What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Minsky Moment]

Any judge writing the opinion Kavanaugh wrote would be a target for criticism because it unnecessarily and gratuitously echoed talking points of the Trump campaign.  The fact that it was Kavanaugh, already perceived as being partisan in a political sense, just adds fuel.  It also raises questions about why those points were raised.  The Wisconsin decision was easily justifiable based on the Purcell precedent holding that federal courts should refrain from last minute changes to state election rules.  Kavanaugh cited and relied on that principle but then went off on a tangent about the substantive benefits of a strict election day receipt cutoff. Application of Purcell  would suggest the GOP challenge to Pennsylvania would fail - the Kavanaugh opinion looks a lot like an opening shot to flip the result of that case.

Three coats of spray tan are not going to do the trick.  Better put on a fourth.

The chances of the next Senate voting by a two-thirds majority to impeach Kavanaugh are nil, unless he does something overt.

But stuff like this (heh - butt stuff) is why such highly politicized candidated, rammed through after significant controversy, are problematic. They are under a microscope from the other side. Any error they make, will be viewed as either incompetence or partisanship, regardless of whether it's an innocent mistake by them or one of their clerks. And it will reduce the acceptance by the population of their rulings unless they act "cleanly".

IIRC, this is why Thomas rarely speaks. It started as a way to avoid that very thing happening, and became something he relished as his reputation.

Kavanaugh has clearly chosen another route.

I've read it's because he's embarrassed by his Geechee accent.

Geechee?

Indeed: "potentially flip the results of an election." flip the result"?!? It would not flip anything. It would be part of the result.

I thought you only needed a simple majority for people who aren't the President.

Votes being counted could flip the result of an election.

Nope same rules as the President: majority in the house to impeach, 2/3 in the Senate to remove.

No, they wouldn't. It's semantics, but it's important semantics in the context. Votes being counted do not flip the results. They are the results. This way of speaking implies you already have "the" result that is somehow modified by some external, subsequent influence.

Yes, that was the joke. As if the result of an election can be determined separately without counting votes.

I understand that in today's political climate it is hard to say something so stupid and so illogical that people pick up you are not being serious so I understand
