Any thinking person knows what McConnell did with Garland. They know how it did it (constitutionally). And they even know it was Joe Biden who paved that path. Read more, post less. It will do you some good. Please, enlighten me as to what the process entailed. I don't have time to read through this all, and prefer to troll instead... 39 minutes ago, LABillzFan said: Greatest meltdown ever. Jerry Saltz? Is that real?

Buffalo_Gal Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 They can withhold their support/money. It didn't work in 2010, but I doubt Mitch would be inclined to help her the next time as he did in 2010.Party Chairman Tuckerman Babcock said the committee may issue a statement or withdraw its support for Murkowski. In the case of the latter, the committee would encourage officials to find a replacement and ask Murkowski not to run as a Republican for reelection.

Azalin Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 3 hours ago, LSHMEAB said: Texas should indeed have more representation from the Senate than a state like Rhode Island. Most people believe that the senate is a representative body for the people, probably due to the fact that senators are directly elected by residents of that particular state. The fact is that the senate's function is to represent each state, with all members having equal representation within the senate body. Senators were originally appointed by state legislatures, but the states ultimately failed to appoint them in a timely fashion, the internal politics of the states being the blame most of the time. Eventually the 17th amendment changed that, taking the appointment of senators away from the state legislatures and instead allowing the citizens do so through elections. It's the fact that we directly vote for our senators now that gives the impression that senators represent the people directly, but that's not the case. That's the purpose of the house of representatives, and it's exactly why representation in the house is based on population. 3 hours ago, TakeYouToTasker said: At this point it's probably in everyone's best interests to force California out of the country and to remove all military bases and technology, and personnel, and allow California to purchase all Federal land within the state from the government. Be sure to let me know if you ever run for public office. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very few conservatives IRL and the twitter right is intellectually vapid. If you'll note, the overwhelming majority of my posts are responses. I like your presence here.

LSHMEAB Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 9 minutes ago, Rob's House said: I like your presence here. You make the discussion more interesting. Appreciate it. I've always felt like people can vehemently disagree about issues and not let it become personal. I think what gets in the way of quality discourse is intellectual dishonesty to suit a narrative. I've seen the right do it in the past and I've seen the left abandon the presumption of innocence to appease Metooer's. Quite sure I'll express an opinion that you'll piss on in the future, but such is life. At the end of the day, we're all (presumably) Bills fans so we already have shared trauma. That has to count for something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keukasmallies Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 5 hours ago, B-Man said: NOT SATIRE: In His First Day On The Job, Kavanaugh Hired As Many Black Law Clerks As RBG Has In Her Entire Tenure. Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation’s highest judicial tribunal. With his first clerkship hires, Kavanaugh also set a gender composition record, an apparent attempt to buck the high court’s hiring patterns, which tend to favor white, male graduates of elite law schools. Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black. Where are the protestors? See, it's just facts like these that piss off the leftists when they come to light (the facts, not the 'leftists). And, as we see on a daily basis, a pissed off leftist can spread some interesting stories in the MSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't turn them over the Washington Post. She didn't turn them over to Senator Fienstien. She didn't turn them over to congress. As Judge Judy would say, "if you can't produce it, it doesn't exist." I wanted to believer her, but I find this disturbing. If it proved her case, why not share it? She is the accuser after all. It didn’t prove her case. It actually hurt it because she blamed the therapist for writing down the wrong sexes of the people at the party and she never mentioned Kavanaugh‘s name to her.
