Re: Attorney Claims Scalia's Votes In Pending Cases Should Still Count
Greetings, tres borrachos. :2wave:
:agree: :thumbs: Logic is great, but it sure doesn't mean that both parties won't try their best to argue for - or against - what they want in the form of a decision! We're dealing with politicians, tres! :thumbdown: The fact that the Dems are on record saying that a nomination should be delayed in a POTUS election year will be an interesting fight to witness, IMO! :mrgreen:
I wish I knew more about how SCOTUS worked. It would come in handy in times like this, although I suspect the almost secretive nature in which they work is necessary.
My point was more about what the OP link was talking about, and also the idiotic OP itself calling him a "psychopathic sociopath" and droning on with partisanship about republicans and all of that. There's a much better way of discussing this than with petty insults and partisan crap. This really isn't a partisan issue. It's a logical issue, and it's hardly a dead man voting. Dead men can't vote, and to try to play it off that was is just stupid.
If Scalia cast votes, and it can be verified and proven, and most importantly, the other 8 justices agree, it's in the interest of everyone to observe his votes. We don't really need to be unnecessarily clogging up an already clogged up court system.
And, as TD said, dying immediately after you do something doesn't nullify what you did. If I sign a mortgage today and then die in a month, that doesn't mean my mortgage is going to be ripped up. If I send in my absentee ballot today and drop dead tomorrow, my vote is still going to count. These are actions before a death, not the actions of a dead person (as the OP dishonestly implies).
