Good to see he's nominating the same judge a centrist Republican might... And of course the Republicans will fight him anyway.
Pretty much sums up 2009-2016.

Removing lead seems a lot more attainable than free college / single-payer or deporting 11 million people. Good point about the college/single-payer thing. That's why there are so many countries around the world that have removed all traces of lead, but only one or two with single-payer healthcare and free college.

This is for Aleutionhoya: I had not been able to reach my wife who is a retired lawyer. When I reached her she told me that I was correct on my original post. If you have, let's say a California Bar, you CANNOT give legal advice or appear in court in Maryland. That is why many lawyers have multiple Bars. The exception is if you work for the federal government, you can appear in any state in a federal case. So I retract my original retraction. I think the line is somewhere in between what your wife is telling you, and what "Aleutionhoya" is posting. Technically, an attorney who is not admitted to practice in, say, North Dakota who gives legal advice on North Dakota matters could be committing the unauthorized practice of law in North Dakota. As a practical matter, bar associations will not pursue such charges, especially in today's climate where more and more legal matters cross state boundaries. This is true in a corporate practice, and also in litigation. What remains the same is that you have to be admitted to the bar in a jurisdiction in order appear before courts or tribunals in that jurisdiction (even if on a one-time pro hac vice basis). That being said, I think that outsourcing actual legal work to foreign countries is an animal of different nature and is more likely to run afoul of the rules of practice. Ironically, the fact that many firms/companies have pushed to have things like doc review determined as 'practicing law' (to have them assigned managerial positions and thus not have to provide OT and such) may come back to bite them on this very topic.

So as long as everyone in America works in a service position that literally can't be outsourced, everything will be fine.

"If you have computer skills, there are always jobs to be found."
Don't worry, they're already working on that little glitch by pretending they can't hire Americans (read as: we don't want to pay market value labor).
These "trade" agreements are a total shafting of American workers in the name of "American" corporations. I don't understand the defense of them because they require such leaps as "Americans won't do the jobs" which really means "we can use international workers without labor or wage protections instead."

Instead, it would be pragmatic to conclude that once the political season is under way, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over. Isn't that just begging the question? Why should my vote in 2012 not count in 2016? I voted for Obama because of the importance of nominating supreme court justices.

As someone pretty far on the left who has been watching the Dems sink into the quicksand, I'm quite enjoying this Trump/9-11/Pope/Bankruptcy twist to the conversation. We may end up destroying the country in this election cycle but nobody can say it isn't entertaining.

How on earth does that make Clinton the better choice? She doesn't want to change a broken system. She benefits from the broken system. She's a fundamental part of it.

Eh, I think that kind of vague nonsense played much better a few months ago. I'd respond but there's really nothing to respond to.

This is a great list of Bernie Sanders taking losing positions and never achieving anything meaningful. You mean an individual politician fighting a corrupt system has not been able to singlehandedly win against the military-industrial complex, big banks, racism, and poverty?!? Wow he sure is such a joke LOL!!!

You mean Hillary is rich, right? Like $125M rich? I'm no Hillary supporter (obviously), but how can she not have a better answer to these questions that repeatedly pop up? "That's what they offered[.]" Seriously? Her entire premise is to attack the legitimacy of the question itself, or if that's too difficult, to pretend she doesn't even understand what the question is asking. The town hall last night was pathetic - she doesn't actually respond to anything.

1 - That's a very legit time for Sanders, especially from back when.
2 - The 'inevitability and seriousness' argument from Clinton supporters is getting weaker and weaker...

I abhor no one. Certain beliefs on the other hand... The Jesus-y ones?

From today's Wall Street Journal. Read the whole article if you get a chance. Whatever the findings from that part of the probe, intelligence-community investigators believe it is nearly certain that Mrs. Clinton’s server was hacked, possibly by the Chinese or the Russians. This raises the distinct possibility that she would be subject to blackmail in connection with those transactions and whatever else was on that server by people with hostile intent against this country. But wouldn't any potential blackmail be canceled out by the bribes associated with the Clinton Foundation? I think that's how it works...

It was so cruel of Obama to force Palin's son to punch a woman in the face and threaten people with guns. If only he loved our troops more! Trump 2016??

Putting aside all previous discussion above, be forewarned!! Every time you buy a car, apply for any kind of loan, mortgage, etc, go to the doctor, file your income tax, open a bank account, etc., your personal information is being compromised and it passes through many people including some lower level employees. Your personal information is out there. No one is going to call you and tell you that they know your net worth. It is highly disturbing, but that is the way things are. Apparently you never learned the difference between public and private actors. Your private sector bank needs your personal financial information to determine your fitness for their loans, so how can you possibly be upset that government is recording all of your communications??
