I did too, but then I read it again and saw it the other way, and now Who Princess has cleared it up!myoung321 said:Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
I just read that Loretta Lynch is considered Obama's most likely nomination.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

That was not my point. My point was that the exact person that supported a filibuster in 2006, in a lot the same way as what we are seeing today, cannot (without being a HUGE hypocrite) preach that the opposition is not following the rules by attempting the same tactic against him now that he is president. History has yet to say whether or not it will work this time around.myoung321 said:0 -
"Scalia accepted gifts on occasion, two of them that reflected the love that brought him to Texas on his final trip: a $1,000 shotgun and a $600 rifle, both from the National Wild Turkey Federation."

My apologies... I didn't catch the sarcasm...Who Princess said:
Of course they're not a mom-and-pop operation. There's a half dozen of their stores within a 20-30 minute drive for me. I was ridiculing the argument they made (family business, religious beliefs, etc.) which the Supreme Court accepted.
As someone who enjoys needlework as a hobby, I can tell you that it isn't even a decent hobby store. I only shopped there a couple of times years ago and never went back because (1) they didn't have any of the things I needed and (2) they played religious music over the PA. I'm pretty live and let live about people's religious beliefs but I thought playing music like that for shoppers was weird. After the SCOTUS decision, I will never set foot in the place, not that I'd have any reason to.

Hobby Lobby is the only place within 100 miles of my house that sells framing goodies. The thought of buying something there to be used for framing a PJ poster feels wrong. I also have not stepped foot in there since the ruling."The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera." - Yusuf Karsh

No worries. Sometimes it's hard to detect sarcasm in an online discussion, especially with something like politics!myoung321 said:My apologies... I didn't catch the sarcasm...
Have you tried buying framing supplies online? I haven't done it in ages but my husband used to do that.myoung321 said:Hobby Lobby is the only place within 100 miles of my house that sells framing goodies.

Thanks for those, mickeyrat. Would that the members of Congress respected each other and worked together that way."The stars are all connected to the brain."0

Taking it back from people who do not allow a non-liberal/progressive viewpoint. For example, Mozilla CEO being fired because he gave a $1,000 to the wrong PAC due to a few whiny people on social media.njnancy said:
Scalia was very comfortable in his view of the world. It's just that it was not in touch with the change in attitudes of most Americans. Hence - the cry to 'take our country back'. I always want someone to finish the sentence with who they are taking it back from.

PS - couldn't care less if you think being glad he's dead is bad taste. That guy was a motherfucker as far as I'm concerned and I am pleased as punch that his voice is gone from the US supreme court. Death was the only thing that would shut the fucker up.0 -
Brandon Eich stepped down and wasnt fired, Eich posted that "under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader."bootlegger10 said:

The nomination process starts with the president not with congress telling him when he can or can't put forth a nominee it's right there in the constitution so let's see how the GOP tries to spin this issue ....
Obama should nominee 10 candidates just to make these assholes work make them vote yes or noPost edited by josevolution onjesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -

does anybody think for one second that if the shoe were on the other foot, republican president, democratic senate, that the republican president would stand down and wait for the election??
if you believe that they would, i have a bridge to sell you.

That's how the free market works, people vote with their wallets. It's all fine and good for him to donate money to actively deny rights to American citizens, but not ok for American citizens to say "Bullshit" and refuse to do business with said bigot? It seems like you are biased towards those who try to make bigots own their words. Strange.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Obama disagrees with you based on his vote to follow through with the filibuster of Alito in 2006. Funny how that fact keeps being avoided.josevolution said:The nomination process states with the president not with congress telling him when he can or can't put forth a nominee it's right there in the constitution so let's see how the GOP tries to spin this issue ....

i have a hobby lobby a half mile from my house. since the SC decision in the hobby lobby case i have had a couple thousand dollars of custom framing done. i went elsewhere. would it be more convenient for me to go to hobby lobby? sure. but i vote with my wallet, and they can go fuck themselves as far as i am concerned."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
