John Paul Stevens, 'The Rule Of Law Judge,' Known As A 'Judge's Judge' | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
I hope he put up a fight against the MSNBCannibal attack
Stop thumbing up your stupid obsessed crazy posts nut bag.
Hey, loosen your tinfoil hat, it’s cutting off the blood supply to your brain.
Did he die?
No he went to the moon/s
Suddenly. At 99
Wish there were more ethical judges like him on the supreme court these days.
In the future…
“Former president trump was buried today. Police and Secret Service personnel were on hand to marshall the 25 million Americans who visited his last resting place to dance on his grave.”
Assuming you can ever push Melania out of the way to do so. Of course maybe she can sell tickets to access the grave, kind of like they do at Graceland.
They’ll have to dump Trump in the ocean like Bin Laden! Not the Pacific or Indian though. Arctic
💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Over the years DJTurd’s tombstone will no doubt be graffitied over and over
Sweet dreams !
The Supreme Court’s job should be to uphold the rule of law. Yes, we may disagree with it, but if that is what is being followed, that is critical because it proves that the law is the law.
I’m going to wear a bow tie this week to honor him.
RJ SIMPKINS : That’s kinda’ touching . . . Nice idea . . . Nice thought. The sort of thing that people may comment on, around the water cooler, presenting the opportunity to talk about Justice Stevens; maybe inform them? I like people like you 👍✌️
Bowties are cool.
Rest in Peace Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens
Yes, may we all fight on for the rule of law.
Justice John Paul Stevens was true conservative. A man who valued the rule of law and precedent more than any other Supreme Court Justice. He knew he wielded great power, but his greatness is rooted in how he chose use that power with restraint and dignity. He was a great man and an even greater American. May He Rest In Peace.
B Ok : Good comment. Good words 👍✌️
“Not above the law” – That is the be all and end all of the rule of law. Without upholding this principle, there can be no equal justice under the law and therefore no civility.
But we must not be surprised that this principle is not upheld in the United States of America. It fits right in the picture with undemocratic mechanics like electoral college and partisan gerrymandering on steroids. Its all meant to have a minority rule over the majority.
by mechanics you mean the law, right? the court ruled the law sides with the states on gerrymandering and naturally the electoral college too so which is it? you favor the rule of law only when it suits you?
Never heard of Stevens, till he died. Sounds like a great guy, from the biography I got from CNN, though. A man who quietly contributed to America, asking nothing in return. RIP ✌️
Now if that old hag RGB will follow him.
Does this mean Dotard is going to replace Justice Steven’s position with a pro-tRump judge like Kavanagh?
He hasn’t exactly had Trump’s back . He is there to push corporate agenda not Trump’s .
Wasn’t this thejudge who advocated for redoing the US constitution?
IS THIS THE JUDGE FROM THE PEOPLE’S COURT? HE HAD A BAILIFF WITH A DOG NAME….RUSTY!
