How you enjoying your pension and socialized healthcare admiral? Fucking hypocrites.You may not realize it but the Republican Party stole Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 Allah Ken BlackwellNo one familiar with the jurisprudence of Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas could possibly have imagined that they would vote to invalidate the Florida recount process on the basis of their own well-developed and oft-invoked approach to the Equal Protection Clause.Why do liberals always like to start their posts off with bald-faced lies?
I guess they want to illustrate their stupidity for everyone to see, so we can stop reading early on!
In the decade leading up to Bush v. Gore, Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas cast approximately 65 votes in non-unanimous Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Equal Protection Clause. Nineteen of those votes were cast in cases involving affirmative action, and I will return to them in a moment. Of the 46 votes that these Justices cast in cases that did not involve affirmative action, Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas collectively cast only two votes to uphold a claimed violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Thus, these three Justices found a violation of Equal Protection in only 4 percent of these cases.
For the sake of comparison, over this same period, and in these very same cases, the colleagues of Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas collectively voted 74 percent of the time to uphold the Equal Protection Clause claim. 74 percent versus 4 percent.
Against this background, one must wonder why Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas suddenly discovered power and beauty in the Equal Protection Clause in Bush v. Gore. Indeed, as a group they cast more votes (three, to be exact) to uphold the Equal Protection Clause claim in Bush v. Gore than they had previously cast in all of the non-affirmative action Equal Protection Clause cases that they had considered in the previous decade.
Equal Protection? The Supreme Court's Decision in Bush v. Gore
If it looks like judicial activism, smells like judicial activism, and feels like judicial activism, it's judicial activism.
So, what do you think any of that proves?
Not a damn thing. Your lie still stands.
I notice Jeb Bush is not mentioned at all. How could that be?
So you are joining in the liberal lie-fest?
If you want to blame someone for your own inadequacies, go look in the mirror.
Your ignorance and lack of morals reigns supreme. You must be a well respected liberal.
I have no pension and I pay for my healthcare through my employer, and now since Obamacare, they have slashed the benefits and increased the cost.
Now, don't you feel just a little bit silly?
