What kind of monster are you? Do you also prefer beardless Riker? Geordie at Conn? Jellico?

Surely his supporters (heh) will view this the same way they felt about Clinton asking about definitions during his trial, right?

"Right answer, wrong reason" is pretty plain there, but whatever

That's an oversimplification to the point of inaccuracy, but the intent is there.

Plenty of things are relevant to you at both ages, especially legally speaking. Illegal search and seizure, for example. The way laws get passed and interact with the Constitution. These are things the Supreme Court has direct influence over.

However, four of the sitting justices were born in the 1930s. Only two in the 1970s with the youngest being born in '72.

I get that it's a top tier position with a whole lot of sway over things so you want to make sure someone has their shit in order before they're there but someone in their 90s is very unlikely to understand the things affecting those in their 20s, 30s, even 40s today the way someone clearing 7 figures doesn't understand the troubles of poverty.

I've said it before, I'll say it again; if there's a minimum age there should be a maximum age.

I've said before that anyone who had an issue with Seven being added to sexy up Star Trek should take another look at the Yeoman uniforms in TOS or Deanna in a lot of TNG.

Rutherford makes constant posts about everything from his implant.

Tendi comments on all of them and everyone else's.

Brad thinks of all kinds of posts and comments but doesn't send any of them.

Don't be a Boimler

There is as much right to be an asshole as there is to not put up with assholes

Yeah, Martin learned the "cribbed from history" trick from Tolkien
