Action movie stars are always Republican because that's what their fans expect but who knows what it actually means in practice?

I'll consider voting for a Republican again when and if they clean house of foreign money, racists, lizard people, randbots, tax dodgers, billionares, Rob Schneider, Teenage Mutant Legislative Turtles, Nazis and waterboard Sean Hannity. I'll consider it.

Juries are good but if either the prosecutor or defense wants to kick off a juror the judge should make that decision.

Dietrich posted:How do we know the Rock is the second coming of Ronald Reagan again? There was a survey several years ago of sport watching peoples showing WWE fans were very liberal overall (the only group more liberal were WNBA fans IIRC) but they also were the least likely to vote. The results were pretty correlated to income and ethnicity, and there are many minority wrestling fans.

BarbarianElephant posted:Trump would be pleased to appoint those specialists for you. People who could be completely unbiased. How is that worse than the current system? Make the appointment of judges something that a bipartisan panel of qualified jurists in each jurisdiction is responsible for. There's still going to be bias (Alabama judges compared to New York judges) but it's miles better than having them elected by the populace. Adopt one of the European systems that allow for the participation of lay judges in certain cases if you are unwilling to give up the idea of a jury trial completely, I don't care. But leaving the fate of defendants in the hands of 12 morons fresh off the street is mad.

Nah cause they're still in the same debacle where it's not conservative enough for the Ted Cruzes and Rand Pauls of the party, but it's way too hardcore for the "saner" Republicans who are getting yelled at by their constituents.
