$5,002.01

I wanna ban Deci

$5,003.69, and I'll allow you to ban Deci

I bid $5,001

Just so I can ban Deci

Why not ban me right now? I really don't see what's stopping you. Why pay that much just to ban me? That's a waste of money.

Because then I gotta deal with LC and all the paperwork. Such a hassle

Deal, but only if I can also bring kinder back

I've been down for unbanning everyone currently permabanned.

Ever think that you making these threads, and then coming back, is a reason you're routinely mocked?

Except I didn't make this thread.

Ah yes. This was the thread that came about from you being moronic and giving your account to someone else.

Forgive me, that helps bolster your standing.

Serious / Democrats are one vote short of blocking DeVos's confirmation

Quote
Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said Wednesday that they intend to vote against confirmation of President Trump’s education secretary nominee, Betsy DeVos, giving Democrats two of at least three Republican votes they would need to block her appointment.

Both senators said that while they appreciate DeVos’s efforts to help at-risk children through advocating for vouchers and charter schools, they are concerned that DeVos lacks the experience needed to lead the nation’s public schools. DeVos has no professional experience in public schools, and she did not attend public schools herself or send her own children to them.

“She appears to view education through the lens of her experience of promoting alternatives to public education in Detroit and other cities where she has no doubt done valuable work,” Collins said. “I’m concerned that Mrs. Devos’s lack of experience with public schools will make it difficult for her to fully understand, identify and assist with those challenges, particularly for our rural schools in states like Maine.”

Murkowski said children in rural communities across Alaska depend on a strong public school system.

“I take very personally the success of Alaska’s schools and Alaska schoolchildren,” Murkowski said. “I believe that my colleagues here in the United States Senate and the many, many that they represent have the right to debate these questions.” She added: “I conclude my remarks to make clear that my colleagues know firmly that I do not intend to vote on final passage to support Mrs. DeVos to be secretary of education.”

Forty-eight senators caucus with Democrats. If all of them vote as a bloc against DeVos, and if they are joined by Murkowski and Collins, the vote to confirm would be 50-50. In that event, Vice President Pence — a staunch DeVos supporter — would cast the tie-breaking vote.

Both DeVos and Sessions are not waiting on full Senate votes - so I wouldn't be shocked if Mitch tries and push her through while Sessions can still help them.

That being said, I look forward to Trump's twitter blast against them

Not really, I went right before going down for "refurbishment". The only thing political coming out of it was the crowd of people who don't like Bush even when they're not saying anything. Besides, it's not courteous and is disrespectful to other people who are just trying to get away from all the backlash. Some people are coming over from other parts of the world on vacation, why should they have to have part of their stay soured because people are taking a problem that wasn't there and forcing it in?

It's literally the Hall of Presidents, in a section of the park devoted to our independence, history, revolution, blah blah blah. Let's not pretend like it's never had some connection to political events and discourse.

Alright, let's get two things out of the way.

First off, you and I both know the company will work with cast in that section of the park (and that attraction), and with security to ensure any disruption is minimal. They know how to handle these kinds of issues.

Second off, you're gonna try and say a section devoted to our revolution and subsequent line of leaders isn't political?

Unfortunately I doubt most people will be unable to tell if Disney will give him something good because there'll undoubtedly be booing during the whole speech.

I really wonder what a Trump speech would look like. He's not exactly the most inspiring.

I'm not too sure if drug companies making less money is decidedly all that good.

Actually, I'd probably want the pharmaceutical industry in particular to be making as much money as possible.

It really depends where that money is going towards,

The White House has allegedly made identical Twitter accounts for Hardiman and Gorsuch - nothing for Pryor.

He's literally treating this nomination like the finale to a TV show.

Personally pulling for Pryor.

He's pretty much out of the running from what I've seen - Trump wants someone who can get approved without having Mitch pull the nuclear option. Pryor was confirmed with such a smaller margin in compared to the other two that it's riskier.

Gorsuch. I'm just waiting for the impeachment/resignation though. I like some of his ideas. He is a man of action. But I cannot support most of his actions.

Impeachment of Trump?

So Trump is announcing his pick to fill Scalia's seat tonight at 8pm - most sources have whittled it down to the three names in the poll (Though Pryor is now considered a long shot for the spot). Go ahead and pick who you think.

