The precedent it would set is pretty scary, though.

What, that we shouldn't let Russian puppets make life-term appointments to the highest court in the nation? Because that just strikes me as being common sense.

About Trump getting to support Supreme Court justices: if Trump is thrown out of office before the next election and somehow his justices were also replaced, Pence would be the one to appoint the new justices. Would there really be a substantial difference in how the court would rule going forward?

Sorry, I'm just really sick of all the left-wing sites going on about long-shot plans that result in the Dems getting to control the Supreme Court soon. It's not going to happen, we're fucked for the next few decades, just accept it and move on.

I see literally no reason (short of a complete breakdown of the rule of law) to believe that Pence won't be brought down too, if/when Trump goes down for being a Russian puppet.

Remember that Manafort was the one who picked him, and he oversaw the transition. He's in just as deep as the rest of the mob.

If the Dems don't take the House, there is virtually no chance Congress would impeach Trump at all. 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.

The last time the Democrats did something so drastic to overcome Republicans, they did away with the filibuster and created this mess.

If they undid Trumps Supreme Court picks, whats to keep them from just realiating whenever another Republican becomes President?

Uh, I mean, the article is factual, psaltery just used a poor source because he's a troll

I don't know about Amway and I don't care, it would appear the Orlando Magic's ownership was split among Richard DeVos's children (which includes Betsy DeVos's husband) but it seems that Dan DeVos is now the chairman.

None of this should really be a reason to boycott the Magic - being owned by Richard DeVos should have already been a good enough reason to do so. He is not a good person.

I mean it is being reported all over that the owner died so this was hardly unbelievable. Why would russia care to lie about an NBA team ownership? But yeah it looks like Dan Devos is taking over so I'm good.

And I don't talk politics enough for that to influence my ignore list.

I'm sure the Democrats will return the favor when they retake the Senate while there is a Republican president. If both of those ever happen again, at the same time.

Then she has convinced Wikileaks to help divert the attention away from her with their expert analysis.

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/1037880524516282370

Based upon our statistical analysis of the language used in the New York Times anonymous Op Ed, the author is likely to be an older (58%), conservative (92%) male (66-87%). Sources should protect themselves by consulting "adverserial stylometry" and "forensic author profiling".

I mean, yeah? I think so, at least. I don't think SCOTUS nominees/justices are immune from the law.

I'm not sure who would have jurisdiction. I would assume it would go through the federal court system but IANAL.

But I mean, I think the Congress/Senate would need to bring the charges because I doubt anyone else would be granted standing so =/

One of the biggest names in journalism. Has been for nearly 50 years. Was one of the main reporters who uncovered and reported on Watergate.

Is currently about to release a book on the Trump administration based on hundreds of hours of interviews. Book comes out on Tuesday, excerpts have been trickling out all this week. Trump has gone ballistic over it and called it all fake. (Despite previously saying "only the Obama WH could get away with attacking Bob Woodward") Woodward has produced documents backing up claims.

lmao who gives a **** about Nike

Didn't think I needed a link for the biggest story of the week before the op-ed and the Kavanaugh hearings went nuts!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-woodwards-new-book-reveals-a-nervous-breakdown-of-trumps-presidency/

https://www.axios.com/bob-woodward-fear-book-excerpts-donald-trump-9f7fa27f-7c8b-4f28-bcc1-99fcb22be315.html

WaPo link is more comprehensive on the subject. Axios one is more supplementary but does provide excerpts not found in the WaPo one (and vice versa.)

Edit: Still think WaPo link is better than the BBC one provided above.
