| LordoftheMorons 09/11/18 2:44:08 PM #44 | The judicial branch is less political than the other branches (conceding that its a low bar). Even on the Supreme Court (which pretty much only takes the hard cases) every pair of justices voted the same way over 50% of the time last year. --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 09/11/18 1:35:26 PM #33 | Dancedreamer posted... As for judicial, I'd say that Supreme Court seats should NOT be for life. Instead, each justice should get a 10 year term. After that, they can't be a supreme court justice anymore. Life terms do a lot to prevent Justices from being beholden to anyone else (whether voters for a future office, or one of the parties in a case who could potentially offer them a lucrative job). Also with 10 year terms you'd often have Supreme courts that are split like 7-2 or 8-1 R-D or vice versa. --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

Not to mention it doesn't restore the rights of murders and sex predators so I think everyone should agree that dude possessing too much marijuana should be able to vote again. Vlado thinks that those people should be murdered (or at least he's in favor of Duterte doing so), so I kinda doubt he'll agree with you here! --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 09/07/18 9:21:30 PM #375 | Way more jobs in industries using steel are going to be lost than jobs in making steel are going to be created (iirc estimates were like 400000 vs 30000 or something. I probably have the exact numbers wrong, but there was a huge discrepency). Basically, tariffs may be good for specific industries but theyre terrible overall (and thats not even getting into the fact that consumers are then going to have to pay more for products). --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

| LordoftheMorons 09/07/18 7:24:53 PM #312 | I honestly cannot think of a single thing Trump has done that is better than the actions of a generic president. Are there things he could have have fucked up more? Sure. By many metrics the economy is doing quite well, for instance, but I haven't seen any compelling argument that that's due to any action on Trump's part (and indeed, most of the numbers like unemployment etc are just following the same trends they were at the end of Obama's presidency). --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

I'm usually not one to be at all charitable to Trump, but I think it's more likely that the primary reason he regrets it is that it was one of the very few times he actually apologized for something (which he thinks makes him look weak). --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |

If the Dems do take the House, the GOP won't allow Pence to be impeached because the Speaker of the House is next in line for the presidency; if nothing else, they'd insist Pence be allowed to assume office and appoint his Vice-President before impeaching him to make sure the GOP holds the presidency.

| LordoftheMorons 09/04/18 1:01:11 PM #453 | From what I've been reading from Senate reporters, it seems that the Dems have likely decided that stopping Kavanaugh is hopeless and seem to be more focused on base signaling. If that's the case, I really wish they would focus their efforts on trying to box him into committing to recusal from all Trump-related matters (which in a saner time should have been a slam dunk case to make). --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! |
