I interviewed Hadley Arkes.

His opinion is that Originalism is not enough as viewed by the current court, including his friends.
Stopping Dobbs before declaring personhood is one example.

If a Politician, and/or his Son, and family is taking money from our citizen and he isn't working for the people the people, he is working the people who paid him, and who are also paying his Crack-Head Son, the we’re electing idiots.There is simply no better word I can think of to describe the current person occupying the White House at this time and his sycophants in his Cabinet than idiots. A nd it’s not just the money, it’s also the job, or LACK of doing the Job! It’s also the security of our Country that’s on the line, and the influence peddeling that his UNFIT, INEPT, out of Control Son has already done. It’s called Bribery.
ReplyDeleteWe are sitting back and electing the wrong peole with electing the same status quo lifetime career politicians like we have been doing by voting “down the “Party” lines that is the problem.
There is simply no better word I can think of to describe Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelos, and ESPECIALLY Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, and the many other sycophants in Congress than idiots. We must do better.
We can, and we must do better.
What "we must do better" means:

There's your swamp.
For being a notorious drug and crack addict Hunter Biden has done quite well for himself. Hunter Biden has no real marketable job skills, except smoking crack, knocking up strippers, and threatening a Chinese oligarch. Suddenly Hunter becomes an artist with mysterious buyers! Humm Isn’t that something that should be investigated. After all the previous “House” has invetigated many things and people for FAR LESS, like just making a Phone Call to the President of Ukraine for example.
ReplyDeleteHunter Biden’s first arrest may have been when he was 18. Hunter was arrested on Jersey Shore related to drug charges in 1988 and had his record expunged.
Many years later and after several stops into drug treatment facilities Hunter joined his father the Vice President on a trip to China in 2013 where Hunter — inexperienced and out of place — was able to secure a $1.5 billion from China for private equity fund which he was forming at the time.
A year later in early 2014 Hunter was discharged from the Navy for testing positive for cocaine.
As Banks Fail and Americans Scramble to Protect Retirement Accounts With Physical Gold and Silver, A Faith-Based Company Shows Them How
Then in April 2014, just a couple months later, Hunter Biden Hunter joined the Board of Burisma Holdings in the Ukraine. Hunter served on the Board until early 2019. Hunter was paid approximately $50,000 a month in his position.
The largest oil and gas company in the Ukraine hired a chronic drug addict only a few months after the addict was removed from the US Navy for doing cocaine.
In 2016 Hunter Biden returned a rental car with a crack pipe with cocaine residue and a small amount of a white, powdery substance.
A used crack pipe, credit cards, a Delaware Attorney General badge, US Secret Service business cards, two ID’s belonging to Hunter Biden, son of former VP Joe Biden were found in a Hertz rental car in Arizona.
A lab analysis of the crack pipe revealed it was used to smoke cocaine, not meth, however, no fingerprints were found on the pipe.
And surprise, surprise, the County and City Attorney’s offices declined to prosecute Hunter Biden.
Hunter was never charged with a crime in this incident.
In 2018 Hunter fathered a child with a Washington DC stripper while he was dating his dead brother’s wife.
In 2018 the IRS placed a tax lien on Hunter Biden seeking $112,805 in unpaid taxes from 2015.
And according to Page Six, Hunter Biden allegedly spent time at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in New York City in 2018. Hunter allegedly ordered pricey booze, was joined by several strippers in a private room while he did drugs and had strippers run to find him a dildo.
