    It was important to me and I am the one who decides what I write.

    lots of people have challenged the FDR idiocy-sadly, DDE appointed conservative judges who tended to be slaves to bad precedent. The good news is that DOBBS proved that the current court is willing to get rid of poorly decided cases that have been around for decades.

    do you think people challenging the often officious BS you post is "pestering you"? WTF are you on a board where not everyone slurps from the same socialist soda fountain as you do

    When someone's post is not important to me, I merely ignore it.

    When you effectively counter his arguments he's quick that cry "you're pestering me". Or pester you for a "quote" from a PDS-certified website.

    I'm probably the only person on this board who has lectured ABA law schools on the second amendment and have had a history of scholarship in the area too

    The caliber of your comments are not consistent with that claim.

    That makes me disbelieve you.

    WELL I doubt you are in a position to be able to judge such a claim.

    Here's the total content of your posts thus far, color coded red and green.

    Red = Cop outs
    Green = Non arguments

    Every post you have made is either a cop out, a lazy retort to avoid debate, or a non argument, i.e, a nothing comment, a comment irrelevant to the OP.

    Now, if you have a problem with the OP, that's a debate point, state your case.
    Ahh, there it is, you refuse to do it, you make 'holier than thou' comments, which is NOT an argument.


    #20
    John Stewart? Meh.
    #22
    And his definition of Patriotism is unquestioning obeisance to the progressive line.
    #29
    Don't have to; you guys do it several times a day.
    #86
    Every time he opens his mouth - take your pick.
    #88
    What part of "take you pick" is unclear?
    Heck, read your own posts, they're worshipful regurgitations of his mantras.
    #137
    Why should I waste my time repeating that everything he says covers the question
    #150
    Nope, as I've indicated it's in every, or almost every statement he makes. And you know aw well as I do, no matter which quote I posted you'd go into one of your AI induced blather marathons. So why bother.

    We are anonymous, so there is no 'you', or 'me' no 'authorship', there is only the argument, that's all that matters, and so, your comment is a cop out, a lazy retort to avoid serious debate.
    #156
    When you effectively counter his arguments he's quick that cry "you're pestering me". Or pester you for a "quote" from a PDS-certified website.

    Annoying non arguments and/or cop outs are pester comments, hence the request 'please pester someone else'
    #156
    I already covered that. Pay attention.

    You haven't covered squat. You cop out or say nothing.

    You contribute NOTHING to the topic under discussion, you just waste the forum's time.

    I find his points salient and well taken. People seem to agree given his post to likes ratio is far far higher than yours. His posts don't appear to be talking points taken from some disinformation site either

    I just did.

    A true scholar wouldn't have to make that claim.

    It would show in his work.

    And, as for your prose, sorry, I'm not seeing it.

    Only fools flaunt there education on anonymous forums, because the ONLY proof is their words, and the darndest thing is, your prose lacks scholarship. You are far below the mark. I think you know it. Hell, what kind of scholar hangs out on debate forums like this? What kind of 'attorney' worth his salt finds a forum like this 'entertaining'?

    What, you didn't get the memo?

    But, feel free to dazzle us with your 'scholarship'.

    Hah!

    Your criticism is akin to some tribal witch doctor claiming that someone with an Ivy league medical degree doesn't sound like a medical doctor. I find it amusing that you post long tomes of pseudo legal arguments that fall apart when examined by anyone who actually has a legal education

    Yeah, you would.

    You find pointless points 'well taken', and you claim to be a scholar?
    talk about a meaningless point. Hell, Hitler got more likes than me, too. Trump, the dumbest President
    in history has 75 million 'likes'.

    Your point is?

    What, you post for likes? How sad.
    By the way, all that matters is the argument.

    If you don't agree with whatever is posted in the OP, debate it, state your case, but your comment, highlighted, is not an argument.

    Posturing is a pseudo debate trick.

    Posturing is not an argument.

    That you don't understand something so fundamental defies your credibility and is inconsistent with claims of 'scholarship'.

    As I said, you are in no position to judge scholarship.
