What I am saying is that you are dishonest. You brought up precedent, not me. You claimed it was the next best thing to law, not me. I just pointed out that you do not believe or follow your own BS. I gave you a case that has decades of precedent and you refuse to honor that precedent. That tells anyone that you do not believe the BS you are spouting.
I do not need to define precedent, it was your word. I just used it to prove your falsehood.

I was talking about a tool.
You never understood what I responded to.
Your off on your own tangent that is meaningless to my statement.
Reread the reread of before you responded to me.

Damn, comrade punt, I agree with you...SCOTUS cannot write laws.
They can however create precedent, the next best thing.
This is the tool you lefties use.
The tool lefties don’t use is a dictionary of period while interpreting the constitution.
They don’t use it by choice.

What is precedent? It is the acknowledgement of a prior decision vetted for compliance with the intent of our Constitution.

“Marvel”? You can’t be serious. Though I disagree with trump supporters, I respect most of them enough to think they do anything more than tolerate her ravings.

I mean how can you start a comment with “Widdle franki” and be taken as anyone worthy of respect? I doubt any person with a minimum amount of self-respect would embarrass themselves like that.

Is precedent correct?
Look at past SCOTUS decisions on slavery as being Constitutional and precedent.
Precedent does not make it correct.

Roe v Wade. Society changes; so do laws and their interpretations.

Putin, Kim, Xi, or Trump?

We are starting to see how Putin has benefited from helping to get Trump elected:

"It’s time for Western leaders to abandon their wait-and-see attitude toward the evolution of Chinese-Russian relations and work out common strategies now to respond to this deepening relationship.

The Trump administration’s escalated pressures on Beijing and continued sanctions on Russia have helped drive the two sides more closely together than at any point since the 1950s."

"More significant is the underlying Xi-Putin bromance that’s spawning a flurry of economic and diplomatic deals even as US-China trade talks run aground.

At a press conference this week, Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Hanhui said the two sides are likely to sign joint communiques that will take relations to a new level, following a 24.5 % growth in trade in 2018 to a record $108 billion.

Zhang, reflecting Beijing’s increased bluntness toward Washington, said the two sides will deal with “outside challenges” and protect each other’s security and development.

“We firmly oppose the willful use [of] sticks of tariff and protectionism,” he said. “Deliberately provoking trade disputes is economic terrorism, economic hegemony and economic chauvinism.”

"A Manchurian candidate is a person, especially a politician, being used as a puppet by an enemy power. The term is commonly used to indicate disloyalty or corruption, whether intentional or unintentional."

Putin is very dangerous; He is playing chess and Trump thinks he's in a game of checkers.

You think he has never won a game of checkers 'eh.
By the time Putin comes up with a strategy, Trump will have 3 kings behind his opponent attacking from behind.

Rule #3 - To take down a clever adversary, you may have to create your own game.

Your childishness is almost frightening. Your support of the POS in the White House only reflects on your lack of morality.

Don’t know where you got the idea I oppose COiTUS. If you do it would help explain your cantankerous nature.

So, your little feelings are hurt that I said it was a stupid post? It is a stupid post. Disagreeing with you and calling it stupid is insulting? So, what was the post supposed to accomplish? Everyone guessing at who is the worst.

You post a negative and I didn't support the idiocy of it. Live with it.
