I'm not the scholar you are. She uses a lot of big words. Can't you help me out?
Ask Amy to help you.
Klobuchar? Why would I ask a "Constutional idiot" (U of Chicago Law, notwithstanding) when I could ask someone of your scholarship?
Because Amy raised the issue.

I voted, by mail.

I cannot believe Proposition 16, they want to repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964...

Um,  Prop 16 doesn't remove any protections against discrimination or the other things King marched for.   It just restores Affirmative Action and other programs that aid diversity and levels the playing field for disadvantaged persons.   It works against systemic racism and poverty,  Tony.  You need to read the full text of stuff you're voting on.
Prop 16 would codify systemic racism.  It is stillborn according to California polls .
With total common sense justification.

Would  a Constitutional scholar such as yourself deign to tell us ignoramuses what "superprecedent" actually is?
Ask Amy Klochubar.  It came from her question.
Actually your co-scholar Barrett has been using the term throughout the hearings and in her writings so I was hoping you could help us out.
well, then you already know the answer.

Best moments from the Amy Coney Barrett responses to stupid democrat questions about the Constitution:

Amy Klobuchar was ask­ing Judge Bar­rett about the hold of prece­dent, and iden­ti­fied Brown v. Board of Ed­u­ca­tion (1954) as “su­perpecedent” then asked if Roe v Wade is su­perprecedent?
Barrett’s response was a polite SAY WHAT?

 “I’m an­swer­ing a lot of ques­tions about Roe, which I think in­di­cates that Roe doesn’t fall into that cat­e­gory.”

Sen. Dick Durbin asked why Bar­rett ruled in a 2019 case that states can­not strip Sec­ond Amend­ment rights from felons who’ve com­pleted their sentences with­out proof that they are dangerous but main­tained that felons can be stripped of vot­ing rights.
Bar­rett calmly explained that these rights are found in dif­fer­ent parts of the Con­sti­tu­tion and that the vot­ing rules are left to the states.
Durban then quickly moved on.

Either the Senators are Constitutional idiots or their staffs are.

I was open to the possibility that ACB could be independent, but that reply (as Bo touched on earlier) lost me.  That's disturbing, that she would respond to such a simple question with such blather.  The rest of Milbank's column is worth a read, if you can surmount the PW.
LOL.
The question was simple alright.
Simply pointless.
As was almost all of the democrat questioning. Their real goal was to stage a campaign rally with as much Trump bashing as they could muster.
Sheldon Whitehouse’s 30 minutes of dark money conspiracy theories was a hoot.  Maybe John Grisham can run with it for his next novel.
There is a reason the Washington Post on -line subscription is mere $29 a YEAR.
Writers like Milbank are just parrots for the DNC.

Cory Booker tweeted:

I asked Amy Coney Barrett today if she believes every president should make a commitment to the peaceful transition of power.

She wouldn't answer my question.

That's profoundly concerning for a judge who aspires to join our nation's highest court.
Huh?

No evidence of substantive wrongdoing.

Or as Trump would describe it, total exoneration.

Clearly, President Biden (should we have one) should order an investigation of the politicization of the DoJ by Barr and Trump.
Huh?

5.6 million viewers tuned in to ABC to watch the Los Angeles Lakers top the Miami Heat to capture the NBA title Sunday night, the lowest-rated Finals series on record.


The number were  less than half of those who tuned in for a regular season "Sunday Night Football" match-up between the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks, which drew 11.4 million on NBC.


For context,
Game 6 last year between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors delivered 18.34 million viewers;
Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls drew 36.9 million in 1998 for their Game 6 victory over the Utah Jazz,
An ESPN documentary series that aired in May on Jordan's career in Chicago matched Lakers-Heat on Sunday night, averaging 5.6 million viewers across its eight parts.

The Ladt Dance was a pandemic lockdown phenom... like Tiger King

Every one of those previous playoff games were held in JUNE.

This is the time of year the NBA should just concluding training camp.
Yeah?
So?

Exactly!
LOL,

Biden's remark was a "spirit of the law, " not "letter of the law" take on the ACB push.

Silver lining of a more Originalist court might be that legislators take more care in crafting legislation that passes Constitutional muster.   If Originalists have integrity (and it's possible ACB might),  then they are a force towards shrinking the SCt, reducing its active role relative to Congress and state legislatures.  Whatever Barret's minuses,  I found her answers to be somewhat reassuring that she wouldn't turn into a religious activist justice.   But more questioning is needed,  in terms of what she did on the appellate bench.

Q: Does the Constitution give the President power to delay national elections?

A: Well... it depends on the... I’d have to consult with...

Nah. I don’t need to hear more.

Which is exactly the opposite of what she said .

"For context" did either of those NBA games conflict with NFL football?
Of course not.

11 mens pro golfers have tested positive for COVID-19 since June

Is this a smaller, greater or about the same percentage as the general population?

Has anyone asked Dustin Johnson where he thinks he got infected?  Why not?
FTR, pGA TV ratings going up while all the others are crashing.
