After listening to that podcast and afterwards reading a little more on the topic, I tend to think it will be less of an issue than many envisage. Perhaps they will flirt with something which was what he was suggesting but substantial change is unlikely.
As the guest pointed out, Robert's understands that the legitimacy of the court is paramount. Some judges like Thomas are very conservative but partisanship is not all that present once elected.
Robert's himself has become more liberal over time as Chief Justice while even Kavaunagh has voted approximately 50% of the time alongside Gorsuch(Trumps other nomination) and 50% with Breyer(generally Liberal).
It'll be interesting to see how it develops but may end up in situ.

Touches on a few pieces similar to Lord Sumption from Reith lectures on decisions given by Judicial branch that might be better taken by legislative.
You listening to anything decent, you like NPR if I remember?

RIP Bunny 'Striker' Lee.
Prolific producer, musician and label owner whose deft hands were all over the sound of Jamaica in the 70s and 80s, with a decent claim to 'inventing' reggae.
Here's the unsurpassable 'cherry oh baby' riddim in effect...

Podcasts about Crypto/Audio Engineering take up most of my listening time now, which aren't really of much general interest, but the NPR fresh air podcast is great in general, it has a nice mixture of arts and politics, the interviewer Terry Gross is fantastic. The episode on Pence was very interesting, a really good portrait of him rather than the caricature he is normally presented as. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/26/76461...ent-mike-pence

Getting caught in the act alone is probably the most embarrassing thing that can happen to you. I thought everyone was in bed out cold BUT I didnt notice her creeping footsteps . The door burst open I fumbled but couldn't hide what I was doing . Extreme mortification.

Kamala doing well though.
Pence really has a better way about him than Trump. You can at least respect the man.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Doesn't seem like they were any gotcha moments there so lets call it a score draw.
The Trump ticket is still miles behind and the driver of the clown car is firing out tweets calling for Obama and Biden to be arrested. Those must be some good drugs his pet doctor has him on.

Randolph

Connolly McGoldrick McClean
The entire back line is familiar with it.
Is McClean really 1st choice?
I'd prefer Shane Long there to mirror Connolly on the other side.﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

Try this: Visualise (picture, imagine, whatever you want to call it) a ball on a table. Now imagine someone walks up to the table, and gives the ball a push. What happens to the ball?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now, answer these questions:
What color was the ball?
What gender was the person that pushed the ball?
What did they look like?
What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?
What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?
And now the important question: Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/gender/size, etc. after being asked these questions?
When I was younger I didn't realise how vividly other people are able to visualise things. Kinda just never thought anything of it. Best I can see is as if something was far away on a B&W TV. So for that set of questions above, I only have a very vague idea of a table/bar/person in my head. Dreams are more like ideas than visuals. So while I can lucid dream, it's not particularly exciting. And I never not known when I'm dreaming.
It's a bit like internal monologues, some people have them, some people don't, but people generally assume that everyone else has the same as them.

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostI have and the debunking of it doesn't stand up. There are two sides regarding Charlston and Confederate statues one sides argument is racist and the others isn't... dressing it up as he was only speaking specifically about the statues doesn't wash, its just denial of what is patently clear to anyone who isn't in deep denial of the fact that Trump is an out and out racist.
Originally posted by TranscriptTrump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."
Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."
Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?"
Reporter: "I do love Thomas Jefferson."
Trump: "Okay, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue?
"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."
But he does make it clear he was referencing the people who were there to protest peacefully. And he literally condemned neo-nazis.
Which, as Pence pointed out, Harris omitted. Which part of Pence’s “factcheck” are you saying doesn’t reflect the transcript above?

Could he gave phrased it better? Absolutely.
