The Trump administration will encourage the nation’s school superintendents and college presidents to adopt race-blind admissions standards, abandoning an Obama administration policy that called on universities to consider race as a factor in diversifying their campuses, Trump administration officials said.
In a pair of policy guidance documents, the Obama Education and Justice departments told elementary and secondary schools and college campuses to use “the compelling interests” established by the court to achieve diversity. They concluded that the Supreme Court “has made clear such steps can include taking account of the race of individual students in a narrowly tailored manner.” The guidance was controversial at the time that it was issued, for its far-reaching interpretation of the law. Justice officials said that pages of hypothetical scenarios offered in the guidance were particularly problematic, as they clearly bent the law to specific policy preferences.So the previous administration had encouraged schools to basically sidestep the court rulings, and instead told them to use their best judgement in terms of how to factor in race. The was an obvious and blatant misinterpretation of court rulings, and was likely intentional. The current administration (which will take a media beating on this one) is declaring that schools should be race-blind, other than in the specific cases outlined by the courts.
I have a feeling that we are getting to the point in our history (especially in the wake of the Harvard charges of discriminating against Asians and Whites in favor of Blacks and Hispanics) where the majority of people would like us to actually be race blind when it comes to things like school, job, and other applications. Of course asking people to treat everyone the same, regardless of race will be seen by many as... yep you guessed it... racist.

It is amazing how little Trump has done to nearly erase the lost years.

