Yancey Ward said...: From an earlier thread, a commenter named Brian pointed out something- Tulsi Gabbard won a delegate in Somoa last night and would be eligible for the March 15th debate under the rules that have stood for the last three, but, lo and behold, the DNC announces that a delegate no longer qualifies one for the debate. Tough luck, Tulsi, welcome to Calvinball.; 3/4/20, 7:37 PM
traditionalguy said...: Dem Senate Minority leader issued terroristic threats to Justices Gorsuch and kavanaugh. And he was not on the floor of Congress. So when will the SCOTUS order his arrest?

Achilles said...: After everyone got all mad at Trump for calling Justices democrat and republican justices I wonder if they will notice that Schumer explicitly threatened violence against 2 judges by name this afternoon.

I think the Democrats are trying to start a civil war to avoid a complete election wipe out.; 3/4/20, 7:40 PM
Yancey Ward said...: If Warren stays in, I bet her useless little pile of 61 delegates qualifies.

In any case, I would be shocked if there are any further debates held. The DNC hasn't put forth this kind of herculean effort only to see Joe Biden undo all of it on a debate stage.; 3/4/20, 7:41 PM
traditionalguy said...: The wife poor mouthed about losing her paper stock profits. She loses it over again every other day now after she regains it back.

So I told her that until she sells a stock, neither a loss or gain has happened. That did not make her feel better. I will keep quiet.; 3/4/20, 7:42 PM

If they do this then they are conceding 2020 to Trump.

Oh, there will be violence this summer. Schumer won't be wielding the bike lock or baseball bat. He has ANTIFA thugs for that,

Hey, Althouse, are you still "neutral"? Cuz you are a "writer" and "observer"? If so, does the value of observing outweigh actual threats by the leading Dem senator against actual SCOTUS justices? If you are willing to address the merits of a political act on the merits, what would justify any future vote for any Dem, knowing that it empowers people like Schumer?; 3/4/20, 8:09 PM

Ken B said...: “ I assume Schumer is threatening to pack the court.”

Obviously not, or his spokesman would not have pretended he wasn’t talking about the court at all.

This was not addressed to the court, but to two justices by name — surname sans title. Packing the court is not even something that will “hit” them, and not is it a “whirlwind “. Mob violence is. It was “unleash the hounds”.; 3/4/20, 8:19 PM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Statement from Chief Justice John G Roberts, Jr.

"This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the court by name and said he wanted to tell them that “You have released a whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know hat hit you if you go forward with the awful decisions.”
Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter."

“Women’s health care rights are at stake and Americans from every corner of the country are in anguish about what the court might do to them.
“Sen Schumer’s comments were a reference to the political price Senate Republicans will pay for putting these justices on the court, and a warning that the justices will unleash a major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision.
For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen. Schumer said, while remaining silent when President Trump attacked Justice Sotomayor and Ginsberg last week, show Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.”; 3/4/20, 8:24 PM

Achilles said...: Another democrat attack.

St. Louis resident Alicia Clarke says she feels as if she has been “failed by the system” and is now “not feeling safe,” and she has good reason to feel this way. After she was savagely beaten and stabbed by her neighbor, her attacker walked free.

"The court considered it decisive that he has an IQ of 49. He is also a Muslim migrant, which may explain both the reluctance to prosecute him and the scant and incomplete coverage this incident has received."

...

"According to KSDK, “a juvenile court official said a staff attorney dropped the case before even going to the judge. The courts weren’t able to comment specifically on this incident, since it involves a juvenile. Clarke said she was told her accused attacker was found incompetent to aid in his own defense because he has an IQ of 49.”"

"No wonder Clarke feels as if she has been failed by the system.

"And it gets worse. Alicia Clarke’s sister, Andrea Clarke Flatley, wrote on Facebook that the attacker gave his sister a broken nose, and that Alicia Clarke now also has “staples in her head and stitches to the puncture wound under her eye” as a result of the attack. Flatley noted that the attacker, whom she named as Hassan, “is a 15 year old refugee from Somalia who lives with his family. He is 6’ and approx 175lbs, much larger than my sister. He has broken into Alicia’s car 3 different times and broken into another neighbor’s house. The police were involved every single time and reported that nothing could be done since he was a minor. Surely this time would be different, though.”

Nope! Good job democrats and democrat voters.

By the way he attacker her and stabbed her in the head with a screw driver. That is attempted murder 2nd degree and assault with a deadly weapon.

But democrats want people like Alicia dead or at the very least beaten and scared.

And most definitely unable to defend themselves.; 3/4/20, 8:32 PM

Yes Schumer just said that to two supreme court justices by name.

