Yes, the courts do make rulings, but that’s not the same as actually writing a bill/law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 To put a super majority on the court for decades to represent a dying minority would not stand. But this is not, by any reasonable measure, the largest problem evangelicals face. It is, instead, the massive sell-off of evangelicalism among the young. About 26 percent of Americans 65 and older identify as white evangelical Protestants. Among those ages 18 to 29, the figure is 8 percent. Why this demographic abyss does not cause greater panic — panic concerning the existence of evangelicalism as a major force in the United States — is a mystery and a scandal. With their focus on repeal of the Johnson Amendment and the right to say “Merry Christmas,” some evangelical leaders are tidying up the kitchen while the house burns down around them. Why is that point so low? There are a number of reasons, but one of them, Campbell argued, is “an allergic reaction to the religious right.” This sets up an irony. “One of the main rationales for the very existence of this movement was to assert the role of religion in the public square in America. And, instead, what’s happening in that very movement has actually driven an increasing share of Americans out of religion.” This alienation preceded the current president, but it has intensified during the Trump era. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/evangelical-leaders-are-tidying-the-kitchen-while-the-house-burns-down/2019/08/29/49d09a14-ca95-11e9-a4f3-c081a126de70_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade was completely invented and made law by the SC and we still are arguing every single jot and tittle of this outrageous decision (before one bothers to put MORAL concerns into it) quite an accomplishment!!! in Canada, jury nullification during the trial of the most publicity seeking abortionist has resulted in practically no law whatsoever for 35?? years, and no Parliament would dare resurrect the issue.

row_33 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 --------------------------------------------- and by the way, if you retain lawyers to do work that has accounting or tax issues, INSIST they hire accountants to do this work quite often firms are giving this work to junior staff, delusionally thinking they can take the stand instead of certified accountants for expert witness testimony it is a pure pleasure to destroy them with 3 basic questions that they cannot answer about accounting, getting all their work bounced.

keepthefaith Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Trump should announce his next judge appointment now and have the Senate take it up. No reason not too. If RBG is gonna hang on til death due to spite, then Trump should appoint a replacement so that the court has 9 healthy judges. It's like getting a new puppy when the old dog is on its last legs. 38 minutes ago, Nanker said: When she does eventually pass, it will be interesting to see how the media treats her passing as compared to that of Anton Scalia.
