This is what I'm talking about. Not just the one case.Originally Posted by James Brown
Did you read the opinion? Of course not. I am so disappointed in this forum. Just because you all don’t like an interim outcome, you all default to the “shill” argument without observing that the Court is quite likely 100 % correct under the law. This is an unresolved case and you, Rod, and even James are unwilling to dig into the legal and procedural issues. Much easier to smuggly play the “shill” card. 😟

He's 38 years old. At what age does a political commentator achieve adulthood so that you can respect his position?Originally Posted by James Brown
Your source is a youngster - a child even. I value your opinion far more than I value his. I don't mind saying that I value my own opinion on issues of jurisprudence far more than this activist's opinion.

You are old enough to remember the Warren Court issuing progressive opinions one after another. You probably remember Roe v. Wade when it came out. You might very well have agreed with the outcome, but at the time, did you consider the Warren Court Shills for the left? Of course not! As you probably know, Roe was issued on shaky ground, even liberal icons like Ginsberg acknowledged that. The Roberts Court has undone some of what the Warren Court did - not because of political bias or shilling. I could argue that the Warren Court were the actual shills - but I certainly won't. I am smart enough to see that they were liberal justices applying liberal judicial principals to the thorny issues presented to them. Times have changed. Elections have long term consequences.
I get it that the press and 95% of the electorate applies the same lockstep left/right political motivation to the Court that they apply to elected officials. The press and 95% of the electorate lack the ability of to discern what is really going on in these Supreme Court cases. I want you to be part of the 5% that brings some serious consideration to the Court's actions, even if you usually disagree with the outcomes.

I'm a retired music teacher, not a legal scholar, so I absolutely can't go toe to toe with you on this, James.Originally Posted by James Brown
in Canadian jurisprudence you also have liberal and conservative bias at play.
P.S. it is absolutely not messed up. It is the best system around. And not that different from what you have in Canada.
Let’s talk about Roe v. Wade. You are familiar with that case I am sure. Do you think it was correctly decided in the 70s? Why or why not?

Completely forgot about Stephen Wright being in that movie. I grew up in the same neighbourhood ad John Candy. We attended a few teen house parties in the late '60's. I knew him to nod to....Originally Posted by Jim Moscheck

I do think there will be voter suppression shenanigans at some polls in November. Even if it is "illegal" to do so. And despite your continued faith in the "robust" strength of American Democracy. A lot of very bad shit has gone down in history while reasonable men told everyone not to panic.Originally Posted by James Brown
Hi Dave, replying to two of your threads here, but the odds of ICE “stormtroopers” being redeployed to swing districts to throw the election are the same as the odds of us capturing your PM and taking over Canada. 0% to any reasonable mind, >50% within your particularly paranoid bubble. Please let’s remember to revisit this after the elections.
