Looking at the two females at the top of the heap, I think Barrett is the better choice. An intellectual superstar with deep knowledge of the law. She's been in rare air for a long time.

Plus, she's hot. (That's a minority group on SCOTUS right there!)

Comparing resume's with Lagoa....not even close. Plus Lagoa was involved in the Elian Gonzales mess.

You act as if Barrett is lightyears ahead of Lagoa. I think they are on par, with differences of experience.

False. We voted one into office.

Yeah, someone did, but he is gone now being replaced by Trump!

“We”? You voted for Trump? I voted for Trump. I don like him. But I did vote for him.

No. "We"- Americans. I'm one of those few that will take blame and credit, for our collective decisions as a country.

I might use “we” collectively. But I would not actually accept collective blame or credit for something I did not actually participate in.

Did "we" beat the Germans and Japanese during WW2?

Its not bragging if one can do it...

I didn’t. I wasn’t even living back then. My country did. I’ve never scored a NFL touchdown either but a lot of “we’s” have.

To me collective or generational guilt is only relevant when an individual chooses to continue in the path. If I continue robbing and murdering because that is what my family or nation has done previously, I would argue it is entirely fair to enact justice for the entire on that individual since he has given hearty agreement to the actions of the past. Likewise for a positive, to use the idea of whether "we" won WWII. I was born 'round the fall of the Berlin Wall so I certainly had no part in World War anything, but if I continue to act on the ideals of freedom and the destruction of tyranny I have no issue being identified as a continuation of that act rolling forward through time, as it were.

I'm not sure I'd say we beat the Germans, we went into the war with that being a foregone conclusion.

As for the Japanese, yeah we went well beyond just beating them, lol.

This "we" stuff is pretty lame.

This happens huge in sports. The Colts are "our" team that "we" support. How many players are born and bread Hoosiers? How many were raised here? How many have their permanent homes here?

Yet, for some silly reason the Colts are "our" team that "we" support... why?

Same goes for EVERY team of every sport across the world.

Not hypocrisy exactly, but something close.

Doug

In that sense I agree. I am a proud citizen of my country. I can’t take credit for its victories over tyranny where I took no part, but I can feel proud when I support the causes, as part of the “we”, in that it was my country’s achievement. How that would look from the other side of things, I can be ashamed of the “we” when my country has done wrong, without accepting guilt or blame for something that I did not participate in, support, or condone.

How's that old saying go?

"Who's this "we"? You got a mouse in your pocket?"
