The “ notorious RBG “ speaks;



Court packing through an act of Congress would be constitutional, as the Constitution does not mandate a specific number of Supreme Court justices. However, it would still undermine the stability of our republic while making the Supreme Court as partisan as could be, and it has historically been avoided for that reason.
If one party packs the court upon taking power, the opposing party could pack the court even more once it returns to power.
Democrats who support the practice are foolishly thinking about their short-term policy interests alone and suffering from tunnel vision.


Ginsburg further upset leftist radicals this week when she praised Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh as "decent and smart." Earlier in the month, she applauded Kavanaugh specifically because his staff is entirely female, and the Supreme Court now has more female law clerks than male law clerks for the first time in history.
There is a very important first on the Supreme Court this term, and it's thanks to our new justice, Justice Kavanaugh,"

Ginsburg's comments serve as a stark contrast to the absurd character assassination Kavanaugh faced from leftists last year.

Long may she live!
In case there were any here who doubted Red's stunning lack of intellectual honesty,.the italicized quote after the RBG speaks is not a quote from her even though it is deliberately designed to appear that way. It is a quote from an editorial in the right wing Washington Examiner.
LOL

LOL = "I have no defense against that accusation, because it is totally true.
What is the accusation?

"What is the accusation?" = "If I don't admit that my failure has been accurately called out, I can continue to pretend I am never wrong."

Trump said he found Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford's testimony 'compelling' and called her 'a very credible witness'
LOL! The only thing she remembered, when asked, was she only had one beer!
Like many victims of.sexual assault, a lot of details faded over the years. But one detail she never forgot: the face of the man who tried to rape.her. i suspect the reason this surprises you is purely political.

As opposed to the deaths of kids in concentration camps.

He also lies about the tax thing. I’ve been trying to tell you.

Red owes us money.

As he proves daily he is an easy mark. He shouldn’t be hard to shake down.

Yes.  Glad you asked. Maybe you are finally paying attention.

In case there were any here who doubted Red's stunning lack of intellectual honesty,.the italicized quote after "the notorious RBG speaks" is not a quote from her, even though it is deliberately designed to appear that way. It is a quote from an editorial in the right wing Washington Examiner.

He tried the same exact trick a few weeks ago.   I would say "lack of honesty," you don't need to qualify with "intellectual." 

Interesting that he sees Leftists only as either "absurd character assassins" or as the notably gracious Ms Ginsburg.
I think the word best  associated with the “ Notorious RBG  is “ honesty” which really pisses you off.

Well, that lie (regarding my state of mind) is pretty easy to factcheck.  A civil person would just ask, to find out my opinion of RBG.   Since honesty is a trait I prize highly, I can only admire RBG for hers.   She felt the newbie took a positive step in hiring more women for his staff, and I approve her gracious and welcoming words.   Is there an actual topic here?
