The devil took some kicks in his posterior last week, which is appropriate for the holiest week in the Christian calendar. In Tennessee, a couple of Democrats were expelled from the legislature for leading a January 6-style protest. In Texas, a federal judge placed a ban on mailing abortion pills — upholding a federal law that has been on the books for 150 years.
His blocking of Soetoro’s judges and ushering through PDJT’s judges is about the only thing positive I can think about Cocaine Mitch. Could you imagine Merrick Garland as a Supreme Court justice?
The one bright spot in the last two years of craziness was the look on Merrick Garland's face when Josh Hawley (I think) told him we were lucky he didn't make it onto the Court. I couldn't have agreed more.
Mark, I'm thinking along the same line as you. As Attorney General, Garland has done and will continue to do allot of damage to our country. As one person out of nine on the Supreme Court, I just don't see as much potential for destruction.
"Putting cops in schools failed in Uvalde, Texas, having failed earlier in Parkland in Florida."
Depends entirely on who the cops are. Those who took down Audrey Hale could have done the same in the other two places had they been present.
Now, I'm no lawyer, but I do know this. If you make a plea before a court, you are tacitly agreeing to two things. You agree that the court has jurisdiction over the matter and you agree to abide by the court's rulings, pending possible appeal, of course. If President Trump decides, on January 20, 2025, to revoke all visas held by Chinese nationals, then in the next microsecond Ron Klain or his clone will sue to enjoin the action. However, holding a visa is a privilege, not a right, and the executive department has the exclusive power to grant, deny, revoke, or modify that privilege, either individually, or as a matter of policy. To my knowledge courts have no authority at all in matters of policy unless a person's rights are infringed by said policy, and, as I said, no one has a right to a visa. If (when) this happens, the President's legal team should simply inform the court that they are not entering a plea, but informing the court that it has no jurisdiction over the matter.
Woolly Bully lol. By now we have been made to understand that laws only apply to us hoi polloi types, not the Regime or their special victim groups. The reality is that they use lawfare as one of their main weapons, and even though they lose a lot in court, the strategy is throw everything against the wall and see what sticks. Since they use the DOJ as their partisan hack legal unit frequently, we end up paying for this stuff regardless. And then the Democrats have their billionaire donors who fund most of the rest or they shunt federal money to NGOs that then do it. So it’s effective and it grinds down the system. But only a party that had no respect for the law or the nation behaves this way. If they lose, they bully the judges - e.g. terrorize them, so they think twice about how they’ll rule in the future. It’s a thugocracy.
The major problem with our republic is The executive branch has most of the power. The legislative branch never uses its power (Purse strings) and the Judicial Branch has no power. The "fourth branch" aka the press are cheerleaders for the Democrats and not objective observers.
I agree, this poll requires a lot less consideration than previous polls. Does being a Marxist mean you sequester your brain? "If it weren't for double standards...." Y'all know the rest.
May I add a positive note? Governor Abbott is pardoning a wrongly convicted American(Daniel Perry) who defended himself against a Burn Loot Murder idiot pointing an AK-47 at him.
May G-d damn the Soros prosecutor. Remember what you are up against in metropolitan areas, folks. I won't even approach my beloved Twin Cities for the foreseeable future.
Orwell's greatest fear was not the politician, but the bureaucrat. We should all remind ourselves of that on a daily basis. Perhaps there should be a term limit on them, rather than the politicians who actually are elected, as much as you might question the sanity of their constituents.
It seems they got a tiger by the tail but think it can be tamed.The Tenn. repubs should have expelled all three instead of going limp wrist on the female.As for Wyden he is as much Oregon as a Maine moose merely keeping a cubicle here for an address.I ask all of your readers to fight the media takedown of Justice Thomas currently being waged .This how to win,fight back at every opportunity and do not relent.
Democrats will continue their tender self-love. Popcorn is already in short supply due to the source of this vital food stuff being used for -- of all things -- fuel. Some idiot in Washington screwed with a certain pipeline at the very beginning of The Winter of Our Discontent. Who did that, President Saul Alinsky?
Yeah, I about had a heart attack when Obama pushed that through. A great idea making our food into car fuel. /s Raised prices then too. Then they shut the real fuel down and are tripling down with that.
As someone in the middle who hates all this craziness, I don't like the idea that Tennessee expelled anyone over what happened. That seemed extreme. They had to have other options.
The woman who was not expelled did not go as far as the other two (she didn't use the bullhorn) according to her defenders. That's why she remained, but only by one vote.
The judiciary is so partisan its ridiculous, and both conservative and liberal judges are "activists" now, and that's not good for anyone.
But having said that, yes, all of this can be traced back to Democrats' short-sightedness. They change the rules and, as you say, scream when the other side dares to use the same tactics they do. So I can't really feel sorry for them. They think that "history" is on their side and the ends justify the means, and that narcissistic take is destabilizing the system.
You said: The Constitution bans former Confederate and other insurrectionists from ever holding public office.
I say: Wouldn't that also prevent Biden and several other liberals from ever holding public office again? You can start with Biden and then move to remove the mayors of Philadelphia and San Francisco
Voters are beginning to realize how radical and extreme the Democrats are with the China-friendly anti-fossil fuel Green New Deal that benefits China and the crazy woke policies that are requiring us to say that a man is a woman. And even requiring schools to present pornography to six year olds.

He probably would be less dangerous on SCOTUS than he is as Attorney General. He would be the male Sotomayor.
At least Garland's term will not be 'lifetime' - so we're having a hold-your-nose moment
Garland is just as dumb as a rock as Sotomayor. We dodged a bullet with that one.
However, just when you think the dems couldn’t nominate someone dumber than Sotomayor, they nominate KJB. “It” doesn’t know how to define a woman. Lol
Mark, I'm thinking along the same line as you. As Attorney General, Garland has done and will continue to do allot of damage to our country. As one person out of nine on the Supreme Court, I just don't see as much potential for destruction.
Ep agreed, He has turned the scales of justice into a Tilt-a-Whirl.
re: Garland - 'talk about missing a bullet - egads!
No
You hurt my brain with that question.
Starting the week with a particularly informative & inspirational Don Surber is definitely the way to go!
Thank you.
ps. And a tip top poll bonus.

Easy poll question. Running out of popcorn was tragic. And I don’t even like popcorn.
I agree, this poll requires a lot less consideration than previous polls. Does being a Marxist mean you sequester your brain? "If it weren't for double standards...." Y'all know the rest.
I figured everyone has a hangover from all that Bud Light they drank this weekend that they needed an easy one
Boo Hiss, won't drink that horse ****.
Didn't know you could get drunk on Bud light.
You cant, its a pretend beer. We didnt even drink it ages ago in the Navy. It sucked in the early 90s too.
May I add a positive note? Governor Abbott is pardoning a wrongly convicted American(Daniel Perry) who defended himself against a Burn Loot Murder idiot pointing an AK-47 at him.
May G-d damn the Soros prosecutor. Remember what you are up against in metropolitan areas, folks. I won't even approach my beloved Twin Cities for the foreseeable future.
Dittos on the Twin City approach. Mpls and Hopkins were the garden spots of my long past youth.
“Don’t want none, don’t start none.”
Much like “what goes around, comes around.”
The latest Twitter equivalent of that notion is apparently “Fuck around! Find out!”
Succinct! I like it.

Term limits for both!

Wyden is worse than Smerkley, my late wife said she had smarter Geraniums. After being at a conference with Wyden as a speaker.
I tried to watch him with Tim Russert and got so pissed because he would not answer the questions but attacked the GOP every time so I shut it off.

Another great one Don. You are more informative than most in our land today. Thanks!
