Comments by "J Nagarya" (@jnagarya519) on "GOP senator criticized for remark about Biden's SCOTUS pick" video.

@thetweatles8176 Here's a fundamental for you: Per the Constitution, "We the people" are the gov't. Thus the gov't exists to meet the needs of "We the people," as paid for (taxes) and determined by "We the people". That is SELF-GOVERNANCE. "Freedom" is not freedom FROM responsibility; SELF-GOVERNANCE does NOT absolve "We the people" of RESPONSIBILITY. I thank you trolls -- with your childishly sociopathic nonsense about "owning the libs" -- for the opportunities to refute your anti-Americanism with FACTS AND LAW. "Justice and the Rule of Law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams.

How do you define "Libertarian"? The vast majority of those who claim that label are white males who OPPOSE and EXEMPT themselves from the rule of law. RIGHTS and their PROTECTIONS of RIGHTS are incorporated IN LAW.

Jay Jay Another law-illiterate anti-American dunce troll heard from. Racist too.

Jay Jay It is YOUR responsibility to back up your assertions -- with, as you reference, "statistics and historical patterns" -- instead of irresponsibly attempting to shift your responsibility onto others to do YOUR work FOR you. You're another lazy right-wing deadbeat who is so lazy that you have too much time to accuse others of not working.

@dating4564 You're a gangster, so what do you know about law except rejecting it? Wake up, dunce: the vast majority of racial "quota" is WHITE.

@fauxque5057 Evidence? Exactly: you have none; it's simply that your profession is to talk out of your ass.

@fauxque5057 Stop confessing your view by accusing others of it.

@olecrowey As concerns Clarence Thomas? Different classes, races, and individuals have different experiences. What you are saying is that the experience unique to African-Americans in the United States is irrelevant. And you are obviously wrong -- and I suspect you know you are wrong. The many efforts to have Congress adopt an anti-lynching law were not defeated by the fact that lynching was almost exclusively done to African-Americans. They were defeated by racist approval of the lynching of African-Americans. In short: stop accusing others of "racism" by asserting a racist "argument" -- by which you call yourself out as being a racist. Racists have been whining for decades against Affirmative Action because it "benefits" as small minority of minorities. They DON'T whine about the fact that the vast majority "quota" is WHITE. Yes you are racist: you focus on the nominee's skin color, and that is your bogus measure of her "merit". To you she is Black, therefore has NO merit. What "merit" has Amy Coney-Barrett as compared with any of the potential Biden nominees other than skin color? The person most commentors believe will be nominated by Biden has been a judge for years longer than was Coney-Barrett. That potential nominee has also authored decisions of substantial consequential Constitutional merit, whereas Coney-Barrett's written decisions would fill one slim volume. That potential nominee also happens to have been the author of the decision knocking down ex-president Trump's BOGUS assertion of "executive privilege," which the Supreme Court UPHELD 8-1. The only Justice who voted against it was Clarence Thomas, whose wife is instrumental in presenting cases to that very court -- which, were Thomas ETHICAL, would REQUIRE he RECUSE himself from those cases, but he does not because he is not. MERIT INCLUDES ETHICS.

@richardreese8038 School board members are ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS. It is ILLEGAL to THREATEN THE LIVES of PUBLIC OFFICIALS. The same applies to ELECTION officials. Among the ELECTED ELECTION OFFICALS your criminal thug cult leader Trump THREATENED was the Georgia Secretary of State. And many of the "parents" "protesting" at school board meetings DO NOT HAVE KIDS, SO ARE NOT PARENTS. It's your decision: the stupid can stop with you.

@olecrowey I've been a civil rights advocate and activist since I turned 9-10 years old. I was born in 1948 -- do the math. If it isn't about race for you, then why are you claiming it's about race? Why are you NOT focused on the "merit" you demand? Because your only focus is RACE. And I note you omit any mention of the fact that Clarence Thomas was picked BY REPUBLICANS because of his RACE, and that he has NO MERIT.

@charlesritter6640 "Libertarians" are opposed to the existence of gov't -- ESPECIALLY "special rights" such as anti-discrimination law. "Libertarianism": If you are mugged and your wallet stolen, it's your own damned fault for having had a wallet. That's why I ask anyone who claims to be a "libertarian" how they define the term. Typically that are either asshole bigots, or they don't know enough to recognize the fact that there are extreme right-wingers who claim to be "libertarians," but there are also a few on the Left.

@olecrowey It is YOU who is making an issue of race. Are YOU media?

@gamez4408 No, it is not "always political". "Justice and the Rule of Law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. Stop confusing the latter for the former.

@olecrowey You mean like REPUBLICAN nominee Affirmative Action candidate Clarence Thomas?
2
@lostdeath4202 You're obviously wrong. In addition, you falsely assume "thinking" and "believing" are the same thing. What you believe is not only false but is also not a substitute for actual thought.

@gamez4408 Everything is what?

