Then this will be a never ending/revolving door. Republicans(Trump included) spent 8 years attacking Obama from things like the color of his suit to insulting his family calling them apes to hanging effigies of him.
So Liberals were meant to forget all that because Trump is a Reagan wannabe??
You guys are hilarious.

Funny thing is Liberals will indeed forget or not bother with their maga nonsense especially considering the amount of work needed to clean up the last 4 maga years. Even you yourself will forget about them and not spend anytime considering their rubbish conspiracies and will remind me I told you so when the time comes.

Jury relies on expert witness to determine guilt or innocence in cases like murder.

We have educated you many times that juries rely on evidence and not on expert witness but I guess you'd continue to believe your own crap despite all the evidence that you yourself witness.

Then they should bring their case with cogently strong evidence

SCOTUS intervened with respect to Pennsylvania law amendment 4-4 , Ginsburg died

Originalist dominates SCOTUS

And these is a federal Lawsuit States against States

Personally, I can't wait for Originalists to take over, for at least they'd have to do the following a lot more:

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
Article I. Section 8.

Now you have by Inference Directly Insulted me without just cause (Specifically, I and Muttl.eylaff, the object of kkins25's Comments) by "calling me unintelligent fool" whereas I have never insulted you.

I am not certain if this is coming from your thread where you thought I insulted so therefore, you have taken your bit as a matter of being Vengeful, even though I explained the reason for my adverse statement which you appeared to have understood.

Well, I'll Live!

I did not intend to insult you, though I can't say the same about the company you got lumped with.

You'd note by my conversation here that I have not yet determined that any vengeance needs to be taken against you as you have in no way insulted me as is indeed clear, and if that changes, my hope is I remember "vengeance is mine", saith the Lord, though I'm very likely to forget and will appreciate you reminding me if I do err. (That does not apply to you, company, however, if you just happen to be reading this!)

Dtruthspeaker, please kindly accept my most sincerest apologies.

PDPGuy:
I’ve come to a realization: the reason why most Republican members of Congress are supporting Trump’s stubbornness is that Trump currently has a 89% favorability rating amongst Republicans.

They’re deeply scared of being abandoned by Trump voters or being primaried by a Trumpian candidate in 2022.

Once this dust settles, most of these Republicans would turn to chameleons to later claim that their support of these frivolous lawsuits was done in the name of “ensuring that the voting systems in the country are fool-proof”. They will make this pivot in order to deceive gullible independents to think that they (Trumpian Republicans) are rational people.

Thankfully, there will be a tweet to show their true colour, for as the great Prophet Bob once sang,

Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in!

Once Trump pardons himself, there's nothing President Biden can do but Trump will meet his nemesis from Ms Letitia James the Attorney General of New York. That's the one Trump and his family are really scared of.

Trump pardoning himself is actually damage enough to be honest, since he would at the same time be showing he is guilty as hell. The reputational damage would be immense and worldwide that his legal business will suffer. Besides, a pardon is not for crimes committed in the future and we all know trump can't resist pussy grabbing.

And by the way, and yes in my wildest dreams, Biden should appoint William Barr to the DOJ. He's the only one going after the turd who would not seem political, and he'll have to do his job right this time if for no other reason but to redeem himself. But like I said, in my ........

I doubt you know that the Egyptians believed the gods had built the pyramids and written hieroglyphs. But of course, not every Egyptian would have been able to read. Anyway, cite your source.

Deeply rooted in these concerns is the fact that some states appear to have conducted their elections with a disregard to the U.S. Constitution.

Did you miss this bit basilivo?

The power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state.

Now see the lie that follows immediately after it, but note the word "attempted", which implies they did not succeed:

In states like Pennsylvania, the judicial branch attempted to seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules.

Do you understand it means the Judiciary branch attempted to set the rules by which Pennsylvania held its federal elections but failed to set the rules and the legislature that was meant to set the rules did set the rules which this motion is now trying to claim is unconstitutional because the legislature set the rules that the Judiciary branch failed in their attempt to set, lol.

Or, perhaps you might want to show us where the Constitution states how individual states shall conduct their elections please, which if it exists and is upheld by the Judiciary branch, be it state judiciary or Scotus, would mean the judiciary sets the rules, albeit according to the constitution, which would mean the legislature would not be setting the rules contrary to the intent of this motion which is to ensure the legislature sets the rules that they already set and that the judiciary branch failed in their attempt to set.

