The Morning Rant
"Now that the massive 'stop Kavanaugh' efforts failed as miserably as has Kathy Griffin's career, get ready for a whole new bunch of rule change proposals from progressives, including reworking the Surpeme Court, screwing up the Senate, and of course, getting rid of the Electoral College. Not that any of these have a prayer of succeeding, but it does tell us what they plan to try to do should they regain power. Oh, and impeach Drumpf. Anything except running smart campaigns and winning elections."

And this brainiac is the "Intelligence and national security reporter for the NBC News Investigative Unit." Who, apparently, has never read the U.S. Constitution. I suspect there's not a lot behind that fancy-ass title he's got. Kind of like seeing 'petroleum transfer engineer' on a job resumé. Just one look, and you know it's bs. Dumbness level = 825 millikohns.

To be fair, he may know and just consider it unfair.
Which probably just indicates that he doesn't understand the reasons why Madison and the other Framers went with the structure as it was.
It'd be nice if the connection between the Senate and the states was clearer, like, for instance, if the state legislatures appointed Senators instead of the people electing them.
But that's just crazy talk.

============
I do wonder what an Article V convention would produce.
Any changes would need to pass 3/5ths of the state legislatures, so I can't imagine anything too outlandish like a ban on abortion or a repeal of the 2nd amendment.
But a repeal of the 17th? Still probably not. People are tied to the idea of Democracy in everything.
A repeal of the 16th? Maybe.
Term limits? Perhaps.
BBA? Outside chance.

This is not a good reason to go monkeying about with the Constitution. We already mostly broke the Senate when we went to direct election (a disaster in its own right). Proposing that we eliminate the directly-proportioned upper house by turning it into a second commons is a calculated play to destroy the country and remake it in the coastal image. Just like when it has been proposed before, when power centers were different. No one wants to compete.

I'm beginning to think that half of these people advocating violence are secretly contract employees working for our 17 intelligence agencies trying to gain street cred so they can infiltrate these subversive organizations and identify Mr. Big and his organizers.
Kinda like the FBI infiltrated the KKK until there were more FBI informants at the meetings then there were members.

I believe you'd also have to nullify filibuster for legislative things. Not that they wouldn't do that, but then the line would finally be crossed for everything.
Posted by: Steve_in_SoCal at October 10, 2018 11:18 AM (q1VoB)
===========
There are a lot of hurdles to jump before court packing begins.
Bare majority in the Senate willing to eliminate the filibuster completely.
Bare majorities in both chambers willing to pass legislation to make the court packing into law.
A president willing to sign it.
A Senate willing to place two more justices up.
I don't think the political will exists to go through all of those steps.

I need to get into some legislative body to try and get my idea for a new constitutional amendment moving.
Provide a mechanism for states to declare bankruptcy, but also outline the consequences.
1) Immediate loss of statehood, and conversion to a territory.
2) All elected officials and all state employees above dog catcher are barred from elected office or state employment in any state in the Union or in the Federal government for the rest of their lives.
3) The state is responsible for all of its debts, and can only reapply for statehood once the debt load is 100% paid off.

So that we would be a united group of states. If the states AREN'T treated equally, what possible reason would Texas have to help Vermont? Why would Louisina allow trade through New Orleans to Minnesota? Why would Colorado allow California to have their water?
Equal treatment in the upper house is what allows the states to be united.
If you go proportional all the way, then four or five states will get to push around the other 45. And the other 45 won't take that treatment for long.
These people don't understand what causes war. Shit like that causes geographical conflict.

The legendary filmmaker painstakingly restored and coloured hours of archival footage and paired it with historical veterans' interviews and a special effects soundtrack, to bring the war back to life in an unprecedented way.
This included using lip readers to decipher what soldiers were saying in the century-old film and inserting new matching audio recorded with actors.
The film -- "They Shall Not Grow Old" -- will be unveiled for the first time at the London Film Festival next week, and simultaneously screened in different venues across Britain.

If that were a real gun cabinet, then things would be very different. From the research into the topic that I did a little while back, I learned that handguns are essentially banned in Japan outside of certain individuals (law enforcement, etc...) that require them as part of their job. You're allowed to own a hunting rifle. But not only does it need to be licensed, but the local police are supposed to come to your house and inspect it every year.

Praying for others > praying for self, so I've read.
Yeah, but, some days I get so worried,
there's so much out of kilter in our lives.
I've sinned and erred my way
into a deepening hole,
without a clue how or even whether
our fortunes can be reversed.
I look around at ten million
seeming screaming problems
and begin to despair.
I turn, by habit, to the inner dialogue
with The Almighty & Company.
I begin to ask for
-- what I know They already know
better than I do --
what I need.
Before I can cry, "Please?"
I suddenly am overwhelmed
by all the the wonders I behold each day,
the opportunities I've been given,
the grace I have received, and
I find myself compelled to whisper,
"Thanks."

