Hasn’t Trump implemented more gun control than Obama ever did?

This is what a lot of people don’t realize, mainly because it’s not being covered in the media. But Moscow Mitch is changing the federal court system in ways that will be felt for decades. Of all the things that angers me about people who voted against or simply refused to vote at all for Hillary Clinton, this is what embitters me the most. This idea that “We can get a better candidate 4 years from now” – No. No, you can’t. No Democratic candidate in the race now will be able to reverse this damage. And probably no Democratic candidate over the next one or two decades will be able to either.
Yeah, that was the first thought that crossed my mind when I read that sentence.
Trump Picks More ‘Not Qualified’ Judges (1)
I’m starting to suspect that “only the best people” may have a different meaning for Trump than, say, people living in reality.
Sure. For him, “best” means “most sycophantic”.
My favorite Daniel Tosh joke: “My girlfriend says we’d have less arguments if I didn’t correct her all the time. I said ‘fewer’.”
Just like “fake” means “not flattering.”
“Required”? Required by who or what? :dubious:
Substitute “expected” for “required” and it makes more sense.
I figure a Trump nominee could just plagiarize whenever he had to produce a written opinion or whatever.
Say, take an existing document and cross out a case title like Roe v Wade and put in Trump v Reality.
To use a legal term, there is a precedent:
Donald Trump Keeps Hiring People Accused Of Plagiarism (2017)
For a guy who got famous for hiring and firing people, he doesn’t seem to be great at doing background checks.
He has to write like he has half a brain as decided by people with a full brain. 
Aye; that comports more with my sense of reality.
“Had to”? Who or what says he has to produce a written opinion (or whatever)?
“He has to write”? Who or what says so?
Ben Carson, apparently the only black person Individual 1 knows, went to Baltimore, for … reasons … and decided to describe the city as a cancer. The church where he tried to hold his speech told him to get lost because he was on private property.
Ben Carson Accused Of Trespassing As He Defends Donald Trump In Baltimore - News & Guts Media?
Specifically, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (post 35162 from dasmoocher), the ABA, Federal Courts, State courts, law scholars, etc. Do you have to write emails at your job? Can you write one that sounds as stupid as a Trump conspirator and expect to keep your job? Can it have any misspellings? Of course not. Neither can I.
This dope would have affidavits that were incomplete and would say things like, “Der… they’re all criminals! Send them back where they came from!”
TL;DR - He has to write in legalese like a lawyer, not a jackass. 
This is nonsense.
They would have their clerks write it for them.
And you think he’ll hire clerks smarter than he is because…why? :dubious:
Can you cite the law(s) that require it?
ETA: I’ll be really clear here: AFAIK there is no legal requirement for a judge to write or say anything other than “guilty” “not guilty” and/or “I rule in favor of ———.” Nothing compels them to write any explanation of their reasoning or the history of the law that they followed or anything else.
It’s not a law, Snowboarder Bozo, his boss wants it that way. A chain of bosses want it that way. He doesn’t have the knowledge to DO the job, therefore he doesn’t GET the job. And I got the list of people who demand it from replies to your post. Sheesh. Just like there’s no law to ban someone from these boards. It’s what is expected.
Ah I see that for some reason you’ve resorted to name-calling. Not sure why, but it doesn’t reflect well on you.
Thanks for answering my question tho: “It’s what is expected” is the same as “there’s no requirement”. How has the country been doing lately by relying on what is expected? How did Merrick Garland’s SCOTUS nomination go? How did the 2016 election go? How has the effort to deny security clearances to questionable people gone? How has it been forging compromise in Congress lately?
When will you realize that relying on the honor of others who have no honor is stupid? <Snap!> Maybe that’s it! Are you mad because I keep pointing that out, and you keep doing it anyway?
No judge will have to write shit. And the justices above them won’t have to write anything. All the way up to the TrumpConnell-packed SCOTUS, which will simply say “nothing to see here; move along”. Because there are no controls, no punishments, no requirements which can be enforced. Relying on tradition or custom requires everyone to be in on the game and the GOP is not interested in playing that game anymore.
To be fair, do you really think it’ll be all that easy to find someone dumber than Trump’s nominees for the position?
