You're gonna have to explain that one to me..

That one is actually easy, because I share it....every devout person on this planet (doesnt matter which religion) has their base values and world view tainted by that belief system. They are incapable (at some level) of going against them. It's the REASON behind the concept of separation of church and state. Muslums are going to favor muslim-sympathetic laws. Christians are going to favor christian-sympathetic laws. Pastafatarians are going to favor garlic sauce. It's just the way humans are.

The ONLY way to ensure fairness and non-bias to to allow only non-believers into any positions of power. They are the only ones who at a deep level are not biased or tainted by a belief system.

Looks like it is not a done deal. There is a challenge in the courts, which who knows, could end up before the Supreme Court. The case is in the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals in Kalifornia, San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Judge Wardlaw followed up on her ruling, saying: "We hereby rule any attempt by President Trump to appoint a replacement to be unconstitutional. We will block any attempt until we figure out a way to resurrect her or maybe clone her and restore her to her already 'legally alive' state. We're still figuring that part out."

I understand where you're views on this stand, but you should know that most religions are based on the near-universal "Golden Rule."

If I could nerd myself out here for a minute... the only religion that doesn't totally comply to that, is Islam. They are the "Klingons" in a Star Trek universe. To a large degree, they also share the golden rule. And those are basically, don't steal, don't kill, etc.

Where this deviates USUALLY has nothing to do with religion, but in how people feel about others who are not like them.

I have this lurid fantasy that ACB will be confirmed, then a floodgate of lawsuits against the ATF will open up. The SCOTUS will finally have to take action. And the ATF will get taken behind the woodshed.

Hey, a man can dream...

I have a lurid fantasy about her, too. But we won't talk about that.

In the first debate idiot Trump missed the most grand opportunity because Biden stated right at the beginning that he isn't against Amy. Never heard a single commentator point that out, while Biden says he is the Democrat Party.

Biden probably wants to sniff her hair...
