Law professor butthurt about liberals' Kavanaugh response questions "second-class intellect" of Sotomayor, deletes his Twitter

Quote:
“I’m old enough to remember when a second-class intellect like Sotomayor got onto the Court because her Latinaness gave us insight into her soul,” Henderson said, later apologizing for the impression his words left.
Quote:
“My point was merely that she nominated based more on her backstory than on the quality of her judicial opinions,” Henderson wrote in an email. “This means to me that Judge Kavanaugh’s backstory, although very different, might be relevant, too. If how people experience life or act outside of the written page is relevant, then it should not just be ethnicity and race, but other things as well.”
Chaser:

Quote:
Users noted both Henderson and Sotomayor attended Princeton University, though she graduated with higher honors.
But yeah, sure, this is totally just a double standard liberals have. "Sotomayor has a lived insight into the ways that laws and public policy affect minorities in this country, and Kavanaugh has a lived insight into the great friendships you can make in elite carpool circles. IT'S THE SAME THING!"

Speaking of the "second-class intellect" of Sotomayor, here she is expressing in a pointed dissent the obviously dumb notion that executing people via drugs that inflict torturous pain is maybe not great (Tennessee did it anyway)

Quote:
“Although the Midazolam may temporarily render Irick unconscious, the onset of pain and suffocation will rouse him. And it may do so just as the paralysis sets in, too late for him to alert bystanders that his execution has gone horribly (if predictably) wrong,” wrote Sotomayor. The dissent echoes comments she made last year aimed at Midazolam in a case involving an Alabama inmate.

“In refusing to grant Irick a stay, the Court today turns a blind eye to a proven likelihood that the State of Tennessee is on the verge of inflicting several minutes of torturous pain on an inmate in its custody,” Sotomayor wrote. “ . . . If the law permits this execution to go forward in spite of the horrific final minutes that Irick may well experience, then we have stopped being a civilized nation and accepted barbarism.

Though controversial, the use of Midazolam has come before courts numerous times — and been used in multiple executions, some of them highly criticized.

In perhaps the most high-profile case, an inmate in Oklahoma grimaced and kicked during his 2014 lethal injection involving the drug. Authorities called off the execution, but he died not long after. A state investigation later blamed problems with the IV insertion. That same year, an Arizona execution using the sedative lasted for nearly two hours. Another execution that year in Ohio saw the inmate writhe and gasp for air and, in 2016, witnesses to an execution in Alabama said the inmate there coughed and heaved.
Bonus: Tennessee executed a guy who, under pending legislation, they might not be able to execute anymore due to his mental illness!

Quote:
A second concern in Irick’s case, according to Robert Durham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, was that he was mentally ill. Tennessee has pending legislation that, if passed, would make it illegal to apply the death penalty to a person with serious mental illness.

“It’s unseemly that Irick would be executed and then the case ultimately gets resolved in his favor,” said Durham.

In any case, find me a case of someone who did time for a false rape accusation in the USA, and it will be the first one I've heard of. I'll admit, I haven't really looked very hard, so you may be able to surprise me here and find a handful.
Like, I just want to marvel at this guy. She didn't ****ing accuse Till of rape, and Melkerson is personally not a big fan of no uppity colored boys, but he saw some dang race traitors talking about a ***** who be lying and saw a chance to plant a flag and forge common cause. ****ing hell.

Did you look hard enough to read the ****ing Wikipedia article on False Accusations of Rape?

Quote:
Over a five-year period ending in 2014, a total of 109 women were prosecuted for crimes related to making false accusations of rape.[52] The report did not indicate the verdicts following prosecution. Another report identified 121 charging decisions involving allegations of false accusations of rape and an additional 11 false allegations of both domestic violence and rape between January 2011 and May 2012 and found of these cases, 35 were prosecuted based upon false accusations of rape. A further 3 were prosecuted based upon charges of false accusations of both rape and domestic abuse. The report did not indicate the verdicts following prosecution.[53]
Never ****ing forget, Melky, that you're you and that **** is forever! You don't ever get to talk back. For ****'s sake.

The “future of the Democratic Party” is apparently “too scared” to debate a troll. Decides to chalk it up to Shapiro being sexist.

Ah yes breaking the long precedent of candidates for elected office debating random ****ing dudes is a death knell for AOC.

I mean, y'all really want to set that precedent? You vote for ****ing snake handlers and people who think they can see Russia from their house. If the standard becomes pundits get to demand opportunities to embarrass candidates with policy knowledge I got ten ****ing grand with Donald J Trump's name written on it.

