  1. The only explanation for him is he's a fucking sociopath. He's got dead dogs buried in his back yard I'm telling you
  2. Roberts won't be able to 5-4 his way into doing the right thing for the wrong reasons if Trump is reelected
  3. Biden should not be in close physical proximity to someone who less than two weeks ago had what appeared to be a pretty severe covid case, full stop
  4. Maybe don't do and say and support racist things/institutions/people and you won't get this label
  5. My step dad is from Michigan and him leaving was a net positive to the state IQ wise
  6. Michigan is full of dumbasses, can't wait for a Biden administration to not have Senate confirmed cabinet secretaries
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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!
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. @CitizenVectrondoesnt canada have an age 75 limit for judges, but otherwise it's a lifetime appointment?
  13. 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.
