As a newcomer from EP I noticed a lack of a roleplaying community here, EP had quite a strong one so I decided to make this group, so other rp'ers could start off or meet other people, that kind of thing.
Now it's required of me to make this group priv...

You keep talking about individual decisions and I am talking about what the job of a judge is.
I am talking about the the duties and qualifications of supreme court justices and you are talking about specific decisions. Apples and oranges my friend. Also don't you find it interesting that Hillary Clinton complained about the citizens united ruling ... moreI am talking about the the duties and qualifications of supreme court justices and you are talking about specific decisions. Apples and oranges my friend. Also don't you find it interesting that Hillary Clinton complained about the citizens united ruling but too millions of dollars from the super pacs it created? If such contributions are evil why did she accept their money?

They also choose to ignore laws as they are written and sometimes make up new laws with their rulings. There has to be respect for the law. If you do not like the laws or the constitution then change them but don't ignore them or invent new "right" you think people supposedly have based on nothing other than what you as an individual think is right. That is what activist judges do and it is wrong. If we cease to be a nation of laws anarchy is the only alternative. less
Goatjumper the constitution can be changed but it goes against established law to just reinterpret the constitution to fit what a justice thinks is fair. I see nothing extremist in wanting to interpret that laws and the constitution as they are written.
All I am saying is it is the job of a supreme court justice to make decisions based on the constitution.

Democrats including president Obama say they want justices who rules based on thoughts and ideas that are in what they call the mainstream of political ideas. First of all what is and what is not in the mainstream is subject to interpretation. Liberals, at least the ones that I know, seem to think the rest of the world think like they do and they marginalize those who do not. This type of thinking give us supreme court justices who make rulings that are in line with liberal dogma. That is why I prefer supreme court justices who do not take stands on specific issues but who interpret the law and the constitution as it is written. less
Because Democrats think a supreme court justice should have views that are "mainstream" or in other words popular. the job, however, of a supreme court justice is to interpret lower court rulings in light of the constitution. That is the difference.

That is the difference. Political or social bias should have nothing to do with it.
The Cadillac tax was a tax on people who basically had a good healthcare plan. It was a dumb idea and Obama made exceptions for big labor unions who had plans that were subject to this tax.

It was a dumb idea and Obama made exceptions for big labor unions who had plans that were subject to this tax. That is another thing wrong with Obamacare, president Obama made changes to the law AFTER it was passed. Exemptions to the Cadillac tax is just one example. The Cadillac tax hurt both the poor and the rich.What cuts have been made to medicare?
Saw a B-52 at the air museum in Dayton.

It had a chart at the front of the plane that shwed all of the places it had been hit and if you looked close you could see the repair on those spots and I was like "damned, look at the hunk that mission took out and wow look at that repair". I am just like that plane.
I do not need to take the quiz to know I am a B-52, a heavy bomber. It is a big plane that can take a lot of hits and keep flying. That is me all over!

Love you screen name! I had a friend of mine I used to shoot pool with and he would get drunk and call the female bartenders "babydoll", and most of them did not like the term. They would tell him over and over they were not his babydoll but the drunker he got the more he used the term. I learned to drive separate when I went drinking with him! That whay when he got out of hand I could just leave.

Sorry about the ex. I have one of those too (sort of we are separated, cannot afford a divorce), but I have a new woman in my life who treats me well.
