Great Point About Gender/Racial "Balance" on the Supreme Court

Powerline, responding to a Milwaulkee Journal Sentinel editorial.

The MJS:

In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.

Powerline responds:

...the liberals at the Journal Sentinel apparently think that Supreme Court justices are like House members who represent constituencies, and are supposed to vote according to the wishes of those they represent. That's a stupid idea, obviously. But stay with it for a moment. If that is their theory, then why do the same liberals consistently praise Supreme Court decisions that frustrate the wishes of most Americans?

And Brainster's Blog wants to know if David Souter should have an asterisk next to his name, since he does not, apparently, reflect the views of most white Americans.

There's a word for this sort of thinking. That word is racism. Or at least a notion of racial-solidarity and, implictly, disdain for those outside the race that approaches racism.

Really, if liberals want to continue the good work they did in the sixties overcoming racism, they cannot also dabble in "good racism" when they find it politically expedient to do so. White people might start to get the impression that if lockstep "What's good for my race?" thinking is okay for everyone else, maybe they should start joining in the fun again.

Naked Testicle Spiderman ain't too happy about it either. At least I assume he's not happy about it. He uses the words "apotheosis" and "ontological," which tells me he's so angry he's been reduced to using made-up, hobo-gibberish pretend-words that just pop into his head. But I dig on that kind of lunatic senselessness.

Thomas “deserves an asterisk” because he doesn’t “think” black—black thinking having now been reduced to a single ontological class that is presumably recognizable by how well it tacks with the positions of black leaders and progressive politicos who, in a perverse cycle, define the very “black” interests that mark one as authentically black.

Wasn't it the mayor of Vienna (forget his name; the mayor in the 1930's, as Naziism rose in power) who said, "I decide who the Jews are?"

Yup, that is a great point.

Why didn't *I* think of that?

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 2, 2005 12:47 PM

Oh. Wait, never mind. Your post works now.

Whew.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on November 2, 2005 12:49 PM

Excuse me, Ace, but how do you know what Goldstein's naked painted testicles look like?

And if Jeff's resemble Spidyman, which cartoon character do your naked painted testicles resemble, Ace? Come on – cough up.

And last but not least, pictures, please. :)

Yeah, what's the deal with the whole "Naked Testicle Spiderman" thing? Did I miss a memo?

I thought Herman Goring said that.

Sean, it's in this great post, which is great not because of Spidey's testicles, but because of Bbeck's wonderful, magical rack.

We all love Bbeck here. Some of us just more than others, especially after you get a few mojitos in the frisky redhead.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

yeah yeah, Bbeck. What about the chick in the peace through hot chicks in Tshirts with bombers girl in the blogad?

It's the newest cool meme on Ace's site. Kind of like "the guys get shirts", only with a naked paunchy guy who painted his body to look like Spiderman. In a fit of exquisite cruelty, Ace posted this filth along with the luminous bbeck modeling Ace's (now sadly defunct) t-shirt.

I guess it's all part of the AoS cult. Ace giveth, Ace taketh away: all glory be unto Ace.

Posted by: Monty on November 2, 2005 01:22 PM

Nah, I'm pretty sure it was the Mayor of Vienna. And I think he said it in the 1890's, not the 1930's.

I think his first name is Kurt, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking that just because the only Austrian politician I can think of is Kurt Waldheim.

Posted by: ace on November 2, 2005 01:22 PM

Ace, you're thinking of Kurt Lueger. Hitler didn't like his social, cosmopolitan ways, but he did approve of Lueger's anti-semitism. But Goering said it too, in some context that escapes me just now as I sit here, like Captain Queeg, juggling hairy man-balls in my hand and muttering incoherently out of the window at my dirty Malasian whore of a neighborhood watch block mom.

She wouldn't happen to have a sister who is a pirate hooker, would she?

Posted by: on November 2, 2005 01:28 PM

While, we are making the Supreme Court "look like America" why don't we mandate it be 5 to 4 in favor of conservatives since we have won all the recent elections?

Or is that going a little too far? I mean we don't really want it to look like America per se unless by America we mean Paul Krugman, Jesse Jackson and the man-hater Maureen Dowd.

Speaking of racism, I think the cover of Michele Malkin's new book where she prints the nasty email with names and addresses she receives is great. Kick their asses, Malkin!

Indeed.

I determine who is a Jew.

Karl Lueger, mayor of Vienna


I could mock those upper Midwestern Aryans for their general stupidity inthinking they can determine who's "really, really black." But I won't because this naked testicle thing has me puzzled too. A little more info, please--but not too much more, if you know what I'm sayin'.

And Sortelli made fun of me for trying to use my hair rays to keep testicles from becoming any more unruly then they already are, when I was just trying to help. Take that, Sortelli! Bzzzz.

Posted by: on November 2, 2005 01:57 PM

You guys keep pushing, and somebody'll repost the Naked Testicle Spiderman picture. Do you want that? Do you?

Posted by: S. Weasel on November 2, 2005 02:00 PM

No.

Hey, I'm into one-eyed, one legged Romanian Gypsy midgets. She doesn't have one of those by chance??

I don't think Ace wants you dating his sister.

Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044.
Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...?
You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not.
Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh?
Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point.
One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews.
Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments:
I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us.

Now that's some Merenghian prose.
Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft

Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.)
I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
