By this point in the terms of the last two presidents, I'd started forgetting who the losing candidates were. I don't hear too much about the losing Republican candidates (or any other party) even though they lost too, didn't they?

YES. ABSOLUTELY!!
It seems to me you are not actually evaluating them based on their opinions and votes on cases, but on who appointed them...and then saying Bill Clinton appointed extreme left justices. It's your circular logic. No, not even close to being extreme left. But then I follow the court very closely. The Clintons are very conservative Democrats. For example, Clinton pushed through Congress both the banking and insurance modernization acts with very little Democratic support and overwhelming Republican support. This ended Glass Steagall. Clinton pushed through Welfare reform that limited the time people could be on welfare and created work requirements. There is much more. When you say 'left', I frankly don't know what you mean. I personally hate the terms left and right, conservative and liberal because they are close to meaningless. |

You slip is showing again. You didn't waste your time showing us their liberalism because.... why? Your claim is "extreme left". Now go back to the start and show us the extreme leftists, not liberals, on the Supreme Court.
For the class,... here's your original statement:

Laughable.
Or maybe not, if you can provide evidence that... If this is proof positive, and if the writer ("Rusty") has been spent a couple of years hearing it, then it should be a stroll in the park to provide evidence that Hillary ever said something like that. Preemptively, "vote for me because woman are awesome" or the like doesn't qualify. I eagerly await your response and the resultant mutual knowledge transfer. Add: I do realize I'm going out on a limb here, what with "Rusty" as the data source. * * * * This thread is inspiring me to resurrect Sarah Palin and flail at her as if that would even be slightly relevant in 2018. |

It probably wouldn't make a dent on the people you'd be aiming it at. I am quite sure that they would, without the slightest hint or even awareness of irony, explain how she had been railroaded by her political opponents, and that her record was grossly distorted or even fabricated by her enemies. |

You still haven't said what 'extreme left' opinions either Breyer or Ginsburg has written and what makes those positions 'extreme left'. You keep saying these people are extreme. I want to understand in your mind what is an EXTREME left position.
And compared to what? Your position? The positions held by the majority or perhaps just by the Alabama chapter of the John Birch Society? |

It's hilarious when y'all try to imitate people who point out obvious bigots like Dolt 45, yet somehow never manage to figure out that it's their beliefs and actions that earn them the label, and not simply because they're "a white male".
Also, Cuomo's big problem is his conservative (note the difference between "conservative" and "bigoted reactionary") lean, and his habit of manipulating party politics using money. IMO, His main opponent Nixon (who is also white, dunno how picking one over the other makes Hillary Clinton "racist") is the simple fact that she has no experience in politics - although she seems to be mostly in the right place ethically and politically, there's no guarantee she'll be able to get anything done. |

This thread quite clearly illustrates otherwise. Oh, you're quite happy to spew insults and invective at liberals; that's certainly true.
...But when it actually comes down to explanations that are, you know, meaningful, and discussions with substance, your rhetoric simply isn't up to the task... Hence we get the predictable question dodges like you're doing now. LOL |

Well, I find it fascinating that folks on the left need it explained why Ginsburg is considered a leftist, or Breyer, or Sotomayor or Kagan. So since none of you would ever agree that they are in fact left, even though most others consider them left, it’s probably a waste of time to argue that. Wouldn’t you agree?

Nonsense (yet again). You're Humpty-Dumptying. "Far left" means what I say it means.
No, it doesn't. Show us the far left decisions and cases of just one of them. I'll go with Notorious R.B.G. Please show the class, with cites (hint: stump speeches by Louie Gohmert are not "cites") the "far left" body of work you find in Ginsburg's considerable case history. I'm sure you can find at least one. We'll wait. |

It's ridiculous. All he keeps saying is they are "extreme left" As if that says a damn thing. Everyone has opinions, statements and actions. That doesn't make them Extreme or Left. Chief Justice Roberts appointed by W. voted for the personal mandate for the affordable care act. Was that an extreme left position? And more importantly, what makes it extreme? |

Two classic liberal dissents to conservative court majorities' bad decisions and an opinion piece by a right wing writer.
So, we'll ask again.... do you have any evidence in Ginsburg's lifetime of work that she's part of the far left. Alternately, just concede that you're so far right that you have the Humpty Dumpty Pass and can call anyone you disagree with "Far Left". See? We've got different upbringings. I actually know people on the far left. You think the guy who ran for Alderman down at Logger Acres is far left because he wants to post a crossing guard at Robert Taft Elementary and your delivery trucks would have to slow down. |
