Actually, it was just short of a defeat for the administration. The Supreme Court upheld the bulk of the injunction. It stays in place with regard to any immigrant with significant connections to the U.S. included every named Plaintiff in the two suits..

If clean drinking water is a right, and providing it is a simple act of decency HAVE YOU READ WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA? TRY READING SOMETHING BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH. Originally Posted by 2short@desky

I appreciate clean water, healthcare, good roads, air conditioning, and P4P
I think we can all agree that while not being a right, clean water falls smack dab in the middle of promoting the general welfare. I don't have to try really hard to make an argument that protecting our clean water supply falls under providing a common defense, either.
Dirty water simply should taken for granted by all Americans. That's a 3rd world issue not an American issue. I don't care who was in charge, allowing that to happen was fucking idiotic. More than one person should be in jail over that. Gross negligence plain & simple.
Health care is much more complex, but I think it also falls under general welfare. That being said, water isn't free so I wouldn't imagine health care would be either. Originally Posted by grean

Tell you what, try hugging some trees in the Siberian forest and get a glimpse of what the real environment is like....undisturbed. I would suspect that you are one of those who treats the environment just as you do the English language and fellow mankind....with disrespect. Just curious, how much is Hillary up in the polls these days?
It never seems to amaze me how well informed these idiots are.

I also don't like that a court pick could upend the law. I was happy to hear Gorsuch say he felt Abortion was settled law. The fact that he concurred with Deshaw Hicks makes me start to feel that the center will be tended if Kennedy retires, Maaaybe. Not the first time a Justice didn't turn out to be the pick that a president thought.
It may be a fluke and he'll end up making Scalia look like a sissy left liberal by the time his tI'm in the court ends. Who knows? Originally Posted by grean

For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.” She told Times reporter Adam Liptak that it reminded her of something her husband, Martin, who died in 2010, would have said: "Now it's time for us to move to New Zealand."
- When asked by Associated Press reporter Mark Sherman about a Trump victory, Ginsburg said: "I don't want to think about that possibility."
Recuse herself from what exactly?So when you said,
Ha! I agree with her 100%! She is one of the smartest legal minds living and was a highly cheerished & respected friend of Scalia, the conservative lion.
Trump is a fucking dumbshit loudmouth cocksucker. He's a bitch. He is a shyster & and a con artist. No one outside his camp respects him. G.H Bush, wouldn't even attend Trumps inauguration. Remember when Clint spoke to that empty seat? Man.....that speech would be so appropriate now.
Harry Truman had a plaque that said "The Buck Stops Here"
Trump blames every one else for every bad thing he causes and takes credit for anything good caused by everyone else!
I wish Trump would recuse himself. Originally Posted by grean

You meant "separated from politics" unless it's president Trump because you don't like him and your candidate lost.
"The Federal Statute
The rules demanding disqualification are set forth very clearly by federal statute, 28 USC 455:
Any justice…shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. He shall also disqualify himself…where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party.”
The law’s application to the case at hand is straight forward. Is there any doubt that Ginsburg’s comments demonstrate a personal bias or prejudice against President Trump? Indeed, they show an outright hostility."
"Moreover, the language of the statute is mandatory: “Any Justice shall disqualify” him or herself. Ginsburg has no choice but to step aside from the case. Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz has taken it further to say she should recuse herself from all court cases involving President Trump.
