Allen West named to Texas Guv Sunset Commission

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick recently announced the appointment of Allen West to the state Sunset Commission which oversees appointments, legislation and other state business.
All of the other members are legislators.
West served as a battalion commander in Irag but was relieved of his command for abusing an Iraqi detainee in 1993.
He served one term in Congress representing Florida's 22nd District but was not re-elected. West is seen as a hot head and is very acerbic in his manner.
Even some Texas Republicans questioned this move, thinking a member on the commission should "At least be from Texas!"
Patrick is himself seen by many as helping to keep Austin weird, but not in the original meaning of the phrase!

Trump nearing tipping point?

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a racist asshole!

Court Justice Antonin Scalia is a racist ass hole!

. Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia has long demonstrated that he is a backwards, narrow minded ass hole. Once touted as a "great legal mind' he has never lived up to that billing, instead he has shown he should have gone into movie making where he would make a perfect gangster!

He reminds of Jimmy the Greek Snyder, who lost his lucrative TV gig many years ago by suggesting black players "Lacked the faculties to be successful coaches or quarterbacks." Dodgers GM Al Campanis lost his job as after making similar comments.

Having incompetent and politicized justices on the high court is dangerous for the country and emphasizes the importance of Presidential elections. The damage a bad appointment does lives on long past the term of the ill advised President that appoints such people!

During oral arguments on Wednesday in Fisher v

University of Texas, a contentious affirmative action case, the conservative justice seemed to call their (African American) abilities into question.

"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well," Scalia said, "as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school ... a slower-track school where they do well."

Scalia was engaging former U.S. Solicitor General Gregory Garre, who is now representing the University of Texas at Austin as the school defends its ongoing consideration of race as one of many factors in its admissions program.

Der Furor!