Looks like George Soros will be coughing up more money.
Not my President Oprah is not going to run in 2020.
Young white Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party en masse following the election of President Donald Trump in 2016, a new poll reveals.
The latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll surveyed more than 16,000 registered voters between the ages 18 to 34 over the course of the last three months of 2018. This same poll was conducted in 2016 around the same time period."
Oh oh , and.
"
President Trump’s reshaping of the GOP from being aligned to the Chamber of Commerce to a party serving the interests of America’s working and middle class is winning over young white American men en masse.
Ahead of Trump’s election to the presidency in 2016, nearly 50 percent of young white men favored Democrats, and 36 percent favored the GOP. That 14-point gain has flipped, and young white men now favor the GOP over the Democrats by 46 percent to 37 percent."
MAGA.
The Lost Year.
"The last time Gallup asked this question — December 2012, when President Barack Obama was president — only 47 percent of respondents answered “ahead.” That survey’s results also showed 50 percent of respondents answered “behind.”"
Or
"A Gallup poll conducted in June reveals 55 percent of American adults believe the best days for the country are “ahead of us.”
Those who said the best days are “behind us” came in at 41 percent."
Here's another FAVORITE STORY
"It shouldn't be lost on anyone that this is a case of Donald Trump parroting Fox News, which is peddling the claims of an Iranian hardliner," Prescott told CNN.
Jake Sullivan, a former Obama official who was involved at the start of the Iran nuclear negotiations, also skewered Trump for relying on Fox News' thin report to make what he called a "completely false" claim.
"What is interesting about this is that what happened is a hardline crank in Iran just randomly made this comment, Fox News writes a story on it, and then Trump tweets it," Sullivan said on "The Situation Room."
"He had every opportunity to call people in his own Department of Homeland Security and State Department to ask whether or not this was true. And they would have told him it wasn't," Sullivan added. "Instead, he relies on Fox News. And the scary thing is that he's increasingly relying on sources like Fox News to get his intelligence rather than the professionals in his own government."
Neither a spokesperson for Fox News nor the White House responded to a request for comment Tuesday afternoon.
This would not be the first time Trump has tweeted false or questionable claims that have originated in right-wing media. The President has a long history of stoking conspiracy theories that target his political rivals.
IT WILL BE NICE WHEN WE AGAIN HAVE A REAL PRESIDENT
GOP Lawmakers Lose Patience with Trump’s Tariffs
July 3, “Republican senators are at their breaking point with Donald Trump’s protectionist trade blitz,” Politico reports.
“Not a party meeting goes by these days where multiple Republicans don’t vent that the president isn’t listening to them — and plot how to fight back. The mounting frustration with the Republican president is a warning sign for the party amid what’s been a surprisingly favorable stretch.
“But Republican senators say they can’t get the president to comprehend that his tariffs offensive could upend all of that progress in short order. Commodity prices in the heartland are sagging, U.S. allies are retaliating with tariffs of their own — and GOP leaders are fretting that the booming economy is about to go into a pre-midterms nosedive.”
No, No, No. Everything is going to be WONDERFUL. BEAUTIFUL.
So much winning. Keep going.
"Labor shortages are raising wages in a variety of blue-collar jobs, says Glassdoor, a recruitment and wage-tracking company.
“With the economy running hot, we’re finally starting to see pay raises for many of America’s lowest-paying jobs,” said a July 2 statement from the firm"
One of the stories today that didn't amuse S. Scott if he gave a shit about the country.
Nunes got the finger from the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report.
The Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have said the NSA, CIA, and FBI got it wrong when they assessed that the point of Russia’s 2016 election interference was to harm Hillary Clinton and elect Donald Trump. But now their counterpart in the Senate, in a bipartisan report, said the intelligence agencies got it right.
In April, the House Intelligence Committee Republicans put out an extensive report exonerating Trump from accusations of collusion with Russian President Vladimir Putin, delivering a conclusion that Democrats had come to consider pre-ordained. Democrats quickly distanced themselves from it. Chief panel Democrat Adam Schiff said at the time that the GOP report suffered from a “raft of misleading conclusions, insinuations, attempts to explain away inconvenient facts, and arguments meant to protect the President and his campaign.”
One of the key findings of the GOP report, led by critical White House ally Devin Nunes of California, was that the three intelligence agencies erred in their assessment of “Putin’s strategic intentions” behind his election interference. Nunes’ report struck a delicate balance. It conceded that the election interference happened and that most of the intelligence community analysis (ICA) “held up to scrutiny,” but accused the agencies of not meeting their own standards for tradecraft.
“While most of the analysis contained in the ICA held up to scrutiny,” Nunes’ report held, “the committee found that ICA judgments on Putin’s strategic objectives”—that is to say defeating Clinton and electing Trump—“failed to meet most of the analytic standards set forth in the primary guiding document for IC analysis, Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 203.” Such shortfalls “undermine confidence,” Nunes’ report continued, but they weren’t listed as problems with the underlying circumstances of the Russian campaign. Nunes and company instead faulted the agencies for not “incorporat[ing] analysis of alternatives” or more fulsomely explaining the differences in confidence levels between the NSA, FBI, and CIA.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, however, reached a much firmer conclusion: The January 2017 intelligence community was right to find the Russians meddled in the election to defeat Clinton and aid Trump.
“The Committee found that the ICA provided a range of all-source reporting to support these assessments,” it found. “A body of reporting,” from classified intelligence to Russian media, “showed that Moscow sought to denigrate Secretary Clinton.” The ICA finding on Putin’s objectives used similarly cumulative Russian media, similarities between Trump positions and Putin’s interests “and a body of intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for Trump.”
Information “obtained subsequent to the publication of the ICA provides further support” for what the CIA called a Russian aspiration “to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible,” the Senate panel found.
As for the internal analytic disagreement on Putin’s pro-Trump/anti-Clinton objectives—NSA had “moderate confidence” in it; CIA and FBI had “high confidence”—the committee, chaired by North Carolina Republican Richard Burr, found no evidence of analytic malpractice.
Quinnipiac poll found that most Americans think the President is a racist.
A majority of U.S. voters say President Trump has emboldened racists to express their beliefs openly, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.
Fifty-five percent of voters said Trump has made it easier for those with racist beliefs to share those views publicly. Thirty-nine percent disagreed.
The Quinnipiac poll took the country's pulse on issues such as civility, immigration and President Trump's character.
Forty-nine percent of voters polled also said Trump is racist while 47 said he is not.
Many Trump critics have attributed the rise in white nationalist voices in public to Trump's rhetoric on immigration.
The NAACP last week blamed the rising number of hate crimes in the U.S. to Trump's language and policies.
"From campaign to election, this president has spewed the language of division and hate and it has manifested in not only racist policies, but in racists acts against people of color and other groups," Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, said in the statement.
Thanks to the "good people on both sides" thanks to the President of hate speech in America.
Hate crimes against black, Hispanic, Jewish and gay Americans have risen for the fourth year in a row, according to a study released last week by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism.
Trump has denied accusations that he is racist, saying he is "the least racist person."
As the tarrifs imposed by the President hit the automobile industry as the costs are going to increase approximately 20% according to Ford and Chrysler and General Motors.