I understand your sentiment, but your paraphrase is inaccurate. She said one of his top choices, which almost certainly indicates it wasn't his "top choice"

Lol. She had the option to say no. Or simply ignore him. She’s under no obligation to debate him. Her response however, was pathetic.

this has already been talked about, but it was an appropriate response, and if shapiro wants to pretend he's important he should run for office, or actually do anything of any importance what so ever rather than sit in a room and tell himself he's smart.

it was a totally fine response, although i wish she had been harsher.
08-10-2018 , 07:44 PM
Considering nothing Shapiro did was remotely sexist, no, it wasn’t an appropriate response. When in doubt, make it about gender...

Never ****ing forget, Melky, that you're you and that **** is forever! You don't ever get to talk back. For ****'s sake.
I don't even know what this garbage is supposed to mean. I'd ask you to be clearer, but I'm not sure that's within your capabilities.

1. I don't even know what you think my position on the whole Till thing is. That dude was horribly wronged and the woman who accused him is a terrible human being.

2. If you want to go back and read it, the post I was responding to talked about an accusation of rape. That's what I responded to. I realize that there was no rape accusation in this particular case. I guess I should have corrected Trolly (and I almost did, but I glossed over it because I didn't have time to re-read the details of the case and make sure there wasn't a rape accusation in there somewhere that I missed). My bad. Or maybe you should have corrected him.

3. You should read your own wikipedia excerpt. I asked specifically for cases where the false accuser served time. In case decoding that is hard for you, I meant "spent time in prison". Then you refute that with a wikipedia paragraph that talks about prosecutions and says "The report did not indicate the verdicts following prosecution". Just go back and reread your own ****ing post.

If you want to dig up some examples of that, be my guest. I've already admitted, that I haven't looked. I guess I'm a ****ty person for that. Sorry.

Look fly, I don't know what the **** your problem is. I'm almost certain that our positions are identical with regard to Till. I realize that you're not that bright and you like to yell at people in your liberal Hannity style, but if you just took a breath and read things a little more carefully, it would be a massive improvement.

considering what he did has the practically the same elements of catcalling, yes it was an appropriate response. she likened it to being catcalled, and for someone as wannabe intellectual has ben shapiro he should understand that that use of language in her response isn't calling him sexist.

It's so incredible that these logic and reason debate team all stars are breaking down in tears at Ben getting called sexist because they literally do not understand how analogies work.

Ben Shapiro is such a master at debate he is a never trump conservative with 100% of his fans being trump supporters.

His *only* move is gish gallop. It's so boring. In the other thread someone brought up all the good criticisms lately of Peterson. That's because Peterson actually says stuff. Ben is just pedantic and boring. I dont know what shape your life is in if you waste time with either.

After 4 years of only posting in one thread about one topic, this is the thing that finally gets gs3737 to break containment and cape up.

You pretty clearly weren't aware of the facts of the case as you seemed to think she accused Till of rape. She did not.

No you should've just kept your ****ing mouth shut instead of chiming into with your MRA chain email bull****.

Not gonna do that for free, so let's bet. I'll lay you 2:1, my $200 to your $100, that I can find an example of someone who spent time in jail following a false rape claim.

You ran your ****ing mouth.

Yes? You literally invented, with no evidence, against intuition and common sense, an extraordinary claim that the feminazi justice system is protecting lying bitches.

It's an extraordinary harmful myth to spread and you still think it's true!

$200. Yours for the ****ing taking. You read those chain emails, boy, you had faith enough in them to run your mouth, now take my money.

Like I don't doubt you think Till was an injustice, but the difference is I see him as a victim of white supremacy while you see him as a victim of misandry. That's a distinction that can't just be papered over. **** off. But take my bet first.

Please explain how what he did has the same elements as catcalling.

This I simply have to hear.

was the challenge warranted? -no, he's a nobody trying to ride her to some form of legitimacy

was the challenge requested? -no, to my knowledge AOC isn't out requesting challengers to be debated

was there an obvious subtext that he thought he deserved an answer or an acceptance? -clearly he's made that obvious from his statements since about her being scared.

is he reacting like an incel that got shot down by a woman? yes. as are you when your hero got called out.

catcalling-
is the comment warranted? no
was the comment requested? no
is there an obvious subtext that the caller deserves a response from the callee?- yes
is there a bad reaction from being shut down/ignored/corrected? yes.
