The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Pack the court? Sure. How about if by some miracle the Republicans regain the House and President Trump nominates five more extremely young and extremely conservative judges and Cocaine Mitch McConnell rams them through in the next few months. How does that sound?

Article III of the U.S. Constitution does not specify the number of judges on the Supreme Court. The current number was set by the Judiciary Act of 1869, which is an act of Congress and can be changed by any subsequent Congress.

Or maybe we should go in the other direction. How about a Supreme Court of three judges? Thomas as Chief Justice, with Barrett and Alito as associate justices.

And while we are at it, how about if Congress limits the scope of the court's authority? The Constitution seems to give them that power in Article III Section 2:

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be a Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

That would open up some interesting possibilities. How about a specific prohibition against limiting any of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights?

It is these insanities that makes conservatism immensely satisfying as a political philosophy. Chesterton's Fence is a lesson that needs endless repetition. I'll bet Harry Reid would like to revisit his destruction of the filibuster and the consequent boon for the Republican party. He claims to be happy with it, but legislation can always be changed, but the court is for a generation and can set the tone of legislation and even the direction of the political process of the country. As much as the Left would like to radically remake the structure of our government, there is the possibility that their enemies on the other side of the aisle will be emboldened to use those same tools, and the end result might be unpleasant for them.

If President Trump wins reelection next week, he will have a tremendous opportunity to do just that. Gut the regulatory state and empty the departments of the thousands of apparatchiks who have nurtured the Deep State. And a rational Supreme Court will be much more supportive of a return to basic principles!

But, I do think it would be interesting for Trump to nominate a bunch in order to expand SCOTUS and also introduce a constitutional amendment to limit SCOTUS to 9 at the same time.

28 I like the idea of set term limits for scotus. We have 2 for house, 4 for president, 6 for senate. How about a nice even 10 years for scotus? And when the term is up, they can be re-appointed and re-confirmed by the senate or the current president can say thanks for your service, and buh bye.

We wouldn't have these cataclysmic fights for every scotus seat if it was for only 10 years instead of 20, 30 or 40 years.

I prefer the idea that 2/3 of state legislatures need to approve of a SCOTUS ruling to give it the power of precedence.

Start by wiping out everything as precedent, give SCOTUS them mission of submitting everything they want to be precedent to the states over a 5-10 year period. After that, it's just new stuff.

45 Too late, it is ingrained in American politics that SCOTUS has the final say on any legislation, EO, or decision made by any Civil Servant even though the power to make those decisions are clearly laid out in the Constitution and settled case law.

Both parties rely on SCOTUS to settle things that are clearly not in their lane.

For example, the EO that cancelled the dreamer stuff that obama did. SCOTUS ruled that even though the President has the power to cancel the program they ruled that no he couldn't do that because they didn't like the reason he gave them for cancelling the EO.

Which is complete and utter horse$hit, but the decision stands to this day.

It's only going to get worse.

Then fill all of the positions with people not of the swamp.

Find somebody from a back water outpost and put them into that position.

And then set about fulfilling unfulfilled campaign promises like bringing the troops back home among other things.

57 The only real fix for SCOTUS is to not allow the federal judiciary to rule on any darn thing they want via the 14th amendment. So long as they can do that, term limits and state overturning decisions is just musical chairs. Limiting jurisdiction and clarifying the 14th is the only way to go.

The founders never, ever envisioned a single district judge overruling an elected state supreme court.

Expanding the Supreme Court to infinity in order to make it liberal is something a liberal prez and legislature WILL do the moment they're in power. What can we do to prevent it? Will it take a Constitutional amendment? If so, we need to get started. This is ridiculous. We can see this coming.

89 So, to recap yesterday, Biden had called a lid for the day. Trump had three rallies in Pennsylvania (before returning to DC to watch ACB be sworn in), and mocked Biden for hiding in his basement.

In response, Biden's people quickly set up a Biden appearance in Pennsylvania, twenty miles from his house, where he appeared for twenty-eight minutes.

