US Supreme Court strikes down voting rights act clause

Did you paste your whole post or most of it?



your post:
I don't for a second believe that 18 would be true today.

so i provided the 18 duties of congress.

did you expect me to type the duties out?........or is this just the attempt to slip slide?
 
Reread your reply carefully please, and then review your posts here this evening...

no need to do that Paul, but you may need to do it ... you're the one that made the statement that I find race is the problem in every issue ... go back, read all of my posts, say in the last month, count the number of times I raised the issue of racism and give me the percentage of posts in which I referenced race or racism ... and then tell me if race was relevant in any of them, or none of them ...

I have to get off soon Paul, but did you hear about the poll done a number of years back in which only 6% of respondents thought racism was a "serious problem." In the same poll, I believe, 12% believed Elvis was still alive. Crazy world, no?

Our country, despite having come a long way, is still a very racist place Paul, but I don't expect most white folks to know that ... and with the demographic changes we're seeing, that are scaring the heck out of a lot of people, expect us to take a few steps back ... the Sup. Ct. certainly did today ...
 
Wrong thread and certainly a phony straw man. You're now assuming birds of a feather with "liberalness". You assume since I support the right of citizens to vote, I support the right of gays to marry and all that entails.

How about the eventual decision of this CORRUPTUS 5-4 court to knock down Roe v. Wade? Do you support that? Do you support all positions that are considered "conservative" in our current times? Do you support Zimmerman? Do you support the incredible misue of the filibuster? How about the nuclear option? Who was wrong in the credit downgrade?
will you praise the court if it finds in favor of gay marriage...you didn't answer
 
You mean wake up call that the wheel has started to come loose on the gravy train, dontcha? What makes you sure a black man didn't cast the first vote instead of the last vote?

don't take casting the fifth vote so literally ... it couldn't have happened without him ...

I don't need to review your past posts bj as I am well aware of your views on the subject. Which SCOTUS opinions relating to racial issues have you agreed with and why?

quote by you mentioning race....
yeah, Bush was treated the way he was by liberals and Dems partly because he was white ... I'll have to remember that ...
 
I expected you to answer if there would only be 18 and not more today. I expected you to comment on whether they may have been forward-looking enough to visualize the incredible tech curve we're on now.

can you not render a decision?.......i what you will think of the court if they rule in your favor.....
 
I knew you would be pleased. This may be good all around. You got what you wanted and it may be a wake up call on civil rights and maybe even spark a voting rights movement. Without question it will hurt the GOP with minority voters even more, despite their "outreach" to the colored folk :elephantf

I'm not sure it will have much electoral impact one way or another. The lefty fearmongers (SPLC, et al) will scream for a while.:cool:
 
sure it was ! you said......... GOP treatment of obama

and i brought up the treatment of Bush,........both are demonized.

but i dont think you see it that way...i thin k you see it from 1 side


this is my last attempt to try to explain it to you ... I said that racism has played a part in the way Obama has been treated by the GOP, tea partiers, etc. ... I'm not his biggest fan, and have said unkind things about him, as I did about Bush (although much harsher and often for Bush for obvious reasons) ... I have no problem the right being nasty to Obama, but when it's racial, then I have a problem ... that's all ...

oh...the race card again........that justifies everything.

you can't be serious Paul? at least give me time to study Professor ... :) ... take care Paul, another time ... I'm hungry ...

Can you not understand that many simply disagree with his policies?
 
This SCOTUS CORRUPTUS just went against the 98 Senators who voted to renew this Act. True Fascism.

That's why the SCOTUS is not elected. Brown v Board of Education wouldn't have passed the Senate either.:cool:

no, I think it will Jack, especially if Dems try to pass new legislation to undo the harm caused by the Court and the GOP blocks it ,,,

And that's the problem. I believe that the racial component in opposition to BHO is insignificant. Why? Occam's razor. Racism isn't needed.:cool:
 
Oh but they are today. Even the churches illegally push for candidates according to their tax-exempt status. Can you say IRS? Churches push for the "right" type of candidate. Of course, they didn't have the litmus tests then in your example, did they 2m?

I honestly do not believe you ... Did you really miss the sarcasm?

dude, you are all bent out of shape, and pissed at the court, becuase they didn't rule in your favor, but buck-up, you still have a opportunity to have them rule in your favor on another issue.

You're going to have to explain that post. I can't make any sense of it.:cool:
 
You admit racism. You have been against O-Bam-Bam since the night of the 2008 election when the collection of GOP congressmen got together to plot against him. We've been through this too many times? How many secret Koch conferences did C. Thomas attend with only Republican politicians and moneymen?

I give up ... but with reference to Jefferson on religion, I like these ... thought you might enjoy them ...

“I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.”

he made the following recommendation to his nephew Peter Carr in 1787: "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear."

1823 April 11. (Jefferson to John Adams). "The truth is that the greatest enemies to the doctrines of Jesus are those calling themselves the expositors of them, who have perverted them for the structure of a system of fancy absolutely incomprehensible, and without any foundation in his genuine words. And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away all this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this the most venerated reformer of human errors."