Tarrifs are required for National security issues.
Half-True
How 'vital to our national security' is steel, aluminum?
By Louis Jacobson on Friday, March 9th, 2018 at 4:20 p.m.
A member of the U.S. Navy performs maintenance on the USS New Mexico submarine on April 26, 2017, in Groton, Conn. (AP/Steven Senne)
When President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, the stated reason was national security.
"The president is exercising his authority to impose a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports in order to protect our national security," the White House said in a statement.
Specifically, the White House cited section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which it said "provides the president with authority to adjust imports being brought into the United States in quantities or under circumstances that threaten to impair national security."
Hours before he officially announced the tariffs, Trump said he was "taking action to protect American industries that are vital to our national security, including American aluminum and steel. … Aluminum and steel are the backbone of our nation. They are the bedrock of our defense industrial base."
Is Trump right that American aluminum and steel "are vital to our national security" and "the bedrock of our defense industrial base"?
"So it started under Pres Lost Years."
Good catch.
Plagiarized spam.
Thanks.
The decline began as the Obama administration passed a slew of import tariffs on steel from China, claiming that overcapacity was allowing the country to dump the metal in the U.S. Trump’s subsequent order this year to investigate whether steel imports threaten national security, which may have accelerated China’s recent decision to eliminate so-called dirty capacity in an environmental crackdown on polluters in its own country. Trump’s vow to rein in Chinese steel imports raised the possibility of a new round tariffs."
Even the Republicans have argued that the President doesn't understand the consequences of imposing tarrifs. The costs of American made cars are going up 9% higher in price.
The soybeans tarrifs are going to cost American farmers over $600 million.
Tarrifs are basically a tax on imports. Americans are going to spend millions on taxes
Oh this will cause the US Economy to drop, maybe even into a deep recession, is that how you see it Roger???
Glass Door reports blue collar wages rising after dropping during the obama years.

Quinnipiac Poll
Democrats in Congress are more interested in "exploiting the nation's immigration issue for political gain," 60 percent of voters say, while 34 percent say they are more interested in "resolving the nation's immigration issue."
So Dennis, you mention the earth is warming because of the fuels used to create electricity to run your air conditioner. How does a leftist square that two competing issues?
MAGA
Right Direction higher today then eva' during the Lost Years.

Prove that with real data, asshole...
More of the poll that for some reason was left out by the anonymous asshole...typical dishonest right wing jag off,,,
The public seems fed up with both President Trump and congressional Democrats when it comes to immigration, according to a new Quinnipiac University Poll Tuesday that shows both sides are seen to be exploiting the issue for political gain.
Six in 10 people say Democrats are exploiting the issue. And a stunning 58 percent of Hispanic voters, who are key to Democrats’ argument, agree that the party is exploiting immigrants.
As for Mr. Trump, 53 percent of voters said he was more interested in exploiting the issue than in finding an honest solution to resolve the decades-long deadlock over immigration policy.
Mr. Trump also suffered badly when voters were asked about separation of illegal immigrant parents from their children at the border, with “sad,” “terrible” and “bad” being the top free-association words that came to voters’ minds, Quinnipiac found.
Quinnipiac surveyed 1,020 voters nationwide. Only The top words and the number of times they were used, not percentages, are:
Sad - 79 times;
Terrible - 67 times;
Bad - 53 times;
Wrong - 47 times;
Disgusted - 45 times;
Horrible - 39 times.
from low iq commie: Six in 10 people say Democrats are exploiting the issue. And a stunning 58 percent of Hispanic voters, who are key to Democrats’ argument, agree that the party is exploiting immigrants.

Happy Independence Day.
The reality New York Times reported about the supposedly two top contenders for the SCOTUS nomination are one that might be on the line of Kennedy and the other candidate is a very religious Catholic who has been questioned about her positions are based upon her personal beliefs on social issues in her legal decisions.
----
While Judge Kavanaugh, 53, has long been thought to be the front-runner and a favorite of Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, he has in recent days faced mounting opposition from social conservatives for aspects of his résumé.
His work in the George W. Bush administration; the perception that his opposition in his judicial opinions to abortion and Obamacare was insufficiently adamant; and even a 1991 clerkship with Judge Alex Kozinski, a former federal Ninth Circuit judge who retired last year after accusations of sexual misconduct, have all come into question.
At the other end of the spectrum is Judge Barrett, 46, who has emerged as a favorite candidate of many conservative Christian leaders — both evangelicals and Catholics — who have championed her cause.
During her confirmation hearing for the appeals court position, Ms. Feinstein questioned Judge Barrett about her public statements. “You have a long history of believing that your religious beliefs should prevail,” Ms. Feinstein told her. “The dogma lives loudly within you.”

