Former MSNBC host calls on Justice Sotomayor to step down from SCOTUS

The SC is chosen by a prez, who is supposed to have the will of the people.

Well, by a fluke of the Electoral College system, Trump got in without the will of the people (and by that I mean a majority) and so this SC does NOT reflect the will of the people. The framers feared majority rule, but the most certainly did not argue for minority rule. What they did was temper the excesses of majority rule, via a bicameral legislature, house of representatives, 2 senators per state, and an electoral college but they most certainly didn't want the EC and the vote to be in disaccord, as evidenced by the fact that it has only occured 5 times in history. By design, they clearly didn't want it. Nowhere in the fed papers does it argue for minority rule.

Moreover, during the era when men were considered honorable, they wouldn't have denied Obama his choice of SC appointment during his last year, and they would have at least given Garland a hearing.

No, this court is corrupt and appointed by a corrupt GOP, and make no mistake, Trump, the man who shaped this court, is the most corrupt president in history.

Harris is not qualified to be a Supreme Court justice, period. This is a conspiracy theory. She isn't going anywhere. I don't think the Democrats or the Biden administration see her as a problem.

What's your source for this wild conjecture?

 

You can respect something and still do the right thing.

 

You're entitled to your opinion. However, the SCOTUS is what it is and that's reality.

 

They said they would respect stare decisis, and there is only one interpretation, the expectation that they would uphold it, and they defied that expectation, which, in essence, means that they lied.

There is nothing 'right' about lying to congress in order to win a sit on the SC.

What that means is this court is corrupt, an especially so now that Thomas's finances have come to light.

We've got corrupt justices, among whom at least one, perhaps two, are perverts, and others are liars.

No wonder the court is held in low esteem, throughout the nation. The lowest in history, all thanks to Republicans.

Republicans have literally destroyed the court, who, in turn, are contributing to the decline of America.

 

Yeah, that SC is corrupt, IS, and that "IS" isn't good.

 

As I've said throughout this thread, there is no actual pinpoint 'source' for my conjecture or suggestion that in their desperation to do something about their Kamala problem, Democrats are sending up trial-balloons that can test the perceived feasibility of offloading her to the SCOTUS.

“Perception is reality.” -- Lee Atwater, American political consultant and strategist for the Republican Party

BUT, if the Biden regime doesn't see Kamala as a "problem" then take a look at the latest Los Angeles Times poll:
"As of April 3, 40% of registered voters had a favorable opinion of Harris and 55% had an unfavorable opinion — a net rating of -15 percentage points, according to a Times average." Link: https://www.latimes.com/projects/kamala-harris-approval-rating-polls-vs-biden-other-vps/

The USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll shows 52% of registered voters disapprove of her job performance as President Joe Biden's vice president. Moreover, about 36% approve of how she’s handling the role, trailing Biden's almost equally dismal 41% approval rating.

Anyone can pander to the public with government welfare, 'subsidy', and other giveaway programs. That's been the Democrat Party's 'stock-in-trade' for 90 years ever since FDR perfected the process in the 1930's! And what do we see 'Big Guy' Biden doing now? Roaming around the country announcing that he's going to cancel legitimate student debts to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars or more. If that isn't bald-faced pandering, then what is?!

 

I thought you said that they said they would uphold Roe V Wade? Upholding stare decisis is something else entirely. That's a judicial default. But that's not like saying that Dobbs can never be repealed (or Dred Scott).

 

So what's your solution?

 

So what's your solution?

 

What do you mean nothing specific......apparently you glossed over the Clarance Thomas comment

You also KNOW that the litmus test for every SC nominee from the right has been Roe V. Wade right ? Its not like they didn't tell us all out loud that that is wha they were doing ?

It will be fun in the next cycle when the repubs spend Billions on campaigns and the left just prints out posters and runs campaign adds that just say:

Sorry Ladies, You have no rights over your own body.
Signed : The Republican Party

Repubs finally caught the car, and ironically, their gunna get run over by it in November

 

I agree 100%. The problem is that the dems need to do the same things the right did, but they dont have the balls to do that. Thats why they loose so often. The repubs are playing chess, and the democrats are playing marbles, and worried about some fairness and equity, which is why they (in the words of Will McAvoy), "If liberals are so ****in' smart, how come they lose so ****** ALWAYS!"

You cant beat someone at their own game by plying by the rules. You think Trump plays by the rules ?

 

The Supreme Court didn't make abortion illegal. What's the problem?

 

Yes, President Trump played by the rules. He was President when three Supreme Court positions opened up. Don't you support democracy?

 

Oh FFS, they gave it to the states to allow them to do just that.

This has been the republicans wet dream for 50 years. They caught the car, and now their gunna get run over in the next election.

 

yep....oh wait, you mean the positions that Mitch McConnell refused to bring up in the Senate ?

Mitch held them until they had the presidency....

 

Thanks Joe!

WASHINGTON — As a senator more than two decades ago, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. argued that President George Bush should delay filling a Supreme Court vacancy, should one arise, until the presidential election was over, and that it was “essential” that the Senate refuse to confirm a nominee to the court until then.

Joe Biden Argued for Delaying Supreme Court Picks in 1992 - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

 

And he was wrong then........

 

Yes, it's finally a state issue, which it always should have been. Same-sex marriage is next. Marriage laws are state issues, always have been.

 

Wrong. Mitch held one. He wanted the next President to appoint the Justice. Hillary was favored to win. It had nothing to do with Trump.

 

When did a womans rights get moved to be "states rights" ?

 

All I claimed was that he held one. But to claim he did it for "the next president" is beyond ridiculous....

Ginsberg herself screwed the dems. I dont blame that on anyone but HER.

And I think Sotomayer may screw the dems in the very near future

 

There is no such thing as "women's rights" in the Constitution. Abortion rights aren't mentioned in the Constitution. Our nation is getting back on track. It's up to the states to determine their own laws on Abortion.

 

Sounds like a Democrat problem.
