The majority of the people who don't like ACB voted for Hillary Clinton so it only makes sense they don't like her because she is a woman.

You mean like how everyone who didn't vote for Bernie was anti-semetic?

No one knows anything about her because she didn't even get a real hearing and didn't disclose everything. People are still finding out things about her after her appointment.

This is a truly absurd statement to keep repeating.

Weren't you supposed to be against "SJW"s? Now you are one. A Conservative one.

Maybe... we're upset about all the worker's protections, abortion rights (women's rights), environmental protections, that we all broke our backs to get into place being put on the chopping block indefinitely, as well as a brick wall being put in place for any of the worker's protections, environmental protections, basic human rights, that still have to be implemented.

Was this a surprise after Brett Cavanaugh was pushed though despite his poor showing and sexual assault allegation?


The one where they found nothing happened?

streamofthesky posted...

Republicans left a court seat open an entire year so that "voters could decide", then rushed to fill a seat literally a week before the election.

They're the ones that keep changing the "rules" to suit their needs and plunder all that they can. You seem to have it backwards.
Perhaps if Republicans hadn't pulled that shit w/ Garland, and even went to cartoon villainy levels of evil such as stating their intent to steal the seat literally hours after Scalia had died, Dems wouldn't call them out on their FUCKING HYPOCRISY right now.


Yes it's hypocritical. They clearly lied back then. They're politicians, it's in their blood. They never had any intention of ever following the same standard. Blame Obama for not just appointing Garland without a hearing.

CyborgSage00x0 posted...

One of the ideas is if the Dems don't expand/contract the SC, they may also put term limits on appointments (like 18 years). Or they could do that in tandem with any court seat adjustments.

Something has to be done either way.


No this is stupid. Nobody cared before about there being no term limit so it would be hypocrisy to care now.

i mean, you can be a woman and still be sexist against women.

its like being uncle ruckus, but female.

and also, yall have serious reading comprehension issues.

the issue that you all clearly have isn't that she is female
its that she is a female you cant control. one with her own thoughts and opinions.

it may upset you antifeminists to hear this, but women deserve rights too!

If they get the numbers in the senate and congress to be able to add to the court, then no, I wouldn't have a problem with it. There were enough people elected to make that happen. That is how government works.

Of course we're going to like people who have views that closer align with our views. If that's all it is, people who like ACB like her because they can control her? Because i don't follow.

I'm reading your study.

Teenagers: .1 to .2
Young adults: .15 to .2
Difference coefficients in across different regions: ranging from .09 (New England) to .62 (Pacific)
Teens: .09 Youth: .04 Not significant
Conditional logit analysis: Non-employed and enrolled: .13 Employed and enrolled: .40 Employed and not enrolled: .28 Idle: .64

Fractions of a single percent in unemployment.

You're really standing up for the workers there. Totally worth people making not enough to make rent.

And you're not even scratching the surface if we're going back to "right to contract" era.

Oh, and btw... I wonder if that fraction of a percent has to do with people dropping jobs because they are or a member of their household is making enough money due to a higher minimum wage.

dropping a link to a paper with no commentary is a pretty poor way to go about convincing others, and I say this as an academic. Maybe try giving a brief statement of your point, a page or figure you're directing peoples' attention to, etc.

yea, better they be workers than unemployed
what you cited are the results for less than 7$, democrats want a 15$ min wage, obviously that would yield more extreme results
it's you who are standing up for big corporations, ever thought about why monopolies are in favor of minimum wage?
because they're the only ones who can afford it, it's small businesses who'll suffer, some of which will become unprofitable and close down, eliminating jobs

this isn't rocket science, it's economy 101 that when you increase the price of something artificially, demand for it decreases, labor is no exception

I'm wondering if someone can answer something for me. I hear a lot of fear concerning the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett with regards to abortion-rights and other leftist ideologies. However, in a few of the speeches I've heard her give, she mentions taking a more objective stance on legal issues despite her own religious beliefs. I currently attend a Christian college at which I'm getting my masters in marital therapy. I have experienced wonderful professors who have covered topics such as gay marriage and women who have gotten abortions. None of my professors have displayed a judgemental view of these people and are all completely capable of being objective, highly capable therapists. I mention this because I believe that being Christian doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot be objective and recognize that what is best for other people, does not always align with your personal beliefs. Is there any legitimate reason to believe that ACB cannot perform her job objectively as well? I'm asking because I really want to know. I dont know her history as a judge. Has she had a history of enforcing fundamentalist beliefs on other people?

I agree with you being Christian does not mean you can't be objective, or that you force your beliefs on others.

In terms of marriage equality, a lot of LGBTQ+ people grew up in Christian households, and were scarred by parents saying they would disown them, or that we were sins against God, or even worse conversation therapy. I know this isn't representative of all Christianity, but has been reality for many.

Combine that with the GOP attacks on certain rights in recent years, and you get a group of people who are assuming the worse because they haven't seen behavior to make them believe otherwise.

Right. Like, she might not be someone I would agree with, and I loathe the circumstances around her confirmation to the seat, but she's not even the worst Justice now to presently sit among the Supreme Court. That still goes to Brett, who is a dimwit that is clearly only there to buffer the pseudo-Conservative vote for the GOP's sake. Then again, it is perhaps too early to tell for ACB's part.
