Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy Retiring

[baseline bum]

Methodology

The United States Census counts total persons residing in the United States including citizens, non-citizen permanent residents, and non-citizen long-term visitors.[1] (this must be the sanitized/PC term for illegal aliens). Civilian and military federal employees serving abroad and their dependents are counted in their home state.[2]

Electoral apportionment
Based on data from the decennial census, each state is allocated a proportion of the 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, although each state is guaranteed a minimum of one seat, regardless of population. This apportionment is based on the proportion of each state's population to that of the fifty states together (without regard to the populations of the District of Columbia, AS, GU, MP, PR, or VI). The Electoral College is the body that, every four years, elects the President and Vice President of the United States. Each state's representation in the Electoral College is equal to that state's total number of members in both houses of the United States Congress.

Every time some one whines about how each American's vote should count equally, I'm a gonna post the above about how ILLEGAL ALIENS may affect our elections.

How about a 3/5 compromise for illegals?

Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins, who has said she would not vote for a nominee who would overturn Roe v. Wade, praised Kavanaugh's "impressive credentials and extensive experience" on Monday, even as she vowed to carefully vet his nomination.

They should not be counted as they should not be here at all.

Slaves shouldn't have been either and they couldn't vote but the south still got representation for them. The precedent is set son.

"but DRUMPF!" doesn't deserve a rebuttal. I know it's your ace in the hole.

Woman could not vote at one time either

Woman could not vote at one time either

Maybe you like but I think women should have been there.

[Pavlov]

Woman could not vote at one time either

And yet they counted for representation.


Go figure.

oligarchy gonna get EVERYTHING they want, for decades

Trump’s Supreme Court pick: ISPs have 1st Amendment right to block websites

Net neutrality violates ISPs' right to edit the Internet, judge wrote.

President Trump's Supreme Court nominee argued last year that net neutrality rules violate the First Amendment rights of Internet service providers by preventing them from "exercising editorial control" over Internet content.

Trump's pick is Brett Kavanaugh, a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The DC Circuit twice upheld the net neutrality rules passed by the Federal Communications Commission under former Chairman Tom Wheeler,

despite Kavanaugh's dissent.

(In another tech-related case, Kavanaugh ruled that the National Security Agency's bulk collection of telephone metadata is legal.)

And what does the oligarchy want? All of the money of the non-oligarchy.

America is and will continue to be SO ED and UN ABLE

I'm not talking about votes. Illegals can inflate the House representatives/electoral votes that a state gets.

Like they will be counted...
How?

Census... laughable.

There's non-citizen long-term visitors like people with work visas (H1B's et all), which are indeed not permanent residents (green card holders) nor citizens. They're absolutely legal though.

abortion has divided USA since Roe. Along with racism, it's fundamental to the Repug base.

Completely logical to reject a SCOTUS anti-abortionist.

Talks about racism after making a bigoted post. Boots, you're one piece of self-contradicting . I know you're parents "love" you because they "have to", but I bet you're one unloved, lonely . Go get some therapy, you dime-a-dozen "woke" jabrone.

census figures would be irrelevant if you just went with a popular vote where only citizens can vote.

but, regardless, laws apply to everybody, whether you're a citizen, a resident, or even an illegal alien (which is merely an administrative status). There's no compelling argument why non-citizens or non-voters shouldn't have representation. Much like the District of Columbia should've had representation a long time ago.

[SnakeBoy]

I think TX is trying to limit them (unlike CA who welcomes them with open arms). If you live in TX, you ought to keep an eye on that ever-rising property tax which is paying for many of those illegal kids' educations.

We are keeping an eye on it. That's about all we can do since a state income tax is out of the question.

My argument (whether you find it compelling or not) is that illegal aliens should not be here and therefore should not have representation. Do you think it would make a compelling argument for me to go to Mexico illegally and demand representation in their government?

The precedent has already been set they should count towards representation since slaves counted. Trumpland can't have it both ways.

As of July 9, there were 153 federal judicial vacancies, for which President Trump has made 89 nominations (not including the announcement Monday).

Further, there have been 42 Trump-nominated judges already confirmed to lifetime appointments under the current Congress. By comparison, President Obama had only seen 35 judges confirmed by July 2010.

This success in getting judicial nominees confirmed is in large part due to the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It also is an example of the way President Trump is brilliantly strategic on the issues that are really important.

“For the past seven years, I have coached my daughter’s basketball teams,” Kavanaugh said. “The girls on the team call me ‘Coach K.’”

President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court once said "the earth is warming" and "humans are contributing," The Atlantic reports.


A few years before that, Kavanaugh wrote in a judicial opinion: "The task of dealing with global warming is urgent and important at the national and international level."
Kavanaugh has heard dozens of cases involving the Environmental Protection Agency, leaving legal scholars with hundreds of pages of opinions on climate change and the environment.




well that should make the left happy on that issue

[koriwhat]
