The fear of what Judge Cavanaugh would do to women's rights was and is a political arrow of the left wing to overthrow the present regime. Bottom line is that it is not going to happen ... not in an election year and not in my life time will the law of Row vs Wade be over turned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade Quote:

Hot, just in! Abortion war in America declared over and done! Polarization between conservatism and liberalism no longer an issue! State institutions now reassessed as being fully politically neutral and unbiased, because historian research says "Its written on this paper"! People prepare for unconditional love breaking out! Power is no longer fought for.
What a relief!

Canadians British and Polish to be exact. US involvement was limited to Patton's army near Maastricht and the 101st and 82nd during the Battle of Arnhem. We saved a lot of downed US pilots and bomber crew. Apart from that, who supported you lot when you fought against the British for your independence? Indeed, the Dutch Republic as well as the French. So you can thank us for that you bunch of ungrateful colonials!
Hazza!

There is no doubt that people voted for Trump because of his promise to nominate conservative judges to the Supreme court. And no doubt many believed this would lead to reversing Roe v Wade. They should have known better. Ain't gonna happen. That's not saying that having highly qualified people like Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on the bench is a bad thing. Time will tell.

I don't want to see Rove v. Wade reversed but like Kavanaugh I think that precedent should be buttressed by laws specifically legalizing the practice, maybe even a new constitutional amendment so that the arguments he mentioned (and are being cast by the leftists as his own) cannot be used to reverse it. What really makes me happy about the conservative tilt to SCOTUS is on the 2nd Amendment. Kavanaugh gives us a 5-4 pro RKBA court. I'll be even happier if Trump gets to replace Ginsburg too.

The two oldest Justices are Ginsburg age 85 and Stephen Breyer, age 80. Both are from the liberal side of the court. Democrats would lose their minds if Trump got to replace both of them.

Well that's a far different tune than what your countrymen were singing the last time I was there. The ones I met (perhaps they were biased being Nijmegeners) believed that Monty and the Brits had unnecessarily made a bloody shambles of their country and they wished that it had been the US running that part of the front instead. Now i'm not saying that had they got their wish we would really have done any better, but do you seriously think that anyone would have been along to liberate you at all without the US? I mean if you want to call the efforts of the 82nd and 101st "limited" well that's one thing but even aside from the fact that a sizable part of the commonwealth forces was operating equipment that was made in the USA, there's no escaping that if it weren't for us there would have been no west front invasion in 1944 or maybe ever. In fact your liberators, if they ever came at all, would likely have been talking Russian. As for our revolution I believe that Dutch support was limited to some financial loans and secret arms shipments no? French soldiers fought side by side with Americans. They shed their blood, gave their lives and eventually bankrupted themselves for our cause. That is not really the same thing, but thanks all the same and definitely mega dittos for not turning our downed bomber crews over to the Gestapo! You folks are just awesome!

Heads would literally explode. Actually seven Constitutionalists and a couple liberal firebrands for flavor almost sounds like a good mix for SCOTUS.

I never said he was and I don't think your average German was planning for that outcome either, but it did happen, and shows what can happen when the press is no longer free to criticize, and question, and be a thorn in the sides of politicians. Especially noisy ones that don't care what they say seemingly, or who gets hurt in the process.
No, he's not Hitler, I don't think he's smart enough to be that.

Interesting that you'd see hitler, a man who led his country to complete destruction, as smart.

I read Alan Brooke war diaries not too long ago and was surprised to see how little is mentioned about Market-Garden. He did state though, that he thought Monty should have concentrated on clearing the Scheldt instead. |
