2A advocates should pray for a full recovery

Die boomers so's we can replace your azz with an ideologically vetted mannequin seems a bit ghoulish but here we are.
Boomers, work behind the scenes using the knowledge and understanding of politics you have gained over decades to promote younger candidates that will lead our country into the future.

We have a lot of folks who want to be kings not king makers. Pelosi and Mcconnell have been so busy hiding their horcruxes they have forgotten to groom proteges
 
Question and I don't know the answer was just thinking about this, could being political be described as adhering to a dogma rather than a logical construct.

My thesis is that neither party maintain a consistent logical paradigm "picky and choosey" is my critique.

Therefore in my mind "political" justices are those that depart from their central constitutional believe, textualist etc. on certain issues but not others. "Oh I think this away about all these things, but then guns I through that out"

How to you feel about using that bar to look at jurists?

Is that all bullshit?
Not really responding to those ?s directly, but in my view, most all of SCOTUS justices are political animals - just read their bios. Presidents rarely snap up disinterested bystanders for the court. What confounds some of the bucketing is the surface inconsistency that often can be aligned if one digs deeper. While starting to feel a bit dated after the populist rise in the GOP, Thomas Sowell's book Conflict of Visions does provide a construct for how some seemingly inconsistent views are in fact entirely consistent.

Horcruxes no less, bravo sir . . .
 
If you had a compelling vision and a snappy tik tok stream you could have it in a week.


I don't begrudge AOC or MTG types..

They simply ridded themselves of self awareness, original thought, common sense, and exploited the system we have.

On judges though.


My son to play high school football, had to take cognitive tests to create a baseline for judging concussion symptoms against.

Doesn't seem unfair to do the same to judges. There whole job is supposed to be mental, if that's slips, they should be replaced.


I mean grandpa didn't like us taking his keys, but after 3wrecks, he knew it was time

If the young radicals play their cards right, they can become entrenched establishment in about 30 years. Patience grasshopper.
 
100% disagree, the barrier has never been lower. All you have to do is be angry, cast blame far and wide, make a lot of noise.
How is the entry barrier low when realistically only one person has a chance to win election - the incumbent?


Almost Certain to Keep Their Jobs​

Incumbent members of the House seeking re-election are all but assured re-election. The re-election rate among all 435 members of the House has been as high as 98 percent in modern history

Or they can cut right to the front of the line with name recognition.

In the last two cycles 1/3 of the newly elected US senators had zero prior political experience.

I'll agree with your point, once you're in, you're in. But when a seat opens up, anyone can get in, except that no one who'd be halfway decent wants it.
