As you imply, just like the "wall of separation" , the Supreme Court has delimited that second amendment right just as you say.

Conservatives beat people over the head with Supreme Court decisions they love (citizens United, nothing but the supremes deciding in extent and limits of constitutional guarantees. That's fine. But the decisions about heavy weaponry or establishment clause that define extents and limits of other constitutional guarantees....they don't like as much.

This cognitive flexibility has aLways been there but now I think it's full speed 24/7 delegitimizing Supreme Court for other reasons. They will kneecap court if they can't stay in majority.

Let them hold that anchor and sink. Their presumptive nominee has a 59% disapproval rating and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher.

Which is better than the Democrats' presumptive nominee. Bwahahahahaha!

Pretty bad when HuffPo points that out, isn't it?

Bwahahahahahaha!

Can you show me where in the constitution Supreme Court appointments are made by public referendum. Dope that you are remeber we even have an electoral college for president and we are in middle of primary season.

K ow how Nevada republican primary works? People elect local delegates. Local delegates elect country delegates. County delegates elect state delegates. State delegates select delegates for national convention. Democratic!

Of course, the nutters could refuse hearings. Which should drive the 57-58% who want nominee this term even higher. Prior to a national election. Republicans have the kind of seats to defend in senate this year Dems had in 2014. And demographics during national elections hurt them as much as off years hurt d's.

So keep turning blue. I'm actually loving it. Open up and say "aahhhh" last conservative majority ever on Supreme Court is waving "bye bye"

Tee hee

BTW note how ignorant the resident conservative is about government constitution etc. says "filibuster" not even relevAnt here.

They just have their little war cries like the little boy tin soldiers they are ...."filibuster"

Showing once again they cannot govern. Too incompetent. Just don't know how

I've decided to rename you from TeeHeeMan to Giggles as in Giggles the Clown or just Giggles for short. So Giggles, how come you keep avoiding the topic of the undemocratic process of the Democratic primary? I'm dying to see how you rationalize it.


"GOP superdelegates are only about 7% of the nominating vote, and according to Republican convention rules, superdelegates must vote in accordance with their state primary outcomes. It's in the Democratic Party that the outsized power and lack of accountability of superdelegates is supremely undemocratic.

Specifically, after the Democratic caucuses in Nevada, CNN estimated that Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were almost tied for pledged delegates, with 52 and 51 of them, respectively. And yet Clinton was leading by a much wider margin in the total delegate count because a whopping 445 superdelegates -- out of a total of 712 -- pledged to support her. By comparison, just 18 superdelegates pledged to support Sanders.

In other words, while Clinton and Sanders were almost perfectly split in the tally of voter-determined delegates, superdelegates threw their weight behind Clinton by an almost 25-to-1 ratio.

Any liberal who has ever been at a protest march for social justice has heard the popular chant: "This is what democracy looks like!" Well, superdelegates are definitely not what democracy looks like. Anything but."


CNN's Jake Tapper asked Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz why the Democratic Party would embrace such a plainly undemocratic process. Here's what she said:

"Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists."

In other words, the Democratic Party's superdelegates exist to preserve the power and influence of the Democratic Party's elite."

Hillary will beat trump like a gong. She would destroy either trump or Rubio so throroughly in a debate that reality would set in immediately afterward.

One on one remember. She will melt them because at end of day she is actually knowledgeable, experienced, accomplished and they come across as thoughtless little boys.

See nutters think because news media covering trump non stop thatbtheynare winning. Pay close attention.why are party insiders struggling to get Rubio in?

They know rubes gets crushed but it preserves the party. They keep house. Maybe even keep,senate. Certainly enough senate seats that they can even lose a few vulnerable senators on some votes and still filibuster. So happy.

Trump or Cruz and it's over edge and they know it. Bloodbath down ballot.

Can't buy entertainment like this.

Doesn't this come under the Malcolm X theory of politics!

"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as friend and benefactor......."

Meanwhile closer to home......

The former MBTA worker who racked up more than 2,600 hours of overtime and nearly $330,000 in pay last year regularly approved his own extra time, according to a scathing audit that, despite slamming the abuse, determined there was no “inappropriate conduct” by employees.

The shocking finding, released yesterday as part of a preliminary review of the agency’s excessive overtime problem, was one of several practices pinpointed as helping drive the T’s overtime costs, which last year topped more than $75 million and has become a target for reform.


How much you want to bet these guys vote Democrats?

Now we'll watch Giggles try to distract from this one too.

"Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton's charge that corporate CEOs earn 300 times more than their workers isn't just wrong. It hides another very real wage gap: She earns more in just one speech than the average American CEO in a year. Mark J. Perry, a University of Michigan professor and author of the American Enterprise Institute's popular Carpe Diem blog, did the fact-checking The average CEO, using Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, makes $216,100. Clinton's speaking agent, the Harry Walker Agency Inc., charged about $275,000 a speech and packaged three for Wall Street's Goldman Sachs at $675,000. Perry used the BLS average salary for all CEOs, not just the top ones Clinton likes to cite."

And let's talk about how much time Obama spent at the Scalia funeral - None.

But he did spent 2 minutes at the memorial, Hip hip hooray!

What makes this so egregious to me is that the reason the left hated Scalia so much is that he was a strict constitutionalist/textualist. His greatest sin, that people like Obama find so offensive, is that he believed the constitution meant what it said, and nothing more. He believed that decisions must be made according to the word of law, not by any desired political outcome, for good or for bad, and if you don't like the outcome - change the law through amendments. He understood the inherent dangers of judges who changed the meaning of the constitution to match their personal politics. How you can despise somebody so much for their belief in the law is what disturbs me. Disagree with Scalia all you want on a technical level - but to go so far as to disrespect him and his family by choosing to publicly blow off the funeral is so petty and childish - it's insulting, but also embarrassing to see a president behave this way. As president, that move was a statement. A disturbing one.

Ok here is how. I'll list it to make it more obvious to everyone how much you lack the k owl edge and depth to discuss this.

1) procedures for getting either major party nominations is baroque and Undemocratic.

2) democrats win Undemocraticness via super delegates

3) many republican states use a higher threshold for awarding "proportional" delegates. 20%. Not only are people below that Not democratically represented but it sets up,situations where if one candidate gets 30% and others less than 20 the former gets an Undemocratic share.

4) republicans historically used winner take all primaries. Not democratic especially when sister states proportional. Though rules have changed somewhat some states still have "back door" winner take all primaries......republican. Ones.

5) republicans award 3 delegates per congressional district despite fact that district in Washington, D.C. Has orders more people than I-am-my-own-uncle, SD. Not democratic. Democrats award delegates more proportionally based on population.

I know these things and went looking for a few updates because as a HS student in mid 70s I went to national debate finals on such a topic....resolved: the USA should change the way presidential and vice presidential candidates are selected or something such. So once again operating from a perspective of superior information and k owl edge before opining.....the superior progressive way I might add....as far as being a good citizen etc....

In any case you acted like a mongrel on a bone. The nutter sites are on super delegates as part of their 24/7 anti-Hillary screed and you dutifully repeat. Yet the whole system, for both parties, is Undemocratic to varying degrees, often varying state to state. It's a sign of our times that nutters like you merely pluck what you want and are incapable of seeing the Forrest.

Moron.

But please.....tell us how awarding delegates 3 to a congressional district regardless of population like republicans do is democratic. Failure to address will just go down as one of many victories I've enjoyed here. The loser doesn't have to congratulate me on his way off field for me to k ow when I've won....

President and First Lady handled this with diplomacy and aplomb. The rat bastard couldn't be bothered to attend a state of the Union, mocked the judicial tradition of. Ot speaking out politically, died on a vacation paid for by people with business in front of court consistent with his prior habit = corrupt, and had already been affronted with republican screeds about how he had no authority to nominate successor.

Once again I think Obama and Michelle are the classy ones, rising above the pettiness of the fat cirrhotic Scalia here.

Obamas are truly classiest act in White House in our lifetimes. Consistent with less corruption in this administration than any before it,

That's why they seethe.....he's just better than they are

In 2003, when the court ruled gay people could no longer be thrown into prison for having consensual sex, he spectacularly dissented. He's been there in other cases as well. Reveling about suffering of innocent people who just didn't share his 1940's Vision of morality.

I hope there is an afterlife because he will be tormented for all time with the same hateful zeal he went after his pariahs. If I could find out where and I'm local I would be happy to dance on his grave.

You guys sure we're surprised when he bit it. Could news comes in bunches but Alito pro a ly takes his blood pressure meds.

And what kind of man still thinks these things are insults? I'll tell you.

1) white

2) over 50

3)divorced

4) meets definition of "obese"

5) at best 4 yr degree from pedestrian college. Probably not.

6) lots of bitter sour grapes over kids' soccer

7) resents institutions of higher education, better quality gets more of his hate

8) underemployed or working mom and pop business given posts day I. And day out for what ten years now?
