Experts note that although the Supreme Court justice is not in imminent danger, the presence of two separate malignancies in her lung raises the possibility of metastatic cancer elsewhere.

"ISIS" originated around 1999... around 2003 it became a more decentralised group, changed its name to ISI about 2006, they added the last S after gaining momentum in Syria about 20013, 2014 they announced it as a Worldwide caliphate
But Obama is the leader of ISIS? Obama formed them? Funded them?
these reactionary conspiracies are just pure mental
It make no sense to create a wall if you don't tackle the real problem first,
The incentives are a REAL problem because its what is motivating them to come here in the first place.

SCOTUS can still operate with 8 justices.
The first judiciary act was passed in 1789 when the Supreme Court itself was set up, and it established six as the number of members. In the earliest court structure, the number of justices corresponded to the number of judicial circuits.
Over the next century and a half, as circuits were added without much discussion, so were Supreme Court members. In 1807, the number of circuit courts and justices was set at seven; in 1837, nine; and in 1863, the tenth circuit court was added for California and the number of both circuits and justices became ten.
The Judiciary Act of 1869, when Republican U.S. Grant was in office, increased the number of justices from seven to nine, and it has remained there ever since.
The REAL problem, the FIRST problem lies in those countries people think they need to flee from.
The incentives are a REAL problem because its what is motivating them to come here in the first place.
The Canadians aren't crossing the borders by millions illegally because they have NO incentives to come here illegally.
Canadians can take advantage of THE SAME incentives that ANY Central American can.
“I’m hopeful they’ll have a full bill, along with disaster relief funds that would be popular,” Sen. John Cornyn JOHN CORNYN Deals and disorder preview 2019 Senate poised to kick land bill fight to January Senate approves funding bill, preventing partial government shutdown MORE (Texas), the No. 2 Senate Republican, said when asked if lawmakers were aiming for a stopgap bill or legislation to fund the rest of the government until the end of September. Lawmakers are opening the door to lowering the amount of border funding from the $5.7 billion that passed the House on Thursday to $1.6 billion, the amount in the Senate’s Homeland Security bill. In the House, a number of conservative Republicans said they were open to supporting a lesser number, while other GOP voices said it would be wise for Republicans to accept the $1.6 billion. “In my business, something’s better than nothing,” said Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas).
Cornyn predicated the most likely outcome of the funding fight would be the Senate-level funding but with “flexibility” for how it’s used. “I think it will be for border security … whatever Senate appropriations bill was. [But] that it shows flexibility for how it can be used is the most likely outcome,” he said. Some Democratic leaders quickly vowed to support the $1.6 billion. “I would,” said Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the Democratic whip. The $1.6 billion figure, however, would likely erode some support from liberal Democrats, particularly members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus who have opposed even a $1 more for wall construction.
