Precedent would be that the court would be reduced in size upon the next vacancy, so no one would be automatically removed.

Itās been reduced previously? And here I am thinking Iāve got an original idea.
Well - looks like weāre in one of those times when new precedents get formed - youāre retired at the full retirement level by in reverse seniority. Go enjoy your beer to you hearts content.

āI donāt believe in numbers.ā
Iām like, āHeifer, can you count to ten?ā
Because if she can, then sheās obviously full of shit.
And if she canāt, that goes a long way to explaining why sheās a 45 supporter.

The Times story does not use the word cult , but itās easy to see why some of its details alarmed many readers. People of Praise members are said to be accountable to a same-sex adviser, called a āheadā for men and (until recently) a āhandmaidenā for women, who gives input on a wide variety of personal decisions. They swear āa lifelong oath of loyaltyā to the group. As one blogger put it, āBarrett is a dangerous religious extremist who believes a federal judge can subvert the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the United States in order to promote her own religious agenda.ā

Kind of along similar lines, Iāve been wondering if there is anything stopping us from conducting the census more frequently than every 10 years. It seems like this round is getting seriously botched, for a number of reasons, but if Biden wins, could he get a do-over to get more accurate numbers?
The way I read that part of the constitution, it just states that we have to do one at least every 10 years, so it seems it would be possible.

Could be? Either way, this is creepy as fuck.
Which is scary. Weāre going to see more of this kind of harassment going on right up to the election.

the late justice was called a āmurdering hagā by one follower of Christ while another compared her to Adolf Hitler before stating he had redeeming qualities she lacked
They can never get their story straight about whether theyāre for or against Literal Hitler

So then is it Barrett or her husband who is being nominated?
Iām semi-serious. If thatās her public position, then thatās a conflict of interest, that a jurist believes that someone else, not part of the confirmation process, could control how they rule on cases.

It might be, but it always goes with the understanding that the elite (like, presumably she sees herself to be part of) are different and are to be held to a different standard. Itās a case of ādo as I say, not as I do.ā
Then again, if these groups got what they actually wanted, I doubt Serena Joy would actually be pleased with the outcome.