Biden was asked about his "light public schedule", Biden replied:

"We're constantly - there has not been a day that hasn't been a 12-hour day yet."

So, what is Biden doing during his twelve-hour "work day"?

- Computer games
- Doing 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles (DOCTOR Jill has to help them with those)
- Watching Matlock reruns
- Getting his daily transfusion of the blood of teenagers
- Engaging in "memory care" exercises under the care of a trained therapist
- Telling anyone who will listen to him about life in Scranton in 1957
-Staring blankly into space, with his mouth half-open

The possibilities are endless!

Twitter placed a label and a fact-check link on the tweet, warning that it might be "misleading about how to participate in an election or another civic process."

It also stopped other users from liking, retweeting, or replying to the tweet, a company representative confirmed to Business Insider. The aim was to "significantly reduce the tweet's visibility," the person said.

It will be a BEAUTIFUL thing to watch as these marxists will be unemployed (oh take their security clearances too as they are being fired) and experiencing what the real world goes through.

Too complicated; postulates a complicated plan when a much more simple slip up, easily explainable, is more likely.

Remember that AOC's Green New Deal calls for the elimination of all. All of the activist left wing base has been calling for it; all of the corporate grifters who see huge profits to be made from the takeover of the energy industry have been calling for it; Tom Steyer spent millions of dollars of his own money calling for this. Joe has been hearing it from everyone around him since the campaign started.

What has been hard is that he has had to walk a tightrope and pretend that he WON'T kill the oil business, that he WON'T let AOC have her way and kill the oil industry. It has been getting harder and harder. So, late in the debate, as Joe was losing his focus, this topic came up, and Joe couldn't help but say what he knew that *everyone* on his side both thought and intended. He accidentally told the Truth; that's why they're finding his words impossible to disavow.

236 If President Trump wins reelection next week, he will have a tremendous
opportunity to do just that. Gut the regulatory state and empty the
departments of the thousands of apparatchiks who have nurtured the Deep
State. And a rational Supreme Court will be much more supportive of a
return to basic principles!

I used to believe that this was a solution. Sorry to say that there are dozens of powerful corporations ready to to cut off access to their markets unless consumers bend to their will.

Delta Airlines put over 400 passengers onto a "no-fly list" because they would not wear a virtue-signaling square of paper over their faces.

Add that in to the mobs of wine moms and Karens who want to be able to dictate how everyone else lives and your regulatory state gets replaced by SJW corporations and HOA presidents.

I guess this is the part when I get the lecture about starting my own airline if I am unhappy.

Get out of REITs that are exposed to the DC commercial real estate market. Too much occupancy and not enough tenants courtesy of the 'rona. Most beltway bandits are telecommuting and don't need the office space. Rents have been dropping, just to maintain occupancy. I live in the DC metro, and own a home here, but we didn't overpay. When houses in my commie infested neighborhood are selling for 900K+, it's a bubble. Bubble needs to burst. It will hurt me, a little, but, in the long run it will be better.

276 Amendments? Let me offer these for your consideration:

1) All laws apply equally to Congress and the People. Congress may not exempt itself from impact of legislative regulations.

2) All 'Executive Orders' shall have a time limit (120 or 180 days) and must be approved by Congress within that time or expire.

3) Judicial bodies have a time limit from filing to hearing to decision. Failure to meet such deadline/s is subject to removal and/or salary reduction.

4) Chief Justice to give annual public 'State of the Judiciary' declaration. This to include 'social/cultural issues' arising in the courts and requiring Congressional attention.

5) A specific prohibition against 'Judicial Legislation' - issues to be determined on United States law not on current social conditions and issues. Extra judicial sources such as foreign courts/laws/constitutions - partisan 'friends of the court' - and statements by persons not present in the issues before the Court are to be ignored. Decisions based on such matters are to be deemed as void.

I've got 3 others but I deem them minor and flawed.
These I consider necessary and workable.

