“Judicial reform” could be another term the Dems could use.

This had been the Dem MO during Bush II, and has been since 2017.

Every few months something done by the President or his minions that is even more egregious and outrageous than the previous one comes up. Dems holler and shout and tell us that this will be the end of the Presidency.

Soon the whole thing fizzles, I start pulling my hair out, and in a few months the whole cycle repeats.

Don’t get your hopes up. Actually nothing is gonna happen. She will be sworn in by Oct. 31.

“She is a woman of unparalleled achievement, towering intellect, sterling credentials and unyielding loyalty to the Constitution,” Trump said, announcing the nomination in the Rose Garden on Saturday.

Lay it on thick donald. We know ya don;t mean a word of it…

I am sure he made it very plain what he expects from Judge Barret:

An end to Obamacare (who the fuck cares about preexisting conditions anyway. “It’s that damned Black man and the way he dissed me at that correspondent’s dinner …)
and
Save my taxes from being revealed…
and
Reelect me.
You can kill Roe v Wade cuz I don’t care. Uppity wimminz anyway”…
This is why Mz Barrett is smiling (beyond lifetime employment)

Good Schumer is staying away from religion.

Schumer: "The American people should make no mistake—a vote by any Senator for Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a vote to strike down the Affordable Care Act and eliminate protections for millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions."

"I will strongly oppose this nomination."

Blumenthal won’t meet with her.

Sen. Blumenthal: "I will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, as I would any nominee proposed as part of this illegitimate sham ... as Americans are already casting their votes."

"I refuse to treat this process as legitimate and will not meet with Judge Barrett."

  • Name deceptively evokes Coney Island, a place that is good.

Also:

  • Name effeminately evokes Bill Barr, an AG who is bad.

Vote, because you never know if Thomas or Alito will kick the bucket or retire.

She had an interesting position on a SCOTUS appointment prior to an election.

She seems to have gotten over it.

Naw. “Ram through actual jurists to eliminate the impact of the 25% of the courts which were nominated by an illegitimate “president” and who have no business being on the bench at all.”

Take the fight to them.

Because if the GOP does a brutally hypocritical power play a few weeks from an election because they can and there’s nothing the Dems can do about it, it’s time to bash the Dems again. You people are literally obsessed with this. Really not the time or the place, but I waste my breath.

It is outrageous that in the 21st century anyone is against having access to birth control.
