President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Clarence Thomas turns 76 on June 23.

Tick tock.

Let me remind everyone that Thurgood Marshall has himself to blame. He punched out while GHWB was president and died 4 days after Clinton's inauguration.

 

I hope Biden is doing this on BookFace too, where the marks all hang out.

 

A nice toasty 108 this afternoon in Phoenix. But it's a dry heat, so pay no attention to all the people passing out due to dehydration. Next stop, San Francisco for a night event. What's wrong with this candidate?

 

Also, this happened today.

 

113 today. So far.

 

The other justice GHWB picked wasn’t exactly a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. I’m sure that was part of Marshall’s thinking.

 

Every criminal case at the state level has potential to raise federal constitutional questions if the defendants individual rights - that are both protected by the constitution and incorporated to the states - are implicated.

Assuming you're talking about Trump's trial, this is one of the things I thought Judge Merchan handled extremely well. His on the record rulings on a number of matters either closed off or made it extremely difficult to raise certain appeals. He was really careful throughout the trial to limit the potential appellate issues from having success.

 

I'm talking about Bannon's contempt conviction.

 

My bad. He's being held in contempt in federal court so there is no need for a federal question. SCOTUS has appellate jurisdiction, if it chooses to exercise it, on the basis of being the ultimate court of appeals for the federal system.

Federal questions are only required for SCOTUS to have jurisdiction over state supreme court decisions.

 

Vile

Former officers who defended the US Capitol on Jan. 6 visited the Pa. House. Some GOP members jeered

 

Wish a part of Bannon's sentence was spending the first day of school at Sandy Hook Elementary.
