Oral arguments are really the least important part of an appeal. Sometimes you can change a judge's mind or get one off the fence by clarifying a point for them, but decisions are mostly made based on the briefs. And what happens if they're wearing boxers? For the record, does anyone from the SC actually check in on her to make sure she's still alive and cognizant? If she's not able to speak and no one has seen her, what is the assurance that she is indeed alive and capable of doing her job? Asking for a friend.

The rules are quite clear: boxers are unacceptable. Rule 3.14(i)(5)(ix) requires tighty-whities or gtfo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. If she's in late stage lung cancer she could be really incapacitated and heavily drugged with opiates. It would not put it past the Dems to do a Weekend at Bernie's with her until 2020.

B-Man Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 White House plans to send 50 judicial nominees to new Congress (CNN)The White House on Tuesday night announced its intention to renominate 50 judicial nominees, rekindling a battle between Republicans, who hope to capitalize on their record-breaking judicial success from the last Congress, and Democrats, who have lashed out at some of President Donald Trump's more controversial nominees. The names were put forward again on Tuesday because their nominations weren't acted upon before the end of the last congressional session. The new nominations come as key players in the judicial confirmation wars are no longer involved. Former White House counsel Don McGahn -- who considered judicial nominees one of his top priorities -- has left the administration and former Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, has moved over to the Finance Committee. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/22/politics/white-house-judicial-nominees/index.html?utm_content=2019-01-23T03%3A52%3A18&utm_source=twCNN&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I have one specifically... The record number of judicial appointments continues, and will continue under Graham. The appointing of conservative (legally speaking) judges will do lasting good for the country long after Trump is gone. Grassley is not running for another term. He steered the ship through the discovery phase of the process while behind the scenes the party was cleansed of No-Name's *****ery. Now that the judicial committee will be moving into a new, more aggressive phase of the roll out - and now that No Name isn't around to hold people hostage - Graham and his legal background make more sense to head the committee than a lame duck Chuck who never practiced law. Chuck still has important work to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ruth Bader Ginsburg watch nears the end of its second month American Thinker, by Taylor Day Original Article It has been 54 days since the public laid eyes on the 85-year-old Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her absence is prompting calls for proof of life. The last time she was seen was on December 6, 2018, when she heard arguments in person at the Court. Since then, she underwent surgery on December 21 of last year after two cancerous growths from her left lung were discovered and removed. All official statements have been issued by people close to her and meant to assure the public that she is recovering quietly. It is the middle of the court's session. How would this be covered, if it was Justice Thomas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the article reminds us about the calls to see Melania when she was out of the spotlight for 19 days. Quote Some left-leaning voices have condemned the calls for proof that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still capable of performing her duties as justice. In a display of hypocrisy that is now too common, here is an article from CNN demanding the same confirmation after First Lady Melania Trump avoided the public for 19 days after a minor operation. Dems must be pissing themselves right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
