Re: Notre Dame to play first ever FCS team - Tennessee State in 2023
Good story line! But Fordham and Holy Cross fans are furious about the oversight. “We’ll go all the way to the Vatican on this!” exclaimed one disappointed Crusader fan. Fact: Notre Dame always ducked Fordham in the pre-WW II era. Knute Rockne once told Frank Cavanaugh that he would never schedule ...

Re: SCOTUS
Maybe you're right. Overall, I'd think she'd be a great choice. But I do think the progressive left wants another cultural flamethrower, like Sotomayor, not another Kagan. I think a lot of people were bamboozled by Sotomayor. She comes on with this grandmotherly “wise Latina” schtick and ends up be...
Re: SCOTUS
She's not nearly liberal enough for the Democratic/progressive base. She'd get over 50 votes if nominated, but Biden is going to be disappointing a lot of his base with a carbon copy of Kagan. The same base that howled when Garland didn’t even get a vote? If Biden picks Jackson, the left will fall ...
Re: SCOTUS
Jackson has strong academic and professional credentials. And she’s only in her early 50s. Haven’t heard much “far left” stuff about her, except she has a D next to her name. If she gets the nomination, she’ll be confirmed without breaking a sweat. At least 55 votes in favor. She's not nearly liber...

Re: US SOCCER
It felt like Mexico out-possessed them 2:1 and the US commits SO many turnovers. To me it felt like the reverse of US-Ghana 2006 and 2010 where they just hung on and made the best of a couple chances. I guess that's how upsets go. I would just like to see the US outplay Mexico, not just outscore. B...

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Douche
He was impeached as a sitting President. The Senate conducts a trial and that's what they're doing. The Constitution doesn't say the trial has to be done before he leaves office. Otherwise, a President could abuse his office in any way he chooses in the last few weeks of his Presidency. You argumen...

Re: US SOCCER
Did you personally know some of those guys from that '92 team? Your propensity to prop up an admittedly scrappy but relatively underwhelming US side lacks any real logic other than trying to protect a friend or family member. JJ's right, the US is in a position they've never been in so far - they'r...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength
The Supreme Court has developed a body of law concerning when a fundamental right may by infringed by the government. The state may infringe on a fundamental right when it demonstrates (i) that there is a compelling governmental interest in curtailing that right; and (ii) that the state's infringem...

Anyone remember when US soccer was a thing? The team that the US will send to Qatar in 2022 will be the most talented side ever to represent the US in international competition. It is going to be stacked with young talent. By 2026, that talent will be mature and ready to give a tough match to any s...

2). Can the rights of the individual diminish or eliminate the rights of the many? [/quote] Yes.
