Doc Brown Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 8 hours ago, Koko78 said: The Senate's role is to 'advise and consent'. The procedure for "advise and consent" is up to the Senate to decide. The Senate was never required to consent to the nominee. The Senate was never required to hold a vote, committee meeting, or do anything other than receive the document appointing Garland, which they did. McConnell's act in invoking the 'Biden Rule' was not unconstitutional. Breaking Senate "precedent" is not an unconstitutional act, no matter how hard you cross your fingers and wish it to be. Don't whine because the Democrats were, once again, hoist by their own petard. I think it's a stretch to say that something Biden said as a hypothetical set a precedent. Saying something and following through on something are two different things. Creating the phrase the "Biden rule" was clever by McConnell (they would've found something else in the past to justify not holding a vote regardless) and people don't give him enough credit in helping elect Trump by keeping that Supreme Court seat open.

Well I was going to wager my life savings on that. But he’ll probably write it himself on a cocktail napkin. “I leave my Hot Wheels to my nephew” But even if he’s does as you say he’ll still need a lawyer to probate his “estate”. Bur his one of those dumb people that thinks all you need a lawyer for is if you get in trouble with the law.

This is a forum that constantly goes back to what-if wide-right hadn't happened, who was the best XYZ-player in the Bills history, and what if we had drafted THIS GUY instead of THAT GUY in 1974. They don't know how to stop rehashing woulda, coulda, shouldas. Horses avoid this forum for their own health and skin.

I'm trying to provide you factual information, to cure your willful ignorance, you racist turd. 300 lawyers who don't understand the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Senate's rights are simply 400 lawyers who are wrong. This, more than your bigotry, is why you should have your teaching license revoked. You not only make arguments to authority, you make badly stupid ones.

Doc Brown Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 7 hours ago, Foxx said: are you saying that the populace prefers conservative jurists? No, because more of the country leans left than right. What it did do was give conservatives rationale for holding their nose and pulling the lever for Trump. There was more motivation on the right because replacing Scalia with a liberal judge was a frightening proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I ever did need one, the kind of person that I'm "Glad you aren't my lawyer" in the best of times are probably the kind of person you need in the worst Ah-i needed a lawyer one time about 20 years ago for an allegation by a former employee. It was a baseless claim, brought by an unscrupulous individual who was no longer an employ because, well, she lacked ethical clarity in her life. Ultimately, i prevailed but it cost me quite a bit of money when I had very little to spare. Very stressful as well. Yeah, give me the attorney who is state of the art current every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure! They voted for Neil Gorsuch. That was both unconstitutional (as Hillary won the popular vote and should be president), and treason because she wasn't supposed to lose. McConnell should feel badly about himself and consider suicide by double-tap during a failed mugging where nothing was taken. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
