And he still lives in dc 

I honestly think he'd be a pretty good candidate.... somebody that understands the legislative and executive branches because he's worked in both... and he's a freaking constitutional lawyer.  I just wish he wasn't such an activist.

 

I don't see him giving up his lucrative endorsement deals to go into relative seclusion on the SC, much less when he had so much conflict (you LIE) when he was our president.

He doesn't need to be on the Court.  He already has 2 doing his bidding!  They are activist -- not Constitutionalist!   He'll probably pick this one.  But it's left up to the Republicans and Manchin and Sinema to ensure a Constitutionalist.

Quote from Obama: 

“I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating,” Obama quipped.

Oh, that's right -- he did say it's going to be a black woman if he ever had the opportunity.

Me either. He just shouldn’t make black and female the only qualifications. That is so racist it stinks.

It amazes that people aren't like "you get the matches!  I'll bring some diesel" when they hear outright racist statements being made and lauded.

 

There's no difference between filling a panel of exclusively black women and a panel of exclusively white men exclusively because of their race/gender.  Both are blatantly racist.  The fact that people think that this "new" racism is somehow better than the "old" racism blows my mind. 

 

I'd LOVE to see a black woman appointed to the Supreme Court.  I have no doubt that a few of the candidates being floated would make fine justices.  But the selection mechanism is all wrong, and the fact that nobody has a problem with it is mind-blowing.  Literally the highest court in the land, the final arbiter of all matters or racism/oppression in our country, is being populated using the most racist of all possible selection processes.  Can we be any more stupid?


You could literally make the argument "well, white men have lost three seats (i honestly don't know how many have been "lost") so we need to make sure a white dude gets this next one" and you'd probably get stoned to death. 

Promotions based on race only divide us further.

Finally admitting what we already know about yobama's 2 picks!

From the article:  "Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) said she wants Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s replacement to be someone “who will consider the impact, the effects of whatever decision-making is on people in our country so that they are not making decisions just based on” the law."  This individual is an United States Senator and knows NOTHING about the courts!!

    • That’s a president? How embarrassing. 
    • Really good hire! As I stated previously on this thread, Mike T has been an essential part of WB’s success the last few years & is a student of the game & I have a ton of respect for how he goes about things as a coach. Big on teaching kids how to do things the right way to prepare them for not only basketball but the game of life. He’ll be fine there, my only question is what kind of talent does WB have returning?  Best thing about this situation for Mike T is WB will be 5A for at least the next 2 years, so he should win a lot of games & have some deep playoff runs.
    • So which coaches kid gets the QB job? Trotter or Barrier
    • A Winnie land owner (and others) sued the State of Texas after they built IH-10 a few feet higher in order to help contain storm flooding. Sure enough a hurricane hit and flooded the land. The storm improvements worked!! Unfortunately the state sacrificed several people’s properties in using the interstate highway as a dam.  Richard DeVillier tried to sue Texas under our laws and Constitution and the US Constitution under the Fifth Amendment “taking clause” (eminent domain). After a favorable ruling in the federal district court on the right to sue Texas directly, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans overturned that ruling and said that the DeVlier had no authority to sue Texas directly.  On Tuesday a unanimous US Supreme Court ruled that DeVillier and others had the right to sue Texas directly under Texas law and under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The case is now sent back down to the lower court. DeVillier and others have not won their lawsuits as the case has not been decided on its merits at a trial. He still has to go to prove his case. What they did win was a unanimous Supreme Court agreeing that he has the right to bring Texas to trial for taking his property with just compensation.
