Merrick Garland is a man beyond repute, seems like there are other reasons you do not like him.

You all should probably cool it with antisemitism, it is not a good look.

i don't have any trouble with Garland's morals, or ethics, the only real issue i have with him is he still seems to be in Judge mode, and he needs to be in headhunter mode...a sense of urgency would be reassuring...24 years behind the bench seems to have dulled his

Agreed, fuck the narrative, go for the jugular.

Shouldn't have to spoon feed you lol.


sounds good, hope she has quick success, i've always said that trump packed the court, and the "justices" he appointed were in fact embedded assets for the republicans and magats...hope they pass it quick, and appoint the 4 most liberal candidates they can find, restore RvW, shut down texas' bullshit, shut down florida's bullshit, restore and expand campaign finance rules, shut down illegal gerrymandering, revoke restrictive unconstitutional election laws, and while they're at it, shit down the fucking archaic, easily manipulable electoral college...

COngress should pass a law that if Corporations are people, then the entire board of directors should bare the responsibility for any illegal actions of the Corporations, and that all the directors should do the time of the verdict. SO if the Chairman is guilty and gets 20 years, every director should do 20 years too.:clap:
No.

Imagine being a decent person who is part of the minority opinion. While I agree that the culpable should be bled white, I suggest restricting the punishment to proven individual
malefactors.

Bottom line: their immorality does not free us to be equally or similarly evil as they are, even in retaliation.

i'm not so sure about that, i've always dug that Hamurabi dude's ideas...and not in a metaphorical way...the punishment should suit the crime...brand "LIAR" across trump's forhead, and greene's, and boebert's...leave gosar alone in a forest with a whole tribe of native hunters looking for him...dump cruz in a cold projects courtyard when the power goes out, with no where to go, and no way to keep himself or his family warm...

I agree with the principle. But a just elaboration is not simple in any way, if it acknowledges our individuality.

you're saying that any expression of creativity in punishment means you're using it as entertainment as well as punishment? so what? an element of public shaming should be included in most punishments, or they are much less effective...being caned sucks, but being caned with your neighbors watching, aware of why you're being caned, that's a real incentive to never find yourself in that situation again. we watch worse on tv daily.

No, not at all. Shaming is your passion.

no, it's an effective tool to teach people what not to do, but i won't say there isn't a little schadenfreude to it now and then
That sounds a bit like the debunked argument for corporal punishment. I think neither that nor Schadenfreude are especially useful impulses when the necessary thing is to isolate the malefactors, not put them on circus display. That says poor things about the society doing the punishing.

yes, it does, and they deserve to be said...this is a shitty, thoughtless, self centered, self entitled society...you expect it to watch the sound of music and sing the do-re-mi song together?
at least half the people on the planet are deplorable pieces of crap, and i don't have time to deal with them anymore. George Carlin joked about fencing off the squarish states and dumping all the crazy fuckers in them...i always thought it sounded like a good idea, and a hell of a pay per view event
