If Trump wins I will never forgive all the whiny liberals that wouldn't vote for Hillary because they are too pure of heart or whatever

and no other prominent and electable center left politician stepped up to challenge Hillary.

Fame corrupts and absolute fame corrupts absolutely.

so then you are saying that Hillary is corrupt. And you are fine voting for a corrupt person.

Your wrong Essy, Trump will not get elected.

The problem with Bernie is he's not a democrat and doesn't represent the democratic party. That's why he lost.

and they will likely be pissed at you for not paying attention when they said that they had serious problems with Hillary. But no.. people like you went.. la la la.. shut up and get in line.. Hillary will definitely win.la la la.. I can't hear you.. la la la Hillary will win.

Never have so few been so on and on about so little with so little avail, ever.

You’ve sometimes expressed thoughts about the culture in which we live. For example, in Lee v. Weisman you wrote that we indeed live in a vulgar age. What do you think accounts for our present civic vulgarity?

Gee, I don’t know. I occasionally watch movies or television shows in which the f-word is used constantly, not by the criminal class but by supposedly elegant, well-educated, well-to-do people. The society I move in doesn’t behave that way. Who imagines this? Maybe here in California. I don’t know, you guys really talk this way?

Q. How would you characterize the role of the Supreme Court in American society, now that you’ve been a part of it for 24 years?

I think it’s a highly respected institution. It was when I came, and I don’t think I’ve destroyed it. I’ve been impressed that even when we come out with opinions that are highly unpopular or even highly-what should I say-emotion raising, the people accept them, as they should. The one that comes most to mind is the election case of Bush v. Gore. Nobody on the Court liked to wade into that controversy. But there was certainly no way that we could turn down the petition for certiorari. What are you going to say? The case isn’t important enough? And I think that the public ultimately realized that we had to take the case. … I was very, very proud of the way the Court’s reputation survived that, even though there are a lot of people who are probably still mad about it.

As the National Law journal reports, in the last term, Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from a Coca-Cola case because he owned stock in the company. Several days before the case, Alito unrecused himself after selling off his stock.

I was very, very proud of the way the Court’s reputation survived that, even though there are a lot of people who are probably still mad about it.

At least five and perhaps as many as eight of the nine members of the U.S. Supreme Court are millionaires according to recently released financial disclosures, and only two hold any consumer debt.

Sandra Day O'Connor came under fire in 2000 after she was overheard saying "this is terrible" at an election night party when it appeared that Democrat Al Gore had won. The moderately conservative justice's husband consequently told guests that she wanted to retire but wasn't willing to do so if it meant her successor would be appointed by a Democratic president. O'Connor then famously became the fifth Supreme Court vote to install George W. Bush as president.

The base considers Powell to be a RINO so they don't care.

this has the ring of truth to it.

The repug base may think that of Powell, but that is not true of Americans in general, who really like the guy.

Heading into the two parties' conventions, the race for President is a dead heat, a change from last month when Hillary Clinton led by six points. Forty percent of registered voters now say they will back Clinton (a dip of three points), while 40 percent will vote for Trump (a bump up of three points). A month ago, Clinton led Trump 43 to 37 percent.

Yes I did read it and prove it that they were marked in a header as classified.

Move on, try to find something else to hit her with.

Incompetence is a poor excuse. The rules for conduct are quite clear. Apparently Ginsberg and Clinton feel they are above them

I am not voting. The rich already won the election. They want dumb Americans bickering

Even the lowliest govt worker is not supposed to give political opinions or endorse candidates.

Supreme Court Justice can say anything she wants and there isn't a goddamned thing anyone can do about it short of impeachment, including politics.

You never said that about Scalia. Your point is dismissed.

I can't recall any other instances in my lifetime of a sitting Justice openly taking sides in a Presidential race. And Justice Ginsberg didn't just take sides. She essentially called Trump a piece of sh#t. Not off the mark. But not appropriate for a SC Justice, IMO.