One must laugh at how you and your magalots twist yourselves up in your knickers.

FatherOfJesus:
The logic of theist is nothing can exist without a creator. Going by this logic, who then created God?

Op, do forgive me for jumping into your thread without first addressing the question you pose. I wouldn't normally address such topics because, as you might have seen, they end where they end which tends to be nowhere at all, though knowledge and the seeds of thought are forever sown in the minds of those who bother to engage with such subjects. The pity is how few such as you who use their minds there are.

You say "the logic of theists", so I'll start by saying "some theists", and suggest the text that makes some come to such a conclussion is the following.

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

A critical look would make one wonder as you've done, to my delight I dare say, so lets shall we, first however, let me categorically state that the text is a creation myth and just one of very many, and not original at that, but to it alone shall I refer on the assumption that 'Bible reader' is what you mean by "theists".

From the text we can deduce two things, first, that there was a beginning when God is written to have created the heavens and the earth. And second, that it was formless and void, as in, it had nothing in or on it. Oh, and perhaps a third which would be that God is a lousy creator, since the earth was void and formless, but I'll admit that would be mere speculation on my part since void and formless does not necessarily mean lousy just as the bottle I create for the wine I intend to create would not be lousy just because I have not filled it with wine yet, but I hope you get the humour. One thing for certain is the text is not in the first person, as in God did not write it, because if God had written it it would likely go something like "In the beginning, I, God created the heaven and the earth", which is not the form the text is in, and which would make one ask, who the heck was there recording what God was doing at the time. An angel, perhaps? But would that not mean there were more, erm, things, or shall I say godlike things even before the beginning? The Bible reader might say, but of course, especially since there is text reporting things that happened long before the beginning we read of in the beginning, no pun nor error intended, but there we go circular I guess, right back to where you began asking what created all those God things including God, angels, where they dwelt, etc. and there, will I suggest, is the beauty of the text.

You see, it has made you question as it rightly should, and made an unbeliever of you as opposed to those you call theist who think they know it all though they merely believe the crap they pretty much do not understand, and don't you just love using the brain in your head and your mind just like Adam and Eve were written in the myth to have done, refusing not to test if they'd really die if they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and mythologically thereby becoming the very first humans to use their own senses and becoming the first scientists in the process of their enquiry as opposed to merely believing they will surely die.

P.s. This is a recurring topic which I used to be rather fund of until I got bored of it, or rather, came to the conclusion that speculate is all we can do, but you'd find some of my previouses here.

Thanks op, for making those who would, use their minds and think. Please continue seeking and never ever become a believer, because as admirable as it may sound, emulating beings described as demons is so not admirable, as is written.

That doens't mean that Egyptian philosophy didn't influence the Greeks. If they were there since about 7th century B.C., it follows that they were influence by Egyptian philosophy

Same way the philosophy of the area known as Nigeria today influenced the european education you got since the people now known as Nigerians were there when Europeans arrived on your shores to teach it to you, right?

You will need to forgive me for thinking you could reason. Go back through our discussion and find where we agreed syncretisation occured. Unfortunately, however, Egyptian Philosophy was pretty much dead by the time the Greeks arrived. The Egyptians believed the gods had built the pyramids and written hieroglyphs they themselves could not read, but I doubt you'd know this.

If he went to school in Egypt, maybe he imbibed Egyptian philosophy instead of Greek philosophy. Besides, you don't know enough about this dude's life to make assertions about his possible sojourn in Egypt. And the Egyptians came before your favored Greeks, so if anyone influenced the other, it would be the Egyptians with their ancient civilization who influenced the Greeks.

You'd say one does not know only because you don't know. Do some research and you too will know.

You do know that the education you got was brought to you from Europe when they landed on your shores right?

By the time Jesus was born and went to Egypt, Egypt had been ruled by the Greeks from when Alexander the Great conquered it circa 323, and the Greeks had been there since about the 7th century BC.

What education did religion spread to where I am? What scientific, technological, or other beneficial invention or creation has come from religion?

The education that makes you value the written word, for starts. And the ability to learn to use your senses instead of creating crap inside yiur head and believing it.

Martian:
Good things are sometimes done in service of religious beliefs but what valuable knowledge has been gained by mankind that could not have been gained without religion?

This, I'm not even going to bother answering because just a little bit of study instead of thinking you already know it all is enough for you to educate yourself. Hint though. The 5 day school education you got evolved from one day God worship.