I cannot imagine that being good electorally for the Democratic Party a week before the election.

My local rag is also all about full hospitals. A neighbor is an ER doc. He works at a more rural hospital about 30 miles away so it's not quite apples to apples. But he said since day 1 of the WuFlu his hospital has seen no significant increase in patients or any shortages of anything. You'd think if the hospitals in town were at full capacity there would be some overflow to his hospital. But there isn't. Which tells me all the stories about it are total bullshit.

NY is always blue so my presidential vote won't count in the general too much, other than I hope to help give Trump a referendum and to keep trending red so we can someday God willing break away from downstate. But of course I voted Red all the way down so that helps.
It was an older crowd, it being morning on a work day so more likely pro trump but it's hard to tell where I live. Nobody was talking about who they were voting for and nobody had any political gear on. But they wouldn't, because that's just the kind of neighborhood I live in. Mrs. Cooper reasoned that the unusually high turnout is a sign that people are coming out for Trump. The church we voted at is right on a very busy street and we had several cars honking and shouting "GO TRUMP" as they drove by.
I'm in a suburb of Albany. So it's kind of a mix. Albany County went something like 60/40 for Clinton in '16. But that's because of the city and the colleges. The suburbs are reddish/purple for sure. I live in a village that's kind of a reddish enclave in the county.
Last year I saw tons of Trump signs and some Hillary sings in the neighborhood. This year, I see a lot less political signs at all. Way fewer than 2016, not many for either candidate. Although I took a bike ride Saturday and of the few signs out, the Trump ones outnumbered Biden 3 to 1.I've been thinking about what the lack of signs means, and I had kind of an epiphany. I think people don't really care about any of the election news or all the drama. They don't live on Twitter or care about what the news says. They, like me, knew who they were voting for 3 years ago and nothing is going to change that. No need to talk about it or put up a sign or anything. They're just going to go vote and that's that.

Was that the one where he was babbling about 'cunity college? A significant part of the speech was simply unintelligible. It's beyond remarkable that a man functioning at this level is a presidential candidate at all.

Conrad Black was on Maria B this morning to advertise his book about Trump. I burst out laughing at this sentence that was part of a larger comment. " The Democrats picked up Joe and Kamala out of a ditch and put them in as the candidates to block Sander's run, then put Sanders platform in ."

The thought of Kamela and Biden lying face down in a weed and trash infested mucky ditch after the primaries started was hilarious. And accurate.

Houston dems brag that they've got a million votes from Houston. Nothing is certain yet, nothing is proved. It may just be hot air on their part.

On the news last night they reported that Harris County, which includes Houston, has had 1.14ish million early votes. Obliviously those are not all D's, so think that they are doing a little wish casting. For an FYI, there are about 2.4 million registered voters in Harris County.

Dems have contempt for their voters. Same as the GOPe has contempt for ITS voters. Remember Harry Reid and his comments about how the visitors to the Capitol Building smell so bad?

One of many reasons why Bernie has been their rock star the last 2 elections is because Bernie doesn't give off that same vibe of "don't stand so close to me". Bernie rallies featured bands that millennial and Gen Z wanted to see, like Vampire Weekend and Bon Hiver.

It's move/counter-move on an electoral map. If they can somehow flip Georgia, they offset losing Michigan. And they're not going to risk having local media report 20 people showed up at a Biden rally in Detroit, while 20,000 showed up at a Trump rally in Grand Rapids.

Basically, they're behaving like you would expect a losing campaign that was trying to avoid getting blown out to behave.

Unless you believe the polls. Then they're behaving like you would expect a triumphant campaign that was trying to run up the score, but not too much, would behave.

There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

I'm not sure if the Uber/Lyft issue will affect this election much. I am sure it's going to help drive the State's economy further into the ground, and drive ever more productive people to leave the state for good.

And it's important to note why California is doing this - Uber and Lyft are not unionized because they use Independent Contractors; they compete with the heavily unionized Taxi and Transportation industries.

