I did google, but found nary a credible source. ny1? What the heck is that? I also noticed a Breitbart link at the top of the Google.
Tsk tsk.

You must be spelling google wrong. The ny1 link is a news station. And they post a tweet from Schumer, which I assume you believe to be God’s special medium. Or only if DJT tweets?
And Breitbart is one of the major news sources.
That darn liberal media.

First when have you seen an election cycle so besmirched by voter suppression, questionable vote counts ( Greg Palast), outside interference, FBI partisan behavior and any number of other unethical, un democratic behavior by a party that revels in its ability to cheat knowing that no matter how many norms they break and violate that thy will get away scot free because the D’s are just to polite and with republicrats like schumer, wasserman schultz. and the rest of emmanuels political spawn running the Democratic party that they will handle the r’s with kid gloves so ass not to offend.
But examples of past losers who have challenge the vote Sarah Palin in 2008 as VP candinate, Richard Nixon after 1960 election, John MacCain after 2008 election when he joined cabal to torpedo Obama. Not to mention the behavior of the bush campaign after the 2000 vote but before being anointed by the SCOTUS.
Only R’s continue the battle. The D’s think it is just rude and would rather be thought of as “good” losers and continue to get invited to the “right” (i.e. drumpf’s weddings) parties then to sully themselves by actually trying to stand up for their constituents.
When have we seen a lunatic con man usurp an election where he lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes?
when have we seen a whack job being given the nuclear codes?
Do you think these are just “normal” times and that both sides have followed the norms?

Never. It’s quite true that the GOP through bad faith is destroying the democratic republic but you can’t blame the democrats for that. Blame the system - there is no protection in our form of government for this kind of takeover. Read about the fall of the Roman Republic. Augustus refused absolute power numberless times while amassing absolute power and it wasn’t the fault of the rest of the Romans - it was the flaw in the structure of the Republican government.
Yeah I remember President Palin and President McCain. honestly
Never or we might not be here now.
What a condescending shitty question. That’s all the answer that deserves.

Where I practice, they assign trial judges at the last minute, and they would try to assign the second-least-liked judge and hold the least-liked judge in reserve as insurance against anyone using the peremptory. At least, that’s how it looked to anyone who used a peremptory …

Well certainly I learned in law school that forum shopping isn’t done. And seriously most systems have safeguards like the ones y’all are talking about.

to Chelsea530 The reason I thanked Rick 55 is his post “You must be spelling google wrong. The ny1 link is a news station. And they post a tweet from Schumer, which I assume you believe to be God’s special medium. Or only if DJT tweets?” saving me the trouble.
I also posted a link to “The Hill” or are you unfamiliar and unwilling to accept that either.
To tena.
I do not remember any President MacCain or Palin anymore then I remember a President Hillary.
The question was when have I seen situation where the loser didn’t just take the money and slink off. I answered that.
Granted it is the R’s who are destroying faith in the democratic system but they are being enabled by D’s who don’t wish to get their hands dirty in trying to defend that system or by challengeing the R’s bad behavior in every court in the land, every media outfit etc. The narrative should not be that cheaters win and it is impolite to challenge them. I would use as example that Rome started its descent when the senate abrogated its responsibility and surrendered their authority to Julius Caesar.
That is an example of how the cowardice we are seeing in the Senate D’s ( past and present) is enabling the destruction of the republic.
I use your own words when you responded to my statement that
rational: “When have we seen a lunatic con man usurp an election where he lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes?when have we seen a whack job being given the nuclear codes?”
Your response ( tena’s)
“Never or we might not be here now.”
As exactly why traditional norms and customs cannot be used to restrain our resistance to the usurper and that is why hillary ( Campaign and org) after losing to an obvious charlatan and his merry band of crooks, hitler worshippers and christianist’s should be challenging every vote, every tabulation, every voter suppression scheme in the courts, and extorting all (the majority by the way) citizens to resist. she should be out questioning the legitimacy of the entire r party and its usurper leader. Stop worrying about her speaker fees or how the whack job media will portray her politically she is done in politics the least she can do after botching her campaign (really going to kiss a war criminals ring -kissinger- then try to pretend that she is a progressive) is to cause as much trouble as possible for the usurper by any means legal or that would only risk a fine as the cost of doing business.
When I ask “Do you think these are just “normal” times and that both sides have followed the norms?” and tena responds by blowing it off she is contradicting her own arguement that hillary should obey unwritten norms even when the other side doesn’t.
either this election was within the realm of past norms and customs and future risks are containable in the which case I agree do follow tradition
or
It was an election in which the r’s shattered the norms and mores of political discussion by running as open bigots and christianist’s in which case traditions and norms have gone by the board and she, nor the d’s should be restrained by them.
Judges definitely hate it when they think you’re trying to game the system. That’s one thing that the great ones and the terrible ones have in common.

Yes - I’ve never yet seen one who didn’t. I used to work for 13 appellate judges. God that job was dangerous - trying to make one judge happy never failed to piss off at least 2 others, so it was a constant jumping from one piece of ice to the next in a sea of sharks.
Can I double-like your post for making Roman history references?

So by that standard we would have never had a civil rights movement, a environmental movement or any other movement challenging the powers to be.
And by the way it is the hillary campaign and institutional d’s who are shoveling excuses and are not promoting the general welfare.
Trade you a quote for a quote;
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
and really a quote from a self help cultist whack job? I am referring to the “dr.” of what I know not steve.
might well quote dr. phil or tony robbins
Ha! We see things so similarly because of our similar backgrounds.
