[OrbitalDawn]

Antonin Scalia was only an ‘originalist’ when it was convenient

Thanks. Always a hoot to read "Pravda on the Potomac" as the WTimes was once called. Always useful to see what the echo chamber is saying to itself.

What I find most fascinating is that it was ever considered anything other than the jingoistic piece of trash it is today.

Better than always lying I suppose. Still no sources for the 'tradition' BS Arthur?

Time to polish up some google skills, ghoti. I'm not gonna do it for you.

As for obstructionists, it was the dems that gave us the verb borked. Read up about it and get some perspective.

I'm no Republican supporter, as I've said many times before. But I'm defintely very anti-Dem - they've become the Party of Death in the US.

More right-wing butt-hurt. It's because it's perceived to be a left-wing paper. I'm assuming it's because it tends to be factual, and as we know, truth has a decidely left-wing bias

Im trying to understand what you said has relevance to the very detailed opinion piece that is pretty helpful to anyone. No matter what your political affiliation. I read what Google puts into my news feeds. This includes Fox, Reason, etc. Im talking about the information presented there, not a history lesson in your own bias.

That's not even ghoti, cleverness.

 

[Arthur]

ghoti is as ghoti does.

 

[RanzB]

Yes, and liar is as liar does. Which is why you're always lying.

No sources yet? What a surprise.

 

[zippy]

legal and political "worlds" ? lol. Its only f***ing America......

 

[Arthur]

ah, yes, my precious. we'll see one day. we'll see.

Are you high?

for randhir (and some others, evidently) anything that doesn't fit his worldview is a lie. how wonderful to have such certain access to truth. life is very simple for him.

Actually, no thats not it at all. You lie through your teeth, we all know it. We have all busted you with it. Its got nothing to do with word views. You are very conservative with the truth. But you lie mostly to cover up your mistakes in knowledge(which is bad, you should embrace and rejoice in being corrected). ... so I dont really care any more. Its a pretty harmless form of lying born out of insecurity.

Im sure you honestly believe you are on some greater mission doing the right thing here and all the stuff. Have fun. No one will ever accuse you of being liberal... with the truth.

 

[RanzB]

ah, yes, my precious. we'll see one day. we'll see.

We don't have to see 'one day', liar. We can see now. Source some examples of what you declared was 'tradition'.

Life is simple in this instance Arthur. As you say, google is available. Instead of bitching, whining and special pleading, all in order to cover up the fact that you lie, it would be very easy to prove what you're saying. The fact that you won't, and can't, is proof enough that it's a lie. So it's not my worldview, is it?

Arthur mentioned 'Borked' , am assuming that he was referring to Robert who was Nixon's judicial bitch during Watergate.

He was promised a place on the Supreme court by Nixon in return for running interfere for him during the Watergate scandal. Bork complied.

So, I think it was inspiring that he was rejected.

There was an earlier usage of bork as a passive verb, common among litigators in the D.C. Circuit: to "get borked" was to receive a conservative judicial decision with no justification in the law, reflecting their perception, later documented in the Cardozo Law Review, of Judge Bork's tendency to decide cases solely according to his ideology.

Thanks Arthur. Now I know what getting borked is all about

You made a claim, was corrected by numerous sources, and refuse to acknowledge it.

If you still hold to the same claim, then you are lying.
