Passive aggressive, probably. Aggressive is just muting everyone before they can start jabbering. It's the first step of any match if the game doesn't provide options to do it for you.

An entity can also aggressively mute everyone <3

Let us humbly pass the Arcane Pool Judicial Reformation Act, replacing every SCOTUS justice with a Magic 8 Ball. I can see no way that could go poorly.

But I don't think this kind of microscopic scrutiny should be normalized in all cases. The idea is to prevent people who will abuse their position from entering office, not punish people we disapprove of.

In all cases, no. For a fucking SCOTUS seat, or position of similar power, maybe yeah.

Same sentiment for the convict comparison. This isn't some kind of basic job being considered, nor something necessary for someone's survival, or anything even remotely along those lines. This isn't a "good job" or "good home." This is a consideration for literally the fucking highest judicial position in the country, and to an arguable extent by dint of it being the US's highest position the highest on literally the entire goddamn planet.

The standards. Should. Be. Real. Bloody. High. Yes, we should probably be holding significant drinking problems in their late teens/early twenties against them, because we don't fucking have to excuse shit like that. We can say, hey, you know, maybe you stick to being an appellate judge and we find someone who didn't spend their formative years thinking that was okay. We have that option. We probably should take it.

... beyond all that, it's way past the point we should stop peddling the line that shit like getting blackout drunk is just "college shenanigans", particularly when that bullshit is being used to attempt to excuse attempted or explicit rape. Shit isn't something that "just happens", it's something we as a people have been tolerating and in many ways encouraging, and giving how many people that ends up varyingly literally fucking maybe just maybe we're due to knock that shit off a bit harder.

I mean, you screw the GOP in the house this year, the senate and presidency in 2020 if we don't beat the odds on the former this election, impeach whatever needs impeaching, put the hammer to all the shit we've been tolerating that lets republicans squeak by with a minority of the population, and work from there.

Incidentally, though, there's more than Roe to the abortion debate. Even getting rid of it wouldn't immediately put the legal kibosh on the practice, just open grounds for certain fuckers to be more of a fucker.

Said before, will say again. K-whatever is there because he made mouth-noises that sounded to trump like "criminal immunity". That's pretty much the sole initial deciding factor, outside the base qualification of judicial political hack willing to rubber stamp near any and every thing a conservative political source gets put in front of them.

Beyond all the other massive steaming piles of shit involved in this, k-bastard was nominated as the blatant, immunize-myself-to-criminal-indictment, corruption pick.

Doesn't mean that he went sober and is fine now.

... uh, yeah, that's kinda' part of the general point.

Your question made me curious enough to click the link to see if it had an answer, sho.

That there was an 18 minute youtube video of some rando jabbering about... something... on the other side of it stopped that curiosity dead in its tracks. May be kinda' peeved with steam fucking folks still stuck on vista, but not enough to subject myself to that
