I heard in Alabama they are having an epidemic of teacher student relationships, so they are putting a moratorium on homeschooling.

Perhaps they were just making excuses? They didn’t want the guy, so they said what ever was politically expedient to avoid the hearing.
Is that unheard of or something? We’re not dealing with saints here, they are politicians.
For instance, we can be fully confident that Catholicism is going to be under fire with this new nominee.
You keep stating this incorrectly which is the problem. You act like it was a blanket statement that a justice shouldn’t be chosen in an election year. That’s NOT what was stated.
when a Supreme Court vacancy exists in an election year when there is a president of one party and a Senate controlled by the other, the nomination should wait until after the election

Who cares? SCOTUS is a joke, they’re a bunch of failed lawyers in stupid robes that do nothing except rubber stamp increased federal power.

That’s so incredibly wrong it would be funny, if it weren’t depressing.

They are definitionally successful lawyers, for the record. Being one of 9 people who decide the meaning of every law is the apex of that particular mountain.

There’s those pesky feelings again. Get a birds eye view on our current horror, and all you’ll be able to do is laugh.

Edit: @NickViar you mustn’t know too many God complex afflicted lawyers if you think money matters more to them than power. I have friends who clerked for judges for 30 grand less per annum because that was the path to the black robe.

Go listen to the justifications given in 2016 - there was no such “control of the Senate” distinction made then. It most certainly was a “blanket” rule. This “control of the Senate” distinction is a made up, after the fact caveat designed to paint over the hypocrisy.
Show me a time when SCOTUS shot down federal power.

And they’re valued exponentially less than private sector workers because…
That’s pretty pathetic.
One could point to any governmental position being underpaid compared to the private sector. Which CEOs of a multi trillion $ operation makes 400k a year or 250k a year to command a military branch with enough resources to kill the world?
When you have ‘enough’ money, power is your intoxicant if you don’t have spirituality
It’s simple, the market values tax eaters far less because they’re too inept to hack it in the private sector. You can disagree, but the market has spoken.
