    Bravo US Supreme Court! A Blow to Gerrymandering

    Oh, I'm fully aware of how the Constitution is worded. I just think if you reside in a place illegally, you shouldn't count. You certainly aren't entitled to representation. You aren't entitled to anything.

    Bravo US Supreme Court! A Blow to Gerrymandering

    On my own study and knowledge of history. Wikipedia also has plenty of words on the subject. I've been intrigued by gerrymandering since high school. I've always thought gerrymandering was kind of scummy, but as long as both sides can do it when they're in charge, what's good for the goose is...

    Bravo US Supreme Court! A Blow to Gerrymandering

    Almost exclusively in America. The Colonies, new states, and new territories. The theory in question has been the prevailing legal theory since before the Constitution was written. It's been challenged in many courts over the centuries, both state and federal, with the federal courts deferring...

    Bravo US Supreme Court! A Blow to Gerrymandering

    The authors of the Politico piece clearly live in a murky political bubble. It was hardly a fringe legal theory - it was the prevailing accepted theory for two centuries. It was long regarded as nonjusticiable political question left to the States and Congress to remedy. Democrats were very good...

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    I don't know if I buy the "fired as part of the Dominion settlement" any more than I buy the accusation that Rudy Giuliani was selling pardons for $2 million a pop. Both of those are a little too on the nose in how they hit The Left right in the feels.

    The State of the Union and the Justice System

    I think you are mostly correct. The only thing I disagree on is, "There are no independent thinkers or actors." I think we have plenty of independent thinkers and actors, not nearly enough, and the ones we have are mostly drowned out (mostly by partisan politics).

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    Faaaaaaastinating comments from a couple of women who have been there done that - Megyn Kelly and Melissa Francis.

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    Tucker has always been envious of Dave Ruben, who operates out of his home and is his own boss. That's what Tucker will do next. And as his comments in the video slightly allude to, IMNSHO, it'll be a debate-based podcast with real, meaningful debates on the topic of the day.

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    I dunno. Before Tucker that 8PM had Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly. That timeslot seems to do pretty well regardless of who the host is. It could also be considered the Kill Me timeslot because everyone who has had that slot has famously departed. Who hosted the first show after...

    Tucker Carlson Cancelled - Gone From Fox News

    A few months ago Tucker quietly bought a home next door to the one he already owns (bought in 2020) on Gasparilla Island, a barrier island in the Gulf just northwest of Fort Meyers (Florida). Make of that what you will. :cool:

    The Trump Card...

    Just as a clarification... According to the U.S. Constitution, anyone who is at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen of the United States and a U.S. resident for at least 14 years is eligible to be elected president. Because the Constitution does not mention criminal records, a person...

    The Trump Card...

    Yes and no. He's no different in that he funds to further his ideological agenda, same as the Koch brothers, et al. But what's different is his ideology has a destabilizing effect on society at large. He funds insane amounts of money to progressive liberal groups, mostly though a network of dark...

    The Trump Card...

    You should do more research into Soros, his ideology, and who he heavily funds with his dollars.

    Mass shooting du jour

    Generally speaking, Conservatives think and speak in terms of systems, where everyone has an equal opportunity. Whether it's elections, the Constitution, whatever. It's not even whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. Equal opportunity. Liberals, on the other hand, trend to speak...
