The legislative branch has to change the policy within the law that the court finds issue with and tries again. Rinse and repeat until you can implement the law. You don't give up on the law and make new rules unless you want to break the republic.

Why does a co-equal branch have to listen to the Court?

Here's the problem with our country:

Everyone who wanted her to be credible found her credible. Truth be damned.

Everyone who wanted her to be incredible found her incredible. Truth be damned.

Everyone who wanted the truth is damned to be governed by the above two groups.

Some quickly counted numbers from page 307 on this balanced, non echo chamber forum:

  • From anti Kavanaugh posters:  43 posts receiving 30 up votes and 1 down vote
  • From pro Kavanaugh posters:  7 posts receiving  8 up votes and 4 down votes

This phenomenon is happening all across the internet.  We are forming insulated pods to reinforce what we want to believe and to vilify the other side.

incredible (ĭn-krĕdˈə-bəl)

  • adj.
    So implausible as to elicit disbelief: gave an incredible explanation of the cause of the accident.
 
I think incredible is fine when used as the opposite of credible.

Also:

 

Synonym study

The prefixes in- and un- may both have, among other uses, a negative force. In- is the form derived from Latin, and is therefore used in learned words or in words derived from Latin or (rarely) Greek: inaccessible, inaccuracy, inadequate, etc. Un- is the native form going back to Old English, used in words of native origin, and sometimes used in combination with words of other origins if these words are in common use: unloving, ungodly, unfeeling, unnecessary, unsafe.

"credible" seems to be a confusing word to some.  To the left it apparently means "there is an allegation I wish to be true" so the victim is credible.

Expand  

That's why you have no credibility on this board. 

Because you say stupid shit that's so fucking stupid, and so unrelated to the facts, that no one believes you.  

Hence, you are an incredibly stupid fuck.

This might be the dumbest thing I have read on this thread. Support of the one and only Jewish state in the world, a refuge from anti-Semitism and recapturing their ancestral homeland and assisting with them is not in support of the Jewish people. That’s pretty fucking stupid

You think evangelical Christians support Israel because they just care about Jewish people and want them to be safe?  That's well beyond "fucking stupid".

Still waiting on what makes him "one of the most evil men in the world"    All kidding aside, it is unsupported  statements like this that by the right that have put Soros into the role of Universal  Bogey Man.    Nobody knows what he did to deserve this supervillain status, and we don't really have time to explain it to you, so just accept it and move on with life. 

It's like somehow a branch of the Q crap that has been chosen to be legitimized by the right.    Maybe because so much of his works are global and not solely in the US, so he can be demonized easier, since we don't pay much attention to what goes on outside our borders?
 

So yes, you guys keep touting how all the accusations against BK are asinine and false.  Please give me credible evidence that Soros is the monster you claim him to be, or STFU.

Thanks for the kind words Icon.

Cali, when it comes to politics, Jews and blacks are the 2 dumbest groups of voters. The dems could care less about them other then when its time to raise money and votes. Most Jews support dems because they always have. My Mom is in her 80s and still votes dem even though she recognizes that the dem party is no longer the party of JFK and Scoop Jackson. She is so offended by the actions of dems with Kavanaugh, she won't vote for them any longer.

So yes, when it comes to voting most Jews are idiots and vote for dems simply because they always have but that is slowly beginning to change.

The only Jews I know who are Republicans (including my parents) are at least 50.  Every Jew I know under the age of 35 are incredibly vocal Democrats.  And these are Texas Jews.

I'd like to think that Murkowski using temperament and his ability to be fair, versus his Roe stance, might also be what Collins would use as a "no" vote.