That was the day Fienstien was exposed as an anti-Catholic bigot.
And thus alienated a huge portion of the historic Democrat coalition.
Funny thing is that the Democrats are depending on Hispanics to be a huge part of their political future but the overwhelming majority of Hispanics are Catholic and pro-life.
It will be interesting to see how they square that circle.
Anonymous can't keep up with....
Six in 10 people say Democrats are exploiting the issue.
See my post at 7:46 asshole....thanx for playing idiot.....LOLOLOLO!!!
The head of the University of Notre Dame reminded senator feinstein that the Constitution prohibits religious litmus tests. But the other question is who defines 'very religious'? Am I because i attend church some of the time? Or am I because I went to a jesuit high school?
This attack on her that pretends having some religion in one's life is a bad thing is insulting and narrow minded. If she has made bad rulings that disqualify her, then so be it. But senate democrats attacking even practicing faith is another reason why that party is so far removed from the mainstream.
If the President wants to have a praise by historians for his appointment of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He could get a couple Democratic Senators to vote for him. The story below outlines the divisions in the Republican party between the establishment and the hard right conservatives who want to find a way to overturn Roe v Wade at least in some fashion.
The president, however, has asked aides about Kavanaugh’s opinions on health care that have frustrated some conservatives, according to two people close to the president who were not authorized to speak publicly. They added that Trump has pored over news articles spotlighting Kavanaugh’s history with Bush — part of a powerful political family that has vocally opposed Trump — but did not see it as a fatal strike against him.
Trump has also spoken by phone with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) this week, according to three people briefed on the call who were not authorized to discuss it publicly. Paul and his advisers had conveyed their concerns about Kavanaugh to the White House in recent days, citing his decisions on health care. Since the Republican majority in the Senate is 51 to 49, losing just one GOP vote could jeopardize a nominee.
MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush adviser, noted on her afternoon program Tuesday that former Bush officials were being careful to not be too effusive about Kavanaugh, or otherwise risk hurting their former colleague’s chances.
“This is the whisper campaign that’s out there trying to destroy Kavanaugh, and it could be legit,” syndicated radio-show host Rush Limbaugh told his listeners Monday. “The long knives are out from people from all sides of the aisle, folks.”
Kavanaugh, 53, has a long history in Washington, having helped investigate President Bill Clinton as part of independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr’s team and then serving as a close aide to Bush before joining the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in 2006.

Like I said, dopie has absolutely no idea what Linkedin or Glassdoor offers, is about, or what placed they serve in today's business world. Both, along with Indeed.com are the leading recruiting sites now. He probably still looks at the local sunday paper.
Low ballz plagiarizes again that....
of Notre Dame reminded senator feinstein that the Constitution prohibits religious litmus tests
He is correct, however the practicing catholic mother of 7 demands that her views be know about settled law.....
Her response to questions in regards to her deeply held religious beliefs would have an impact upon her decisions in regards to the law were somewhat evasive. It's not unethical to question a judge in regards to whether or not that her religious beliefs.
Especially if the potential nominee for life will let her religious beliefs influence her legal decisions. If the nominee from a Democratic President was an atheist your side would go nuclear and you would be flying the plane.
Like I said, dopie has absolutely no idea what Linkedin or Glassdoor offers
And I told you once before, linkedin and Glassdoor are sources of convenience to non thinkers like you.... BTW....I am retired and never bothered with either site while working. Why does a recruiting site have anything to do with the subject you are having a seizure on??? They are SME's for people, not supplying data.....idiot loser....LOLOLOL

