I cannot remember any of the justices making a positive comment about the government's case. Does not bode well.“Every player dreams of being a Yankee, and if they don’t it’s because they never got the chance.” Aroldis Chapman -
From the ending of Gorsuch's concurring opinion in Slaughter:
The Court today takes a notable step back toward the Constitution. By recognizing that the President is entitled to remove a principal officer who exercises executive power in his name, the Court does much to vindicate what Franklin D. Roosevelt and James Madison both understood: Under our Constitution, executive power does not belong to a “headless ‘fourth branch,’” Roosevelt Committee 36, but must be exercised through a “chain of dependence” running from “the lowest officers” to “the President,” and from him to the American people, 1 Annals of Cong. 499 (J. Madison).
At the same time, it would be a grave mistake to think that step is enough on its own. The fact remains that Congress has endowed formerly independent agencies not just with executive authority, but with enormous legislative and judicial powers as well. And now the President enjoys control over all those powers too. From here, the only sure path is to finish the journey we start today and restore legislative and judicial powers to where they belong: in Congress and the courts. We have tolerated adventurous theories long enough. It is time to return, all the way, to the Constitution."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Oh, yay. Another fight for a SCOTUS judge. The constitution hangs by a thread and it’ll be the most important nomination in a generation. Again."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

It's amazing that the justices Trump nominated continue to apply decent constitutional principles to their arguments.Originally posted by Maximus View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Gorsuch dissenting surprises me. I expected Justices Alito and Thomas, and maybe Kavanaugh. That much doesn’t surprise me. But this was never as clear cut as a lot of people thought, and if you can’t convince Justices Gorsuch, that should give you pause.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

It appears that Gorsuch is ok with illegal immigrants kids being citizens, but is against birth tourism.Originally posted by All-American View PostComment
