when i was in HS I had a rebel flag in the back window of my truck. Now I realize how silly I was as I lived in the north and had no connection with the south. Also in HS I wore a purple silk shirt and a white vest to a school dance - also very silly.
It's high school for gods sake.
AND you also discriminate based on age, judging from your thread in the work and employment forum. Your boss needs to hand you a pink slip immediately.
The government reaches back to high school when deciding whether or not to issue a security clearance. A permanent appointment to the highest court in the land should come with at least as much scrutiny.
Keep on digging that hole deeper - because it's entertaining as hell. But let me ask this. Do you know what satire is?
I have no doubt that if confirmed, Judge Gorsuch would help to restore confidence in the rule of law. His years on the bench reveal a commitment to judicial independence — a record that should give the American people confidence that he will not compromise principle to favor the president who appointed him. Judge Gorsuch’s record suggests that he would follow in the tradition of Justice Elena Kagan, who voted against President Obama when she felt a part of the Affordable Care Act went too far. In particular, he has written opinions vigorously defending the paramount duty of the courts to say what the law is, without deferring to the executive branch’s interpretations of federal statutes, including our immigration laws.
Also not objecting to Gorsuch's confirmation: Former Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Ken Salazar, who became Obama's secretary of the Interior Department, praised Gorsuch when he introduced him to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I guess the dems didn't care about that ammo when they approved him for the 10th Circuit Court. Here's some names of Democratic Senators who voted to confirm Gorsuch back in 2006, you might recognize some of those names, like Obama, Clinton, Biden, Kerry, Schumer, Feinstein, etc.
It's not the same. A circuit court has a check on it. Bad decisions can be reversed. The SCOTUS does not. A fascist judge in the 10th would not be that big a deal. But in the Supreme Court? And like everything else in life, simply because one is qualified for a less responsible position does not mean one can handle the top job - witness Trump himself.
If selling a couple dime bags can disqualify one from delivering UPS packages, surely a history of fascism should disqualify one from a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land. It's too big of a risk with the actual future of our nation at stake.

You are really serious about this dumbass stuff, aren't you?

Yeah it's rhetoric like this that makes it difficult to take some of the more aggressively worded attacks against Trump seriously.

For the record, are you also joining gladhands and declaring this "news" to be something to seriously consider? PLEASE answer.
