    Lovers of the constitution discover an election year loophole.

    It has been over 80 years! Surely that just can't be a coincidence of when people died or retired. It must be something intentional and practically constitutional despite having happened in our nations history!

    Anthony McLeod Kennedy is the 104th associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was nominated by Republican President Ronald Reagan on November 12, 1987, and confirmed by the United States Senate on February 17, 1988.

    80 years indeed

    Trump saying we should abandon the Syrian rebels and let the government retake the country with Russia's assistance

    It's interesting how his view on Syria is not only diametrically opposed to those of the other Republicans, but even much of the Democratic party

    The 80 year thing was a talking point that went out, at least 4 GOPers have already used it

    I think their pleasure centers are stimulated each time the applaud. So they're just doing it whenever.

    Rubio essentially says Sunni-Shia conflict is caused by the Shia, continuing his efforts to get the salafi-jihadist vote

    Rubio may do well without a Christie on stage to call him out on rote answers.

    Honestly, I prefer Trump's comments about Syria to Clinton's...

    Why does the 80 years thing even matter to them? It wasn't avoided for any reason other than when the justice died or retired.

  • notdroidnotdroid Registered User regular

    Fyi, I've check the stats, and Carson gets plenty of airtime.

    But keep whining, you baby. It's doing you a whole lotta good in the polls.

    I saw the Michael Jackson Off The Wall documentary last night.

    And now all I can think of is the song Ben when Carson speaks.

    Because for Republicans time is often legal precedent. See "marriage has been this way for thousands of years !"

    Kasich:

    -Arm Ukraine
    -Uphold NATO obligations

    Okay, I don't agree with sending weapons to Ukraine, but that's at least a relatively moderate position on relations with Russia

  • notdroidnotdroid Registered User regular
    Wait, is Kasich really talking about respecting the rights of women?

    Ugh, this CBS livestream;
    Tweets, trending google searches, and a live poll.

    Edit: Also, I know it's nothing new, but live audiences at political debates continue to be a stupid thing to have.

    Jeb talking shit about the sequester?

    Maybe then your party shouldn't have been entirely unable to vote for paying the bills they racked up then.

    I'm getting huge nostalgia moments from his brother.
