Who is crazier, Marcotte or Jennifer Rubin? Pico makes a strong case for Marcotte Some highlights, but go read it all. Start out with Marcotte claiming certain justices are somehow not legitimate because ELECTIORAL COLLEGE BAD!
It is also that, of the six justices who voted to uphold abortion bans, only one — Justice Clarence Thomas — was appointed by a president who won the majority of the vote. Both Trump and Bush obtained the White House, and the ability to nominate justices, because of the archaic electoral college system that overweighs the votes of rural whites and marginalizes the majority of Americans who support reproductive rights.
Again, this is factually untrue. While the younger George Bush received fewer popular votes than Vice President Al Gore in 2000, he not only won the popular vote in 2004, 62,040,610 to 59,028,444 for Senator John Kerry (D-M), but with a 50.7% to 48.3% margin, he won an absolute majority of all votes cast. John Roberts was appointed by the younger President Bush on July 19, 2005, which was in Mr Bush’s second term. Justice Alito was nominated on October 31, 2005, also during the President’s second term.
To compound the injustice of this, one of the Trump-nominated judges, Justice Neil Gorsuch, has no right to sit in his seat. He is only there because Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., illegally used his power as then-Senate Majority Leader to refuse to hold hearings for then-President Barack Obama’s 2020 nominee to the court, Merrick Garland.
Go read it all, as you can tell from Marcotte’s babbling incoherently about the Electoral College, she has either never taken a basic civics course, or is just as dumb as a dried up mud puddle.
Thanks for the linky love!
Mr Gator said that Miss Marcotte “has either never taken a basic civics course, or is just as dumb as a dried up mud puddle.” I would point out that the two are not mutually exclusive!
Inspite of their claims to be elite intellectuals I am yet to see any high degree of intelligence rear its head in Washington.
How true sir, how true.
