While this is true, I want the bench to unruly legislation from the bench. Just like Roe v. Wade being overturned. Unscrew the things they screwed.


You mean overturn Wickard v. Filburn?

We can only dream

Quite an accomplishment for a justice to be hated by both political parties.


Not really. Ideologues don’t care about process and structure. A “good” justice, in their estimation, is one who decides cases based on what they want to happen.

Most people are ideologues.
100%

The result of the birthright citizenship opinion and mail-in ballot opinion are terrible for the country but probably correct interpretations of law.

The law is the problem and Congress has completely failed in addessing these issues.

Why not use the word "must" instead of "can"?


Because the case deals with authority of the federal government under Title IX - not a statement on the biological impossibility of transgenderism.

But damn, it seems like half our Republican judges swing left after being appointed to SCOTUS.


Or maybe they just properly interpret Constitutional authority instead of making a decision based on political/policy preference

You nut jobs are turning the “Marxist” label into the new “racist”. Anything I don’t like is “Marxist”.

I'm not giving my vote to Letlow in the midterms. Trump is a moron for endorsing her.


Not a single prominent Louisiana republican endorsed Fleming. Not a single one. What does that tell you?

Tired of milqetoast Republicans who won't do anything to protect American culture.


Fleming accomplished nothing in his time in Congress. He’s got good, conservative stances but he’s shown a complete inability to effect any substantive change.

On the other hand, Letlow - in a shorter amount of time - secured much more federal funding for Louisiana through her work with the Appropriations Committee.

This is one of the issues you can’t blame on Islam.

England has had a longstanding lean to soft authoritarianism for centuries. Following WWII, when the rest of the West was speeding towards liberty, the Labour Party was rapidly expanding the size and power of government.

quote:

The willingness of people to go to the polls and vote more taxes upon themselves even when given a direct choice has always baffled me.


I always vote no on millages but for the first time ever BREC is showing signs of competence. The old BREC board was completely removed last year and replaced by the mayors of the five metro areas of EBR. There has been more positive change with BREC in the last 12 months than there was in the previous 12 years and it looks like they actually hired a competent superintendent. I’m willing to give them a shot.

Fleming secured Global Strike Command to Barksdale during his tenure.


That’s is such a grossly inaccurate assessment of what happened. He support it - as did all Louisiana Congressmen - but most the wheels on that decision were in motion prior to him taking office. The DoD and Air Force command were already moving in that direction before he became a junior rep.
quote:

I think people should be hired on merit not based on their race or sex. Recruiting based on race and sex is illegal and discriminatory. It’s exactly what DEI seeks to do.


Most reasonable people understand that there is a significant difference between seeking out qualified applicants and hiring unqualified applicants to meet a quota.

I don’t support either but someone engaging
In the former in 2020 while working under the LSU system that pushed both the former and the latter doesn’t really move the needle for me.

Especially when Fleming most significant achievement in his tenure in Congress was getting Duck Stamps raised by $10.

Even the Republicans in Congress didn’t support Flemings proposals.
quote:

It’s not a “nonsensical talking point.” It’s a fact. Julia Letlow is on video pushing for DEI at her college. You apparently support this since you proudly voted for her.


So for the record, you think recruiting efforts is the same thing as systemically lowering standards for women and minorities (that Cassidy supported).

I also noticed you were silent on Fleming being a completely worthless member of the House..
quote:

I don’t. I voted for John Fleming.


You support his propaganda. He is the one the started this nonsensical talking point. When applying for President of ULM, Letlow supported recruiting efforts to increase female and minority leadership roles but it was not a policy of lowering standards to achieve that end. Think of it what you will but that is not political DEI

On the other hand, Cassidy was actually voting in support of political DEI initiatives (actually lowering standards).


quote:

Just curious why you decided to vote for a candidate who pushed DEI policies. I think DEI is unconstitutional and racist and I think it puts incompetent people into positions and jobs they are not capable of performing.


Fleming was a completely ineffective member of the House. Espousing talking points to the masses is great and all but when you’re entire tenure results in only one piece of minor legislation, you are nothing more than a political blowhard with no ability to effect change.
quote:

Why do you support DEI?


Why do you support Bill Cassidy?

It’s a very important precedent. Allowing the state to undermine the outcome of a legitimate local election is absolutely worthy of review.

Nah, this is an existing rule. So you told me i'm incorrect but i don't believe i am. Is this only applicable to varsity roster kids? Is it applicable to underclassmen kids? etc etc.


You are citing the wrong rule. The limit on coaches and players for independent teams that you cited is for teams during the school year.

Summer rules are a different animal and governed by 4.5.2. Coaches are allowed to coach all their players on same team during the Summer months.

To be fair, the Obama administration’s “Friends of Syria” movement kind of led to a rapid destabilizing of the country.

Same thing as Ukraine.