Of course no one could, and the $100 bill did not get claimed.
But the statement by the typical clueless guy about why conservative speakers get shouted down is telling.
It's because their ideas are "divisive."
Someone ought to ask these guys if they ever had sex with a girl they had only known for a few hours or days, and how they should be treated by the school if one of those girls said, couple weeks after the hookup, "he raped me." And there were no witnesses.

We the People had to keep control, and we failed to stop those forces, even if it came to "watering the tree of liberty". When the Chicago Mob took Illinois, we did not stop them ... they sent their mobsters to DC, we did not stop them.
Pelosi's Dad was good friends with the mob, she knows how it works. Tie that with the Soviet infiltration ... and it still has not allowed them to completely overthrow us ... thanks largely to The Constitution and its checks and balances and established due processes.
We are in a war, and there may be some constitutional military tribunals to deal with the massive coup that is still underway. But public opinion has to continue to move toward realization of how evil these liars and swindlers really are. And they are being exposed for sure ... Red Wave would be helpful.

Doesn't it also imply that they have superior qualities to other groups? Many other groups from native americans to Muslims to African tribes to asians have been just as ruthless, but they all failed.
So doesn't this belief imply a belief that whites are superior in their abilities, and not just their ambition? That sounds RAYCISS to me. You want to say "don't go there", but she went there.

WW II gets more coverage though so I'm glad that a film is being made on WW I. It's all relative but I think WW I was more horrible than WW II by a long shot. The perfect storm of old school strategy meets new weapon technology. Add in the Spanish Flu and I don't know how the World survived.

As race is a purely social construct, much like gender, it is in fact an essential substratum of existing relations of power. As such, huWhiteness and huWhite pipl exist solely as terms describing the oppressive ideology and its bearers, and so, an apparent 'huwhite' person can call for the death of all huwhite pipl and be exempt from the structural transformation.

Remember, if Democrats take back both chambers, they will have members from red and purple districts and states.
They're not going to be as eager to sign onto a power grab like that if it means they will lose their cushy jobs.
Yes, the ACA, but I think that was part influence of the party bosses and a misunderstanding of the level of anger on the part of the individual constituencies. I kind of doubt that it'd get repeated.

Sometimes after the prayer list was submitted this morning I received a request from Joncelli who asked for prayers for the repose of the soul of his sister who died at the end of September. He also asked for prayers of strength as he is separated and going through a divorce. So it's a hard time for Joncelli and I know he would appreciate your prayers, Thanks.

I told her that the GOP was the lesser of two evils since they offer more support for individual liberty
and they tend to lower taxes
Less government more fun!

No. If you're one of these loony tunes, racism (and sexism and classism and other isms) is a function of hierarchical power. Anyone not in the "power" race (or sex, or class, or whatever) is actually incapable of racism *by definition.*
And who gets to define who is a member of the power race (or sex or class or whatever)? Why your academic betters do. Only they have the ideological purity to detect it.
I want my wall. I want it built around every major university with a lobster-trap front gate. Anyone can go in - no one can come out.

Then it's a civil rights decision which people are too stupid to know what the 'right' choice is...

Posted by: Lancelot Link Secret Agent Chimp at October 10, 2018 11:41 AM (71o8T)
Two reasons that WWII became the huge cultural touchstone that it is today is that it's got a fairly unambiguously evil rogue's gallery of villains, and it's the first major war that had a shitload of film footage rather than just still photography.
One thing that strikes me about WWI is that virtually everyone that started the war in Aug '14 WANTED to go to war. They all had their own reasons, most of which had nothing to do with the Serbia/Austria quarrel that started it. The rest of Europe just piled on thinking that it'd be a quick, easy way to snatch up provinces, glory, revenge, influence etc. The big mistake that they all made was thinking they could win their part of the war in a few weeks of fighting, with relatively minimal casualties.
Oops.

First off, the Republicans have a majority in the House as well, so this point is kind of moot. The House would have also confirmed him.
Secondly, the supreme court's rulings could potentially affect any state, including small states. Why should the smaller states have to potentially be victims of larger states appointing judges or officials that could be harmful to them? That's the point of the senate.

I am sometimes there. But increasingly, I find myself doing my commute in silence - no radio, phone in the center console and out of sight. It's a good 40 minutes for me to do nothing but think while the instinctive part of my brain handles the driving. I often snap out of a thought when I get home, to find I drove there on auto-pilot (something that never happens when I have the radio on).

