So, if that's true, ...Interesting take, @9:28.<br /><br />So, if that's true, what follows?<br /><br />Should the Court not have convened to day?<br /><br />Will its rulings lack the power of precedent?<br /><br />If Trump appointees join in rulings as you like, will those particular rulings be legitimate?<br /><br />Are rulings where five of the non-Trump appointees join in the ruling legitimate, even if joined by Trump appointees?<br /><br />What if Trump appointees concur with rulings driven by non-Trump appointees?<br /><br />Assuming Trump will be out of office (via impeachment, a 2020 loss or term limits) before all the "illegitimate" justices have died or left the bench, what ought to happen after he is no longer President? What if his successor is from Team R, not Team D? <br /><br />Play this out for us a bit. If the "Court is not a legitimate body," then . . . what?<br /><br />Robert Kuntznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-45006782480461772742019-10-07T09:28:42.854-04:002019-10-07T09:28:42.854-04:00Due to the lawlessness of our President, the Court...Due to the lawlessness of our President, the Court is not a legitimate body.

You have to be me...Kansas has it right on insanity. You have to be mentally ill to commit most of the violent crimes that make the news. The real issue is what we do with these folks. "Fry'em" and "lock'em up and throw away the key" are not practical solutions nor, for those interested in such things, are they consistent with the teachings of Jesus (which in fairness, shouldn't be considered in this context - but lets face it, democracies and republics are made up of individuals, and those individuals often have religion). <br /><br />Louisiana has it wrong. "Beyond reasonable doubt" can't be met unless everyone thinks the defendant is guilty. If even one of the jurors isn't convinced, a reasonable doubt of guilt exists. That's the whole damn point. If the prosecutor (or judge) thinks that the holdout juror isn't capable of making reasonable doubt determinations, the time to address that is at jury selection, not at the conclusion of trial. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