In 2020 Hunter Biden was tied to a human trafficking ring with women who appear to be involved in the sex industry, including non-resident alien women in the US who are citizens of Russia or Ukraine.
You won’t see this information in the media because they still working overtime to prop up senile Joe Biden as president.
In 2020 The New York Post released a photo of Hunter Biden sleeping with a crack pipe in is mouth like a pacifier.
These are just a few of the public allegations against Hunter Biden.
After years of drug abuse, there are likely many more episodes not yet public.
Hunter has done quite well for himself despite his addictions thanks to his powerful , and Delusional Father.
I truly can’t care less about how the fascist leftist Socialists will label me a racist for what I am posting or whatever else they might say!
ReplyDeleteWhen I see advertisements on television and I didn't know any better I'd think we are living in Africa, not America. The majority of advertisements are now absolutely, positively dominated by Black Actors and Actresses. Well, what makes that interesting is, the percentage of black people in America is 13.6%, yet they are in they are now on the majority of advertisements. So, I ask; why are there not more advertisements featuring Latinos instead of Black people? There are more Latinos in America than Black people, there are more white people in America than Black people - yet Black people now are dominating the advertisements. Do we live in Africa and I am just not aware of it and I am using stats for America instead of Africa? Don't EVER talk to me about white privilege, the only racial privilege that there is now is Black privilege - that is the only race that has a privilege, and yer we DON’T hear anybody complaing about that as they did with White privilege! So what the hell!
As for me, I would not mind at all seeing some advertisements featuring Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Eastern Indians and giving them some identity and significance as well. Why are some of these ethnicities being ignored? And what the heck was all that NONSENSE about Whites? Supposedly, we live in the melting pot known as America - not Africa, perhaps corporations should do a better job of diversity instead of caving in to Black privilege. And WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BIDEN’s DIVERSIFY? This White BOY would like to know!
Probably because the Media is the most gullible consumers, so the marketers go after them. If they can be sold “Rap” as real music, they can be sold anything. Same with daytime TV. Who else sits around watching any of that crap?
And now, Guess what, they are doing the exact same thing with the LGBTQ’s and Guess what again? They are shoving that down our throats and the American public has gotten SICK of it and they are rebelling.
Mighty white of our radical redneck friend.
Delete"Don't EVER talk to me about white privilege, the only racial privilege that there is now is Black privilege"
I'd like him to explain what "Driving while black" is and why there's no such thing as "Driving while white".
After all, HE's the expert on race and being black.
Amazing how Joe Biden is both a "senile idiot" and "criminal mastermind", depending on which batch of lies, misinformation, resentment and hate the accuser embraces.
ReplyDeleteNote the hate for Hunter Biden for drug use and his sex life, but do you think any of these haters wanted Rush Limbaugh imprisoned? Do they hold Jared and Ivanka to the same standard as Hunter's cashing in? Trump's predatory sex crimes were ignored and dismissed by religious hypocrites as well.
How will these fanatics explain THAT to their Savior? How will these pseudo-patriots, waving their Confederate flags, defend Trump from his willful abuse of military/nuclear secrets?
And there it is. Hypocrisy writ large into radical Right DNA.
I swear they will cling to any lie that supports their hate for anyone who doesn't worship their Orange Messiah.

