Subtle “fuck you” from Obama to Sanders:

President Obama will not pull back the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court in a lame-duck session of Congress if Democrats keep control of the presidency, the White House reiterated on Friday.

“I cannot imagine a scenario where the president would withdraw support from his nominee,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.

The day before Earnest’s comments, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said if he succeeds Obama in the White House, he would ask the president to withdraw Garland so he could pick a more progressive nominee.

But the White House stressed Obama believes Garland, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, is the best candidate to fill the court vacancy left by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

I see idiots repeating again and again that Hillary is not liberal enough.

fivethirtyeight.com

Clinton was one of the most liberal members during her time in the Senate. According to an analysis of roll call votes by Voteview, Clinton’s record was more liberal than 70 percent of Democrats in her final term in the Senate. She was more liberal than 85 percent of all members. Her 2008 rival in the Democratic presidential primary, Barack Obama, was nearby with a record more liberal than 82 percent of all members — he was not more liberal than Clinton.

Clinton also has a history of very liberal public statements. Clinton rates as a “hard core liberal” per the ontheissues.org scale. She is as liberal as Elizabeth Warren and barely more moderate than Bernie Sanders. And while Obama is also a “hard core liberal,” Clinton again was rated as more liberal than Obama.

A judge has denied a request by Gov. Matt Bevin’s administration to temporarily close a Lexington abortion clinic that the state claims is operating illegally.

Fayette Circuit Judge Ernesto Scorsone ruled Friday against the state’s request for an injunction to close EMW Women’s Clinic on Burt Road. He said the Cabinet for Health and Family Services failed to present adequate evidence during a hearing Wednesday that it will eventually prevail in the lawsuit or that allowing the clinic to remain open as the lawsuit proceeds would cause “irreparable injury.”

“In addition to the evidence indicating that EMW is operating legally and in conformity with the most important regulations of a licensed abortion facility, closing the clinic is against the public interest,” Scorsone wrote. “EMW is the only physician’s office that routinely provides abortion services in the Eastern half of the state, and both parties agree that a right to an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy is constitutionally protected. Closing EMW would have a severe, adverse impact on the women in the Eastern part of the state.”

Bevin is, of course, going to appeal.

So more info about the capture of the Paris Attack Mastermind:

In the end police trapped the 26-year old a few hundred yards from where he grew up and where he was last spotted the day after the Paris attacks - in Molenbeek, the suburb home to several of the Paris gunmen and which has been described by some experts as a “den of Islamists”.

Wounded in the knee during the police raid and taken to hospital, Abedslam “instantly” confirmed his identity from his bed.

He used to be a terrorist, but then he took a bullet to the knee.

On behalf of New Jersey, please accept my heartfelt apologies for foisting this guy on the rest of America.

I have to admit, I almost feel sorry for Christie. Seeing tough Mr. Turn Trenton Upside Down reduced to a fawning lickspittle to Donald Trump, the new leader of the Republican Party, is kinda sad.

Then I remember how Christie posted videos of himself humiliating teachers and I think “Fuck you, asshole. Your chickens are coming home to roost and they’re bring Molotov cocktails.”

And as always, allow me to wallow in the fact I didn’t vote for this guy either time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Mark Kirk became the first Republican senator to break with party leaders and call for a vote on President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court selection, saying Friday, “It’s just man up and cast a vote.”

The statement by Kirk, who faces a difficult re-election battle this fall in Democratic-leaning Illinois, came two days after Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy created by the February death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Garland, a Chicago native, is chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Kirk’s stance directly contradicts the path charted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that most GOP senators have followed. McConnell has said for weeks that there will be no Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for any Obama nominee for the vacancy and no confirmation vote by the Senate.

“Right, it’s just man up and cast a vote,” Kirk said on the “‘Big’ John Howell” show on Chicago radio station WLS. “The tough thing about these senatorial jobs is you get yes or no votes. Your whole job is to either say yes or no and explain why.”

Kirk said he believes McConnell won’t relent, saying, “I don’t see his view changing too much.”

One of the side effects of the rise of Trumpism is that the religious right’s fixation with a handful of social issues is taken a back seat - no, rather, put into the trunk - to the Drumpfskind himself.

Looking over the blogosphere of the religious right reveals a scattering of the faithful. The usual outlets are spending half their energy with a StopTrump or NeverTrump campaign.

Slowly the change in America’s religious practices are being felt in our politics. I gather the religious right now feel as if victory has been snatched away from them, right before they accomplished their goal of gaining control of at least 2 branches of the federal government.

Economic concerns and fear of demographic change have clearly trumped (heh) the old religious right’s goals of social Christianization.

Ted Cruz is the ideal religious right candidate, but he is being smoked by someone who is the most obvious self-congratulating sinner to run for President in a long time.

Oh, the irony.

WWE dropped Hogan like a hot potato once the story surfaced.

Now Hogan’s actual losses can be no where near $115 million. His career not only in the WWE was pretty much extinct but his other efforts mostly have all ended in failure.

In other words, this is a big windfall for Terry Bollea, probably at least 10x, maybe 100x, his actual losses.

Mark Kirk is also on the critically endangered list for GOP Senators this fall. I’ll take what I can get from a Republican, but there’s nothing more to this than a (hopefully futile) attempt to survive in a general election in Illinois.

Nope. It wont put them out of business - yet. There will be the inevitable appeal. And that verdict is likely to be reduced.

The question will be by how much it will be reduced. I frankly don’t know.

But I know Chucky will be taking credit for all of it, even though he’d do the same thing Gawker did if the same kind of stuff fell in his lap.

re: #52 The Ghost of a Cunning Plan

Well, I’m in a generous mood today.

We must keep in mind that not every who self-labels as an “evangelical” is a fundamentalist.

Among the fundamentalists Drumpfskind has little support, outside of the scammers themselves who sit at the top of religious pyramid schemes.

Many religious people get drawn into the Drumpfsbetrug because they are habituated to being scammed in a similar manner.

But the more dogmatic fundamentalists are huffing and puffing at Drumpfskind.

Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and Larry Wilmore all would’ve been better replacements for Jon Stewart. Except for the little detail that all of them had network offers before he decided to retire. I think maybe it was all of them moving on that made him think it was time, he really didn’t want to stick around to recruit and train a whole new crop.
