Sen. Roy Blunt, who is retiring, is a NO on Jackson, but says on ABC it’s “high point” for US to see her confirmed. “I don't think she's the kind of judge that will really do the kind of work that I think needs to be done” but says he understands “the importance of this moment."

The nomination of Judge Jackson and the insane excuses from the GOP to not vote for her will definitely help Dems in the election this year. 

Watching the committee votes, almost every gop member, who are all voting no, argued that KJB was impeccably qualified, a kind and engaging person, and a credit to the judicial system, but are voting no because, gop.

 

What the gop has done to politics in America these past 10-12 years, has made this toxic environment in DC, and I, unfortunately, see nothing but horrible endings to this divide.

One can hope it's the slow death of the GOP. Maga is doing a good job of rejecting/ejecting the better conservatives in the party after all.

i hope this to be true. 
 

but I’m guessing zero of them will remember come then, and any that do will find something to deem more important that conflicts with it.

What we are witnessing with the GOP committee votes is a party spit between the Trump acolytes who have fully gone off the deep end and the establishment weaklings who are basically apologizing without literally apologizing that they are voting no due to their radicalized base.

Supreme Court makes it easier to sue police when criminal charges are dropped

 

The Supreme Court on Monday made it easier to sue police and the government for malicious prosecution when charges are later dropped.

 

In a 6-3 ruling, the court said that in order to sue, a defendant doesn't have to be found not guilty by a judge or jury and prosecutors don't have to state that they wrongly filed charges. It’s enough, the court said, if the charges are simply dismissed.

 

“The question of whether a criminal defendant was wrongly charged does not logically depend on whether the prosecutor or court explained why the prosecution was dismissed,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the court’s majority.

 

The ruling was a victory for a Brooklyn man, Larry Thompson, who was arrested after a relative who was staying in his apartment called 911 and claimed Thompson was sexually abusing his newborn daughter.

 

When the police arrived, he said they couldn’t come in without a warrant. They barged in anyway and handcuffed him after a brief scuffle. The baby was taken to a hospital for evaluation, but the only marks on the child turned out to be diaper rash.

 

The relative who called 911 “apparently suffered from a mental illness,” court records said.

 

Even so, Thompson was charged with resisting arrest and kept in jail for two days. The prosecutor then dropped the charges, and the judge dismissed the case — both without explanation.

 

Thompson sued, claiming malicious prosecution and violation of his constitutional rights. He prevailed before a federal trial judge, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that such a claim can succeed only when a case ends with some affirmative indication of innocence.

 

The Supreme Court on Monday said that ruling was mistaken. Dissenting, Justice Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch said the court was wrong to validate Thompson’s claim under the Fourth Amendment. They said the elements of a malicious prosecution are wholly different than the constitutional guarantee against illegal search and seizure and called Thomas' lawsuit “a hybrid claim of uncertain scope.”

No surprise who the 3 were.

Doesn’t matter. All of those are eventually gone. After banning interracial marriage; they will probably classify interracial offspring as a lower class of human. They will go beyond banning gay marriage and ban and arrest all gays.

 

The Gop Christian Theocracy is coming.
