morning couple real
So, you could often say things are terrible and that accounts for what happened, or things are really bright, and that accounts for what happened.

real punishment people
Those subject to capital punishment are real human beings, with their own backgrounds and narratives. By contrast, those whose lives are or might be saved by virtue of capital punishment are mere 'statistical people.' They are both nameless and faceless, and their deaths are far less likely to be considered in moral deliberations.
real careers rumor
Rumors are nearly as old as human history, but with the rise of the Internet, they have become ubiquitous. In fact we are now awash in them.

They can threaten careers, policies, public officials, and sometimes even democracy itself.

On the facts thus far, the president has a decent argument that he acted lawfully. There's also a decent argument that he didn't. But if the president has a decent argument, he can't be impeached for getting it wrong.
both experience judicial league recent three
She doesn't have anything like the qualifications of recent nominees. They were exceptionally qualified, both by their judicial experience and experience before they were on the court. Those three were a whole different league of qualifications.

She is unquestionably an intelligent person and a competent lawyer. But she's had very little experience in constitutional law.
both brilliant feeling hero nicest republican
My feeling on the Republican side, unfortunately, is they just want to make him look like an American hero who is both the most brilliant person in the world and the nicest person in the world.

Why should we be governed by people long dead? ... In any case, the group that ratified the Constitution included just a small subset of the society; it excluded all women, the vast majority of African Americans, many of those without property, and numerous others who were not permitted to vote.