Go with the Journal Social Text'. It worked for Alan Sokal:
from Wiki:
The Sokal affair, also called the Sokal hoax,[1] was a scholarly publishing sting perpetrated by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University and University College London. In 1996, Sokal submitted an article to Social Text, an academic journal of postmodern cultural studies. The submission was an experiment to test the journal's intellectual rigor and, specifically, to investigate whether "a leading North American journal of cultural studies – whose editorial collective includes such luminaries as Fredric Jameson and Andrew Ross – [would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions".[2]
The article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity",[3] was published in the Social Text spring/summer 1996 "Science Wars" issue. It proposed that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct. At that time, the journal did not practice academic peer review and it did not submit the article for outside expert review by a physicist.[4][5] On the day of its publication in May 1996, Sokal revealed in Lingua Franca that the article was a hoax.[2]

That's why it reminds me of the Ellen Jamesians in "The World According to Garp" - they cut out their tongues to demonstrate that they, too, are victims like Ellen James (whose tongue was cut out during her rape).

Yet they didn't. For various reasons, they pissed away their human capital over the generations, and continue to do so. I don't see why I should get weepy about their failure to bootstrap themselves.

I wonder if she bought into the feminist canard about in order for women to be truly happy, they need to throw themselves into the careers, just like men.
And now she's finding out, perhaps after a couple of decades of busting her ass with 50- and 60-hour work-weeks, that, actually, it's not all that fulfilling. Career success does not necessarily equate to happiness.

American Revolution or French Revolution"
some populism is good, some laws are bad. If Queen Hillary got her choice of Supremes, the law might impose a heavy tax on white Christian straight males ... and start confiscating lands, or paying reparations. At what point do we say "we are not a nation of laws, we will fight for liberty"?
The FrenchRev killed the wrong people, ... but I'm not really up on all that history. There is certainly a good point about contrasting the two. But I think we should not put too much emphasis on Law versus Mob. "Our Mob" of deplorables will fight for individual liberty, their mob will fight for communism and Orwellian control over liberty.

The constitution is TheLaw, but it is a control on all other law, establishing Individual Liberty as preeminent to (bad) law.
...
Francis Schaeffer in How Shall We Then Live gives a fascinating comparison of the parallels of the American and French Revolution that you might find interesting. He finds at the core the moral underpinning of the Reformation in the American Revolution, and the lack of moral underpinning of the humanist Renaissance under that of the French.
He does a great, great job also of illustrating why having a basis for the Law above the Law (e.g. a Lawgiver, God) is utterly essential, and that without it we can only have arbitrary laws chosen by whomever is in power.
Your comment on Individual Liberty is similar, but he's drilling down to ask upon what basis do we argue that something like Individual Liberty is preeminent.

Power and morality in the normal worldview are inextricable, because of individualism.
They make power into a simple commodity like the money they so hate, because then they can attribute it to a group identity without recognizing the monstrous lack of equity they've created in society.

Not naive. I do think the summer townhalls that year were instructive - if only as a historical lesson for those that would vote to change SC. They sure as hell didn't catch on the first time.
But I do think there's a difference - at least from people's perceptions - about changing one seventh of the economy and the judicial branch. Changing would inevitably arouse the passion on both sides, much like what we're seeing now. So maybe next month is a test run?

But the central thesis is that southern states wanted the electoral college for slavery reasons, which is an absurd claim to make.
Look at the population of eligible voter distribution.
These people need to look up the Connecticut Compromise, which is where we got 2 Senators per state and reps distributed by population.
It was CT, RI and DE (small states) who wanted the system that led to the electoral college.
NY (a big state) wanted set representatives per state (like the Senate), while VA and southern states (who had faster growing populations than the north) wanted a system more akin to the house of representatives.
...So the small states compromised. Led by the Connecticut delegation.

On Tuesday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "The Story," Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said that if he's still the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he will nottake up a nominee to fill avacancy on the Supreme Court during the 2020 presidential election.
That will be an untenable position for him if PDT nominates someone.

Actually, it's amusing - the Leftists who scream that the Republicans only win because of "voter suppression" announce that states have to have Election day voter registration, and have to allow early voting for weeks in advance of Election Day.
New York does none of that, but the Leftists never complain, because New York votes the right way. Demanding electoral changes is for red states like Georgia.

That's a key point about leftists. Somewhere they know, in the back of their minds, that they're dependent on other people for the things that keep them fed, alive, comfortable in the summer, and free from hypothermia in the winter months.
But they've elevated themselves in their own minds to such an obscene level that they can only look down on oil-workers, or farmers, or any blue color non-union enterprise with disgust.
It's a pathology. Not normal. These are sick people.

Leftists are really big on Original Sin - that if they claim that an institution they don't like was formed due to racist or other unacceptable reasons, than that institution can't be defended, no matter how useful it is today.
Portland built a freeway through a black neighborhood fifty years ago. Even though the neighborhood is now mostly white, Leftists argue that nothing can be done now to improve the freeway or fix bottlenecks on it, due to the Original Sin of building the freeway through a black neighborhood.

