"We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words: 'We, the people.'" – Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
"Much that passes as compromise in the world is just disguised fear or disguised indifference."

Not to quibble, but I think that last one is pronounced, " Rooby-roobee-roo."
Just sayin' 😁
It can be pronounced anyway anyone wants.
Example- MADCO is frequently pronounced dik
😄
And today is Frank Sinatra’s birthday
If not for Nelson Riddle, Quincy Jones and Dean Martin, I would like The Chairman a lot less. But I love the guy
This is a great read. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the history lesson. What was old is once again new.
Excellent piece…thanks Michael.
The parallels are amazing. My takeaway is "no senator who voted against conviction ever held public office again."
Just at this moment, the Republican party chooses for itself…life or death.
Excellent indeed. michaelharriot is a voice that needs more exposure. I particularly liked the construction of "White People Won't Be Civil War".
nice.
"All persons…"
So obvious, but so far out of reach.
Seven words that scare the crap out of Gardner, Buck, Tipton, and Lamborn, not to mention the Republican leadership in Congress. They have fought to prevent those words from having the effect of law, and will continue until their dying breath (or until the PAC checks stop coming, whichever comes first).
Unfortunately, All persons are equal before the law doesn't solve the problem. In Gorsuch Alito world everyone is screwed equally before the law. Sorry, that's not good enough.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Alas, if there is one thing today's Republican Party is good at, it's doing nothing.
The House will impeach the Stinky One. The Senate will acquitt 49 51. Collins, Romney Murkowsky for conviction, Mancin Against. Evil will Triumph.
All then depends on November. Klobuchar/Buttigieg vs. Trump/Gabbard.
Stay tuned.
You are giving Susan Collins more credit than she deserves. In my mind, she will forever be that dimwit giving that speech on the Senate explaining her vote for Kavanaugh.
Otherwise, I think your vote count is correct: Mittens and Murkowski vote to convict with Manchin voting to acquit.
Collins will vote to convict in a desperate attempt to save her seat. It won't work.
. Furious Trumpers will primary her and, while she will win the primary, Democrats will take the seat this fall.
I'm a naive optimist. I think a few more may vote for Obstruction of Congress (of course, there will also be a few fewer for Abuse of Power).
Please don’t conflate “good people” and the liars, grifters, sycophants, toadies, con-men, and hangers-on in today’s “Republican Party” . . .
. . . words have meaning.
But how will we pay for it…
The problem with socialism….

Nobody wants it and embracing it is no more than a ticket to oblivion.
OK, Boomer.
Okay, Stoner…
The bigger problem there is, and always has been, Corbyn.
See also the South Park episode where the voters had to choose between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich . . .
Also, it completely ignores Brexit as an issue.
Medicare is socialism.
"Doctor, now is the time for you and every other ethical physician in the United States to individually and voluntarily pledge nonparticipation in HR-6675, the socialized hospitalization and medical care program for the aged." AMA 1964
"Having given our pensioners their medical care in kind, why not food baskets, why not public housing accommodations, why not vacation resorts, why not a ration of cigarettes for those who smoke and of beer for those who drink."
Barry Goldwater 1964
"I was there, fighting the fight, voting against Medicare . . . because we knew it wouldn't work in 1965." Bob Dole, campaigning for president, 1996
I could go on – Social Security, Medicaid, Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Pell Grants, paid sick leave, 40-hour work week, federally guaranteed student loans, housing grants, TVA, Earned Income Tax Credit, food stamps – now SNAP, public schools, flood insurance, FEMA, and a hundred other things – but there's no point.
No one wants socialism. Anywhere. Ever. Because everyone knows it just doesn't work.
Yeah, my socialistic medical insurance, the 3 parts of Medicare for which I pay,cost me $250/mo.
Socialism at its best.
