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.

Even though he's been in public life a long time, he's got a pretty sparse record. So I wouldn't be sure in any area. I've got hunches, that's all.
clearly extremely opinions people type various
People who know him in Washington, D.C., of various ideological stripes, say this is not the type to be a fundamentalist. He is clearly extremely able, and his opinions are real lawyers' opinions.
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.
acted argument decent facts impeached president thus
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.
