24 Dem AGs File Amicus Brief Backing DOJ Challenge To Texas Abortion Ban | Talking Points Memo

You know what I’d like? For Thomas and Kavanaugh and the lying Handmaid to be impeached and convicted and removed from the Court and replaced by flaming liberals.

Then add a few more. New Hampshire has 400 people in their lege, CA has 120. Maybe we need more legislators in Congress so the people are better represented too.

And once again, a “strategy” pioneered by GOP asshole “lawyers” (remember Dan Patrick/Lt Gov TX versus PA?) comes back to bite them on their wide candy asses.

You know what I’d like? For monkeys to fly out of my butt.

Seriously…can someone find a nice big photo of those trees and photoshop some handmaid’s bonnets onto them, please?

I’d settle for just watching them get put there in the first place :stuck_out_tongue:

Don’t hold us in suspense! What’s the news?

ETA: oooh, found this…

A Democrat failed to dot an “i” or correctly conjugate a verb – at least according to an FBI agent’s memory of events – and so Durham briefly resurfaced from Barr’s ass cheeks to announce his intent to indict, hours before the five-year statute of limitations blew up in his own face.

Lame, immaterial, and going nowhere.

The flop sweat of GOP desperation continues to stink up the joint.

The only reason that I included the option of removing jurisdiction was that was one of the threats the right used on marriage equality.

I like your option, except that it will never get past the Senate filibuster – unless court expansion could “have a budgetary impact”, I guess.

Judicial nominations are not subject to the filibuster, and you don’t need to expand the court first. Just nominate four new justices, then their confirmation by the Senate puts them on the Court. They wouldn’t be sitting in permanent seats like the other 9, but they could still get successors appointed the same way when they die or retire.

A few public committee hearings on these choices might get Roberts’ attention.

Wouldn’t the bulk of unprocessed ballots be those that voted by mail or used drop boxes on or shortly before election day, neither method trusted by the GQP voters? Didn’t most of them vote in person?

I texted thousands of voters in the days leading up to and on election day, and a significant number that responded had just dropped off or mailed their ballots, or were about to do so. They would be the ones counted last, so I don’t think we can assume that the margin will necessarily sink to the polling average (which had older, lower margins mixed in, and late breakers were trending “No”).

Again this assumes that the voters for recalling Newsom avoided mail and dropbox, regardless of when they voted.

But who knows? We’ll find out soon enough. Of course I’d like “No” to stay above 60%, though.

BTW, here’s the CA SOS link for unprocessed ballots:

“Merkin”, “cis”, “het”, 'scuse me, but I’m new to your language so elaborate. BTW, “Weary”? You know who else is “weary”? Women who are underrepresented at every level of government.

Tell me why you wouldn’t want to see that. Joe will be 84 in 2024. I say “no thank you” to the prospect of a second run since right now he takes heat from certain quarters alleging he’s slipping and is on the downhill path to gaga. It would become hard to defend after three more years of these claims.

Because that French Laundry stunt was incredibly stupid and gross and elitist. Newsom could afford to lose a couple percentage points off his vote total in deep blue California, but we don’t have that luxury (ha!) in a presidential election.

Name a popular blue state Democrat who might be a replacement. But how many times does he have to explain and apologize for this mistake? The right wing will keep pounding on it, but we need to stop doing that.