So you get electricity from an entity that damed up rivers and interrupted the natural flow of water to Mobil and Escambia bay heavily damaging the estuaries there.
Good virtual signaling there Dennis.
LOL
Learn how to post a link
Yep, Dennis is a environmentalist. Like Algore.
This is hilarious.
We have Republicans attacking dams on rivers that provide huge amounts of power on a non global warming basis.
The dams on the Missouri river provide electricity to millions. My father worked on the Gavins Point dam near Yankton South Dakota where I was born.
It's not unethical to question a judge in regards to whether or not that her religious beliefs would influence her legal decisions.
Good virtual signaling there Dennis.
And the GW denier signals that hydroelectric should be eliminated and we should burn wood and coal like the idiot of kansas.........sad how moronic you can be....asshole....
We have Republicans attacking dams
What is even funnier is that menstral the cramp changes his spots to being an environmentalist trying to break my ballz....having a brain is something we cannot accuse him of having....LOLOLOL!! Save a beaner baby.....
Actually I'm more fond of nuclear power but moronic liberals killed it in the 70's.
that damed up rivers and interrupted the natural flow of water
And powered companies like ALCOA to provide the raw material that MAGA....toss in most of the power used to build the first atomic bomb came from that source and provided thousands of jobs for the oppressed during the building of the system...Yeah menstral, you are an idiot..
It's not unethical to question a judge in regards to whether or not that her religious beliefs.
WUT?
got those narcs refilled, eh alky?
and it may not be unethical but it sure is bigoted. feinstein would be appalled if another senator questioned a jewish court nominee about their jewishness. and not one of them would have the courage to make that charge of a moose-limb nominee.
relax alky. your blessed liberal sacrament of abortion will remain. you guys can continue the butchery unabated.
even the ones that are "big enough to walk to the bus stop."
It's not unethical to question a judge in regards to whether or not that her religious beliefs would influence her legal decisions.
The Constitution forbids religious test for office, so yes it's quite unethical as well as bigoted.
The No Religious Test Clause of the United States Constitution is a clause within Article VI, Clause 3. By its plain terms, no federal officeholder or employee can be required to adhere to or accept any particular religion or doctrine as a prerequisite to holding a federal office or a federal government job. It immediately follows a clause requiring all federal and state officers to take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution. This clause contains the only explicit reference to religion in the original seven articles of the U.S. Constitution.
The ban on religious tests contained in this clause protects only federal officeholders and employees. It does not apply to the states, many of which imposed religious tests at the time of the nation's founding. State tests limited public offices to Christians or, in some states, only to Protestants. The national government, on the other hand, could not impose any religious test whatsoever. National offices would be open to everyone. No federal official has ever been subjected to a formal religious test for holding office.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Religious_Test_Clause
you would think that a sitting senator in office as long as feinstein would know and understand our constitution.
The dams on the Missouri river provide electricity to millions. My father worked on the Gavins Point dam near Yankton South Dakota where I was born.
The daming and flood control of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers is the chief cause for erosion of the delta land below New Orleans.
but moronic liberals killed it in the 70's
Asshole, NIMBY killed it......and this...you really should look shit up before looking like a flaming asshole again....

The fact remains, there are very few new nuclear reactors being built in the United States, which would indicate that the nuclear industry in the United States is dying a slow death.
But why aren’t new reactors being built?
The anti-nuclear crowd might claim credit, but the real reason is more mundane. Nuclear power plants cost too much, and take too long to build.
It costs at least $5,000 per KW to build a new nuclear plant (probably closer to $6,000/KW). It also takes five years or more to complete the plant.
Compare this with a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) plant that costs around $1,200 / KW and takes one to two years to build, or an ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plant that costs around $2,800/KW and takes three years or so to build.
The current very low cost of natural gas means that NGCC power plants win hands down over nuclear power.
The high cost of building new plants is killing nuclear power in the United States.
The only ray of hope for nuclear power is the possible emergence of small, modular nuclear reactors. They, however, are still on the drawing board.

