Do keep in mind that the Senate is always on a delay because of both terms and election rotation. A Senator gets 6 years in office and in the US, we stagger them into three classes, so only a third of the senate is up for election. Right now, Class 2 is up for election. Class 2 has been in there...

I'm more cynical. This is the same sort of reaction that the Democrats had when Trump got into office. After Obama centralized even more power into his branch and did countless end-runs around Congress, the Progressives were perfectly fine with it. In fact, many of them cheered it on. And some...

Oops! Wrong thread!

Even if they were stupid enough to waste their time doing so, it wouldn't work. Women tend to get more of a pass on sexual misconduct because women are simply not as threatening to the public as men are. It's biological. Women are the general deciders of who gets to pass on their genetic DNA...

My guess is that she's just tossing things out to sound tough. This was probably the worst thing that could have happened to them. A SCOTUS appointment that will send the far left into a shrieking fit while Trump racks up points on his side? Biden/Harris was going to be an uphill battle this...

That's what happens when both sides don't trust each other. If you read here, you'll see people insist that the Democrats are out to destroy the country. If you read there, it's very much the same, except it's been replaced with Republican. It comes down to the fact that the US is comprised of...

Well, I'm going to have to be a bit reptilian on this. This was not a surprise. This isn't a situation where a SCOTUS gets laid low by some unforeseen event. Ginsburg was clutching onto her power with her last dying breath. Maybe she sees that as heroic, it certainly seems that others do. I...

Why? She stayed at her post specifically to prevent another, more competent judge from taking her seat. She could have retired four years ago. But as everyone predicted four years ago, she was only leaving when they carried her out in her coffin. If she were healthy, it would be one thing. She...

Ah, I saw that meltdown earlier. Thank you so much for the entertainment Rastamon. I do enjoy watching you all scream and gnash over a woman who stayed on the court four years longer than she should have, out of spite and politics, just so you can all accuse the Republicans of playing politics...
