So when someone is murdered by someone else, I should shake my fist at the entire human race? After all, it's been going on for centuries. This is nothing new.
Not sure I follow that logic.

Not really the correct analogy since, in this case, it's not a murder committed by a sole perpetrator. It's a murder committed by an entire class of people (corrupt government cronies). A "gang bang" of sorts...

I didn't realize that all politicians were staying at that resort with Scalia. But they haven't said who else was there, so maybe it was everyone else and the whole entire "system" is to be blamed for his decision not to review the proprietor's case before the Supreme Court.
Maybe you're right.

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't suggesting you ignore or not talk about this particular crony. Just pushing back on your use of the word "surprising." It's really not at all surprising, which is the saddest thing of all. He, like nearly everyone else in D.C., is corrupt and can be influenced and/or bought by special interest groups, lobbyists and corporations. It's a fact. Please, carry on...

The more I read about Sri Srinivasan, the more I like him as a nominee. He is not an extreme liberal, which I would not like to see on the court. He would be the first Asian-American justice, and the first immigrant in over 50 years. He was approved unanimously by this senate for the DC Circuit court. The GOP would be fools to oppose him, which means they probably will.

Nothing more to my previous statement. Nice try, though!
Calm down. I said I agree with you. I was responding to yankeefan's query about why Namo would have mentioned gas prices and Mitt Romney.

Fair enough. My apologies, Reg. xo

The Times has a handy chart on which senators would vote to obstruct:

Phyllis, why make it a gay thing? You and Namo always seem to use the gay card and it's just sad. Dear Straight people? What the hell is that? Scalia did lots of terrible things, not just to gay people. Get over yourself and your sexuality. Cause no one cares about it.
Posted: 2/17/16 at 7:25pm
It's not a card. It's our lives.
Nobody criticizes you you for playing a "stupidity card." We know it's not a card. It's who you are.

Shouldn't Cruz and Rubio recluse themselves from this vote due to conflict of interest, since they are both running for POTUS?

Hey Shrek, Fnck-you!
Posted: 2/17/16 at 7:43pm
No Namo, it's not your life. You just choose to make it a big deal about you for some reason but the truth is you are no different than straight people. Gay people and straight people are all the same. You just choose to shove your gayness in peope's faces cause you think it makes you special but it doesn't. Sexuality is nothing to be proud of.

Shrek3, you are truly a stupid gross troll. Ugh. Just gross. Get a life. Ugh. Yucky.

Shrek, when was the last time you as a supposedly heterosexual, was denied housing, employment, having a freaking CAKE baked for you, chastised and beaten and in some cases killed, for your heterosexuality? STFU you troll!

Scalia also gave us the primary arguments for executing the retarded and for the idea that nothing in the constitution bars the executing of people just because they are "actually innocent". Apparently, the Constitution's obsession with checking the power of the government was just an academic exercise and not an attempt to insure innocent people avoided conviction.

I know I'm different and I wouldn't have it any other way!!

For over four billion years, the world has been tilted in favor of straight, white men. For about the last 150 years or so, efforts have been made to balance the world so opportunities are more equal. That scares the crap out of many straight, white men, as well as those who have benefited from their advantage. Those folks can be found in many places: tea party rallies, Westboro Baptist Church, Trump rallies, Congress, etc. The SCOTUS is also where you can find them, and it is critical that we do not allow another to fill the void left by Scalia.

There seems to be a few posters in here who know everything about everyone and yet have only been in here a few weeks.

Shrek has not point. No valid argument. No position.
It only come here to badger and troll.
Which explains why they're on their god-knows-what-number screen name.
