The Official "Damned Trump" Thread

[Angrboda]

I think Barrett is a Trojan horse. That being said, she's the type of competent jurist that is desirable, unlike the legion of incompetents the president has appointed to lower courts.

She's not competent. She think's there no such thing as precedence in US jurisprudence for example. She also thinks that her religious beliefs trump the law.

8 Million People Have Slipped Into Poverty Since May as Federal Aid Has Dried Up

After an ambitious expansion of the safety net in the spring saved millions of people from poverty, the aid is now largely exhausted and poverty has returned to levels higher than before the coronavirus crisis, two new studies have found.

The number of poor people has grown by eight million since May, according to researchers at Columbia University, after falling by four million at the pandemic’s start as a result of an $2 trillion emergency package known as the Cares Act.

The recent rise in poverty has occurred despite an improving job market, an indiction that the economy has been rebounding too slowly to offset the lost benefits. The Democratic House has twice passed multitrillion-dollar packages to provide more help and to stimulate the economy, but members of a divided Republican Senate, questioning the cost and necessity, have proposed smaller plans. President Trump has alternately demanded that Congress “go big” before the elections and canceled negotiations.

Not to single you out, Nomad, but I am losing my grammar Nazi mind over something that’s  happened here several times recently.

‘Precedent’ is something citing as a guide or example, such as ‘a legal precedent’.

‘Precedence’ means an assigned priority as in, ‘If you’re on a budget, paying your rent takes precedence over buying that really cool limited edition lightsaber.’

There. I feel better now.

It does paint her as a dogmatic person - but as she and the FFRF have crossed swords before - you really wouldn't expect an unbiased opinion.......

Anything from any law review mags or other groups with less bias?
