In the original "at least 6" was used. The latter use of 6 was in reference to the original so I'm not sure why you went there.
I do not discount withdrawn nominations because some of them could have been due to knowing they wouldn't receive a vote. Would you want to be remembered as someone so insignificant that the Senate would even vote you down or someone who decided not to take the position?
And thanks for the extra information. It has been a while and i was just quickly thumbing through some websites to bring the point up.
It might interest you to know that at least 6 other times in or history the Senate has failed to vote on a supreme court justice as early as John Quincy Adams' appointment of John J. Crittenden in 1828 . Furthermore on about 8 different occasions the nomination was withdrawn before a vote was ever taken.
They demonstrably do not have to hold a vote on the nomination.
I think it would be neat to have a position on the court but I wouldn't want to go through the process either.
Speaking of a bit stoned though, Reagan had a nomination who decline to be nominated because he smoked weed with his students as a professor. Something that likely wouldn't ever realistically impact his ability to do the job.
I mean every congress makes a show of it. A show so bad that judicial nominees has have declined their own nomination as far back as Levi Lincoln sr. Under James Madison (one of the founding fathers ) and as recently as Douglas H. Ginsburg under Reagan.
The nomination process is pretty taxing for those nominated. They have to prepare their financial records, go through a vetting process that examines not only their public life but often personal life with a lot of question and answer sessions. They have to have meetings with everyone on the Senate judicial comity and basically interview for the post. In most cases they quit their existing jobs because of the amount of time involved and of course there is always the chance of their name being drug through the mud very loudly and very personaly.
It is not like joining the eagles club or anything. So why put someone through this if you already know you will not confirm them? The chances are slim to none that someone acceptable will be nominated because Obama will try to create a political show of it. The most prudent way of dealing with it is to declare no votes will be taken so no one gets their hopes up and suffers the motions unnecessarily.
Hate to say it but it was making me angry too. I know it is just a robot and it not only shows off it's abilities but aids in learning. It is just that when watching it walk and open the doors, it reminded me of being drunk and the kids that ride the short bus. I kept thinking why's he being a dick and leave him alone.
I don't know if that is a testament to their progress or my imagination getting the best of me.
Well - he wins so far. The problem is when that other 70% split between 5 or 6 others gets consolidated because 4 or 5 of them drop out. Granted some of that will go to trump but with 30% right now, it means 70% would like someone different right now.
That's roughly $1400 a month take home. You could make it on that in most places in the midwest if you didn't try to rent a house/high end apartment or eat out all the time.
The biggest problem is expecting to survive off a single income. Most people find roommates or a spouse. $2800 a month is definitely livable for two people. But for some reason no one wants that.
Well first it is $8.15 after taxes so the pay is actually higher. So assuming around 25% of her income goes to taxes (which i do not know the specific rates but that is close to what lower paid employees can expect to be withheld here in the mideast) she is making around $10.90/hour.
Next, why does she have to work at yelp? Is there something making that the only option? You see, the premise that she couldn't live somewhere else is false on its face because she could find another job. It's a pain to switch jobs but I'm not aware of any barriers to doing so.
Here is a hint, don't work there then. Employers or anyone for that matter will do what they can only because people enable it. Either buy a car and commute, find a roommate or whatever, or seek employment elsewhere. Two of those options allow the low wages and the other will force higher wages, changes in how they employ people, or put them out of business. Can you guess which one?
You can throw it a ticker tape parade and it won't change anything.
Whether it is seen as a mental illness or not is irrelevant to it being an instability. A person who has a mental process that drives them to alter their bodies in a way to deceive nature for some ideal piece of mind will likely live out that fantasy to its fullest. So if they think men do certain things and women do certain things, it is only logical that they seek out those things to satisfy their mental desires.
Btw, a mental instability is not a mental illness. An upset person or anyone going through emotional situations can very well be mentally unstable and not mentally ill.
It's one-tenth of the US population. The future is here. Resistance is futile
So you understand that is it not representative of the US as a whole then right? I mean 1/10th the US population compared to 49 other states splitting the other 9/10ths.
What resistance is supposed to be happening?
I'm not that familiar with abortion beyond being a political football in general. This is a very strange little Slashdot thread that got me on a subject that I normally shy away from. I sometimes keep a thread going to see how far I can take it. Sometimes out of trolling, sometimes out of curiosity.
So you do not know of any. No one else I can find does either. You are not alone and in fact, seem to be in good company.
lol.. And that is representative of the rest of the country.
It's like you are saying it doesn't matter that abortion clinics are positioned to cull the unwanted, most of a specific state is unwanted.
If you do not know of any outside the population densities I mentioned, then just admit it. You are not expected to know everything. I just do not understand your insistence on justifying the abortion clinic's locations though.
Yes, they are illegal insomuch as they are not authorized by the constitution. Perhaps the interstate commerce clause is something that should be looked at.
And by the way, Very few prosecutions happen on a federal level compared to state laws concerning the same subjects. There is a reason for that and it happened to be because federal jurisdiction is not absolute.
hmm.. There are only abortion clinics in California?
I guess you wouldn't know if all you know is California. But what does almost mean? Are you trying to say there are abortion clinics in areas without a significant minority population? If so, spit them out because it seems to me that they are mostly concerned with the poor and minorities having babies.
Most churches I have seen are in it for reasons other than Christianity. However, Abortion wouldn't be a political issue if it wasn't for political football on it. For fucks sake, we have abortion rights advocates criticizing a commercial on TV for humanizing a fetus when the sonogram image showed the kid chasing a corn chip.
As for my beliefs, abortion is between you and your god if any. It shouldn't be a form of birth control and it shouldn't be a form of Eugenics where it is used to weed out the less desired among us. How many abortion clinics do you know of that do not have a significant minority population around it?
I don't think it matters as much as you think it does but Catholics already understand the differences between protestants and Catholics. It is nothing new and the Pope's spokes people have already came out and said the pope said something different then what was reported. Of course Trump backed down too.
I doubt that Catholic voters would be dissuaded by this. They certainly aren't dissuaded for the "I have a right to kill my unborn child" groups. Hell, Our vice president is one of those Catholics. And before you or anyone else chimes in to say it is just a fetus or some other stupid shit to rationalize abortion, it is an unborn child in religious circles. We can call it a parasite or mistake or anything else that eases people's conscious when we aren't specifically mentioning religious views.

