Speaking of conservatives. Next week I get an hour q and a with Condi Rice. Well my class of 13 people do. And pictures and basically a open forum in intimate setting. Its fucking awesome.
I might not agree with her choices, but the women is brilliant. Also a an alum of my grad school.
Listening to this NPR special coverage of the ACA argument, and I am smiling now. I was worried when I left the office, but this is making me happy.
They do not like the government's chances right now.
I just... I don't get how someone can be such a fucking misanthrope.
Like, really, how can you hate people that much?
I really don't have anything to say about this that I haven't already said. You're dedicated to hatred regardless of the positions I've taken, so I really don't know where to go from here.
We're talking about policy that actually affects people's lives, here. Like, this is a law that is tremendously helpful to a whole shit-ton of people, from young adults to children to people with chronic, existing ailments... And you're hoping that it dies. A ritual sacrifice on an altar to some bigoted assholes who died two hundred years ago.
It's really pretty appalling to see. Especially from someone who claims to be religious.
I am opposing the individual mandate, yes. Frankly, I'm super tired of you harping on my faith, questioning my commitment to it or my ability to understand and adhere to it, and otherwise using it as a lever to try and prove hypocrisy when your understanding of it is, let's say, extremely minimal.
@Honk, if you read the bolded you'll see why I reacted so strongly to your comment earlier. It is, sadly, a very common hobby horse leftwing extremists like to ride around on.
Yeah, Honk; can you imagine what a crazy person you would have to be to think that we, today, might know more about good government than a bunch of old white dudes 200 years ago who thought that the only people who should be able to vote are white landowners and that negroes are only 60% of a person?
What in the world could extremists like that be thinking?

I should have said "host and hostess clubs" i guess. i was channel surfing and there's a show talking about weird stuff in japan, i guess. it's weird and interesting.
Roberts may jump on with the 5 majority to try to gain some control over the opinion
I read the transcripts of the arguments, as usual Scalia was mostly concerned with interjecting jokes than getting answers, since he's already made up his mind
also jesus the first day of argument about the anti injunction act was mind blowingly boring
Has Thomas spoken yet?
He rarely speaks or has questions about any case, let alone landmark ones. He is easily the "least scholarly" (this is code for "dumbest") justice the court has seen in almost 100 years.
My hatred for him alone could fill a beautiful valley situated beneath a stylish multi-million dollar home.
He has never spoken in oral arguments, and I think he's underrated because of that.
Give some examples of his writings that you think are underrated.
I can think of one case where his opinion mattered, and that's Virginia v. Black, probably not a case you agree with him on.
@Thanatos it'll be a bit, I'm going to need to go dig up a case or two. I don't actually know Virginia vs. Black off the top of my head! What I meant, though, was that people tend to judge someone unfavorably if they don't articulate a position out loud, and that leads people to view Thomas in a less favorable light than they would if he spoke his mind. It's not uncommon for people to assume someone is ignorant because he doesn't speak up. I've listened to Thomas speak and do Q&A and he didn't strike me as ignorant or unscholarly at all.

Q tha hell outta that A.
I am. I am building up a set of questions on Iraq and Iran. I want to know her thoughts on the Assad regime and if the peace talks are real. Her thoughts on the Arab Spring. WHY THE FUCK THEY PUT BRENNER IN CHARGE OF IRAQ!
Also are the reported infighting during the Bush administration between the neo-cons and the international realist were as vicious as I have read.

Speaking as a liberal Democrat who disagrees with spool on virtually everything political, including this issue, Thanatos is being a goose. Direct insults, hyperbole, and vitriol are really not conducive to anything except feeling superior (erroneously).

Man, I would hate to be the lawyer being grilled by the Supreme Court. It would be so stressful. I would stutter like mad.
I would love it.
I would probably actually love it, but still would shake like hell. Glad I am not going into law. Instead I am going studying health policy and a regional relations. Much less stressful.
Well unless you realize that developing health policy can kill or save thousands and even millions of people.

You can always count on Thanatos to hit the leftwing extremist high notes.

Even so, I'm watching you.
Also listening to the actual arguments right now. Scalia is a dick.
so you could probably write them down a bunch
Yeah, but this way the animal rights activists won't bitch quite so loudly.
he's in a movie coming out soon where he's a soldier I believe
