It's true, as a kid I used to instinctively hack away at the side of a hill rock formation of granite on the ranch because I liked the way it crumbled when I hit it with a pickaxe. I also used to pan for gold in a creek for fun. Kids yearn to be pioneers and die of dysentery or be snibbedy snabbed by crawfish like I was.

I used to build little dams and channels in the russian river in the summertime

good times
 
Aren’t a lot of the newer lower court justices diversity hires? Like actual dual citizens. I know some of the higher ones like the Ukrainian chick who fucked over Null in the Greer case appeal.
At least two of the "no the president can't do something I disagree with, for I am a District Court Judge" assholes are immigrants. One from Korea, forget where the other one is from. Which I'm not sure should be legal, but, we'll see.
 
The amount of “Ukrainians” I know who have one Ukrainian grandparent and two Russian grandparents is significant.
That's because there's basically no such thing as a Ukranian they're a made up people. The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians speak Russian and are genetically identical to Russians.

Not gonna double-check so I may have a detail or two wrong, but there was a recent story posted here about how like 30% of judges in DC are foreign-born. Kinda crazy because having foreign judges was a major point of instigation for our revolution in the first place. Then again, so were very minor taxes on things like molasses, let alone 50% of your income from any work at all.

One of my favorite moments of this whole 3 months of trump so far is how many americans are learning basic civic facts for the first time

"Wait Maurbary Vs Madison means ALL federal judges have the power of judicial review and not just the supreme court?"

"What do you mean that Federal Judges cant be impeached by an outside body?"

"Did our founding fathers intent for the Judicial branch to have unilateral control over the the entire functional way the government legislates?"

President can veto a bill from congress, congress can overrule such a veto with 2/3rds vote, what checks an errant Judaical decision? ohh another judge you say?

If the president appoints judges at his pleasure, he should be able to dismiss them, at will, for the same reasons.

Trump presidencies were IQ tests for the entire nation.

They are same people. It's literally fucking south vs north civil war.
This is not the thread for this discussion. I don't want UM to lock the thread again.

sheeeit brother, maybe your smarter than I was or am but I sure as shit dident know ALL federal judges could put injunctions on EXECUTIVE ORDERS

Thats like if every mid level HR manager in mcdonalds was allowed to stop any policy change from the CEO if they feel it violated their "mission statement"
