has probably happened to 90% of the people on all of those boards. It happens in a joking manner, as a way of making a counter argument, albeit often lame, and lots of other ways. A lot of people do it from all political persuasions and football opinions. I've probably done it, but not a lot as I find it pretty goofy so on that I agree with the OP. I'm not sensitive enough about my opinions to be afraid of any particular type of counter argument. The OP is apparently hypersensitive. The premise that anyone would read a post that says FIFY and assume the quote above hadn't been altered defies logic. If there is an issue or complaint to be had it would be with the software that allows quotes to be altered. It is board wide. To take that personally and threaten people with complaints to moderators is silly and sad. How fragile does one have to be? I'm telling mommy. Nanny nanny woo woo. For the record I haven't received my PM warning yet. I wonder if he went straight to the mods breaking his own iron clad rule.

Still no updates in all of hose petabytes of data?

Perhaps you haven't wandered into the UFO thread? If you're on a loon hunt that's a great place.
