How any Federal Judge does not know the important facts in the landmark "Dred Scott" decision that confirmed African Americans whether slaves or free had no right to citizenship under our constitution is beyond me.

She needs a full refund from whatever law school she went to

She is being evasive by design....
Amazing how many of the people ripping her now just recently voted to confirm her to a job as a federal judge. Now they now claim she is the worst possible;e candidate fo the SC. Didn't they do their homework before their last vote?

Notice who is posting against her.

They are literally led around by their alt right media.
 
They just can’t help themselves. If Thomas croaks soon it is really going to get ugly on the next one.
 
Yes, unlike every single other nominee ever who were honest and forthright with answers.
That was the point I was making....that being evasive is by design or the strategy. I never said she was the only nominee ever to do that or even alluded to that view point.

I see one person posting against her...I see no they. Would she be my choice? Nope she is way to moderate for may taste.....but she isn't any worse than the current Progressives on the SC.

It's human nature, of course.
 
I'm more and more amazed (and less and less surprised) at the human capability to dehumanize someone in one's mind so much that they can wish for a fellow human's death. It's disgusting.

Well put...and this goes to both political spectrums, and we see it in our daily interactions. Saddens me to think were we are heading if we continue this path.

Hope everyone has actually watched the young lady being roasted by the GOP senators and slobbered on by the Dems.

She impressed.

That is Human nature and it's a evolutionary trait of survival. While in modern society we view it as disgusting that has been the Norm of our species from the dawn of time. Tribalism has reigned supreme in the effort to acquire and protect resources, family and friends. It even goes so far that when they brain map humans looking at people from other cultures, religions, and races in distress the Brain doesn't register the same volume of empathy. Even one study showed that the closer a person looks to yourself the more the brain will fire to show empathetic emotions.

Now with that said as humans we can override our instinct and use rational thought to tamp down those encoded traits.

But clearly some on this board have dark triad traits and feel justified in making sure their moral beliefs override the individual moral beliefs of the other side.
 
Ask a scientist. Oh wait....GOPers don't trust science now.

Quite a conundrum we have here!
Nice inflammatory response. A lot of GOP's trust science it was the other side who was anti-vax until Covid came along. Which is ironic. What a lot of GOP's didn't trust was the Govt and the strange Agenda that the began enacting... Aka mandates/Lockdowns and then public consequences of not vaxing, clearly policies that overreached and then add in the Public Shaming bigotry for being a individual and making Individual choices and deciding not to vax obviously was what caused the divide ..... There is about a 10%-12% gap between Dem's and Rep's on vax rates. And I suspect that most of that 12% is just being oppositional and defiant to a degree, they know they don't fall in the category of Morbidity issues so they are refusing the vax or boosters, which they know per the science is not that big of gamble for the and their survival rate.

Plenty of people have made this argument. I doubt you want your name associated with them. You know what else has occurred since the dawn of time that we now consider unacceptable? Child marriage. In your mind, is that more or less acceptable than the ingrained racism that you mention? Aren’t conservatives the lot that think theorizing critically about race is bunk?

as long as you theorize critically about all aspects of race. Like Barr said a couple of weeks ago, if black people didnt commit so many more crimes than other races they wouldnt be interacting with cops at a much higher rate. Systemic racism is nothing but a smokescreen for the real problems out there that polite people dont want to talk about these days

Who commits the majority of white collar crimes? Don't see those folks being targeted.

It's even evident in which drugs have which penalties historically.
are you telling me that the sentence in statute is different for a white guy who is caught with a pound of weed vs a black person who is caught with a pound of weed??? I dont think so TIm

Those are the same drugs.

Try again.

Think more like...weed or heroin vs cocaine.

the sentencing guidelines for heroin and cocaine dont call out different sentences that are determined by the accused race do they??

possession of different drugs have different penalties, how the heck is that racist??

Historically cocaine sentences were much less than other banned substances.

And yes cocaine was tagged a 'white' drug.

I could care less what color someone tags a drug, but if that is true then we should increase the sentences for cocaine. People act like that poor black people are the only folks getting arrested and going to jail for drug crimes. More than twice as many white people are arrested and convicted for drug offenses than black people and thats a fact. They ALL need put in jail first offense for possession of any controlled substance for a year. If someone gets caught SELLING any amount of any controlled substance then they should go to jail for life. We would win the war on drugs that is bleeding our society dry if we increased the penalties so that they were an actual deterrent.

Of course there are more whites arrested for drugs. Blacks make up 13% of the population.

You should contact your reps about your plan. Then get ready to pay for 50x more prisons.

You couldn't care less?

no I could care less. I guess it might make some difference if only a certain race uses a certain drug and in that case it might be a problem. if I was at the point my position was it doesnt matter just let them all kill each other then at that point i couldn't care less

But that's not what you said that you "could care less" about. You said "I could care less what color someone tags a drug, but if that is true then we should increase the sentences for cocaine. " You meant "I couldn't care less what color someone tags a drug..."

The penalties for crack—black street drug
were much greater than the sentences for white collar Coke being sniffed on Wall Street by the crackers. Literally everyone knows that was true. And we know why.