That may be what the Chinese in the Wuhan lab were trying to do, or at least modify it.

There is a little similarity to the polio virus, as children were least affected. Salk took 20 years and Sabin almost beat him to it. A man named Brodie had a killed Polio vaccine in 1935 but it didn't work and caused cases of paralytic and fatal polio. This cannot be rushed. The whole thing may have begun in Wuhan as an attempt to learn why bats are not harmed by these viruses.; 3/4/20, 8:46 PM

Remember “punch a nazi”, all the excuses for antifa, Hodgkinson. This is NOT a threat to pack the court or campaign harder.

What Schumer did is a gaffe. He got over excited and he made a physical threat. That was a threat of violence by the mob. He probably didn’t wake up intending to do that. It is not a strategic move, it is a gaffe. But the Democrats must now either disavow it or own it.; 3/4/20, 8:53 PM

Actually I think it’s fewer that have died, but it’s pretty much hospice care. Really frail people in there.

You live closer than I do (I'm north of Redmond). But I don't think LifeCare is "hospice". My impression is that LifeCare is - like most similar facilities - a combination nursing home and rehab facility. The two are probably in different wings or floors. My father ended up in nearby "rehab" floors following various surgeries or hospitalization, but it wasn't until his last few months that he needed full-time "nursing" care.

On TV the other night (KOMO4), a woman was trying to visit her brother who was in rehab following surgery - they wouldn't let her in. It's the ones in the "nursing" part that see to have been most fragile. I know that if my father (who had asthma) had been exposed to Coved-19, he would have been a goner.; 3/4/20, 11:13 PM

Yep. Senator Romney did that. Called it “reprehensible.” And called out Schumer by name for prevarication:

clint said...: Re: Schumer's threats...

New theory this morning: It's about the Democratic Primary. Chuck Schumer is picking a fight in order to unify the Democratic Party against a common enemy.

For a very fleeting moment, just until California finishes counting the absentee ballots and awards the rest of their delegates, Joe Biden is in first place. At this moment, Bernie Sanders finally has just one opponent and needs to go on the attack and show how vulnerable Biden is, but now he can't. You don't pick a fight with the soldier next to you in the middle of a battle.

Democrats will unify today against Donald Trump's supposedly-hypocritical attack against Chuck Schumer and the Illegitimate Supreme Court's attack on a woman's right to choose. And they will unify behind the current frontrunner for the nomination: Joe Biden. Heck, it's a perfect issue for him. Older Democrats have spent their lives watching him grill Supreme Court nominees -- inventing phrases like "Super-Dooper Stare Decisis" in his passionate defense of a woman's right to choose.

And if that means that Bernie Sanders can't land a good punch against Joe Biden in this crucial window in the nomination fight, well that's just a shame. Some things are more important.

*Shrug*

At least that's what it looks like to me, before I've had my second cup of coffee.; 3/5/20, 4:51 AM

Chuck said...: Lol. One of you Trump-Cult fuck heads challenges Mitt Romney this way;

Blogger rcocean said...
"After everyone got all mad at Trump for calling Justices democrat and republican justices I wonder if they will notice that Schumer explicitly threatened violence against 2 judges by name this afternoon.'

Lets see if Mitt Romney says anything. He's criticized Trump for much less.

And when I show you losers exactly where and how Romney condemned Schumer, then I get the response that Romney’s condemnation was from the wrong Twitter account. This is an unusually determined kind of stupid.

So let’s work this some more. Trump wasn’t an idiot simply for his multiple clumsy references to Democratic and Republican judges. Trump called a US District Judge, born in East Chicago and educated at Indiana University “a Mexican judge.”

Trump recently lied about Judge Amy Berman Jackson as she presided over the Roger Stone sentencing, posing a phony question as to whether she had been the judge who put Paul Manafort in “solitary confinement.” She didn’t. It was a lie.

Trump called District Judges who ruled against his proposed travel bans “so-called judges.” And when then-Judge Neil Gorsuch was asked about by by Senator Blumenthal and Gorsuch criticized the remarks, Trump lies again and claimed that Gorsuch had been mischaracterized.

And now Trump is claiming that Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor should recuse themselves from cases involving Trump. Trump is obviously wrong about Sotomayor, and while Justice Ginsburg has said one or two things about Trump personally that may have been ill-advised, the way to make a recusal case is through your appellate counsel, not your Twitter account. As one of nine Supreme Court Justices, the recusal case against Ginsburg is weak.

So while there is every good reason to criticize Schumer for his horrendous remarks about Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, the last person with any standing to make that criticism is Trump.; 3/5/20, 7:21 AM
