Voltaire 5,522 Posted May 4, 2023 Well this is troubling. The media held a massive witch hunt and beat up Clarence Thomas for going on trips with a friend who never had cases pending before the court. And they had a legitimate point IMO; he should have reported those trips. This situation is exponentially worse because Potatomayor was making rulings on the same company providing her with a major source of income. Further, she had the example set by Breyer who did recuse himself despite earning significantly less income. But of course the media hates Justice Thomas. We'll see how the media treats their new favorite justice now that RBG is a corpse. I expect silence and a massive double standard ... but we'll see. Maybe they'll surprise us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegeneral 3,699 Posted May 4, 2023 Didn’t read the story. Not sure if she’s up to no good but it was expected once Clarence was getting put through the shet. Go after the liberal justice. Like clockwork. Anyways…these jobs shouldn’t be lifetime appointments. Let’s say 20 years. There should be no more than 2 appointments per 4 years. Let’s start there.

And they had a legitimate point IMO; he should have reported those trips.... What's interesting is when Thomas and the rest of the Conservative Catholic SCOTUS Justices were being targeted by protesters in front of their homes, and then one psychopath had a gun and was looking for SCOTUS Kavanaugh, Sotomayor spoke up in defense of Thomas. This is where it gets pretty complicated. Clearly the only way to change the composition of the current Court is to force someone to retire or to have them assassinated. There is no doubt in my mind, that the DNC and radical left keep using the activist MSM to stoke the flames in the hopes that they trigger some lunatic to eliminate a Conservative Justice. So Sotomayor was not just speaking in defense of Thomas, because in an indirect way, she was also speaking in defense of herself. If Conservatives on SCOTUS start getting picked off, what is to stop fringe ring wing radicals from doing the same to the liberal leaning Justices? I don't have a problem with Sotomayor in general. The big problem on the Court is Elena Kagan. Never served as a judge. Worked for the Clinton Administration and is widely seen as a free vote for whatever Hillary Clinton wants. Laces all her opinions with pure activism. Part of the issue is there is no formal "Code Of Conduct" for SCOTUS. Because in order to make one, Congress would have to do it. Thus this would breach basic Separation Of Powers and Checks And Balances issues. I'm not sure there is a fix for this. Powerful people socialize and do business with other powerful people. This is a Court where there is nowhere else to turn. Every other court can kick a case around into other courts or up and down the legal food chain. In terms of the 2024 election, here's the thing that matters the most regarding SCOTUS - There are roughly 15-20 million Pro Life Democrats in America. Nancy Pelosi has had to give functional quid pro quo to that voting block to appease them to keep Henry Cuellars in office ( HOR-D who is the only open Pro Life Democrat in Congress right now) By over turning Roe Vs Wade, in effect, that could be enough votes to swing the 2024 general election. A lot of Pro Life Democrats are single issue voters. Whatever people think of Trump, he delivered a win for Pro Life that no one else could achieve in 50 years. Many White Evangelical voters will lean his way just because of that. I've read a decent number of Sotomayor opinions from various cases. I don't consider her a great legal mind, but I would not classify her in the same realm of open zealotry as Kagan or Brown Jackson, both of whom, IMHO, are unfit to serve on SCOTUS.

She did demonstrate class in that situation, I agree, My opinion of her as a person should softened some, I just forgot, still stuck with the nickname, should back off and call her Sotomayor.

