Ironically, if the dems hadn't been so obstructionist with appointing judges, the Republicans wouldn't have killed the judicial appointment filibuster, and this would have been filibustered.

The judicial filibuster was removed by Dems in 2013 after years of extreme obstruction by Republicans. It was nominally kept in place for SCOTUS but never was tested under Obama because there was never a vacancy there for the GOP to obstruct from the minority. By the time Garland came up the GOP had held the Senate and obstructing for years across the federal judiciary and this was just one more.

They couldn't get a relatively easy nomination of Gorsuch through without eliminating it. Because Dems were obstructing purposely because they said it should be Obama's nominee.

If youre a cancer patient on chemowho just recovered from an infection in May
you shouldnt be out at gatherings at all, my guy.
RBG was hospitalized at the end of July and said that the pancreatic cancer had returned.

She was on death's door. Obsessing over her officiating a wedding is ridiculous. For all we know, doctors informed her she had weeks left. No different than McCain opting to stop treatment and then dying the next day.

Pancreatic Cancer is almost always a death sentence. Unless you specifically are looking for it, you never find it until stage 4.

Thread on strategic Dem Senate donating strategy
I move Bullock up in the POWER RANKINGS and am not 100% sure Cunningham should be off the list but otherwise that seems pretty solid at a first glance. He's right about IA, I think. (and 5000% right about McGrath)

I dont know why youre arguing this when you 100% know what I said above is true:

If a Chud brought a cancer-ridden Conservative Supreme Court Justice out to officiate their wedding during a fucking pandemic and they died 18 days later, you know damn well youd say something.

It is absolutely noteworthy due to the timing, thats all there is to it.

Whether you want to believe she decided her last hurrah was to officiate a random wedding or not, there is a sick irony to tempting fate in this year 2020, and there are multiple tweets from the day of basically terrified going yooo is she gonna die from this???

Time to leave the US (not joking about this)
Canada has somewhat recently loosened its immigration restrictions (because the country has too many baby boomers, so it needs more not-retired people).

I mean, not literally today, of course, since Canada's border is still closed to people coming from the US since the US is one of the most dangerous countries when it comes to Covid. But once Covid dies down.

Ill be the first to admit I have a manic posting style, butand I remember people backing me on thisever since the beginning of the primary I dont think Rock has ever made a respectful response to anything Ive said, hes been extremely hair trigger.

Also like, it feels like every time I post lately someone or another is just arguing against a caricature of a Dirtbag leftist and not actually responding to the sentences I bother to type, which is definitely triggering

It'll probably shift back regardless in the midterms. Personally, I feel that the dems having 2 years of full control might be good. Or at least good enough to assess whether or not that's a hell of a mistake.

2022 is a Dem friendly map, yeah.

Dems are up in: CA, OR, WA, NV, CO, IL, NY, MA, VT, NH, MY, HI, and probably AZ assuming Kelly wins the special. NH and maybe AZ feel like the only ones where there'd be a need for defense.

Republicans would be defending: PA, WI, NC, FL, OH, IN, KY, SC, AL, LA, AR, MO, IA, ND, SD, KS, OK, UT, ID, AK.

The winner of GA's special would also be up and probably Republican.

PA and WI could maybe even be pickup opportunities despite the tendencies of midterms to favor the out of power party.

They are the same, you're just making excuses for your side.

Merrick Garland was the nominee for nearly 10 months. Considering that is nearly a quarter of Barack Obama's second term, it's ridiculous to insist that's a "lame duck" portion of a presidential term.

No, its exactly the same (and McConnell absolutely done it regardless of the presence of these tiny differences). His other excuse was that the precedent included a qualifier of opposite party which is all but admitting that the actual principle is that you do whatever benefits your own side in any situation.
