DAVID BARBER

The area is mourning the passing of David Barber a local political activist, Social Security Administration employee and officer of the local chapter of the NAACP.
His death was sudden (I saw him at a meeting the previous Friday) but his legacy as a community leader will live on in his spirit.
He was 43.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN 

WELCOME TO 4 DECADES OF THIS JUDICIAL TEMPERAMENT

STANLEY MATTHEWS

Stanley Matthews’ name came up this week because until Brett Kavanugh was confirmed by the slimmest of margins, 50-48, Matthews held that distinction of being confirmed by one vote 23-22. A Civil war veteran, Matthews ran for the United States House of Representatives in 1876, but was defeated. A year later, he won a special election to the Senate to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of John Sherman. Back then there was no direct election of US Senators. He did not seek reelection.
On January 26, 1881, President Rutherford B. Hayes nominated Matthews for a position as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Members of the Senate characterized the appointment as an example of presidential cronyism since Hayes and Matthews had been classmates at Kenyon College and both had practiced law in Cincinnati and served as officers in the state infantry. With the nomination facing political opposition, and as the nomination came near the end of Hayes's term, the Senate did not act on it. Upon succeeding Hayes, incoming President James A. Garfield renominated Matthews in March 1881, and the Senate confirmed him by a vote of 24 to 23, the narrowest confirmation for a successful U.S. Supreme Court nominee in history. He served on the Court until his death in 1889.
There was no report of a tantrum anytime while he was waiting to be confirmed.

LOU  GRASPING AT STRAWS AT STRAWS

Lou Barletta, candidate for Senate has now followed in the footsteps of his mentor, Diaper Don. Not content that Brett Kavanaugh was named a Supreme court Justice, Barletta  embellishes in a press release that coward and political opportunist Susan Collins rebuked Casey when she gave her sorry ass excuse of a speech in supporting Kavanaugh. Here’s this classic from Lou’s campaign:
“A number of Senators joined the race to announce their opposition, but they were beaten to the punch by one of our colleagues who actually announced opposition before the nominee’s identity was even known.” (Senator Collins Senate Floor speech 10/5/2018, 3:09 p.m.)

DOES ANYONE SEE CASEY'S NAME ANYWHERE IN THERE? LMAO @ THIS!
