    Reagan reacted to tvc184 in SCOTUS Rules 9-0 That President Trump Can Appear On Ballot!   
    Is the failure (as noted by BS Wildcats) the person who has the constitutional right to complain or the legal body that issues a ruling that clearly is unconstitutional?

    In this case we have a 91 year old former Republican lawmaker who was butt hurt over January 6 and made the sole determination that it was unconstitutional for Trump to be on the ballot. Like you, she was likely blinded by her anyone but Trump hatred but that is a protected right.
    This supposedly famed Colorado (first woman state leader) Republican in the article that you posted said that the Founding Fathers contemplated a candidate like Trump. She knew he was ineligible to run again. (quoted from the article)  “She knew!!!”
    The Founding Fathers?? 
    This doddering old fool has apparently lost enough of her marbles that she forgot that the Fourteenth Amendment came out after the Civil War as a response to civil rights for Blacks almost 100 years after independence was declared and the Founding Fathers have long since left the Earth. With this brilliant insight into the Constitution and history, she solely made the determination that Trump was ineligible. Utterly brilliant!!
    Of course she still has enough beans rattling around in her brain to know that her absolute knowledge of the Constitution had to be upheld by the Colorado Supreme Court.
    So who is the on the Colorado Supreme Court and how are they selected? 
    A Colorado Supreme Court justice is selected by the governor of Colorado. So the only way to be appointed as a Colorado Supreme Court justice, the sitting governor has to make the appointment. They each later face a 10 year term for reelection by the public in a general election. 
    All current Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats. Some? A majority perhaps? Nope, the entire Colorado Supreme Court was appointed by a Democrat governor. 
    So again, who owns the failure? A person who complains like this old biddy that deemed herself as a constitutional scholar and out to (again from the article) save the Democracy or the duly constituted body who by law is supposed to make decision based on the US Constitution?
    Sorry but this falls squarely on the constitutional body who was selected by the Democratic governors. A body who a unanimous US Supreme Court slapped down because they collectively couldn’t understand this section from the Fourteenth Amendment:
    Section 5.
    The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
    Again, it doesn’t say a state legislature, a state Supreme Court, a state attorney general, an old woman who thinks that the Founding Fathers were still around after the Civil War or anyone else other than Congress.
    BS Wildcats was 100% correct. It wasn’t an old Republican lawmaker who has the First Amendment constitutional right to free speech and also the First Amendment right to redress the government for grievances. It was the 100% Democratic Supreme Court of Colorado who could not understand a single sentence and in particular a single word, “Congress”.

    I think you're missing the point... The state's opinion is that he lied.  His own opinion, the opinion of the bank, and the opinion of whatever appraiser looked over the loan thought that the values were adequate.  Like I said earlier... a lie is "I make $100,000 a year" and providing forged pay stubs is a lie.  If someone tries to borrow money against a property that they do not own... a lie.  If somebody says "I think my property is worth $200k,"  the independent appraiser believes  (in his/her expert knowledge) that the property is worth at least $200k, the bank agrees with the applicant and the appraiser that the property is worth $200k, the loan is then paid back...... 
    Don't let your hatred of the man cloud your judgment.  Like I said... how would you like to be hauled into court over a home equity loan that you'd already paid back because you, the appraiser, and the bank all agreed on the value of the property, but then the state provides their "opinion" of the value of the property back then and files suit against you?  
     
    There was no crime.