A very large portion of the money earned by those unionized companies (and their employees) is kicked back to the Democrat Party of California. That's why the California Dems could not care in the slightest about who it hurts, or what it does to the economy. They are protecting a huge source of their own grift, and they will do anything to keep it going.

As a young lad of 29, I never understood the appeal of Cher? Even in my youth, when she was straddling the gun on the USS Iowa for a music video, she looked like a worn out horse.

However, YouTube randomly put a video of her on the Carol Burnet show on my recommended videos, and I have to say, she was kinda hot 80 years ago or whatever.

You're welcome! Tell him to check out the Old State House; in the basement is the Edes and Gill print shop, which is a replica of an 18th century printer's shop (my kind of thing) and right outside is a marker designating the site of the Boston Massacre.

The Old City Hall nearby is a Ruth's Chris now, but a lovely example of Second Empire architecture.

And I haven't been there in years, but if he can visit the Warren Tavern in Charlestown, it's worth a look. It was the first building re-erected after the Brits burned the town during the battle of Bunker Hill.

And tell him to avoid "Cheers" on Beacon Street and at Faneuil Hall like the plague.

433 Court packing is mostly a Dem base rallying ploy since they couldn't really do anything about ACB's confirmation. The base would have loved a scorched-earth, Kav-like confirmation process, but it was judged that it would look too bad to normies to be faking up rape accusations and racism allegations against a mother of seven so close to an election.

The only problem for the Dem establishment is they sometimes end up with the opposite of GOP establishment's "failure theatre" ... "theatre failure." Theatre failure is when the pretend position that has been cynically adopted has to be made real even though it'll be an electoral and policy disaster.

438 Why Carly Fiorina backs Joe Biden's tax hikes

"Not all taxation is bad taxation," the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said
at the Oct. 26 Yahoo Finance All-Markets Summit. "his issue is, is the
level of taxation reasonable? And for what purpose are we taxing? And I
think what Joe Biden has proposed is certainly a reasonable level of
taxation on corporations and on those individuals making over $400,000."

Fiorina, who ran against Trump as a Republican in 2016, endorsed Biden
earlier this year. Biden's top priority, she says, should be ending the partisan hostility
Trump loves to stoke:

Guess what, welcome to Cali on the Chesapeake, with crappy weather. If people had just got off their butts, maybe, the legislature wouldn't have gone full commie. Oh, thank you too VA GOP for doing a crappy job in getting candidates to run. Nope VA is gone.

451 234 A few primers on GA

Atlanta also had a taste of BLM including the sacking of Buckhead-wealthy people do not like having their shopping district trashed nor did the folks appreciate the sacking of the area around the Mercedes Benz stadium.

Note that the DA involved lost his reelection bid regardless of wrapping himself in the movement.

Newt's district was significantly more rural--the new 6th is basically trending hipster until it is probably significantly redistricted in 2022 by moving some of these voters to Hank Johnson's and Lewis's old districts.

If Stacey could not come close in GA, then I doubt Biden will do it.

The way around that is you have very generous term limits. The problem isn't necessarily the guys who are there for 20 to 30 years, it's the guys who've been there for 30 to 40 years and refuse to leave. So 24 years in the House or the Senate (if you last so long).

On Monday night, Justice Brett Kavanaugh released a radical and brazenly partisan opinion that dashed any hopes he, as the Supreme Court's new median justice, might slow-walk the court's impending conservative revolution, while also threatening the integrity of next week's election. In an 18-page lecture, the justice cast doubt on the legitimacy of many mail ballots and endorsed the most sinister component of Bush v. Gore.

No, it is not, and here is why: compared to 2016 Trump has not lost any of the white voters who voted for him in 2016. He is doing better among black and Hispanic voters. In Georgia those facts are dominant. Winning Georgia, for the Dems, is one of Hunter's crack smoking dreams.

Why
would they vote for the racist??? NBC asked some leftists. Well the
Vietnamese have no problem with him calling it the China virus and don't
like communism. How awful of them. Trump's "masculinist approach to
foreign policy" makes him engaging to certain segments of Indian
American men.