@gailcarey3597 How does your sex matter in this context? "Libertarians" are right-wing crackpots who REJECT gov't -- essentially on RACIST grounds. I know their RHETORIC and that which is behind it: rights for them, responsibility for everyone else. Your "autonomy" is either PROTECTED BY LAW -- gov't is by definition RULE OF LAW -- or is not. So how that "freedom of choice," "individualist," when it comes to, as example, abortion? You are spouting phrases without an iota of substance. Our system of laws is based upon a BALANCING of interests: everyone has the same rights -- AND RESPONSIBILITIES. the FOREMOST responsibility is not to violate the rights of others. None of that has a handy POLITICAL label such as "libertarian". The Founders were LIBERALS, who established a liberal democracy. And, being imperfect, because made by ever-imperfect humans, that can require protections for subsets of the population against the predations of self-proclaimed "majorities". "Libertarians" are OPPOSED to such necessary protections.
2
@olecrowey And yet you've had no criticism of Clarence Thomas because he's alleged to be a "libertarian". He is not; he's a moron with privilege. He got where he is because of Affirmative Action -- which libertarians OPPOSE -- and since he's been on the Court he's voted to eliminate Affirmative Action, from which HE BENEFITTED, in order to eliminate the competition which might arise if Affirmative Action continues. But not a word about Thomas -- dodged by misuse of the buzzword "whataboutism". In other words, you have your set of empty slogans so why bother actually informing yourself and thinking? "Justice and the Rule of Law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. "Libertarianism" is political hackery.

@olecrowey How about we continue to identify and expose the racists who falsely insist it's "all in the past". "Critical Race Theory" is taught EXCLSUIVELY in COLLEGE and UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOLS. It's purpose is to identify SYSTEMIC RACISM as embedded IN LAW. "Jim Crow" was systemic racism ESTABLISHED AS LAW. The REPUBLCIAN attacks on elections are DELIBERATELY suppressing MINORITY voters. So what explains Youngkin and other REPUBLICAN governors banning the teaching of "Critical Race Theory" where it IS NOT TAUGHT? I've been told by "libertarians" to believe that laws aren't needed except to "oppress". What they want of course, is to get gov't out of the way of protecting their targets from their predations. You'll hear them tour "states' rights," which has always been entwined with racist white supremacism. That's why "libertarians" oppose the EXISTENT of the Federal gov't -- except when controlled by anti-gov't Republicans/"libertarians". Let's be clear: the rights and liberties and freedoms that "libertarians" claim actually only exist because they are incorporated and protected IN LAW
2
@morbidlyoppressed9038 There's much in United States history and the present that makes any HEALTHY person sick. Election fraud by anti-American Republicans is a present example.
2
@olecrowey Then why not shut up about the RACE of the person Biden will nominate? Because that's your primary focus.
2
@olecrowey Then why are YOU playing the "race game"? So far you've shown yourself as one who clings to substanceless slogans, and unfamiliar with critically evaluating your own views. So-called "libertarians" are so much for "individualism" that they reject it in conformance with each other on that bullshit measure. "libertarians" reject the rule of law as "gov't" -- while claiming "rights" and "liberties" and "freedoms" that only exist because of the law they reject.

@johnmontgomery4923 You mean, being Black, she has to know where she doesn't belong?

@combatcentral7386 AGAIN, teaching about racism -- which is real -- and its history is NOT ""Critical Race Theory," which is a FORMAL study in college and university LAW schools. The reason it is limited to LAW schools is that it requires at least first-year law to understand the fundamentals, so one then knows what one is looking at. Shapiro is full of shit on every issue. And I note that Rogan had self-annointed "genius" Peterson on, and they embarrassed themselves -- not that they noticed -- with their white people's explanation to Black folks about what it's like to be Black. The REPUBLICAN ATTACKS on elections to DELIBERATELY SUPPRESS MINORITY voters is DOCUMENTED. You WON'T hear those facts on freak-fringe "independent" "media" podcasts by self-promoting bigots.
2
@morbidlyoppressed9038 IF she said that, what was the context you omit? FACT: EVERY state has automatic AUDITS following elections. FACT: ALL 60-plus Trump lawsuits were DISMISSED for lack of evidence. FACT: the Trump Supreme Court REFUSED TO HEAR Trump's appeal to it because the case had NO MERIT because NO EVIDENCE OF ELECTION FRAUD. The bottom line is that you morons -- most of whom don't bother to vote anyway -- are ignorant of how elections are conducted, and the measures that have been in place for hundreds of years to ensure against illegal voting. And illegal voting is not the same as elections fraud -- as that being ACTUALLY conducted by the Trump criminal enterprise. Instead of spewing unsubstantiated racist mud pay attention to the REPUBLCIANS who FALSELY claimed to be ELECTED "Electors" when they voluntarily participated in forging "Electoral" certificates: THAT is ELECTION fraud. And it is nothing new for a charlatan -- as Trump is -- to accuse others of that which the charlatan is doing.

