I think the situation might really be fine for her, provided nobody trumps up a false charge against her, and that she doesn't get burned to death in a lynching.

I have a friend who just retired to Mexico... (Nurse Practitioner)... and bought a home which she is turning into a B&B. It costs $6 to get her dog groomed and she recently had a knee replaced in a really first class hospital with superior nursing care for $2500 (surgery and three days in the hospital). Makes one think!

Well, if that kind of thing happens in Mexico, no wonder that people want to leave.

That's how it is done. Thank you, O Glorious Chairman Mao, for this little red book to stand in formation and memorize as a loyal worker in th People's Party Of China. Yep, Comrade Me Dino would rarely hate to fail a pop quiz. Ouch!

In the chaos, the tribes will look to the sky for guidance, only to find a collective authority bearing whips, chains and yokes.

To the point of~Help us! Help us!
Such chaos! Such bedlam! Oh, I can't take it anymore!
Bring on elite fearless leaders to lead us out of the madness!
Someone tell us what to think! Someone tell us what to do!
Oh, please! Think of the children!
Help! HELP!

Just one of the goals of the deconstructionism.

What American lynch mobs used to be like. Are they being nudged into coming back?

I agree completely; Feinstein has already blazed that particular trail a year ago during Barrett's confirmation hearing. It's just fun to fantasize about something a bit "juicier" just to see which way the left would go: against the (conservative) female, or against the male. Believe the accuser, or believe the female.

Barrett will be attacked because she's a sincere practicing Catholic who can't be trusted to uphold the most severe interpretation of Roe vs Wade. That will be the Democrat strategy: call her a liar and take every possible statement or judgment she's ever made out of context to prove it. The media will dutifully ape the Democrat line, and be dramatically appalled at what a horrible fate awaits American women if this religious nutcase is a replacement for Ginsberg.

:-D

In some of my rare leisure time, I created an interesting scenario, and I can't wait to see what the left does in the event it unfolds in real life like it plays out in my head.

Justice Ginsburg (for whatever reason) is no longer on the Supreme Court. President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett for the open seat.

Then just before a vote is taken, some guy comes along and accuses her and a couple of her classmates of some sexual misdeed, maybe forcing him to drop his pants and masturbate while they watched.

If the left holds consistent with one position (burden of proof is on the conservative), then they must publicly believe the guy and the onus of proving herself innocent would be on Judge Barrett.

If they're consistent on a second position, then they have to publicly believe the guy as they would use him to the hilt to prevent President Trump from appointing a 3rd Justice to the Supreme Court.

But yet another lefty position means they have to publicly believe Judge Barrett simply because Barrett is female, since that seems to be one of their judgment criteria: Woman speaks = truth, man speaks = lie.

As it unfolds in my head, all I can see is the left running around like Keystone Kops.

The French Revolution seems just around the corner for North America; a bit of history that is no longer being taught, along with the founding of the Republic of the United States of America.

This is tragic. Maybe the mob organizer should similarly be set on fire while people harangue him.

A=A still the guiding principle

Good summary. Many are trying to deconstruct the traditional justice system because it is imperfect. Similar to the damaged NOMAD, from Star Trek that would sterilize all it computed to be imperfect.

It took reason and logic to defeat NOMAD from destroying earth but those will not defeat the spread of social justice.

The implied premise of the converse is that the justice system alone does not guarantee justice without the addition of social pressure because the justice system disfavors the less fortunate.

The obvious flaw is that the justice system is one based on induction. The more terrible flaw is the argument that the justice system is broken because it is imperfect. Therefore one is justified in vigilantism as it is the only means to achieve justice.

The "conclusion" relies on justification, which is a product of justice, in order to guarantee justice. This argument is circular and therefore not a conclusion at all. In fact, it succumbs to the same flaw its proponents would ascribe to traditional, courtroom justice i.e. the justice system because vigilantism i.e. social justice also relies on the induction principle.

What a terrible waste of life.

Oh, right on, Solver. It did! The sky is falling, the sky is falling.

Sorry to hear about the back. Have you read Atlas Shrugged? The article above reads like somes scenes out of Atlas Shrugged before the two trains entered the Taggard tunnel.

Well you made me laugh and that's hard to do today. I seriously sabotaged my back riding on my John Deere lawnmower. I mowed my yard all in one sitting (a full city block). Stupid, stupid, stupid. Shot in back being scheduled by doctors!

It was not supposed to be funny, but you just can’t stop crazy multiplied again and again by social media.

Okay, you did it! I laughed out loud!