They knew. Jefferson estimated the lifespan of this type of government to be around 300 years.

I don't think we need a radical change though, just a solid service life extension plan and some well-implemented adjustments. Whatever changes we make will also be corrupted in time, it's the nature of man's relationship to power... but if we do a good enough job, and leave good documentation, our posterity may be able to do their own fixes and renew this old republic yet again.

Liberty is never more than a generation from extinction, but we can reset the clock.

495 253 The New York Times had an article explaining that the Chinese Death Plague was ravaging Green Bay, so no one was going to Packer games or sports bars, and that the "hospitals were full".

The sole evidence provided for the "hospitals were full" claim was that one physician assistant in Green Bay said they were overwhelmed.

If you look at Wisconsin state records, the hospitals in the Green Bay are are a bit over three-quarters full.

The MSM is going all out with the "everyone in Wisconsin is gonna die" stories, which will all mysteriously disappear a week from now.

512 460 As the Senate was voting to elevate Amy Coney Barrett to a lifetime position on the Supreme Court on Monday night, the immediate stakes for the entire country were made suddenly clear by a critical election ruling from the court she now joins. On Monday night, Justice Brett Kavanaugh released a radical and brazenly partisan opinion that dashed any hopes he, as the Supreme Court's new median justice, might slow-walk the court's impending conservative revolution, while also threatening the integrity of next week's election. In an 18-page lecture, the justice cast doubt on the legitimacy of many mail ballots and endorsed the most sinister component of Bush v. Gore. America's new median justice is not a friend to democracy, and we may pay the price for Barrett's confirmation in just eight days.

Substitute aristocracy for corporations and you pretty much see the same thing. Germany with its principalities was a particular mess with outside forces such as France, Austria, etc. using as bought proxies in their wars and diplomacy.

There is little new under the sun. Globalization is simply an attempt by the people grasping for power and money in order to subjugate others. The newcomers to the religion like Williamson above are the worst as they are trying to get their ticket punched--they do that by disparaging the very existence of where they came from.

Show entries put in for the Dallas cluster in early December.

Pre-COVID, making show entries was easy. All you had to do was be sure you made them before they closed at noon on Wednesday two weeks before the show weekend. Now shows have limited entries, so to avoid getting shut out we have to know when entries open, which can be 8:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 5:00 PM, 8:00 PM or whenever.

There's another consideration for us. The earlier the entry is made, the lower the armband number. Judges almost always have the dogs in the ring lined up in catalogue order, lowest armband number first. By getting our entry in the second entries open, Delilah gets a number that puts her ahead of her #BigKennel rival. Lila moves beautifully while the rival slobs around the ring like the rest of her line. The contrast, Her Majesty says, is striking.

It takes a Machiavellian mind like Her Majesty's to think of stuff like that. No wonder I call her The Field Marshal.

Why Carly Fiorina backs Joe Biden's tax hikes

"Not all taxation is bad taxation," the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said

at the Oct. 26 Yahoo Finance All-Markets Summit. "his issue is, is the

level of taxation reasonable? And for what purpose are we taxing? And I

think what Joe Biden has proposed is certainly a reasonable level of

taxation on corporations and on those individuals making over $400,000."

Fiorina, who ran against Trump as a Republican in 2016, endorsed Biden

earlier this year. Biden's top priority, she says, should be ending the partisan hostility

And when the Democrats do the same thing to "protect" a legislative "repeal" of the 2nd Amendment?

What is more needed is an Amendment "clarifying" Congressional Powers and firming up the scope of the Bill Rights, like clarifying that electronic storage counts as "papers" for searches and such, or that the 9th Amendment only refers to negative Rights that the government cannot transgress and not positive Rights that the government must provide for everyone, and thus roll back a few hundred precedents rather than wait for them to be overturned, sometime, maybe, ever, not really happening, forget about it.
