Yeah, I don't see how with the information out there anyone would justify voting for him as unqualified.

That's coming from someone who sees originalism as equivalent to devoting your intellectual capabilities to discerning how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. And who sees his strange fascination with arguments against euthanasia while avoiding questions of capital punishment and war as either odd or morally exculpatory. And his support of two of the most bizarre and historically and legally unsupported decisions in history, Hobby Lobby and Citizens United, as dumbfounding from someone of his apparent legal and intellectual qualities.

But in terms of his being qualified for the Supreme Court, based on testimony so far, he really should be be voted in virtually unanimously.

Starting the day after Easter, the state is scheduled to execute eight men in 11 days, and people in Gould and across Arkansas are wondering how so many executions will affect prison staffers and color perceptions of this Bible Belt state. Two men will die each day on April 17, 20, 24 and 27.

No state has executed this many people in such a short span since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976. The closest was Texas, which executed eight men in both May and June of 1997, according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment.

he thinks it was a test, like she wouldn't have possibly known Flint was going to be asked about in a democratic primary debate and thus she got 'the answers' ahead of time.

The Trump White House’s application added a field that didn’t exist when President Barack Obama adopted the program: social media details.

Josh Hall, an incoming freshman at Harrisburg Area Community College, hoped the White House would notice that his tweets condemning the press mimic the president’s own style. “I started my Twitter as a political account six months ago. I have like 12,000 subscribers,” he said.

“I’d maybe be able to shed a lot of light on the bias that happens within the media,” Hall added. “I try and do that a lot of the time with my Twitter.”

One of Hall’s recent tweets: “The fact of the matter is #Manafort's Russian ties from YEARS AGO had no influence on the campaign or the election. This is FAKE NEWS!”

A fan of alt-right media darling Milo Yiannopoulos, Hall said he likes Trump because “he sounds like your average American.”

“He can be offensive at times,” Hall said. “There are things he says that I think go too far. But your average Americans do say kind of offensive things.”
