I am sure it would depend on weather the president was Republican or Democrat. Case closed.
He said that his 2009 law review article arguing presidents should be exempt from certain investigations was a “proposal,” not a constitutional position.
What’s the legal term? Oh, yeah, mens rea.
And these people, part of the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body, will pretend he’s not lying through his fucking teeth.
Well, looks like Mattis is out. Who next? Gen. Buck Turgidson?
He’s not called “Merrick the Derrick” for nuthin’
In my experience, when someone responds to a question with “I have an open mind”, it means they they don’t have an open mind and they are using the phrase to shut down a discussion.
Or perhaps General Peckem? (Catch 22)
Clarence Thomas - “As a Judge, you strip down…like a runner…before deciding a case…”
Samuel Alito (with wife weeping so that all could see in the seat behind him)- “I will keep an open mind…”
Neil Gorsuch- “I am still butt hurt that my Mother was fired by President Reagan for obstructing Congress on his behalf…but I promise to keep an open mind…oh yeah, I have spent my whole appellate judge career waiting for a Republican President to nominate me to this Court…”
fucking liars, every one of them
Is Hermann Göring still dead?
Draped with Garlands?
Once confirmed,he will be a stalwart for every conservative case on the docket…you don’t rule on cases the same way, time after time and then magically change your MO because of a new sense of responsibility toward justice. Another disaster for America currently in the midst of a hellacious losing streak.