The entire Biden administration appears to be filled with Criminals, from the President all the way down to His Ignorant Press Secretary.
Anonymous. Thanks for confirming my assessment of the "doublethink" on the Right. Biden is both a "senile idiot" and "criminal mastermind".
ReplyDeleteGood thing you have Trump to define your reality, or you would be lost.

ReplyDeleteWhereas the allegation that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election has been revealed as false by numerous in-depth investigations, including the recent report by Special Counsel John Durham, which documents how the conspiracy theory was invented, funded and spread by President’s Trump’s political rivals;
Whereas Representative Adam Schiff, who served as ranking minority member and then Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives (the “Intelligence Committee”), occupied positions of extreme trust, affording him access to sensitive intelligence unavailable to most Members of Congress;
Whereas for years, Representative Schiff abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed;
Whereas for years, Representative Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia;
Whereas on March 20, 2017, Representative Schiff perpetuated false allegations from the Steele Dossier accusing numerous Trump associates of colluding with Russia into the Congressional Record;
Whereas once again abusing his privileged access to classified information, Representative Schiff released a memo justifying the accuracy of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant application on Trump associate Carter Page, of which was later found by Inspector General Horowitz to have 17 major mistakes and omissions, provoking FISA Court Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer to state unequivocally that the Federal Bureau of Investigation “misled the FISC”;
Whereas as ranking minority member and Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Representative Schiff behaved dishonestly and dishonorably on many other occasions, including by publicly, falsely denying that his staff communicated with a whistleblower to launch the first impeachment of President Trump;
Whereas as part of his impeachment efforts, during a hearing on September 26, 2019, Representative Schiff misled the public by reading a false retelling of a phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky;
Whereas on March 28, 2019, every Republican member of the Intelligence Committee signed a letter calling for Representative Schiff’s immediate resignation as Chairman;
Whereas Representative Schiff hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security; and
Whereas these actions of Representative Schiff misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—
(1) the House of Representatives censures Adam Schiff, Representative of the 30th Congressional District of California, for misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives;
(2) Representative Adam Schiff will forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure;
(3) Representative Adam Schiff will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and
(4) the Committee on Ethics shall conduct an investigation into Representative Adam Schiff’s falsehoods, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information.
And the Bottom line is that ...
ADAM SCHIFF IS UNFIT FOR OFFICE, AND SHOULD BE EXPELLED FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND DISBARRED IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE HE HOLDS A LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW. Schiff is also unfit for the U.S. Senate as a replacement for the retiring Senator Diane Feinstein.
But Santos is an honorable man. They are all, all honorable Republicans.
Delete"Whereas for years, Representative Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia;"
SCHIFF: Russia committed federal crimes to help Trump? MUELLER: Absolutely.
SCHIFF: Trump and his campaign welcomed & encouraged Russian interference?
MUELLER: Yes.
SCHIFF: And then Trump and his campaign lied about it to cover it up?
MUELLER: Yes.
Now that the Supreme Court weighd in on the legality of Biden’s empty promise, and most likely will rule that Joe Biden has no legal authority to forgive these student loans, how will that lie to young voters show their disappointment in the 2024 elections? Will they come out in force again like for the 2022 mid-terms? Or will they think that they were simply played and not vote for Biden?
ReplyDeleteBut Nothing Will Change. He'll tell the students he's still working on the “Loan Forgiveness” which he is not, and they'll believe him, like the brainwashed dummies that they are.
I seriously doubt if t Voters will fall for Bidens BS again, I think that these voters have already found out that Bidumb’s promises are not even worth the paper that they are written on. And that we are in a place where the Delusional president simply says whatever he thinks will give him more votes, and just waves a Magic Wand to get things done.
He never does a good job of for filling ANY of his promises, fixing anything. Everything that this “TOOL” does is strictly for Votes.
I think he just shot his mouth off during the campaign but couldn’t keep his promise, and he knew it.
This is what the Left, and the Alzheimer Patient in Chief does, they will promise it again and then forget they made said promise and the idiot voters will forget again also .. its one of the lefts “M.O’s”. He'll tell them the same lie again, and they'll fall for it again. That's what the Democrats do.
Even Nancy Pelosi said that people who believe President Joe Biden can forgive student debt on his own are Misinformed.
“The president can’t do it,” Pelosi said, at a press briefing. “That’s not even a discussion.”
Pelosi said any Student Debt Forgiveness would have to be carried out by Congress. No Matter What Other People in her party have said,

Well we know they're comfortable with burning down police stations, federal courthouses, rioting, looting, brainwashing children into racism and Marxist gender dogma....
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say they're perfectly comfortable with a cornucopia of degeneracy and literal destruction - as long as MSDNC and the NY Times explain to them why it's either a) oh so necessary or b) a Right Wing conspiracy theory.
Anyone still voting Democrat at this point is either clueless or evil.
So much hate, so little grounding in reality with verifiable evidence..."they're comfortable with burning down police stations, federal courthouses, rioting, looting, brainwashing children into racism and Marxist gender dogma...."
DeleteWe've heard this same rhetoric about Jews in 1930's Germany.

ReplyDelete"Schiff misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives" But Santos is a pillar of honesty and integrity...
Trump LIED about winning the election, sent an armed violent mob to the Capitol, and watched them for hours on TV as they terrorized Congress and beat cops to overturn the election for their Fuhrer's Putsch. Then he PRAISED his thugs. "You're very special. We love you."