She didn't take sides.

Pence reminds me of Admiral Stockdale.

Excellent choice, Donald.

“Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office”

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald Trump’s dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on Friday, campaign sources confirm.

The ugly scene unfolded at the billionaire’s offices in midtown Manhattan, shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.

According to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican nominee’s office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling Trump, “You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.”

The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.

Trump’s press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie. “In the long hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw,” she said. “We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trump’s dry cleaning going forward.”

During the address, Obama condemned the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling, stating, "Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections." Justice Samuel Alito was seen frowning and mouthing the words "not true" when Obama criticized the Supreme Court.

Chief Justice John Roberts later commented on the subject at the University of Alabama, saying, "The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court – according the requirements of protocol – has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling."

The image of having thousands of yahoos led by a faker standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while a court member such as Ms. Ginsburg, according the requirements of protocol, has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling and quite possibly treasonous.

I hope all you shits that attack the families of politicians you don't like get to experience the same, in your own time.

One of the more publicly shared accounts of Pence’s transition from a Catholic youth minister who wanted to be a priest to an evangelical megachurch member came in 1994. That’s when he told the Indianapolis Business Journal about an intense period of religious searching that he underwent in college. “I made a commitment to Christ,” Pence said, speaking of the late 1970s. “I’m a born-again, evangelical Catholic.”

An examination of Pence's legislative record during 12 years in the House reveals scant tangible achievements, instead pointing to a tenure marked by a desire to move the Republican Party and national debate in a conservative direction.
Of 90 standalone bills introduced by Pence during his tenure in the House, the 21 that passed were all "simple resolutions" about matters like placing a member on a committee or rebuking the United Nations, according to the legislative tracker GovTrack. Apart from those, just one Pence bill cleared committee, and then died—a 2005 bill to scrap limits on aggregate campaign contributions by a person in an election cycle. Pence voted against numerous major Bush-era initiatives such as No Child Left Behind in 2001, the Medicare prescription drug benefit in 2003 (which passed by one vote) and the bank bailout of 2008.
"It's not as if he was a legislator who did more than take strong positions against these things," said Norm Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. "This was a guy who saw his role much more as being a super-magnet trying to pull his party and policy away from the center and toward the right."
Fittingly, the largest contributor to his campaigns and political committees from 1989 to 2014 was Club For Growth, a conservative group that often battles bipartisan deals, according to the nonpartisan Center For Responsive Politics. Pence may build bridges between Trump and conservative donors wary of his ideological bona fides.
Pence also gives some Republicans skeptical of Trump a dash of hope that he'd be able to steer the presumptive nominee in a more conservative direction. "I hope that he can move Mr. Trump on a number of these issues," said Flake.
But that doesn't mean he'd be the ideal figure to help Trump cut deals.
"The idea that Pence is going to be an effective liaison with Congress—he knows Congress, but he's not going to be the Republican equivalent of Joe Biden," said Ornstein. "He's not a dealmaker. That's not his modus operandi."

The rollout of Pence today was one of most bizarre episodes in political history. I really think Trump was on LSD. He came out to introduce Pence, then proceeded to ramble on incoherently about himself for 30 minutes. He finally got around to mentioning the unfortunate fellow and then left. Weird.

But, he has moderated his tone somewhat, more refined now. The more he speaks like he has been, the better.

not sure which is dumber...

i suppose, at least it's a sort of poetic reflection of the state of things as a whole...

Dirtbag, you have seen disparaging pics of me. I have pics of here of people with aluminum male-appendages in my mouth.

It is standard RePubican practice to demonize any person you do not agree with.

Klimmer, you are impervious to facts.

"I'd like to remind everyone that he [Trump] won 66 out of 67 counties in Florida, which is primarily Hispanic so it all depends on what you call Hispanic. You know a lot of Hispanics consider ourselves Americans first, so I think that there's a lot of confusion in regards to that," she said.