Maybe you were laughing so hard that not only did you miss the your instead of you're but you missed the entire point too.
Perhaps if you read it again. Maybe get your mom to help.
Ok if you insist.. but what about the 6 nominations that were not withdrawn and never voted on?
Was I ambiguous in the 8 withdrawn nominations being separate from the no voting at all?

As long as you don't put on that robe and wizard hat mr blood ninja.
Your a bit naive.

A robot that fell down?
Hate to say it but it was making me angry too. I know it is just a robot and it not only shows off it's abilities but aids in learning. It is just that when watching it walk and open the doors, it reminded me of being drunk and the kids that ride the short bus. I kept thinking why's he being a dick and leave him alone.
I don't know if that is a testament to their progress or my imagination getting the best of me.
If i saw that coming, I would just start assassinating the people who would be left to live.
Why? Because with fewer of the special people , the more innocent idiots will get a chance.
Well - he wins so far. The problem is when that other 70% split between 5 or 6 others gets consolidated because 4 or 5 of them drop out. Granted some of that will go to trump but with 30% right now, it means 70% would like someone different right now.
Do you really want to work at a company that doesn't pay much that badly?
BTW, they will not increase H1B visas for one company who demonstrated that they won't pay the going wages. It's not as simple as that.
That's roughly $1400 a month take home. You could make it on that in most places in the midwest if you didn't try to rent a house/high end apartment or eat out all the time.
The biggest problem is expecting to survive off a single income. Most people find roommates or a spouse. $2800 a month is definitely livable for two people. But for some reason no one wants that.
So your phone and a finger? Not much different from right now I guess.
Well first it is $8.15 after taxes so the pay is actually higher. So assuming around 25% of her income goes to taxes (which i do not know the specific rates but that is close to what lower paid employees can expect to be withheld here in the mideast) she is making around $10.90/hour.

You should become an author and write fiction novels. You definitely have the imagination for it.
