I think every President, knew when the 250 bday was....well maybe no Xiden.

Either way, the contract is just for the painting, might not of known how much needed or if it needed until the repair project started.

Sometimes that happens when you get in on a project

Democrats that have seized control of state legislators do not want the federal government enforcing federal election laws in their leftist states.

The 17th Amendment needs to go

AMEN

The previous repairs:

The major previous reconstruction of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool took approximately two years, running from November 2010 to August 2012.

2015–2016: Small repairs to the eastern end of the pool, caused by construction at the nearby World War II Memorial, took about a year, running from late 2015 to the summer of 2016

Geez man that was over a decade ago!

You clean your pool once every ten years? Disgusting

Chief Justice Roberts’s Vendetta Against the Voting Rights Act

He’s been railing against it since the early 1980s.

Chief Justice Roberts’s Vendetta Against the Voting Rights Act

He’s been railing against it since the early 1980s.

Roberts’s animus toward the act, and toward the broader struggle to address centuries of racial discrimination in America, has been in plain sight since he served as a young lawyer in the Reagan administration, drafting memos attacking the law and devising legal arguments to undermine it.

So what is being said:

1. Roberts is a racist?

or

2. Roberts believes the law is bad legislation and should be revoked?

Correct, demafacist only want to enforce their radical oppressive views on to others

They ignore the laws and constitutions when they get in their way

They riot, murder, loot, engage in racial gerrymandering, ignore state constitution…they don’t care

Approximately 38 states use elections to select at least some of their state supreme court justices,

Sure, actually all do. In my state my vote is for a member of the general assembly and they confirm judges…so an election is sort does

But I was talking about partisan election for the actual judge, only 7 do

Actually, stare decisis is a concept rooted in the US Constitution, where under Article 3,

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.

In placing all the judicial power into a single court, and establishing all courts to be inferior to that court, means that all the lower courts have to obey the decisions of the one constitutional court. And it would throw those courts into a tailspin if the one Constitutional court kept changing it's interpretation of the constitution and the laws of the US, with every change of the court.

So stare decisis is an important part of law, and like the rights granted by the Constitution itself, is not absolute. As everything in the bill of rights is not absolute. And even the clear text is subject to a "compelling government interest".

In the case of the court, the "compelling government interest" would include where a superior judgement is rendered.
Where Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was decided by the judgement of 7 jurists
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) was decided by the superior judgement of 9 jurists.

Compare to the Radical Roberts court, who ignored stare decisis in
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022) by the judgement of 6 jurists
To overturn Roe v. Wade (1973) which was on the judgement of 7 jurists.

Omg stare decisis isn’t the concept that lower courts have to follow binding decisions from superior courts

Wow

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Supreme Court: "It is a corrupt court"​

Democrats fundamentally disagree with our Constitution. It gets in their way upending their schemes time and again and when that happens Dems are furious.

It used to be Dems claimed it was the Constitution's fault, old, outdated. Now they attack the justices outright and claim the court is corrupt and illegitimate.

^^^ this will not change so I'll make the offer again...it's time we part company. We have NOTHING in common with these Democrats and their factions of freaks. So let's agree to live apart. We'll divide up the U.S. into 2 countries and Democrats can do whatever the hell they want within their own borders, that's their dream come true.

It means Roberts has been Jones-ing to get rid of the Voting Rights Act when he told the Senate he wasn't going to touch it.

We're talking direct election by the people.

Partisan Elections: Candidates run with party affiliations. States include: Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, West Virginia.

Nonpartisan Elections: Candidates run without party affiliation. States include: Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin.

Far more states than seven put it to the voters.

But I was talking about partisan election for the actual judge, only 7 do

State Supreme Court justices are selected through diverse methods, primarily divided between elections (around 24 states) and appointments (around 26 states plus D.C.). Methods include partisan elections, nonpartisan elections, retention elections (yes/no votes), and gubernatorial appointment via a nominating commission.

We're talking direct election.

Such as in New York State, all Supreme Court judges are on the ballot, and selected by the voters.

Partisan elections only happen in 7 states

Ny does a hybrid…what they call the Supreme Court is actually the trial court

Their appellate courts are selected based on merit not political

Yes only seven states use partisan elections to pick judges

That was a procedural violation. How the referendum was conducted, and it's conclusions were properly done. And would have produced valid results.

From what I have read, the ballot language was put on after 40% of the populace already voted. It was rightly canned.

 

[postman]

Actually that wasn't the original question. You added "partisan" to cut the number of states that vote for their supreme court justices from 24 (nearly half) to only 8.

Kind of.
If democrats had their way the supreme court justices would be voted in by the people, every 6 years, like senators.

Re: If democrats had their way the supreme court justices would be voted in by the people, every 6 years, like senators.

Or like a large number of states do?

Re: Or like a large number of states do?

Not that many state engage in partisan elections, 7 in fact

It’s really a horrible way, politics shouldn’t play a role in judicial process
