disclaimer on Texags Confirmation Hearing for Jackson thread

 

[We are going to closely monitor this thread and we are going to have a quick ban hammer for disrespectful posters and trolls. There is the warning. -Staff]

 

Hmmm, i wonder why they felt the need to add that!

i legitimately wonder which side the texags mods are warning. what would a texag mod consider disrespectful and trollish w/r/t a black female scotus nominee?

Of the 114 Supreme Court justices in US history, all but 6 have been White men

ACB made it 7.  KBJ will make it 8 out of 116 who are not white dudes.

Graham stalking out in a huff after the record of recidivist Gitmo detainees was clarified (he threw down a 31% number, though, since Obama, the number is 5%,) was funny to me.

Hmm, there just might have been an agenda in creating that graphic.  How many of you ever thought that we sure need more sentencing commission members on the court?  With that said, she seems well qualified.

Well, the Sentencing Commission, among other things, sets the Sentencing Guidelines, and thus heavily influences sentences handed down by federal judges in criminal cases.  

It is ostensibly an "evidence-based" body that gets empirical and decides what sentences and sentencing factors are appropriate without reference to moral outrage or moral panic.  Most federal judges and Supreme Court nominees come from a civil background, or if any criminal background, prosecution or government lawyer.  Accordingly, they have nearly zero exposure to the things that the Commission is supposed to, and does, do to at least some extent.

Given that the Court addresses criminal sentencing with some frequency, justices with a better understanding of it are, in my opinion, highly warranted.

was reading about #1 the other day.  Texas's own Tom Clark fell victim to the great LBJ's chess moves to get that one on the board.

[horn4life 3,760]

What I like is the story line of "court packing..."  When the GOP has already packed the court.

When the GOP twice changed the rules to seal space on the court.  It's like playing monopoly for years and then all of a sudden one player decides that the old rules and precedents no longer apply.  Then they change the rules again the exact opposite of what was their "principled" reasoning, in the first set of changes.

So when I hear about how poorly some of the prior nominees were treated... Please...  

It's also good to remember that there was NO SEARCH FOR TRUTH regarding the allegations against Kavanaugh. The "investigation" was sort of like the one the Aggies did for the Bonfire Tragedy.  A predetermined outcome without a search for truth.

Sure.  And in the end, it won't matter.  It will be a 50/50 vote, because (paraphrasing the GOP rationale here) "we just can't trust the Supreme Court to a radical".

[elfenix 34,230]

How do you hold on your head the proposition that judges don't make law but that they should follow precedent, which is a fancy word that means "judge made law"?

I'd love for a nominee to one day explain that we have a common law system that we inherited from England that goes back 1000 years and is judge made law. And that if the senators don't like that they can switch to civil law if they want.

That whole line of attack is so disingenuous, but you made a great point.

Try this on someone who springs that bullshit:  Judges are supposed to follow precedent, right?  Who made the precedent?

And, of course, the "alt right" justices are creating a whole new bunch of precedent for the proposition that  . . . wait for it  . . . precedent can be ignored!
