Justice Neil Gorsuch worries me
Quoted here:
"Originalism says the rights of the Constitution that were given in
1789 are the rights you enjoy today and they can never be taken -- and
if you want to add to them, we the people add to them," Gorsuch told
Bream.
Add rights? You mean like a right to healthcare? A home? A pony?
The original Bill of Rights enshrines the chartered rights of Englishmen which were perceived by the first Americans to have been abused by England's king. They are old rights, anciently memorialized in the long history of England's Christian civilization. While not exhaustive in an ideological sense, it is dubious to assert we can just invent new rights such as those out of thin air if we want to. The list is pretty complete as it is.
Amending the Constitution is not the same thing as "adding rights". If it is, we're all in trouble.

Judd Gregg, Senate author of TARP bank bailouts which picked bank winners, calls Trump conservative in name only
Judd Gregg's idea of a conservative president is one who abandons free market principles in order to save the free market system.
There is probably nothing short of runaway inflation that does more
damage to a market economy than to have the government pick who is going
to be successful and who is not. It perverts the fundamental purpose of a free market, which is to
allow the forces of private exchange to decide the winners and losers in
commerce.
Apparently it took the Army a whole year to get rid of this guy, but Vindman, sheesh
I love how my New Oxford American Dictionary comes up with it right away when I forget how to spell "Che Guevara".
Only 6 shopping days left until the first anniversary of Trump's government shutdown, which ended in a total cave on the wall
You have your Avelut, I have mine.

Your reminder that we won't be getting Trump's promised border wall made of "hardened concrete, rebar and steel set in nice heavy foundations", just Jeb's fence
He lied to that little kid, and to the rest of us.

Sanders is desperately trying to unfart as we speak and Conservatism Inc. still thinks he's formidable
Senior writer at National Review really got the pulse of the people here, there and everywhere. #smdh
Bernie tanked after saying he'd let criminals vote and has not recovered from that.
It's gonna be Joe for the blow.
Bernie unfarts
Isn't Unfarts a German-Jewish name?
Good old Bernie Unfarts.
Works for me.
But watch out for Burnie Unfarts. Ouch!
But watch out for Burnie Unfarts. Ouch!

Just six House Republicans voted against the NDAA with its provision of paid family leave to The Swamp
Buck
Gohmert
Griffith
Massie
McClintock
Rice (South Carolina)
The roll call vote is here.
377 Yeas, 48 Nays, 5 Not Voting.
Profligacy and stupidity are bipartisan.
Look at that: ChickfilA suddenly advertizes on the radio, on The Rush Limbaugh Program no less, after caving to the gay mafia
Just before the top of the hour.
ChickfilA didn't need to advertize before caving to the gay mafia. Now they do.
What better place than the gay-friendly Rush Limbaugh Show?

Bernie throws Hail Mary Pass, endorses dog-fucker in CA-25
Just as Pocahonky was fading, too.
Every last one of them has a death wish, and Trump is here to grant it.
Elise Stefanik joins 33 other Republican traitors to help Democrats pass Farm Workforce Modernization Act
The roll call is here.
Among the others joining her in the infamy were Fred Upton and Devin Nunes.
The fact is no Republican had to vote for it for it to pass, so this is most definitely on them.
The bill would give green cards to undocumented farm workers, which is amnesty.
Liberals are cheapskates
The U of C has 2859 academic staff, so that's less than $68 a head, about 0.10% of the average salary.
