The only problem with term limited justices is that it doesn't really remove them as a political pawn. It just makes it clear when it will be an issue.
There really needs to be more if it. If you act against the best interest of the group there should be dire consequences.
yeah maybe if these people had even an ounce of concern about their personal safety and comfort in polite society, they would stop behaving like such deranged psycopaths. posting on a message board that you hope they croak is like the least amount of pushback they deserve
The way we worship small and private business as if they deserve some exemption from the things the rest of us have to do is so weird. Kinda like churches! They certainly still use public resources. Fuck em.
Honestly, he should probably be about 7th on your list of “Supreme Court justices that you hope die” list.
More to do with the scope of the Department of Labor’s regulatory authority than a specific desire to exempt small businesses from this particular requirement
How about an octogenarian Breyer has a senior moment behind the wheel and t-bones a car carrying Kavanaugh, Barrett, Thomas and Alito in it as they carpool to work resulting in both cars exploding on contact?
After decades in the legal field and at the tail end of his life it’s so cool he gets to become a celebrity.
the absolute nerve of this massive piece of shit do us all a favor and go live your little pew pew troop pew pew fantasy in afghanistan, jake

British pollster Redfield Wilton (B/C rated) did a set of 8/20-24 polls in Ohio and Florida. The interesting note in Ohio is that gubernatorial polling looks completely divorced from senate polling. They have incumbent DeWine (R) crushing either D rival by 19-22%. In the Ohio Senate race, they have Ryan (D) above water against both Vance and Timken, but not Mandel. Mandel is 2+ among registered and 4+ among likely voters. It is looking like 2018 Senate candidate Renacci will not be able to primary DeWine, who is going to have strong coattails. They have Florida as a lost cause, with both DeSantis and Rubio running plus 9-12.
Insurrection fallout Hundreds of law enforcement officials were prepped early for potential Jan. 6 violence In addition to their Jan. 4 call, they even had a hashtag to share information on the FBI’s private communication service: #CERTUNREST2021.

They specifically discussed the possibility that the day’s gatherings would turn into a mass-casualty event, and they made plans on how to communicate with each other if that happened. The officials were so prepared for chaos that they even had a hashtag to share information on the FBI’s private communication service: #CERTUNREST2021. Spoiler These previously unreported details come from a person familiar with the call and an email summarizing it obtained by the transparency group Property of the People. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the call occurred. “Reporting indicates a significant number of individual [sic] plan to or are advocating for others to travel to Washington, DC to engage in civil unrest and violence,” reads the summary of the call, which included officials from so-called fusion centers — regional intelligence hubs set up after 9/11 to track major domestic threats. The extent of the FBI’s awareness that the rally by Trump backers could turn violent raises fresh questions about why national security and law enforcement officials didn’t do more to protect the Capitol on that volatile day. Capitol police relive horror at first Jan. 6 hearing, in 180 seconds A few days after the riot, a top FBI official told reporters that the Bureau “did not have intelligence suggesting the pro-Trump rally would be anything more than a lawful demonstration,” according to The Washington Post. But the call summary shows that hundreds of officials at fusion centers around the country in fact saw the threat coming, and that they prepared for damaging unrest days before the first rioters broke into the Capitol. A participant on the call said that the D.C fusion center, whose concerns prompted the telephone discussion, had shared information with U.S. Capitol Police about the threat — particularly notable given that the department’s since-resigned chief, Steven Sund, blamed federal intelligence agencies for the chaos during his testimony before Congress earlier this year. Mike Sena, president of the National Association of Fusion Centers, sent the Jan. 4 email to undisclosed recipients. In it, he recapped the preparation call that took place that day. “As Washington DC prepares for the Electoral Vote in Congress on January 6, and the inauguration of the President on January 20,” Sena’s email began, D.C.’s fusion center — known as the National Capital Region Threat Intelligence Consortium (NTIC) — “is working diligently to protect public safety, as well as privacy, civil rights and civil liberties.” Sena’s group hosted the call that day with representatives from the country’s 80 fusion centers because officials at NTIC were growing alarmed about information indicating Trump supporters could engage in violence on Jan. 6. On the call, they alerted officials around the country to the threats they feared would materialize on the day of the Electoral College certification. People from all over the U.S. were threatening to come to D.C. and engage in violence, they warned — including some who planned to bring guns and who indicated they were in militia groups. NTIC “has a collection requirement for individuals stating their intent to violate DC weapons laws and/or commit acts of violence at the upcoming major events in DC,” Sena wrote in his email, indicating that officials there had formally decided they needed specific intelligence on people making such threats ahead of the Jan. 6 events. Those who dialed in also discussed the possibility that the Jan. 6 protests could turn into a mass-casualty event, the call participant said. And they specifically talked about threats to the U.S. Capitol building, as well as to other state capitals. Sena and an FBI spokesperson declined to comment. A spokesperson for the NTIC did not respond to a request for comment. In response to a request for comment, a Capitol Police spokesperson flagged a previously released statement: “Based on all the intelligence the USCP received before January 6, we were aware of the potential for violence from some demonstrators. Based on the intelligence, the Department enhanced its security posture. However, no one’s intelligence revealed the large-scale demonstration would become a large-scale attack.” Sena’s email also described the FBI’s plans to use its eGuardian platform — which connects different law enforcement agencies — in the event of violence during the Jan. 6 vote to certify Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden. “FBI eGuardian will be using the tag #CERTUNREST2021 to track, organize and coordinate incoming threats related to the upcoming January 6th, 2021 meeting by Congress to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential Election,” Sena’s email said. The email then included notes from the call about Jan. 6, showing that call participants talked about specific groups that planned to descend on Washington. Names of those groups would be shared in an internal FBI database, Sena wrote, and the Department of Homeland Security would create a specific online hub “for the January 6 event.” His email also confirmed that fusion centers around the country were paying attention to Trump supporters’ activity in the lead-up to the Electoral College certification: “A number of fusion centers also reported planned car caravans this week and MAGA Drag the Interstate rallies that are reported in conjunction with ‘Occupy the Capital’.” Ryan Shapiro, executive director of the transparency watchdog group Property of the People, which obtained the email through an open records request, said it raises more questions about why the U.S. Capitol Police weren’t ready for chaos on Jan. 6. “The intelligence was there in blinking neon lights, yet Capitol Police leadership went willfully blind,” Shapiro said in a statement. “The question is why. Why did Capitol Police leadership ignore the clear threat of the coming coup?” Carrie Bachner, a former senior official in the Department of Homeland Security, said the call highlights the role fusion centers can play in preventing terrorism. “If they’re run well and coordinated well, fusion centers are the holy grail for mitigating threats,” she said. “This call shows the fusion centers were coordinating, and it’s unfortunate that the U.S. Capitol Police were not prepared properly from a resources perspective on that day.”
We’re getting awful close to a “stand down” order to law enforcement, or at least a “NBD nothing to see here” non-order.
This version of Biden gets me harder than diamonds. "Fuck around and find you limp-dicked bitches, I'll shit in your mouth after you toss my salad."
God damn I hate this mother fucker. You can just tell when it’s their handlers talking because of the right wing framing and language too.
Look at this Karen wanting to read the full terms of service before signing up for a website. We have way too many elected officials on the left that think government still runs like schoolhouse rock. GOP figured it out like 30 years ago, come the fuck on.
