    Just wondering where the American melting pot ends and cultural appropriation begins.

It's not like all their rulings are aimed at one political side while leaving the other side unaffected.

    You all are some masochistic sumbitches.
    Because we support their judicial philosophy?

    Better start looking for anther drunken slut to make false claims. If domer's mother isn't available, perhaps yours can step in.
    Actually Bart was the drunk and the entire world witnessed that, so you're not going to get far with anyone who thinks at all.

    Actually melting pot is now considered a microaggression. The biggest part of what made America so great is people came here from all over the world yet we all became Americans. Guess the attitude on that has changed today

    Which is what? Also, by that answer you mean that you fully support any and all decisions a Conservative SC would pass even if it denied or prevented you personally from something you felt was your right to have?

    I don't agree with myself 100% of the time let alone other people. So no, just because I support someone or something doesn't mean I always agree. But if you asked me who my judicial beliefs are closer to, Scalia or RGB I would say Scalia

    In Texas, you learn that when you fall off your horse, you dust off the seat of your pants, and mount back up!

    Beto, will knock the dust off his ass, and prepare to challenge Cornyn in the 2020 election to knock him off his Congressional Seat!

    This makes sense to me.

    Some writers on the topic note that the concept is often misunderstood or misapplied by the general public, and that charges of "cultural appropriation" are at times misapplied to situations such as eating food from a variety of cultures, or learning about different cultures.[23] Commentators who criticize the concept believe that the act of cultural appropriation does not meaningfully constitute a social harm, or that the term lacks conceptual coherence.[24][25] Some argue that the term sets arbitrary limits on intellectual freedom and artists' self-expression, reinforces group divisions, or itself promotes a feeling of enmity or grievance, rather than liberation.[25][26][27][28]

    We know Katie Perry is a political liberal but she got crushed for cultural appropriation. Do you think what happened to her was right?

    2 days ago, he said he wasn't making any promises one way or the other!

    Here in Texas, we don't want Beto for president!

    Now, we just want Beto to knock Cornyn off his lofty little perch!

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
