TIL 7-2 is a narrow vote
"9-0, what a narrow vote"
5 people would have swung the entire outcome
How crazy is that
do you have 12 total like canada?
no just 9
we have 12, but they do not all have to be there
so as long as there is some multiple of 3 sitting it is fine
there is no constitutionally required amount, its just an unwritten rule at this point
We've had as few as 5 iirc
the president can appoint as many as they want, but the senate can refuse to instate them
trump should just appoint 100
Kappa
Very often we have an even number of judges, due to deadlock in appointments
So we'll get retarded ties
Waste of time/money by everyone
see, we are required to have an odd number
which makes sense
i'm not surprised at all
I don't think anyone could anticipate the level of gridlock in congress
the two incompetent judges voted against
Sotomayor is dumb
Ginsburg is just old
RBG is senile
People talk in her ear at this point
the implications of voting for forcing the gay cake are so extremely severe that no sane person should vote for it
yeah, non necessity services should not be forced into serving anyone
I've read good arguments on both sides of it
I can understand if it was a hospital or some shit, but a baker should be allowed to refuse whatever the fuck they want.
But I feel like all the arguments in favour of forcing it neglect the whole "human" element of businesses
Rob with the hot takes
"but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong"
"this is an admission of guilt"
I don't know if you follow it at all Pika
as far as i know there is still absolutely no evidence that Trump was aware of any collusion in his campaign
but the current """scandal""" of the week is based on a 2005 meeting
I have missed that one
I usually try to keep up on all this shit
because it is funny watching (((powerful people))) in the media push narrative after narrative
i stopped caring because its all smoke without flame
and its constant
I swear it's the most obnoxious story the news could peddle
Everything is Russia's fault
It's like the red scare all over again
during the red scare at least we were sort of at war with them
apparently the Democrats have openly given up the chance of regaining a majority in the next election
the "blue wave" was always impossible
This midterm they are defending 3x as many seats
isn't it really hard to beat a sitting president?
It just doesn't work that way
Midterms Pika, that's this year
not that pika
what are the midterms
the presidential is in 2020
senate
Senate seats last for 6 years in America, and states are staggered
interesting
and house
So this term, a lot of democratic seats are up in the air, few republican seats
Because 2012 (when they were voted in) was an Obama election year
basically, the democrats keep being retarded and trump keeps getting stuff done
so the democrats have no chance
And Leg, I think at this point the Republican party would need to essentially split in two for the democrats to win the house
they should though
3 party system
3 party system is okay I guess
although the NDP has literally never won anything of importance
there is not a three party system in the US because the way congress works converges to two necessarily
I guess we are technically a 4 party system since bloc wins a fair number of seats in quebec
but other than that they have no power
k rob is retarded and doesn't understamnd politics