Some details of each:

Gorsuch

Quote
Judge Neil Gorsuch, 49, is on President Donald Trump's short list for appointment to the Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated a year ago by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

Gorsuch has the typical pedigree of a high court justice. He graduated from Columbia, Harvard and Oxford, clerked for two Supreme Court justices and did a stint at the Department of Justice.

“The real appeal of Gorsuch nomination is he’s likely to be the most effective conservative nominee in terms of winning over Anthony Kennedy and forging conservative decisions on the court,” said Jeffrey Rosen of the National Constitution Center. “He’s unusual for his memorable writing style, the depth of his reading and his willingness to rethink constitutional principles from the ground up. Like Justice Scalia, he sometimes reaches results that favor liberals when he thinks the history or text of the Constitution or the law require it, especially in areas like criminal law or the rights of religious minorities, but unlike Scalia he’s less willing to defer to regulations and might be more willing to second-guess Trump’s regulatory decision.”

Hardiman

Quote
Judge Thomas Hardiman, 51, is on President Donald Trump's short list for appointment to the Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated a year ago by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

If chosen, Hardiman would be the only Supreme Court justice not to have attended either Harvard or Yale — a selling point that his boosters have used to push his candidacy to Trump, who has railed against the political elites ever since the launch of his presidential campaign.

As a justice, Hardiman would be unlikely to swing the ideological balance on the court. Legal experts see him as largely falling in line with the conservative bloc, as Scalia did.

A 2007 ruling Hardiman wrote upheld the constitutionality strip searches of jail prisoners regardless of how minor an offense they were accused of. The Supreme Court later endorsed his decision, 5-4.

While Hardiman has backed First Amendment rights in the context of political donations, he took a narrower view in a 2010 suit over an arrest for videotaping a police officer during a traffic stop, holding that there was no clearly established First Amendment right to record such an event.

Hardiman won favor with gun rights advocates for a 2013 dissent that said New Jersey was violating the Second Amendment to the Constitution by requiring those seeking to carry a handgun to demonstrate a “justifiable need” for such a permit.

Pryor

Quote
Pryor is a standout favorite among many constitutional conservatives for his uncompromising, often caustic criticism of the leading liberal Supreme Court decisions. He has called Roe v. Wade, the 1973 abortion rights ruling, “the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history.” As an outspoken elected attorney general of Alabama, he often blasted federal judges.

“The courts have imposed results on a wide range of issues, including racial quotas, school prayer, abortion and homosexual rights. Those issues belong in Congress and the state legislature,” he wrote in a 1997 Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Pryor made it onto the 11th Circuit in 2004 via a rare recess appointment from President George W. Bush after Senate Democrats blocked a vote on Pryor’s nomination for nearly a year. He was confirmed on a 53-45 vote in 2005 as part of the so-called “Gang of 13” deal that allowed approval of several stalled Bush judicial nominees but preserved the right to filibuster.

While Pryor’s record as an appeals court judge has been staunchly conservative, he surprised many legal observers in 2011 by joining a decision holding that some discrimination against transgender individuals is prohibited by constitutional doctrine forbidding sex discrimination.

Alright, let's try to get back on topic and all that.

I think this thread - and the subject - has been beaten dead, resuscitated, and beat dead again over the course of the past few days. Not much more we can discuss right now, unless you want me to tell you why it's likely going to be upheld as legal in the courtrooms.

If this ends up leading to something productive (And by productive, I mean lowering drug prices without giving pharmaceutical companies tax breaks), then I see nothing wrong.

This thread was pretty active. Guess it died down when Trump said he supports gays. Only president ever to openly support gays before and after being elected.

No, it's because trying to discuss issues with you is like trying to move a brick wall. Even when you're openly wrong with facts, you digress to the state of an emotional child who throws insults and acts like he knows everything. I really don't care that you support Trump or have a conservative world view - but I give up trying to have a discussion on it.

That being said, yes. I agree with Trump's decision not to rescind protections for LGBT federal employees and will applaud him for it. Doesn't mean it changes my stance on everything else so far.
As for the Arab name thing, I literally heard with my own 2 ears the police were looking for 2 guys with arab names on their radio feed that night. Guess it was misinformation on their part.

And on your part to run with it as fact, decry anything else as "media bias", etc. Just say you were wrong and own up to it.

Though I don't just blame you - Fox News has yet to redact their story from yesterday claiming the Moroccan man was a suspect.