Twenty years ago, all of the loaded oil barges headed north in the Hudson for Albany.
Today, because of the shale and fracking in the Midwest, Albany receives its heating oil from the Midwest via train, and then loads the remainder into oil barges for shipment to New York City.
So, the loaded barges now head south instead of north.

He only received 40% of the popular vote but got over 180 electoral college votes, enough to tip him over for a win. Granted there were other factors in 1860, including a deeply divided democratic party, and four candidates on the ballot, so that helped.

Somebody in an article referred to Berkeley #1 and Berkeley #2, regarding the University of California.
Berkeley #1 is the real academic institution, that keeps cranking out Nobel Prizes in chemistry and economics and what not. Berkeley #2 is all the grievance studies departments and the luxuriant "equality" bureaucracy.
For decades the professors in Berkeley #1 have ignored Berkeley #2, and focused on real work, but the problem is that Berkeley #2 intends to completely control the University, and keeps making progress towards that goal.
You already see this starting in Engineering. Ultimately, the SJWs have their sights on the physics department - after all, they don't really care about advances in physics, so long as they have control.

I think Buckley used their style because he grew up in academia and excelled at it, and it came naturally to him. Same with Whittaker Chambers. It was irritating to sa the least.
But these modern inheritors of their legacy like Goldberg, Kristol, Nichols, Rubin, etc. fit exactly into that summation.

And they won't widen I-205, the bypass around most of Portland, either, although it has plenty of room for that.
Absolutely true. The Left is furiously fighting fixing the I-5 bottleneck in Portland, even though fixing the bottleneck was a key part of a state transportation package, since I-5 is critical to the economy of the whole state. The state transportation package also provided a bunch of money for things like bike lanes - the leftists think that they can keep the bike lane money, and still kill the freeway fix.
Ironically, the poor people in Portland moved east to near the I-205 bypass freeway as central Portland gentrified - shutting down I-5, and shifting all the truck traffic to I-205, would be shifting the pollution away from the gentrified neighborhoods to poor, often black neighborhoods.
But since the leftists don't live in those poor neighborhoods, they don't care.

Buckley was brilliant. But he was an elitist, and if alive today he'd no doubt be a #NeverTrumper.

Heh. #MeToo.
Everyone thinks WFB is a great writer -- except me. I used to subscribe to NR, dead tree edition. I didn't think he was all that. Yeah, he had some $10 words he would throw out there, but I got the feeling he was just showing off to impress the rubes.
But, as you say, his anti-commie bona fides are above reproach.

he's drilling down to ask upon what basis do we argue that something
like Individual Liberty is preeminent.Posted by: TexasDan
right, ... founders saw the need to keep institutional religions out of government. They had seen those problems with Catholic popes and protestant kings. And their ties to the reformation are fairly clear, but it would be informative for me to delve deeper into the exact historic connections.
Christian "ideals" basically held the country together, while "TheLaw" (constitutional) was supposed to protect that God given liberty. Liberty means allowing choice ... which includes other religions, but not a religion that is really its own "nation with intent to conquer".
People have wandered from the Christian church, but that is still essentially the ethos of the people. But we are less anchored as hedonism became popularized (by those damn commie hippies ... heh) ... and the religion of our parents becomes an old remnant of fabric the holds us together, as opposed to living spiritual belief.

Illegal aliens **do count** as residents for purposes of the census and Congressional apportionment. Utah sued over that in the last census, since Utah lost a Congressional seat due to illegals being counted. California has several Congressional seats that it doesn't deserve, due to its illegal alien population.
Something for the new right-wing Supreme Court to fix.

and they do count, it is settled law (unfortunately) ... so they get their own FULL person representatives. There are about 15-20 reps assigned directly for the illegals. The illegals do count, do get represented. (anchor baby is not settled law as I understand it, it has not been directly challenged)

BINGO!
We need to understand people in the context of their own time.
Although Buckley was in some ways a "populist" --- he was sincere in preferring to be ruled by the first 300 names in the phonebook than by the Harvard faculty ---
his main concern was to prove that conservatism was intellectually respectable.

You know the pasty white lady, with the mental illness face, holding the sign saying kill all white people is the solution.
WTF? In Hitler's rise to power were there jews who marched in the streets carrying signs that said the solution to Germany's problem was to kill all the jews? Its seems that we have arrived a unique moment in human history where people demonstrate to advance self elimination. Clearly the diabolic is roaming freely in the minds of these self hating lunatics.

This is what's great about knowing a little Latin.
That basically means "Automobiles Made in Turin, Italy."
I think.

No, pretty sure that's a bad translation.

We have a talking Gorilla that makes more sense.
Bcz Gorillas do have more sense than these nutbars we are watching.
Also, I take comfort that no Normals have shown up to bother with these idiots. It must burn...the apathy toward them.
Their protesting numbers are pathetic no matter what way you slice it. Many are probably paid.