In Congress, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
Trump should read this highlight instead of Faux News claim that Obama allowed 2300 Iranian immigrants to the United States as part of the Iranian nuclear deal. It's a flat out lie.
What is even funnier is that menstral the cramp changes his spots to being an environmentalist
I know this is a hard concept for Dennis to grasp but you can be both an environmentalist and a skeptic of anthropogenic global warming.
and Mississippi rivers is the chief cause for erosion of the delta land
Wrong mutton breath....the primary cause is the lack of replenishment silt transportation down river and rising sea levels....toss in sinking islands due to extraction of salt and oil from the area.....dayum you are stupid....
but you can be both an environmentalist and a skeptic of anthropogenic global warming.
What is even funnier is you calling yourself an environmentalist.....!!! Skeptic is one thing, but you aren't smart enough to know what skeptic is since you have no working knowledge of science....your position is pure dogma,.....
You should learn how to read English .
It

If the person in question has religious beliefs beyond the Constitution and would let those beliefs influence the decisions of a justice of the Supreme Court. The person is not qualified to hold the position.
Then using your "logical mind" we should take them down to restore the Lousiana Delta.
Mensa my ass.
I'm not going to keep explaining everything to you. I posted about rising wages as reported by one of the leading recruiting websites in the world. And you confirmed that you know nothing about it. Not sure why you're arguing do much about this when you admit you have no knowledge of it.
"Roger Amick said...If the person in question has religious beliefs beyond the Constitution and would let those beliefs influence the decisions of a justice of the Supreme Court. The person is not qualified to hold the position"
Guess that would disqualify anyone who takes the pledge:
"One nation, UNDER GOD"
Dear @realDonaldTrump: The "dumbest" law you refer to is called the United States Constitution. Specifically the 14th Amendment which provides due process to all persons, not just citizens.
You took an oath to the Constitution at your relatively small inauguration, remember? https://t.co/T2yGDC1Nt2
Trump wants to deny due process to people seeking asylum is the best country in the world. After all, they are beaners.

I posted about rising wages as reported by one of the leading recruiting
You posted YOUR statement....I tried to find it and could not.....Please note that being a leading recruiter means they are a leading recruiter! Not an SME when it comes to blue collar wages since they don't usually require recruiters.. It all means shit which confirms your lack of a working brain....Nice try and please keep digging, it is most amusing...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It
immediately follows a clause requiring all federal and state officers to take an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.
and barrett will do that if appointed, alky.
If the person in question has religious beliefs beyond the Constitution and would let those beliefs influence the decisions of a justice of the Supreme Court. The person is not qualified to hold the position.
absolutely false, alky. antonin scalia was a devout catholic who vehemently disagreed with roe. but he accepted it as settled law knowing that the votes to overturn weren't there. you seem to be trying to make the case that -
1) roe CANNOT be overturned no matter what
and
2) barrett's catholicism would inform her jurisprudence and therefore disqualify her.
roe can and probably should be overturned since it has no constitutional basis and never did. it was a classic example of the left petitioning the court to turn some want, wish, or desire into law. it's premise for existing has been flawed since it's inception. honest people, even pro-abortion people admit this.
and barrett is free to let her jurisprudence be informed by her catholicism as long as the two are not in conflict. if they are then the constitution wins every time.
look alky, we know you're a religious bigot who has an open disdain for christians and jews. but you just don't get to let religious bigotry derail a supreme court pick. it's flatly unconstitutional.

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
see alky, it says right there in the first amendment that you cannot deprive barrett of her catholicism.

Here ya go, rat hole...
There are three ways Roe v. Wade, (1973) can be overturned:
Since Roe vs. Wade was a Supreme Court decision, the Supreme Court can effectively overturn the decision by ruling against abortion in a future case.
Congress can pass legislation protecting the fetus from the moment of conception (There are usually several bills addressing this issue in committee during each Congressional term. The 111th Congress (current) includes three House Resolutions and one Senate bill.).
Congress and the states can amend the Constitution to include the definition of "person" to include the unborn (this is the least likely scenario).
hat you cannot deprive barrett of her catholicism.
No one wants that....just that being a catholic will not affect her decision that applies to all....IOW"S she cannot pass her views on to others.....preaching her tenet is not condoned by the constitution...

Great link on why the delta land is disappearing.....
Hey shit for brains, its its recruiters and recruiting facilitators who have the best pulse of hiring wages. Along with payroll firms like ADP. Stop being so damn ignorant.
the primary cause is the lack of replenishment silt transportation down river
Yeah, because the daming of the river prevents the silt from going down river (eyes roll).
We have Republicans attacking dams on rivers that provide huge amounts of power on a non global warming basis."
Nope, we are not.
The dams on the Missouri river provide electricity to millions. My father worked on the Gavins Point dam near Yankton South Dakota where I was born."
Lordie, of course you know somebody that did. 😂
