There's Nothing Sacred About the Number 'Nine'

Brett Kavanaugh may be confirmed this week and by Monday sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

If that happens and when the next Congress takes office in January, there will be an immediate investigation by the U.S. House into the FBI's so-called investigation this week into Kavanaugh as Democrats will re-capture the gavel and chair all the House committees and therefore have subpoena power.

It's clear the White House limited the scope of the investigation and while the FBI interview notes may be confidential, any directives the FBI was given by the White House are not.

Democrats might not be able to work up to 67 votes in the Senate for impeachment in the next 6 years.

And if not, President Joe Biden should pack the court. Only 50%+1 in each chamber of Congress would be needed to pass legislation expanding the Supreme Court to 11.

There's nothing sacred about the number "nine."

It may not be sacred, but it is a special number. Every multiple of 9 adds up to 9 or a multiple of it. 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, etc. There are no exceptions to that mathematical rule. It is the only number that does that.

Uh, huh. Suuuuuure.

You might try multiplying it by zero.
@NankerPhelge Nein Way! (German for No way!) but interestingly enough continues the discussion of the magical number Nein, I mean nine...

That's German for "zero."

@beckyromero When I did maths in school, we didn't include zero in these things. Besides, anything multiplied by zero is still zero. If we multiply 277 by nothing, all we have is 277 lots of nothing. Therefore it means nothing. Lol :)
@beckyromero But it sounds like 'nine" that bit I'm sure of after watching numerous Hitler speeches on YouTube...

...Pocket calculators didn't exist, let alone computers. 😉

@beckyromero Pocket calculators did exist, I had one myself.

@beckyromero Absolutely right, he seems to crop up in general day to day discussions here at the Hitler Youth Club...
