This is the product of the last 70 years of Executive expansion, left largely unchallenged, which has created established government precedent of practice; and the body of Constitutional law and stare decisis which has supported it. This is organic, is a product of generation on top of generation of Leviathan, and isn't limited by political party. The only way to avoid it, in fact, would be to only appoint strict constructionists to the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 If there is a better thread for this, plmk and I will post it in that thread. ? The move sets up the potential for weeks of virtually continuous sessions of the Senate, although it is more likely that a bipartisan agreement will be reached at least ahead of the long Labor Day weekend. The list of 17 nominees is highlighted by Richard Clarida to the Federal Reserve and a slew of Trump nominees to fill federal judgeships in seats across the country. /snip If senators were to object to time agreements, the Senate could literally spend weeks doing little other than considering the nominations, a move that complicates much of the legislative agenda for the rest of the year, particularly when it comes to finishing consideration of government spending bills before the end of the fiscal year on September 30.

DC Tom Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 3 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: His horoscope? No. But let's look at his sports coverage for his college newspaper, and...yep, he's a Nazi. Quote Laurence Tribe, a Harvard Law professor who mentored Barack Obama, zeroed in on the lead sentence in Kavanaugh’s account of a midseason game against Cornell: “In basketball, as in few other team sports, it is possible for one person to completely dominate a game.” Was this a harmless observation? Tribe noted, “Kavanaugh’s seeming fascination with single-player domination might be a muscular view of executive power.” On the other hand, he found a departure from Kavanaugh’s typical jurisprudence in “Dartmouth Rally Upends Streak.” “Kavanaugh complained that the refs let the game ‘get completely out of control’ as Dartmouth players ‘consistently hammered’ a Yalie ‘without the whistle blowing’ once,” Tribe said. “One might see in that a rare early condemnation of judicial restraint.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Quote The White House has pushed to withhold more than 100,000 pages of records related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's time as White House lawyer during the George W. Bush administration. Bush's attorney Bill Burck informed the Senate Judiciary Committee of the Trump administration's decision to withhold the documents in a letter to the panel on Friday. The Trump administration is withholding the documents on the basis of presidential privilege, according to the letter provided by the White House to The Hill.
