Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #250 – 2016-11-17, 10:54:13 Bloody history? You lot are not very old a country but just look how bloody you lot have been. More killed in the Civil War than in WW2? You heaved troops right up to the calling of the 1918 truce in WW1 and was disgraceful. Wars since the 2nd WW so we don't need any history lessons from you lot. And that attempt at Protestantism and Jews? However in reasonableness I make allowances for you being an American.As for law and such in the ex-colonies it is a general farce anyway. Sentences going into a hundred years and plus. Some 2.3 million in jails and more of a sense of revenge than much else in decisions.
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #251 – 2016-11-18, 00:42:13 Is the f***ing judge already been substituted ??
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #252 – 2016-11-18, 01:10:39 Nope! (I don't see the need for your foul language, though.) Scalia's "seat" is a euphemism for our continued ideological dialogue: Most Dems think that ideology is all that matters (…if you're flush! Power to the Important People!) Republicans generally believe our traditional institutions matter more.I'm pretty sure you have such factions in your country…?

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #254 – 2016-11-18, 01:24:30 I don't know that Scalia ever did… But that's how prejudice works: You start with animosity, progress to unfounded belief and, then, generalize! You'd have made a bad judge… (Better the criminals just kill each other, and whoever else gets in their way; and the cops sometimes shoot them. Much more "civilized," eh? The old "let God sort 'em out" theory of justice"! )
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #255 – 2016-11-18, 11:39:44 Well Belfrager just as well you are a distance away as I was a magistrate for 12 years.

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #257 – 2016-11-19, 21:43:42 I suppose Americans are very much worried abut a constitucional judge. Not the kind that sends people to executions but the kind that allows the others for doing it. No different from China.F**ck both.As for Rjhowie "The Magistrate", don't make me laugh.
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #258 – 2016-11-20, 09:06:21 I'd watch that show. The only question is whether he's the good Magistrate frustrated by business interests or the evil Magistrate in bed with the mob. Or perhaps the seemingly boring Magistrate who dresses up at night to fight crime?
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #259 – 2016-11-20, 19:32:56 Daft Yank, oops I mean Oakdale. It wasn't abolished.
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #260 – 2016-11-20, 23:24:34 Thought it was, in 1994... Wikipedia is notoriously unreliable…To get back to Scalia: This City Journal piece is "interesting"!The finale:QuoteTrump promised to appoint Scalia’s successor from an outstanding list of judges. This promise gave comfort to all parts of the Republican coalition, not least because Scalia had made the importance of the Supreme Court so obvious to them all. It is a tribute to Scalia’s intellect and style that even in death, he may well have elected a president of the United States.Sang, this one's for you: “A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy,” the late Justice Antonin Scalia warned in his dissent in the Court’s 2015 gay-marriage case, Obergefell v. Hodges." Last Edit: 2016-11-22, 00:28:23 by OakdaleFTL

Who said this was to be the case? But in republican fashion, the SCOTUS and lower courts were always to vet the popular fashions for constitutionality. Of course, your man Trump hasn't even read the document....
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #262 – 2016-11-23, 00:48:09 Neither have you, Sang. Or, if you have, you've not understood it…Can you explain to me how the federal government has any express power to deal with marriage or abortion? Or gay sex? It's the progressive impulse that makes people think that government must control everything…Again, I call that ideology fascist!

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #264 – 2016-11-27, 04:10:40 Nonsense, Smiley… You know he doesn't understand "discouraging" words! In his world, it's either total victory or abject terror. And, for those with whom he disagrees, the reverse.I'd still prefer the ideal of federalism, states as laboratories of democracy.

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #265 – 2016-12-17, 07:45:07 Here's an interesting case I ran across recently… (Only the wonkish should read it! )But for those who aren't wonkish about law but are about logic there's a simple solution: If the evidence isn't sufficient to convict on "the preponderance" it can't be sufficient to convict on the basis of "beyond a reasonable doubt."You syllogism users correct me, if I'm wrong? Of course, lawyers don't use logic, if they can avoid it!BTW: I think Scalia would have applauded this decision… And so should his replacement. Even Rush Limbaugh says "words mean something!"

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #266 – 2016-12-19, 03:08:35 You cannot expect sense from Smiley, OakdaleFTL. After all he supports a neo-Marxist cause (not his emblem!).

But that's understandible: It was in English. Still, you -like most "progressives" I've met- pick an opinion of an opponent to demonize, and forever after ignore their arguments! It's enough that you've found a demonizing opinion… And your intellect needs nothing more.Smiley has indeed shown more than sympathy for the IRA… But that hardly justifies your enmity: As usual, you were a bystander.
Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #268 – 2016-12-20, 01:53:40 A Yank moaning to me about the English language the way you lot mispronounce so much of it??As for me being unfair to Smiley's stance on the SF being unfair? A long history of murder, bloodshed and evil and where did much of the money to exercise the evil - the good ole US of A. There are a great many people in the Republic of Ireland too who have no time for the terrorists. as well Those who were voted in as MP's refuse to sit in Westminster so their constituencies have no representation but that lot get the money, eh? They are also very left wing so how can a corporate mind like him be thinking they are so wonderful.You gave have overdone it this time you plonker.

I don't particularly care what their politics or economics are.........bottom line they are for a Unified Ireland for the Irish ..... Socialists ......... who cares ...... willing to forcibly purge all loyalists that pledge allegiance to the crusty bitch once & for all, & besides I don't have to live with their politics or economic results .......... that's theirs to decide ...... it's called Freedom of Choice for a United Ireland. That said --- back in topic:I firmly believe that President Trump will submit a strong Conservative Constitutionalist for Scalia's replacement.

Re: Replacing Supreme Court Judge Antonin Scalia Reply #270 – 2016-12-22, 01:34:28 You are doing a kid on there Smiley! The SF apart from being a murderous bunch of mental midgets are very leftist which YOU aren't so you fall back on an excuse re yourself. The old out of date stance on a united Ireland is history even in the Republic and that is why that ountry re-did it's Constitution and dropped the claim to the ulster Counties. SF will never be in power in either north or south Ireland so wail away boy and babble on! The majority of people in the South have come in a great deal with improvements in education pushing the control of the men in black out of political control and so on. The modernisation and improvement south of the Border is constructive and the changes have sometime been a slap in the face for your outmoded dribble. It must be about ten years ago now that the Irish Government donated a large 6-figure donation to the 50 Orange Lodges they have there as the people in them are regarded in their communities as a small population. Change days indeed. Former President McAleese visited the Order's HQ in Belfast and the impressive museum and culture centre and good for her. She also visited halls in the South as President so dear man you are living in the past.So out of date man do wax away in your Irish-American dreamboat as a united country is not going to happen!