Jay Jay 1. The Founders were Liberals, who established a liberal democracy. They weren't right-wing name-calling crackpots. 2. The Founders were PRO-gov't. 3. "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." -- Mark Twain. As usual, you confabulators expect everyone else to do your work for you, instead of presenting the alleged "work" you claim to have done. In short: either back up your assertions, or don't make empty assertions which expose you as a bullshitter. 4. A PATTERN of systemic racism is "Jim Crow," which the Republican state legislatures have set about reestablishing. 5. Your bias against "liberals" and liberal democracy is the agenda behind your assertions. Thus your alleged "research" is about "proving" your bias "true". Thus garbage in garbage out.

@Black_Caucus Excellent summary: "slogan" = "meme". They are with Stephen Bannon for eliminating the "administrative state" -- beginning with civil right protections.

@gailcarey3597 Actually you did -- I simply responded to that with a question: does your "individualism" include denying the right of abortion to others? And the usage is wrong -- but political: anatomy is SEX; "gender" is psychosexual identity; they are not always the same.
1
@olecrowey yes: racist white supremacists want everyone to stop TALKING about racism so they can continue to BE racist white supremacists without the justified negative publicity.
1
@seanmccartney5177 She's already established a record of doing exactly that. As example, she authored the decision blowing up Trump's BOGUS assertion of "executive privilege" -- which was UPHELD by the Appellate Court, and UPHELD by the Supreme Court 8-1. The 1 being Clarence Thomas, whose wife heads extremist right-wing organizations by means of which she gets their cases before the Supreme Court, and from the hearing of which her husband Clarence Thomas DOES NOT recuse himself even though that is the STANDARD ETHICAL thing to do. How many times must those facts be explained before the bigots CEASE ignoring them?
1
@paulhughes9860 Exactly right. They TALK "Constitution and law," but they are the enemies of the EXISTENCE of gov't/rule of law. During the 1990s they jabbered constantly about "individual responsibility". But as the years progressed it became increasingly obvious that they meant, "Freedom for me, responsibility for thee." Their fundamental position is that "freedom" and "liberty", and rule of law, are mutually exclusive. That's also their fundamental corruption: the "freedoms" and "liberties" they claim only exist because they are incorporated in written law, and vindication of them are also incorporated in written law.

@combatcentral7386 There is more to voter ID than just being required to produce an ID. You don't know that because you actually believe those who don't know what they're talking about, or who are bent on keeping you stupid. IN FACT, "Plessy" was based upon a Massachusetts case that established "separate but equal" in education -- see "Roberts v. City of Boston". Doubtless reference to "Brown" included that and the history, but that was left out by the pseudo-intellectual Shapiro, if he even know that hitory. And there is no way Shapiro could win an argument with Malcome Nance. Was there an actual interview with Bell? Or was someone else mis/representing what he allegedly said?

@clickclack8081 I've been dealing with freak-fringe right-wingers, including so-called "Libertarians," since at latest the 1990s. I know their rhetoric -- and their DIFFERENT actions. So I see through their rhetoric to what they are behind it: anti-gov't/rule of law. By contrast, the Founders WERE NOT anti-gov't. "Libertarianism" is political hackery. WARNING: absence of law makes everyone the target. "Everyone" includes YOU. "First they came for the Communists, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a Communist. "Then they came for the Socialists, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a Socialist. "Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a Catholic. "Then they came for the Jews, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a Jew. "Then they came for me, but there wasn't anyone left to say anything." Today its the Jews and the Blacks. You aren't those, and you're too stupid to say anything.

@nickpowell7432 I adhere to the facts. One of those facts is the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Ergo, those who personally attack me want to be personally attacked, so I oblige them. Our democracy is founded on the rule of law. The Republican Party, Trump on down, are at war with the rule of law. If you don't care about that reality, then you to will be the VICTIM of the consequences. But you won't be able to blame anyone outside yourself. So, no: I don't lie to myself. That you believe the law doesn't matter, that civil rights don't matter, then you are lying to yourself: without written law, and enforcement of their protections, you have no rights.
1
@nickpowell7432 You of course make my points for me: given opportunity to deal intelligently with the issues I present, you instead focus on personal attacks. Anything to avoid the actual issues. You're failing in your effort to "own the libs".

Ken Fresno What is "illegal"?
1
Ken Fresno I have years of work in law on those very issues. And the term "gender" when used all-inclusively os misused. "SEX" is anatomical; "GENDER" is psychosexual identify. The two are not always the same. The objections to Biden's choice of candidates are based on both race and sex.
1
Ken Fresno How about directly addressing the issue, instead of playing semantics?
1
Ken Fresno There is nothing heroic in doing my civic duty in a democracy, which is about BOTH freedom AND RESPONSIBILITY. In place of engaging in personal attacks -- moron - you could be conducting yourself constructively. If, that is, that isn't beyond your abilities.
1
@dennisjames1999 How would you know -- you reject the rule of law to begin with, as the judge who authored the rejection of Trump's BOGUS "executive privilege" claim was UPHELD by BOTH the Appellate Court and the Trump Supreme Court.

Ken Fresno Still can't deal with the ISSUES, eh? Tell us why you were expelled from kindergarten for refusing to potty train.
