ENDA Needs Ten More Sponsors As Carper Signs On As Number 51

I was comfortable with filibusters when it required actual work and commitment to carry them out. This business of anonymously opposing everything only to gum up the works is ridiculous. So yeah, under the circumstances, I think the Senate should change the rules. I think Reid has been an extremely weak majority leader.  (Monday | post #8)

ENDA Needs Ten More Sponsors As Carper Signs On As Number 51

So you see no value in putting 61 Senators on record supporting trans-inclusive ENDA? having them on record will make it that much easier to pass through the Senate the next time. Who knows? We might even have a House that would pass ENDA in two years. If nothing else, voting for ENDA will show Congress that doing what's right doesn't need to spell the end of your career. So others will be encouraged to do the same. And, of course, there's the advantage of identifying the anti-gay legislators so that we can defeat them next November!  (Monday | post #5)

It seems like the dictator wannabe looks at you from the mirror every morning. As someone pointed out, if pissing others off were a crime, you'd have been sentenced to death by now.  (Monday Jun 17 | post #4798)

Are you aware that this passage was written between 1900 and 2000 years ago? Do you imagine that the people who heard that are still around, awaiting either God's Kingdom on Earth or simple death? Or do you have some insight that no other scholar has proving that the speech was directed at people alive some 2000 years later?  (Sunday Jun 16 | post #167)

Apparently, the legal dictionary you're pulling words from omits the definitions. We are not impressed by your ability to misuse judicial concepts. I suggest you look up legal terms before pretending to be knowledgeable about the law again.  (Sunday Jun 16 | post #10)

Interesting how supporting Islamic regimes has suddenly become "anti-Christi an." Was it anti-Christian under GWB? GHWB? RR? Oh, right. It's only because we have a Muslim foreigner as POTUS now. I learned that from reading WND and Weekly Standard. I needed a laugh because I can't get Stuff anymore.  (Sunday Jun 16 | post #4)

Really? So Judge Walker's decision was not "reported? " I guess if you weren't in the room when the Judge made his ruling, you'd never know it happened.  (Sunday Jun 16 | post #9)

Wis. Supreme Court takes domestic partner case

You are mostly wrong about that. Verdicts do, in fact, set precedent. In particular, a judge who rules in favor of a plaintiff in one case would certainly be constrained by that verdict in a subsequent case involving nearly identical facts. Where no appellate or Supreme Court precedent has been set, verdicts are also influential to other judges in similar cases. I think what you meant is that trial court verdicts do not create BINDING precedent: Other judges in the district are not bound by a verdict unless it has been reviewed and substantiated by the appellate court. Even then, the precedent is not binding in other circuits, although it may be influential when similar cases arise.  (Sunday Jun 16 | post #6)
