Independence Day, celebrates the independence of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire in 1908.
Because apparently, the one thing this country lacks is a true Fascist Theocratic Dictatorship
So much for relying on Romney’s principles. It’s up to the women, ( Collins and Murkowski), and to contrarians like Grassley. to at least stall until after the election.
I had an evangelical friend who has turned sour on Ttump share with me yesterday his best-case scenario: getting ACB seated on SCOTUS and ridding ourselves from Ttump on Nov 3.
Abortion rights; Roe and Casey; are just a side-show for Judge Barrett.
Where does she stand on settled law regarding birth control, like Griswold and Eisenstadt? Does she strictly follow Catholic canon law that states birth control is wrong?
And if you even ask that question, you get attacked as being a Catholic basher. Ask Dianne Feinstein.
…we may never know until she's seated? (I promise I wasn't channeling Rushbo yesterday)
Rush Limbaugh encourages Senate to skip hearings for Trump's SCOTUS nominee
Where does she stand on Galileo?
She has said, quoting loosely here, that her law degree was simply a step in implementing the Kingdom of God. I never heard of a Catholic who was working for Armageddon, but there is much I don't understand.
Simply put. She is a religious zealot. Another sad soul who couches her resentment and meanness in the trappings of Jesus Christ, with no real comprehension of his message.
I can get away with the question. I was born and raised a "mackerel snapper." Even spent my freshman year of high school in a monastery.
Ah, but are you still a Catholic? If you’re an apostate (not a heretic, thanks theology class) then you’re even worse than a Jew and I’m sure the conservative Catholics would have no problem praying for some crazy person to rid them of a turbulent apostate.
If you’re born a Catholic, one is still counted on the membership rolls. However, I’m a “non-theist.” I don’t accept labels created by somebody else.
Sure, you’re counted by the Catholics on the official roles. That’s why you are an apostate rather than a heretic. Don’t you remember this from theology? Heretics are semi-forgivable for being wrong because they’ve never known the truth. Yeah, they need to “sit down and shut up” if they question anyone of the true faith, but they don’t need to die for it. They just need to know their place.
Haven’t Ttump and Barr effectively gutted any notion of settled law?
And does she support the death penalty for eating meat on Friday?
She probably feels Pope Francis is too left wing.
…or stoning adulterers? Maybe Newt and Calista can weigh in from Rome?
That's what they would call a win/win situation.
That's probably a decent strategy for them.
Aunt Lydia is from the extremist Catholic tradition, the one that inspired the Handmaid's Tale. After the dystopian book came out, they DID change the term Handsmaid.
Grassley has already said he's deferring to the Chair of Judiciary and the Majority Leader, and will vote based on the merits of the nominee.
Romney is still processing his anger of not being the one who was nominating a justice in 2016.

Tune: Big John:

Every morning in the Senate you could see him arrive
He stood 5-foot-4 and IQ 45.
Kind of slow to grasp that ethics bit
Pearl-clutching Blanche was a hypocrite.
Big talk
Small walk
Hypocrite Blanche.
Four years ago he swore he would never choose
a Supreme Court Justice in a election year.
Then he got new orders from Putin’s stooge
And got on his knees to kiss Trump’s fat rear.
Big talk
Small walk
Hypocrite Blanche.
Now every day in the Senate he tells the garrison
How he trembles in fear of Jamie Harrison.
Because voters might choose a honest man of renown
Over a lying pearl-clutching hypocrite clown.
But we will finally learn the truth
In 42 days in the voting booth.
Big talk
Small walk
Hypocrite Blanche.
Does Bloomberg read CoPols?
When he decided to drop $100m in Florida, it was suggested here that he use the money to pay the poll tax for felons who had done their time.
Well, Looky Here.
