Er, Look at the previous comments in your little thread. You will see that it is you who brought the 'stupid referendum' into it with your first comment:surbiton said:

I want trade and human movement barriers coming down everywhere. Any country not doing so should have to pay an extra tariff.

I want Britain in Europe because I want Britain to think it is in Europe like, e.g.Turkey.

RIP Judge Scalia.Speedy said:
The debate is just 3 hours away, we will see the impact first hand.TheScreamingEagles said:Antonin Scalia has died. That's going to complicate the primaries.
But who does this favour?
It solidifies each party behind more firmly ideological candidates, and behind its eventual nominee. Bad for Trump in primaries I think, but better for him if he does get the nomination, and it should stop Bloomberg stone cold.
EDIT: I am assuming that, surely, Obama will not be permitted to appoint one of his Communist Islamist nominees by the God-fearing United States Senate.0 -
I don't see how. It's still extremely likely that the next President will replace Ginsburg, Kennedy and Breyer at the least. Replace them with conservatives and - boom.Speedy said:it undercuts the argument that the next president will appoint supreme court replacements since it's too late for that, Obama will get the opportunity now, it ruins Hillary's point too.

You missed my earlier comments - I think he is as unrealistic on the right as are those on the left who are very emotional about their politics and therefore fail to grasp what motivates voters. I expect a defeat for Leave will produce a similar twitter meltdown to that after the election. If the result is the other way I doubt if it would be the same.Richard_Tyndall said:
Not sure if you intended it to sound this way but it does sound like you are claiming Sean is on the Left. This is very much not the case. Until Recently Sean was one of the Tory party's staunchest defenders. It appears to be Cameron's policy on the EU that has driven Sean out, just as it did many more of us.felix said:@Sean F
You never will either - I believe many on the left don't get why people vote Tory - it's a mystery...However, if it makes you feel better we can agree about your comments being 'unexceptional'

Did you forget to take your tablets today?MikeK said:On Thread.
People are beginning to wake up to the hole that Britain is in. Placed there by the elite politicians of all the major parties and their many supporters in Business, Education and the Arts.
They know in their bones that Britain is being run by Corrupt Charlatans and liars, brought about by the chief Charlatan and Liar, "call me Dave" himself.
Only today these so called politicians want to start a war with Russia, egged on by that madman Kerry of the USA, and who is now interfering in our referendum.
The next few weeks could see dirt flying all over the place; but I know who will get the most mud on their faces - the British People, as they see their nation subverted from within.

Hold on but it says they had loads of losses (which they rolled over, which is standard) and they only paid dividends in 2015, so it doesn't sound like they have been profiteering. And personally Osborne has been paid a grand total of £1200 for his massive 1% stake in the company.

Appointing a successor will add spice to the election, and maybe we'll be able to bet on it. Republicans led by Cruz might block Obama's candidate, but that only delays things if Hillary wins the White House. On the other hand, Obama might feel obliged to nominate a more neutral judge to placate Republicans, who then will face a double-or-quits choice based on who they think will win the presidency with the freedom to appoint a more partisan justice.Scott_P said:

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
MILLER v. ALBRIGHT, SECRETARY OF STATE
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
No. 96—1060. Argued November 4, 1997–Decided April 22, 1998
Justice Scalia, with whom Justice Thomas joins, concurring in the judgment.
'...The Constitution “contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702 (1898). Under the Fourteenth Amendment, “[e]very person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization.” Ibid. Petitioner, having been born outside the territory of the United States, is an alien as far as the Constitution is concerned, and “can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress.” Id., at 702—703; see also Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815, 827 (1971)...' [my emphasis]
Hence, the late Justice Scalia, in concurrence with numerous previous judgements of the SCOTUS, explains that people situated as Ted Cruz are naturalized citizens of the US, and are aliens as far as the Constitution is concerned.
Ergo, not a natural born citizen, and therefore ineligible to ascend to the Presidency...0 -
