Conservative Supreme Court Justice transcript lied, then corrected itself.

JustOneWay said:

I see. A conservative Justice may have just misspoken, but those liberal Justices lie. Why do we have such ignorant Justices who do not think before they speak?

Why do we have ignorant people who jump to conclusions?

So you're saying that Gorsuch was not simpnly mistaken but rather ignorant and jumped to a conclusion?

You may not recognize sarcasm when you see it.

Personally I find the corrected quote even more disturbing. It seems to show an inane amout of whataboutism and Gorsuch trying to say the government should not be allowed to take measures to prevent the spread of covid-19 unless they previously took similar measures for a disease that is over an order of magnitude less deadly. When a disease rises to the level of being dangeroius enough to require government actions is niot the job of the court. The death toll from the flu is canniot be relevent unless it excedes that of covid-129 and thankfully it is not even close to that bar.

Your question. You tell us. I never said anything about jumping to conclusions.

No I did not say that but it appears that you are trying to say it without taking any responsibility for saying it.

The best thing about sarcasm is that it can be used to make a totally fictitious statement and then claim "it was sarcasm" in an attempt to avoid any responsibility for making that statement.

JustOneWay said:

I ask a question which in not a question, but a general statement (sarcasm if you wish)

You ask me a question totally unrelated to the topic.

I told you I never said what you asked. I have no idea what you're getting at, and I will not help you forward whatever attack you have planned for whoever.

You ask another question.

Their names are irrelevant, and so is this ridiculous tangent.

OK so you claim that there ignorant justices but you cannot name any. fine end of discussion

I didn't say you said it and I didn't say anything, I asked you a question. Gorsuch is the one who made a false statement, and since that's the topic of the thread it appears that you're talking about him when you ask why people are ignorant and jumped to conclusions.

If that's not true, who were you talking about being ignorant and jumping to conclusions?

I'm asking (and asked the first time) because I ask rather than jump to conclusions.

The OP copied the form of an almost identical charge against a more liberal Supreme Court judge. That fact has been mentioned multiple times in the thread. Parody is a form of sarcasm.

So what is this group of "ignorant people" you're painting with a broad brush (which you supposedly never do)??? Do tell... Who are these people? What do "they" do in addition to jumping to conclusions? What is this group's other behavior?

Is it any wonder that there aren't many conservative comedians?

What you did is known as declarative question. Gorsuch did not make a false statement, he was making a general statement based on his recollection of something. I did not make a statement about Gorsuch. I made a general statement.

Really? By context he was clearly talking about deaths in America. Show one recent year with hundreds of thousands of flu deaths in it.

He did make a false statement. That is why it's possible or likely that he lied, which is the topic of this thread. His false statement is at the core of this thread.

In this thread, which is focused on Gorsuch's false statement, you asked: "Why do we have ignorant people who jump to conclusions?" Your question isn't in response to another particular post. The context of it is that it is being asked in response to the thread in general, which is based on the OP. So it stands to reason that you are referring to the subject of the thread: Gorsuch.

Despite grammatically being correct to assume you were referring to Gorsuch, I didn't; I instead asked you. And indignantly you have twice not provided a straight answer and instead accused me of making statements, which is false.

So what group (because you said people, plural) were you referring to? Who is in that group besides Gorsuch, or instead of Gorsuch?

Why are you so evasive about clarifying your question, especially considering how defensive you are when I follow the logic to ask if it is about Gorsuch and those like him?

I thought you didn't group people together and paint them with a broad brush stroke? OK, I'm not being honest there - I knew you did group people together and paint them with a broad brush stroke and I gave examples in another thread, but this thread you give a perfect example of how you do that with no problem despite claiming that you "never" do that. LOL, the hypocrisy is delectable.

this was explained back in post #2, you are attempting to create an issue where no issue exists or even should exist.

So quoting a number off of the top of your head, by memory, and qualifying it with, "I believe," is a lie?
