Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • You’re seriously misunderstanding my comment if you think I’m a tankie. Hell I even posted a comment in another thread mentioning my distaste for the “dictatorship of the proletariat” concept.

    My comment was about the fact that we openly refer to a judges political beliefs to inform us of how we should feel about them because the judiciary has gotten so broken that we can essentially tell how a judge will rule based on their political leanings as opposed to simply following the law. I didn’t mean to say “we only have liberal and conservative judges” as some lamentation of the lack of leftist judges.



  • If the judges have those personal beliefs and a case related to that comes before them I’d want them to consider the law not their personal beliefs, so we shouldn’t have to be identifying them in this way.

    We’ve come to identify them by their political leaning because it has come to the point that we get rulings based on their political leaning as opposed to what the law says. Hell it’s why muskrat was pushing for “his” judge to win. He knew that the judge he backed would rule in his favor and we know he would have ruled in favor of Republicans plans for gerrymandering when that absofucukinglutly should not be the case. :(














  • "Courts do not have their own armies or significant police forces. Yet leaders typically obey judges’ orders, because of the political costs of flouting them.

    Usually, voters won’t reward their elected leaders for violating norms, disrupting a stable constitutional order, or taking actions that are intrinsically unlawful, said Aziz Huq, a law professor at the University of Chicago and co-author of the book “How to Save a Constitutional Democracy.”

    But that calculus may not apply to Mr. Trump, who has based his political appeal on gleefully flouting sacrosanct norms. Refusing to accept courts’ authority may actually appeal to the president’s base, Huq said, if they take it as evidence of strength rather than lawlessness."
