Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

But I'm curious what Ms. #metoo would say if her husband said some dude could "have her on Thursdays" to keep them from retiring.
Somehow I just don't see that going over so well.Last edited by Eddie; 05-23-2019, 04:08 PM.

Interesting results from the Court today.
They blocked the government from adding the Citizenship question. That one was probably doomed when the memos leaked about the administration's real intent being to under-count minorities.
However, IMO, Roberts wimped out on the gerrymandering case, even admitting in his opinion that:
“Our conclusion does not condone excessive partisan gerrymandering."
Also calling partisan gerrymandering "unjust" and "incompatible with democratic principles."
I like states rights arguments most of the time, but come on Roberts, this one is just wimpy. Now when the pendulum swings the other way the dems are free to do the same thing. Both are wrong.
So the decision is basically,
Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you.
It would have been fun if he'd quoted the great president Van Buren.
Lame.
But the political tide on this is going in the other direction I think, and this decision will just serve to beat that drum louder. So for the long term I'm not as worried about it.Last edited by BlueK; 06-27-2019, 08:55 AM.

George Washington with his warning of the dangers of political parties is not impressed.
I miss Justice Kennedy.
Still, I think this decision will only serve to spur on the anti-gerrymandering movement because now they can use the Chief Justice's own words to make their case.Last edited by BlueK; 06-27-2019, 09:05 AM.

I agree with UT on this. This isn't just a Republican issue. It is a power issue, although Maryland is the only Democratic leaning state that has an issue currently.
I'm torn on the supreme courts decision. I hate gerrymandering, but I don't know if handing down a decree on it is the way to go. The states and ultimately the people need to address it.

It’s hard for people’s voices to be heard when their legislative seats are gerrymandered to hell
