So, the Republicans, who are predominantly 'religious' (no offense to those of you who are ACTUALLY religious and not just faking it) and want to control the Supreme Court are proving - yet again - why they have no business dictating public policy and running the Government. They also definitely have no reason to block Obama's Supreme Court nominees from the Democratic side, since they are setting perpetually poor examples on their own side. All one needs to do is take a look at their front-runner candidate for President, Donald Trump, to know that but, just in case it wasn't enough, I've shared some more very recent news as further reason why they should just hang up their political hats and move to some other country where they can be all 'authoritarian, corrupt and tell people what to do - like...North Korea. It kind of makes me feel bad for people who still believe in the Republican Party...in spite of their continual failure. Looks like things aren't going to go very well for the Republicans again, this year. Here's why: "A second Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice resigned Tuesday in a widening scandal over raunchy and otherwise offensive emails that he and others exchanged with friends and lawyers. Justice Michael Eakin's decision marks the latest fallout since embattled state Attorney General Kathleen Kane began releasing hundreds of emails in 2014 to the media and ethics agencies. Kane has since been indicted on perjury and other charges that she claims were trumped up because she took on the old boys' club of Pennsylvania law enforcement. Eakin, 67, has been on the state Supreme Court since 2002. He's a Republican and former district attorney in Cumberland County, which includes Harrisburg's western suburbs. During tearful testimony in December before a three-judge panel of the court, Eakin apologized for what he said he "allowed to happen," blaming news accounts for sensationalism and arguing his job performance hadn't been affected. "Perhaps my demeanor is one of the boys," Eakin said on the stand. "But what I sent was to people who were also one of the boys. It was in the locker room. I allowed, I created something that could be released. Shame on me and it won't happen again." (The days of the 'Good ol' Boys are over...You damned right it won't!) Mainly, because he's been replaced by a FEMALE DEMOCRAT... :) (y)
