As a former evangelical Christian, I’d ask . . . Please be more accepting of Catholics and Mormons. Yes, they seem to believe in baptizing living persons for the benefit of the dead. But this is not some extra- scriptural practice they tack on. This seems to very much be a scriptural...

Yes, I’m looking for the good with each Justice. And next up with Justice Amy Coney Barrett who is the 2nd newest. And at 4 out of 9 Justices, that will probably be enough for the time being. However, if anyone else wants to jump up and talk about another Justice, please, be my guest.

plus, she was in a comedy improv group at Harvard, so not all book learning! :) Ketanji Brown Jackson is the newest Justice. Confirmed by the Senate in early April 2022, she took the Oath of Office on June 30, 2022, at the end of that term and when the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer took...

Who are the Justices whose beliefs are roughly in the middle of this group of 9?

“The style of attack is reminiscent of Tehran’s response to former President Donald Trump’s targeted killing of Iran’s most storied general, Qassem Soleimani, in January 2020. Tehran gave US troops 10 hours of advance warning before raining down massive ballistic missiles on US military...

and 69% of 2016 Trump voters agree. Maybe the best case for some kind of amnesty as part of a “Grand Bargain.” Yes, Dreamers can stay in the country. However, they need to start step-by-step on lawful residence status. In a sense, yes, get in the back of the line (start at the beginning)...

I just don’t believe Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch are in the middle because the Dobbs decision of 2022 was such a jarring decision. It reversed Roe v. Wade to such an extent that even some women whose fetus had died had trouble getting an abortion. =========...

I might be wrong, but I’m remembering that you voted for Trump in 2016, but will never vote for him again. Am I remembering this right? I think a lot of people who voted for him expected him to settle down and become a normal president. He didn’t. And he didn’t stand with and champion the...
