What does the SUNY system teach these kids

[tlj000]

"What do you want to do as a career?"

“I want to become a Supreme Court Justice. I could enact a lot of change that way.” #HumansofBinghamton

Binghamton is suppose take the smartest kids. Then the brainwashing start. I saw it with my son

I though the legislature changes laws.

Hey, that's actually deep. Kid I dealt with yesterday couldn't figure change of a $20. Although there was a twist, he rang me up for $7.55 and it should have been $7.05. So that was a complex two step math problem for him.

Actually she's right if she is going by how the SCOTUS works contemporaneously

I think that's the first time I've ever used that word.

 

[thegatman]

What SCOTUS?

26 points in scrabble, I'd guess that's pretty good

Unfortunately the brainwashing begins even before college.

BU alum here! Go Bearcats!

Doing both my bachelors and masters there I can say with much certainty that they don't always take the best and brightest. And don't expect these privileged kids from Westchester and Long Island to understand Constitutional Law, at least not the way scholars like Scalia did.

Yeah, agreed it's basically filled with a lot of downstate long islanders who are just there to party. Was there during the same times you were.

But even the differences between then and now are pretty big. Back then, SJW-ism was definitely being spewed from the mouths of professors, but it wasn't part of every single aspect of becoming a student like kids these days have to deal with. I feel like 10-15 years ago, someone naive enough to think they'd realistically become a supreme court justice would be laughed at still.

I didn’t know supreme courts justices could do things and enact significant change.

 

[Steal2B]

My bet this is Fake News. As I understand, at SUNY Binghamton, the crown jewel of the NYS university system, the entire entering class is all pre-med. So unless this student, during her drive to school from Long Island or Westchester, while grabbing a bite at the Roscoe Diner, heard that Cuomo is going to make college free so she may as well take that new dual major medical MD / law JD program, it has gotta be fake news.

No kidding. Wonder if we ever crossed paths. Probably did and had no idea. At least two of us got out of the liberal indoctrination facility relatively unscathed. Though as you said, it was different back then.

I was the victim of an unwanted sexual assault from this girl at a party I attended down there over the summer. It has irrevocably changed my life but I plan on burying my anguish deep inside for decades. I will live with it until she is being reviewed for appointment to the supreme court. That's when I'll hire a lawyer and reveal this assault so I can live the rest of my life in peace.

 

[MadScientist]

Um I mean on the more downlow guys but I've taught students at the Upstate Medical campus. Surprisingly various graduate students there are A LOT more conservative than I ever would have guessed. Almost jaw dropping to me, being a PhD and having to put up with liberal insanity in academia on a near daily basis. This is STEM, however, keep that in mind.

The only people who respect the constitution are those who served or had family in the military it seems.

To be fair, I'd probably have done something like that. My brain can't do math for some reason.

I took an IQ test in high school and scored about a 110. I swept the entire test getting almost everything right, but my "processing" was really slow... It's really aggravating, but some of it might have to do with anxiety as well. I'll get really stressed about how to tackle the problem, to the extent that it hinders my performance.

Just had a huge argument with a former classmate from early high school on this crap... He slipped and basically admitted that he wanted specific court rulings based on "morality". He couldn't begin to wrap his head around why I opposed the Court's ruling on gay marriage, despite supporting gay marriage. At least on basis of "less government is better", and I don't feel it's the government's place to intervene in a consenting relationship between two adults.

He came back with something like "Well if you really supported the issue, you'd support the ruling too!"

A bad legal decision is still bad, no matter what the issue is. That's how I look at it.

 

[GunXpatriot]

I'm pretty close to finishing up at UAlbany, but I was previously at a community college. It was probably about 2:1 conservative to liberal, since it was local and we are upstate.

But since I'm a criminal justice major, I'd say things actually still lean a little more conservative, despite the majority of the campus being somewhere between left of center, to full-blown communist.

@GunXpatriot .. why do you have to get a marriage license from the state ?? you know that separation thing ..

 

[GunXpatriot]

@GunXpatriot .. why do you have to get a marriage license from the state ?? you know that separation thing ..

Oh shoot... That pesky 10th Amendment.

I did read the full case a while back, and I'm pretty sure it was decided based on the 14th Amendment, but in doing that, it's almost like the Court basically said that the 14th can supersede the 10th as long as the law is somehow being applied differently, which I guess it was..?

It happens to be one of the "better" bad decisions, because at least the reasoning does follow some amount of logic based on the Constitution. Other cases, not so much.

 

[Acer-m14]

@GunXpatriot why do i need permission from the state or Govt on who i marry ??

if you go to the judge for marriage .,. the states owns you ..

That's a pretty ridiculous generalization. Foolish, even.

Totally 100% disagree... I know "it seems" means it's just an opinion, but this is a great way to alienate those who aren't involved in the military and are legitimate constitutionalists, or try to be. I would include myself in that.