"Abusing his privileged access to classified information"?
“I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this – this is off the record but – they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him. These are the papers. This was done by the military and given to me. See as president I could have declassified it. Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
“Now we have a problem,” his staffer responds.
“Isn’t that interesting?” Trump says.
Watch them twist this evidence to suit their Fuhrer's lies.
If we could REASON with Trump supporters, they wouldn't BE Trump supporters.
Age dissuasion is over! Even Joe Biden's Closest Advisers believe that he Is TOO OLD TO RUN AGAIN !
ReplyDeleteSo when the White House has already admitted that Joey Biden is too old to travel and is being limited on how much travel he can do, and especially how limmited they have made him to say on his own...
Hell, even the majority of the country believes he is too old to run again ... and serve 4 more years...if heeven makes it through the last 2 years.
So, the bottom line is when his closest advisors begin openly voicing concern over his age, his physical ability to even walk and his ability to campaign, run and serve its time to put the old horse ( or in his case, The Old Donkey) out to pasture with the rest of the JackAss’s .
Lyin’ Biden Blames the Republicans for his being UNABLE to pass the Student Loan Forgiveness bill.
ReplyDeletePresident Joe Biden vowed Friday to push ahead with a new plan providing student loan relief for millions of borrowers, while blaming Republican “hypocrisy” for triggering the day’s Supreme Court decision that wiped out his original effort.
It doesn’t look like he told the truth even once in the entire speech, as the Fact-checkers targeted Biden over “False and Misleading' statements about the Student Loan Forgiveness bill.
And then he goes on to claim that the economy is growing - It’s growing? . Call him a Liar AGAIN!
LYIN’ Biden said his administration had already begun the process of working under the authority of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which he called “the best path that remains to provide as many borrowers as possible with debt relief.”
Lyin Biden also claimed (multiple times) that he's funded 700,000 major construction projects. The actual number is 7,000, and NOT 700,000. I won't even go into the other Blatant Lies, that he keeps telling over and over Again. Like he cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion another total Lie.
A new Michigan hate speech Bill that has passed the state House and is now in the hands of the Senate is alarming conservatives, people of faith, and legal experts.
ReplyDeleteThe bill is part of a package of legislation that would replace Michigan’s existing Ethnic Intimidation Act and make it a hate crime to cause someone to “feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” Under the bill’s framework, “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” are included as classes protected against intimidation. If passed, the hate speech legislation would make violators guilty of a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000.
THIS IS Crazy! The Government controlling thought with the thought police to imprison offenders.
This is insanity.
I didn't think that the Michigan voters were so stupid!!
People who support this have no idea what our great country is about. They have no regard for our constitution either. This could be the result of years of our Democrat controlled education system that conditions instead of educates. It should come as no surprise that the Marxist groomers we call teachers and professors are now mass-producing student Marxists in our schools and universities.
So, will the Left pack the court, continue to threaten and intimidate them every day, like we saw them giving out their addresses to loons that show up at their homes to murder them, or will they simply bid their time to let their ballot harvested tool of a President replace them?
Only bigots are upset that Michigan won’t allow them to harass and intimidate LGBTQ people. But they’re all in for shooting a black person on their doorstep for making them feel “threatened”.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the tradition started by Hitler, they call everyone they hate “Marxists”.
Isn’t it odd how they fear “packing the court” after they denied the Black President’s choice because it was “too close to an election” by EIGHT months? Then rammed through their theocratic cult woman while voting was in progress in 2020
No, it isn’t odd. It is authoritarian and dishonest. It is what they are.
I can’t think of any hypocrisy that compares to the hate and lies of the Christian nationalists of the Party of Trump.
They’re good with the religious Right Federalist Society having three of their unqualified stooges installed by a criminal seditionist, who praised thugs for terrorizing Congress and beating cops to overturn the election in service to his Big Lie.
The cult loyalists whine like spoiled toddlers. "WAAAH! Big Daddy won! And Democrats are COMMIES!"
Oh man, so much to like in this interview. I like "restore the moral ground of the American revolution." It's impossible to purge morality from law. Most law is morality codified. We need to grow up on this.

I did not follow why they didn't go as far as personhood in Dobbs. So I found his discussion on Kavanaugh unsettling. I fear the "approved, celebrated, promoted" model is burning through the culture, now with the trannies. Just seem slike the timeline is getting more compressed. I'm glad you asked the question about the court following the will of the people by 10 years. His answer would be the same for this issue. Yes, Roe had cheerleaders pushing that into the culture, and once the law came down it set the rudder for teaching and creating 2 generations lacking common sense. Then we started down a trail of "I can do that" to "you have to pay for it."
Also liked his distinction between hearing 2 opposing sides in a court, vs. multiple perspectives in hashing out matters in the legislature. Excellent point.
If that baby had those rights, when did she acquire them? Excellent discussion!!

PS - sorry so many comments have wandered off topic. This was a very worthy listen.
This was one of my favorite interviews.
DeleteWe talked on the phone for some time a week before the interview. He missed a recording time with me because Metaxas held him over and he forgot.
I told him I was happy to have some time to finish his book and he said, "My dear fellow, you actually read my book!".
"There should be none above the law." Except for Trump and his seditionist thugs who terrorized Congress and beat cops bloody to overturn our election. Trump PRAISED these thugs, "You're very special. We love you". These "Camp Auschwitz" thugs are heroes to every neo-Nazi and Trump sucker. They see them as "victims".
ReplyDeleteTrump LOST, by every count, re-count, court case and certification. Yet his cult cannot comprehend the POSSIBILTY that their Dear Leader is a liar.
