My step dad is from Michigan and him leaving was a net positive to the state IQ wise

Michigan is full of dumbasses, can't wait for a Biden administration to not have Senate confirmed cabinet secretaries

Who cares, this is all political theater which will have 0 impact on her confirmation, the optics are bad and given how it's the most salient issue of the election it might be worth making a bigger deal of.

I'll never argue for democratic competence, but (That's senator whitehouse in his opening remarks) Could make good politics in this point, that Republicans continue to not take precautions w.r.t. covid

I get that I just liked the burn on Republicans

He tested positive TEN days ago. Testing isn't perfect so he should be waiting out the whole 14 days since he had close contact with other known covid positive contacts anyway!

beautiful

i can't believe they're going with this bullshit excuse of why she apparently won't repeal the ACA in a few weeks. Actually I can, but it's just so transparently stupid.

what a piece of shit

Or kennedy, a republican, wanted to have his successor chosen by a republican president and confirmed byaa republican Senate. That's why he retired before the midterms just in case!

^my feeling on pete. He's 100% right here

@CitizenVectrondoesnt canada have an age 75 limit for judges, but otherwise it's a lifetime appointment?

I'm not disagreeing but to be fair, it wasn't just Mitch! It was Republicans like Ron johnson, Cruz, etc who wouldn't sign their blue slips back when Dems had the Senate so that appeals and circuit court judges seats were unfilled until trump took over, a norm that was not given to the democrats when the shoe was on the other foot. These people are playing Calvinball with norms to achieve their ideological goal: an explicitly conservative tribunal of last resort with lifetime appointments so they can make the hard decisions of striking down popular but un-"conservative" positions like environmental regulations and laws(specifically but not exclusively), medicare and social security, the right to choose generally, protection for pre-existing conditions, etc.

lol projection from 2013

Might have the preliminary results of this bad boy taken care of by midnight

ACB: don't expect the court to help you, at all, for anything 100% chance she falls in the conservative line on voting rights and other related issues where you ultimately don't have the chance to hold the other branches accountable

That's it right there!

Third option: you prevent states from stopping sales of insurance issued access state lines, so it becomes a race to the bottom for business friendly regulations, kinda like how many credit cards are/were (?) Issued from like south dakota because of their usury laws allowed the issuance of high interest cards on favorable terms for the issuer

Appeals court tho

They love telling on themselves