    Reagan reacted to tvc184 in President Trump's VP Pick!   
    Mostly presidents choose who might swing a few votes.
    The Veep isn’t likely to lose votes but could potentially swing a close state.
    Presidential nominees aren’t exactly known for choosing a front runner or what the talking heads feel is a “likely” pick.
    It’s like Nixon choosing Gerald Ford (although in the middle of a presidency and not a primary), Ford choosing Dan Quayle, Mondale choosing Geraldine Ferraro, etc.
    Certainly there are outliers such as Ronald Reagan, choosing George Bush.
    So the biggest question will be, will Trump choose one of the claimed front runners such as Ramaswamy, Gabbard, Noem or Scott or will he go outside like with Pence?
     The odds seem to be in favor of a person who isn’t typically mentioned in the usual conversations.
    From a purely voting standpoint, it seems like Tulsi Gabbard  would be the most likely choice or the choice most likely to swing any votes from the undecided or claimed swing voters 
    In her favor for things that some people feel are important are:
    1. Female and Pacific Islander. 
    2. Current member of the National Guard and with deployments overseas during the Iraq War and later in Kuwait. As a combat medic she earned a Combat Medic Badge which I believe is given by the Army for medics who have actually treated wounded soldiers while engaged with an enemy.
    3. Like Ronald Reagan, she was a former Democrat, who realized the folly of that party.
    4. She is very young and can get away from the old person stereotype that currently seems to be running politics. 
    I don’t know that any of the other candidates can bring as much to the table that might entice a swing voter. I have seen people for example, push for Ramaswamy, saying that he is a rich businessman and outspoken, much like Trump. I like the guy however is he going to swing a middle of the road independent? If one of those people likes a person such as Trump, why not just vote for Trump?
     But I think Trump is going to pull a rabbit out of the hat …….

    Phelan would show up drunk when doing his official duty as Speaker.  AG Paxton called him out on it.  Phelan retaliated by garnering enough Dem votes to impeach Paxton.  Paxton was eventually acquitted.  I watched a lot of the impeachment trial.  And it became clear Phelan really didn't have anything on Paxton.  This led LT Gov Patrick to say how much taxpayer dollars Phelan had wasted.  This also led to the censure of Phelan by the Texas Republican Party.  Also, Trump, Cruz, Paxton and Patrick has endorsed Covey.  So, I'm not getting a warm cozy feeling concerning Phelan.

    Reagan reacted to Bobcatfan4life in Bridge City officially opens AD/HFC/JOSH SMALLEY NAMED NEW AD/HFC   

    This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Coming from Orangefield where the Slot-T was its offense the last several seasons does not necessarily mean Bridge City will switch to it under Smalley. "I don't plan on running the Slot-T here. After playing the Cardinals last year and seeing what they've got coming back with a quarterback that can throw, some good running backs, and solid linemen I think we'll have the ability to do some different things similar to what they've been doing," Smalley analyzed.
    "At the end of the day it's going to be what does our talent base dictate that we can do and let's get good at doing that. I get labeled as a Slot-T guy because that's what I've done for twelve years, but people don't remember when I played at Bridge City we were multiple. I've coached in the Spread and have coached in just about any offense you can think of, so my knowledge base is not just Slot-T football," Smalley added.

    The Speaker cannot pass laws. The Speaker can control chair and co-chair positions and I believe deny any bill to come up for a vote.
     The Speaker cannot submit bills any different than any other member. 
    The Speaker cannot give money to his district or declare an emergency.
    So what has Phelan done (since he was the rookie in 2021) that any other Republican would have done? Appoint committee chairman? Oh wait, when the Republicans had complete control, Phelan has appointed a total of 30 Democrats to committee chairman positions. Those committee chairmen can control what bills are allowed to be voted on in committee, thereby allowing them to come to the floor of the actual House of Representatives. The committee chairman are therefore in a fairly powerful position and Phelan gave a substantial percentage to Democrats.
    So, what has this Hall of Fame, multi-state champion head coach done that the theoretical rookie head coach will not do? Appoint more Democrats instead of from his own party? I am almost positive the claimed rookie head coach would not do worse.
    Your analogy is worse than weak, it is silly. If he wins election to the House again, so be it. If the Republicans again elect him as Speaker, then they get what they deserve. Hall of Fame? Multi-state champion? You’ve got to be kidding….
    Again, I will ask, name what accomplishments that Phelan has done that another Republican would not have done in order to get conservative issues past?
     Oh yeah, his district isn’t Orange County only. It is most of Beaumont, all of Port Arthur, part of Nederland, most of Groves and Port Neches, Taylor’s Landing, Kirbyville, Jasper and so on.

    Supposedly the numbers said otherwise.  It is doubtful anyone gets 50% though so likely heading to a runoff.  You would think Covey would get most of Davis’ supporters’ votes.  But will they vote in a runoff?  And apparently Phelan is spending about a million a week right now and can he overcome any deficit by outspending if he is indeed trailing?
