    RBG and Scalia both had deep, deep understanding of the Constitution and came up with different interpretations of cases all the time.  

    I have no doubt the SCOTUS members know the Constitution and have different interpretations, it’s the people in Congress who have no clue what the Constitution says and means that are the problem.

    Lol something tells me those bills include other goodies

    2 rules they should have...

    Legislation should have a single purpose (no additional pork attached)

    Everyone should be required to pass a test on their knowledge of the Constitution before they can introduce, co-sponsor or vote on any bills

    The more I think of this the more I realize I'd rather have Misses Clinton as President over this option. But neither would be my first choice. 

    No. Just NO!

     

    but there were better choices among Republicans in 2016 and Democrats in 2020. About 15 to 20 others both times.

    The 2020 Democratic Party Platform is now posted on the internet. It’s an all-encompassing and mind-boggling 92 pages telling how a DNC House, Senate, and President would run the United States. It clearly states exactly how the DNC proposes to handle every problem faced by America and its allies and foes. Please read it before you vote. Here are some highlights, Including:

    *Universal healthcare and Medicaid for all Americans and illegal aliens. (Pg 61)

    *$15 minimum wage which will force businesses to close

    *Immediate citizenship for illegals (Pg 63)

    *Free college (Pg 65)

    *Forgiveness of student loans (Pg 71)

    *Eliminate border walls and Immigration Enforcement (Pg 62, 64 & 65)

    *Make Washington D.C. the 51st State.

    *Abortion for “all women & girls.” (Pg 83)

    *$70 trillion Green New Deal, where the USA would be “net-zero greenhouse gas by 2050.” But CLOSE all coal & natural gas power plants by 2035. By 2030 all new construction in the USA must be net-zero greenhouses.

    *Create a U.S. Agency for Global Media “to ensure that only accurate information is reported in the news or on the internet.”

    *Rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement which is not equal to China

    *Create a new federal agency of 100,000 people to trace every American.

    *Immediately restore voting rights for convicted felons.

    *Create a new Federal Credit Bureau (to replace Equafax, et al), and require banks to use this new credit reporting service that will be set up to assist low-income people in buying houses and cars.

    *Make gun manufacturers responsible and liable for how their guns are used. (Destroy gun manufacturing)

    *Declare and treat drug use as a mental illness instead of an illegal activity.

  6. Sweden is still taking a different approach.  The second wave of positive cases is hitting Europe hard.  Interesting to note that countries like the Czech Republic who in the past Spring had the first and tightest lockdown and some of the lowest coronavirus rates …  is now experiencing Europe’s highest infection rates … more even than lockdown, facemask eschewing Sweden.  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54643070

    Divisions have always existed, and politicians have always played to these divisions.    But at no time in recent history has any President exploited our divisions like Trump.

    His entire Presidency is predicated on an ‘us vs them’ mentality.  Look at a Trump rally.  The vitriol he spews on a regular basis is unmatched by any President. So are his dog-whistles.             

    At least under Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc. politicians had some common ground whereby to sit down and formulate a compromise.  Furthermore, all previous presidents at least verbally pretended to represent the entirety of the nation for the good of the country.   This is non-existent under Trump.  Don't agree with Trump?...sorry you're a 'loser'.  Trump is responsible for setting the tone...

  8. If SUU goes NAU may follow for lower cost travel, but that will be a tougher sell since NAU has been a member of the BSC for 50 years. Controlling costs will become even more important in the Covid future.

    It might make the Big Sky a northwest FCS alongside the central Summit/MVFC and let the WAC take the Southwest. But the big issue is getting more football schools so the WAC can have a football conference. That is why Southland schools are being brought into the discussion. Without football, the whole thing will fall apart.

    Yeah I saw some of those, but I'm looking for a Youth L.  Additionally, I'd like something that is more based on the current uniforms and was hoping folks had seen things in a store or something that maybe isn't available online.  I don't mind it being #1, although through this search there are so many variation you can find of the team down south it makes me wish we could do the same.

    Yep

    So we're back to the "big mad media" "poor poor Trump" fallback?  

    Do you ACTUALLY believe that Trump and Biden got equal treatment in the town halls? Did Biden even have to handle one tough question?

    Go ahead and cast your vote for whomever you believe is the lesser of two evils (unfortunately, that is a lot of what this election is), but I believe that Trump is by far a lesser evil than Harris and Pelosi. When the radical left demands and Biden is not strong enough to say no (or is forced out by them), that is who will be running the country. 

  11. Included in the rumors, outside BSC schools are Southland Conference schools like Incarnate Word, Abilene Christian, and ...  Augustana (SD). Would be outside the footprint, but gives Augie a DI conference so they can move up. Would this make Augie a travel partner for Chicago State? Is it even remotely possible?
