Accusing me of not being familiar with their stances isn't an argument.
You are choosing to uncritically parrot smears and extremely superficial labels for their positions and ignore and demean any evidence to the contrary.
If someone makes a well reasoned and good argument for a position on a particular case it doesn't mean they hate women and workers.
Gorsuch's history of being much more skeptical of executive power than the person the democrats nominated is proof you are wrong.
Sticking unflattering labels on people and cases doesn't actually demonstrate that these picks are out of the norm and big power grabs or that the cases were decided the wrong way.
Previous courts settled the cases you brought up.
If you want to argue that allowing people to make documentaries during election season is wrong, feel free to argue that. Its a different topic and it was decided in 2010.
again, you don't have to HATE workers in order to have a record primarily siding with corporations over worker rights, even in some very extreme cases. why don't you at least leave the strawmen that i already put down?
sticking flattering labels on people and cases doesn't actually demonstrate that these picks are not what i described them as. you might frame it differently, you might even support their stance, but that doesn't magically change it.
try to get away from the whole right/wrong notion, i never argued either. obviously i personally prefer judges siding with voters / women / workers / checks and balances, but that does not mean it's 'wrong' not to. what i DO think is wrong, is trying to act like these records don't exist, like those judges weren't nominated exactly for those reasons, because they align with trump's interests.
i mean, i obviously get WHY it's done, considering one side has to be fooled to vote against the majority of their interest, but you could at least spare yourself the embarrassment of trying to fool people who see through it...
their records are not secret, do some reading.

'look, he sided with workers in this particularly egregious and obvious case. so it's settled, he doesn't "hate" them. i am very intelligent.'This post was edited by fender on Aug 19 2019 10:26pm
