Make The Supreme Court Great Again
How does his argument that Congress should pass a law impact his how he will rule on anything as a judge?...
I guess. Doubt it comes up, tbh.
That was a waste of my time. You've lost your Fawlty privileges for a while.Just want to make it clear that I'm telling someone that you lack any kind of ballsack to really "play dirty", and that I'm not saying it behind your back.

He doesn't think a sitting president should be able to be charged or sued. How does that NOT affect his potential ruling on a related matter, should it come to the SC?

He is just there to be a neutral arbitrator of what the law is not what the law should be.
They won't let it go on too long. The sooner, the better. September 1st? A month after Kennedy retires and 7 weeks after Kavanaugh's nomination is plenty of time. But that is wild speculation. The short version is I have no idea.
I seriously appreciate the information.
I have three major issues my fellow conservatives disagree with me
1)arbitration as mentioned
2) qualified immunity I think the doctrine should be done away with
3) the expansion of the federal government's power via commerce clause jurisprudence (as mentioned Thomas is on my side here)
What do all these three schools of jurisprudence have. They are no where to be found in the text. They are made whole cloth from the minds of judges. I don't just believe in textualism because it is the only legitimate way to judge but because it also produces the most moral results.
That said I hear ya and I understand I am a lone voice in the woods on these issues
LOL. The Federalist Society is a pox on our country.
What's next calling the Center for Originalism a plague?
The fact that you are so sure it would means that you don't understand a judges actual job. The fact that shouldn't means that if it didn't hes doing his job.He doesn't think a sitting president should be able to be charged or sued.

Why would magazine size not be considered a restriction on firearms? The constitutions prohibition on anti-firearm legislation is largely a blanket ban. It would be difficult to make a case for extracting magazine size as a separate issue.Because no lawyer believes that this is what the Federalist Society stands for. It's an organization that finds it's ideology first, and then tries to cram the law into that framework. Thats why you have cries of strict textualism when it suits you, but a complete abandonment of that principle for something like magazine capacity (on which the Constitution is silent), when it doesn't.
This is utterly foreign to my admittedly limited experience with fed soc. Most of the members were Biglaw, clerkship, or bust at law school. I distinctly remember one of the officers casually disparaging any kind of long-term public service work or "shitlaw." There was also the perception that federal work was more prestigious than state, but that might just be from the clerkship thing.The Federalist Society might not where the Big Firm guys go.
. . .
When I go to Bar event which I very rarely go to, I feel out of place. Here I am this big hapa guy with cauliflower ears that just works for himself in federal court. With all these Big Firm people that make big bucks in state court. No one knows me. I feel like I don't belong when all these big firm guys are around.
