Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Ouch! Cliff notes?

Some say yes, some say no, popular opinion (at least at the time of writing in 2003) is no, long standing SCOTUS precedent leans yes.  That's what I got from scanning it quickly.

CMIIW but thats for people present in the u.s. and dealing with the legal system, why does some guy on the other side of the world have the rights of the constitution? who were even the interested parties that could sue on behalf of him? what right does he have to  sue in the american court system?

Sad as it seems we are getting decisions based on politics from SCOTUS.
I just found a new supply of forks!

...but I love when the decisions are 6-3 or better. Even when I disagree I realize I must be wrong. 5-4 along party lines gives me no confidence in the decision.

You should be concerned with the big picture and leave politics out of it.

This is the big picture. I hate trump personally but his conservative agenda is great.

I agree with a lot of his policies also. The issue is when SCOTUS base their decisions along political lines. That is bad for all of us. It might not look like it now but history has taught us you will be on the other end of the stick shortly.

Based on a read of their opinions My feeling is that the issue is greater on one side of the court than the other.

Let me take a wild guess. You feel the liberal judges vote more along political lines?

Is it really possible to have ppl above politics?
Moshe (Mosses) was looking for one back in the time of Yisro and he didn't find.

Yes.

Have you ever served on a jury? I would hope their decision is not based on politics. These decisions by SCOTUS most of the time are way more important.

Mostly, but some of the conservative ones too and some some liberal are worse than others. They say it very clearly in their opinions when they use reasoning similar to "unamerican"and other subjective reasoning. The conservative constitutional ideology is much more rigid in the actual language while the liberal ones are much more based on wishy washy subjective reasoning. This is apparent in the broader decisions as well.

Think I am going to wait until Friday to ask you more questions. For some reason you have been using logic (slightly biased) to answer questions the last couple of days.

Of course biased. I am not exempt from cognitive biases. Maybe the difference is in you?
