Love that character. But remember, before Saul, there was this guy to show the way:

The only thing that makes any sense here is the description “totally stupid.”

Congratulations to Justice Jackson on her historic bipartisan confirmation as the first African American woman to sit on the Court. Now, let’s roll up the sleeves and get to work. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/senate-poised-confirm-ketanji-brown-jackson-supreme-court-rcna23283

In fairness, I suppose it’s theoretically possible for something to be both correct and gibberish. 🤣

Hey, no actual intellectual exercise allowed here. You’re only allowed to spout a bunch of slogans, catch-phrases, and other political-inspired gibberish. 😉

That will be a very difficult task as the Court is currently composed. Her votes are likely to be pretty similar to the Justice she replaced. So, all the “liberal” wing of the Court has done is exchange a pretty senior Justice for a rookie. Seniority means something on the Court.

You don’t have to be a lawyer — or particularly smart, for that matter — to see what’s going on here. In fairness, the Democrats were just as guilty during the confirmation hearings for Justices Kavanaugh and Barrett. But neither party is serving the interests of justice and good government with the disgraceful display of intellectual dishonesty and pandering that goes on during these hearings.

Congratulations.

Trickle down from college was inevitable. Your thoughts about Indiana facing the issue the way Ohio has?

Calling dogs “people” is not just crazy, it’s disrespectful… to dogs.

I thought this was an April Fool’s joke.

Isn’t he the guy who congratulated “Kansas City” on winning the championship last night, while handing Bill Self the trophy? 😂🤣😆

Seems that there are at least a few people willing to subordinate partisan politics to being faithful to the constitutional process. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/04/senate-vote-ketanji-brown-jackson/ Jackson on course for confirmation, with 2 more GOP senators in favor The Supreme Court nominee is now poised to win final approval by the end of the week By Mike DeBonis and Seung Min Kim The Senate put Ketanji Brown Jackson on a clear track to be confirmed later this week as the Supreme Court’s 116th justice — and its first Black woman — after three Republicans joined Democrats to advance her nomination in a Monday vote. Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Mitt Romney of Utah become the second and third Republicans to announce support for Jackson, joining Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who publicly backed the judge last month. All 50 members of the Democratic caucus also backed Jackson in a 53-to-47 procedural vote Monday evening, but the late-breaking support of the two GOP senators represented a minor triumph for President Biden and congressional Democrats who were eager to put a bipartisan stamp of approval on a nominee whom many Republicans had eagerly painted as a soft-on-crime leftist radical. In a statement, Murkowski praised Jackson’s qualifications and temperament, as well as her “demonstrated judicial independence” and “the important perspective she would bring to the court” as a former Supreme Court law clerk, federal public defender, trial judge and now appeals court judge.

“Never” is a pretty broad statement.

And if robots do the job more efficiently, and cost savings are passed on to the consumers, don’t we all benefit?

Still trying to make up your mind, or just being coy?

I’m curious where you stand on a school corporation restricting students” food choices to “healthy” options. That seems sort of “woke” to me, so I assumed initially you’d be against it. But then I remembered your posts on the transfer portal issue, and how we had to restrict transfers to prevent the student-athletes from making “mistakes.” I’m on pins and needles waiting for you to pick a side.

I find myself agreeing with you on all counts. Be back soon. I’m going to lie down until the feeling passes. 🤪

Now that we’ve had a week to digest this bizarre event, I’d like to know how the GIDers feel about what happened. People everywhere expressing shock and outrage. Also, I’m sure there are some people who will see some sort of conspiracy here — they see them everywhere — and believe it was staged as a publicity stunt. Love to hear everyone’s take on it …. But first you have to hear mine. I know that if my wife had gone through what Jada has and then had to sit there and hear some guy make fun of that in front of millions of people, I would not take that sitting down. I’d like to think I could wait until we all got backstage, but maybe not. The thing is, it’s like civil disobedience: there’s a principle worth defending, but there is a cost you have to be prepared to pay. Will Smith stood up for his wife like a man. Then apologized like a man, and is prepared to take his punishment like a man. I admire him. And to all my friends who were shocked and horrified at this outrage in the 21st century, I am well aware of the legal definition of battery. I did learn something in law school and 45 yrs. of practicing law. But sometimes we can be just a little too civilized for our own good.

Does anyone see the NCAA ever going back to the “sit out a year” rule? Pretty hard to get the lid closed on Pandora’s Box.

I find it ironic that you guys support taking away free transferability because it allows kids to make bad choices about their future, and they need to be protected from that. “It’s for their own good.” What about the choice they made as to what scholarship to accept? Don’t they need to be protected from the consequences of a bad decision, made for the wrong reasons, there? Doesn’t transferability do that? You know there is a word for the taking away of individual decision-making by a dictatorial central authority: fascism.

Again, I agree. But what you or I believe is the right choice for a kid to make is completely irrelevant.

I happen to agree with you. I just don’t believe in imposing my beliefs on others, taking away choices they have every right to make, even if you think they’re wrong.

Bernie who?

Maybe the funniest thing I’ve read on the GID this year.
