Optimistic last sentence Pols. Colorado voters statewide have seen enough never to be fooled by Cory Gardner again. Other than that meh.
the prevailing right-wing logic seems to go like this:
She’s a woman.
She’s a wife.
She’s a mother.
How dangerous could she really be?
Gardner said Monday afternoon that, “if you can take the politics out of the place, she would probably have a unanimous vote. Unfortunately, the politicization of this nomination is going to prevent that.”
He's not only dishonest but he's stupid, too. Who on K Street is going to want to hire this imbecile.
Yuma county commissioner may be his next step.
I wonder if he made this statement because he is dishonest, or because he is stupid. Could be both.
I don't care where he goes, because he can go to hell.
Trying to reference what he thought was a cool and topical movie quote, late in my gentlemanly college career someone said to me ‘grow up, going through college fat, drunk and clueless is no way to get to graduation’.
I replied ‘ Hey! I haven’t been that fat.’
The lesson is, nothing says anything is ever mutually exclusive.
Ps
I dated his girlfriend a few weeks later, right before graduation.
There will always be a shining tower in Wichita beckoning him. Chuck and Dave made a substantial investment in the man from Yuma over time – they won't just walk away.
Your masters are pleased:
There's a lot of discussion about adding 4 justices to the Supreme Court. But there is another alternative…
Marbury vs. Madison is not enshrined in the Constitution nor in law. It was invented by the court and is no different than a president issuing an executive order that grabs power for the president in the absence of clear law forbidding that act.
Congress could legislate when the court can rule on the constitutionality of laws, and what effect that ruling has. And if Biden and a Democratic Congress make it clear they will then work from that – the court is then limited to that law (like when Jackson ignored the court's ruling in favor of the Cherokee).
Yes, elections matter. But no party in a functioning democracy can ever win every election, and certainly not if they only focus on 27 states.
How many times can Democrats whine about losing to Republican strong-arm tactics before they are forced to take a hard look in the mirror and blame themselves?
The real lesson in the ACB hearings is a hard one, indeed. Dems still won't step up to the mirror.
@ProjectLincoln out today with an ad for South Carolina. Dr. Bledsoe is on the ticket but has dropped out and endorsed Lindsey. He dropped out too late to keep his name from being printed on the ballot; SC conservatives will have an option to Blanche if they can't bring themselves to vote for Harrison. This could split the vote enough to put Harrison over the finish line.
@PL has announced they plan to continue beyond the election as a media company, dedicated to eradicating the virus of Trumpism (which they said this morning could be a 6-8 year window).
Will Bill Bledsoe be South Carolina Republicans' Jill Stein?
Sweet. I don't when it happens to the other side.
(Cue the Ride of Valkyries since I mentioned You-Know-Who.)
The real.takeaway is do what you are able to do, not what you think you should do.
Add 6 justices. Expand to 15 circuits and double the number of judges in circuit and district courts, and make all immigration courts article III courts. Reduce SCOTUS jurisdiction and take away its budget for everything except stuff constitutionally required. Require a seat to be added to the supreme court every time a justice hits 75 and won't retire. The "rule of law" is a sad joke.
David Dennison is pulling out all the stops today! Why won't Melania tell her porn-star-humping hubby to #BeBest when it comes to matters of Papa Frank?
Expanding (not "packing". Never use the word "packing" unless in the context of what the GOP did.) the Court is perfectly Constitutional.
Prior to that, Joe Scarborough suggested that two conservative Justices (say, Thomas and Alito) could resign during the hoped for Biden Administration.
History will be unkind to Donnie and Mitch. All of them, really. This kind of underhanded, criminal politics will win some battles, but they will never win the war.
Treachery, cruelty, and a malevolent single-mindedness has handed Mitch his prize. I heard him yesterday on the floor of the Senate, trying to convince his caucus they have done a noble thing. They all know better.
Phony Barrett is an assassin. She is looking to be exalted as the fundamentalists Joan d'Arc. She will bring down Roe v. Wade. It is her destiny…and I believe she aims to fulfill it.
Along the way, she will legislate all those issues fundamentalist Christians have been lusting to change. The push to install an American theocracy will intensify.
This isn't going to be any fun.
I think you're right, Duke, and I think they're going to start losing the war next Tuesday. All those Senators who are on the bubble and on the ballot may have sold their reelection for this SCOTUS pick. I doubt they'll think it was worth it.
'history'
You mean like last weekend? It looks like some guys came to see Mith already.
Don gets his visit later. Like some thursday in January.
Or in the next three years when the billions in debt he owes will be due.(I know NYT said $451million – but Forbes says $1.2B, and others know it's more.)
@itlduso: sorry to be a little rude. If Biden wins and the Republicans retain the Senate, what makes you believe that Mitch will move to confirm any Biden picks for the SCOTUS or appellate courts?
I have not known you to engage in wishful thinking. What makes you think Mitch is going to continue as Majority Leader?
I think Mitch has that spot until he decides to quit; dies; or the Dems take the Senate. I haven't seen anything in my reading saying that if the Rs keep the Senate, he will step down as majority leader.
So..the Dems aren't going to win the Senate.
Izzat right?
Nice try, Duke. I said nothing of the sort. Save your ire for the Q-Bert crowd in your district's congressional race.
Never mind.
I really shouldn't expect you keep up.
He won’t. But I hope Biden learns how to make recess appointments.
And Biden’s Energy Dept. suddenly discovers that Kentucky would make a great permanent location for nuclear waste.
Good luck getting the Senate to recess.
NLRB v. Noel Canning neutered the everluvin' hell out of recess appointments. It's easy as hell for the Senate to preclude them.
Gardner, ever the pragmatist, seems to agree that a Senate and a President of the same party can do what they want to do. Sen. Graham as chair of Judiciary, went along with an accelerated schedule (despite COVID quarantine, Senate rules for bipartisan attendance at the committee meetings, prior practice on allowing time for outside individuals to prepare testimony or submissions). The final vote of 52-48 and an absolute partisan one is a clear message.
So, if Biden wins and the Senate majority shifts, the precedent ought to be followed for at least the 4 years of Biden's term: President + Senate can do what they want.
Ask not what should be done – ask what can be done and do it."