No matter, we'll see if she gets even a fraction of the treatment that Thomas got for doing much worse. Yes, I totally agree that there is a brutal and open double standard against Conservatives. If Amy Coney Barrett had done what Sotomayor had done here, this would be a media firestorm. Something that Saagar Enjeti of Breaking Points has pointed out is that the radical left will defend criminals as long as the victims are people they hate. Then they will defend certain perceived victims based on the total narrative potential to punish certain people they want seen as the "villains'", whether it's real or not. My friend, the only answer I can come up with is that if you are a current Conservative or Republican in modern society, or you are a moderate, independent or undecided who has chosen to carry some Conservative minded values and speak about them in the open, then you have no margin of error. Look at Nikki Haley. The left and activist MSM goes after everyone for anything possible. And they've got literally nothing on her. If there was anything to go after, it would have been exposed by now. Her family too is relatively scandal free, there is no Hunter Biden nor Jared Kushner in their ranks. She's also a minority woman who made good coming from a first generation immigrant family here in America. Her husband is a rank and file career military man. Not a high level general or top level power player in the service, but basically a pretty average soldier. She's also a mother of her own children ( Kamala Harris can't say that, she's raising someone else's kids, who are white, which to many black women voters, will be a big deal) Which is why I wished the entire GOP and entire Conservative / Republican base would support Haley for the nomination. There is no way she'd lose to anyone that the DNC put up in a general election. Yes, she's boring and she lacks any real charisma, but boring sounds pretty good now after Obama and his total BS, Trump and his exhausting trolling ways and then the disaster zone that is what's left of Joe Biden tottering around. Because if Haley got the nomination, since she can't be "cancelled" it would only make it very clear to everyone that the radical left and establishment Democrats just plain hate Conservatives. For no other reason than we are Conservatives. And they want to hunt down our children and want to see us all dead. Then finally the truth would be plain as day. Team Blue will always likely control most of the activist MSM, Hollywood, Big Education, Big Social Media, Big Tech, Big Finance and have major in roads to Big Sports. The best thing we can do is what is happening with Bud Light. Just demonetize everyone. Which shows how gutless the radical left really are - Once you start taking your money and walking, then they start crying and back off. Which only proves they aren't real ideologues, they are fake wannabe zealots who don't truly see that they are burning this country to the ground. I want what you want, which is a balanced level of give and take in the media. But the only way that happens is if we Conservatives pull our money out of every place looking to hurt us and our children. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Horseshoe 348 Posted May 4, 2023 5 minutes ago, Mike Hunt said: I amazes me that people still think one party is different from the other. They are both filthy and always have been. Ignoratio Elenchi Also called Irrelevant Conclusion, the ignoratio elenchi fallacy reaches a relevant conclusion but misses the point. Though the claims and conclusion may be logically valid, they do not address the point in question. https://www.logicalfallacies.org/ignoratio-elenchi.html ************* Both political parties are full of grifters, narcissists and just plain idiots. Corrupt and in service of their corporate overlord donors. However, despite the fact that there are many elected Republicans I don't like and don't respect and I don't agree with a lot of things the GOP does, at least they want, right now: - Basic civil order in the streets. They aren't in line with enabling criminals and lawlessness - To protect children from being sexualized and indoctrinated in schools and elsewhere else - To expose the propaganda based MSM, which is simply are paid shills for activism - To have strong borders, to cease the uncontrolled flow of illegal immigrants that are flooding the Southern Border - To be energy "independent" and to continue to use fossil fuels and attempt a practical level transition into cleaner energy sources, instead of literally cornering Americans into buying an EV that the grid and infrastructure can't support - To stop the endless identity politics The GOP is no friend to the working class either. But they aren't invested in seeing America burn to the ground. The radical left just want to see this country burn ( look at the rioting and looting of 2020) and they want to hunt down our children and see all Conservatives dead. So yes, in that regard, there is a difference. The GOP is corrupt, but not completely insane. Look at the polling numbers of RFK Jr and Marianne Williamson. Right now combined, they are hitting the 30 percent mark in approval ratings. What it tells you is that traditional liberals in the vein of Bill Maher have also had enough of this total BS. Your logical fallacy bombing here doesn't change the core issues at play. People want to walk the streets and feel safe. They want to go to the gas pump and grocery store and not feel like they can't afford food or transportation anymore. They don't want to spend sleepless nights worrying about what the local public school might be trying to do to their kids. They don't want to turn on the TV or look on the internet and be force fed lies that is far different than the reality that they are seeing with their own two eyes. This is pretty basic stuff here. And if the radical left achieves their goal to wipe out all Conservatives and Republicans first, then what do you think happens to you and your children next? Do you think you'll be spared? What makes you so special, so unique, so valuable to them, so thoughtful and important that you won't be lined up against a wall next? When your kids are being shipped off to be "reeducated" and you are being dragged into a ditch, then maybe you can find the resilience to finally speak up. But then you'll finally learn what most people being purged learn - Speaking up too late has about the same value as not speaking up at all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I say stuff all the time on the internet just to trigger the leftists because I find it funny. Doesn't mean I actually mean it. For example, I'll tell every liberal I know that Trump should have his head on Mt. Rushmore and that "he's a beacon of light for our future". In reality, the guy is a total azzhat and I'm fine if I never hear from him again. What most Republican's are seeing and saying is the vast amounts of disparity that our "unbias media" seems to have. I'm personally at the point where, regardless of the outlet, any criticism of a Republican falls on deaf ears to me. My instant response is, 'yeah, that's probably a lie or at the very least, a vast exaggeration'. To your second point, like I said above that you disagreed with, I'm willing to bet that they're all corrupt. Also, let's not pretend that Biden is any better and undeniably more corrupt than Trump, yet crickets from the left and even praise. Let's not have any assertions that only 1 side is guilty of what you're saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
