She only voted against Kavanaugh though because it was a sure thing that he was getting the nomination. No subtance.

They could light themselves on fire on the capital steps and still not stop a conservative justice replacing RBG if the GOP has the votes.  This isn’t the movies where there is a solution to every problem hidden somewhere in the rule book.  The only thing they can do is try to shame their Republican colleagues into…

“I have trouble believing Grassley or Murkowski really meant it. They thought this would never come up and they could score free reasonableness points.”

“Even if she retired we would still have a Republican controlled Supreme Court, we just wouldn’t be looking at going down 6-3.”

Even if Democrats take back the Senates, Republicans will have two months to install the new justice of their choice. It’s not Democrats who will have to tell Trump to fuck off, it’s Senate Republicans who will have to.

If Trump nominated someone dangerously unqualified or otherwise controversial MAYBE, but do you honestly think those senators would vote against a Republican SCOTUS nominee in the mold of Gorsuch on principle?  Especially if it isn’t clear that voting against such a nominee will hurt their electoral chances?

“Same for John Lewis in Congress.

“No way. She was better than anyone we would’ve gotten through even then.”

A sure no?  Seriously?

Also let’s end lifetime appointments. Letting justices decide when they want retire if they’re over 75 is such a terrible fucking idea. It lets them entertain fantasies that they can live forever and thus are not morally obligated responsible to consider the consequences of dying at the worst time to ensure that…

Republicans didn’t take the Senate until January 2015. She had 6 fucking years to retire under Obama and chose not to.

I’ve been screaming about this for the last year. I loved RBG. She was the best justice on the court in a generation, but her stubbornness and pride have put us in this horrific situation. There was no shortage of Op-Eds in 2009-2014, plus god only knows how many people behind the scenes urging her to retire while…

“Yeah if the Dems don’t refuse to seat anyone using the same argument the Republicans did then they don’t deserve to be in power. No high road bullshit this time.”

I’m equal parts devastated, terrified and furious right now. Devastated because we lost the best justice in the bench, terrified because there’s still enough time left on the clock to replace her with a Republican (because even if Trump loses and we take back the Senate, they could confirm her in a lame duck session…

Can we talk about Drew Barrymore’s kitchen? She did a crossover with Rachael Ray to promote her show earlier this week (we have a TV for patients that’s in my line of sight all day at work, so I see a lot of daytime talk shows) and sweet baby Jesus was the kitchen she cooked in amazing. I couldn’t tell if it was her…

They have Virginia Creeper and it’s just as vicious.

Not okay, also so doubt you’ve hung out in Jez this long and not heard the term internalized misogyny before.  That’s what it is when women do it.

Embarrassing for Don Jr. not because he’s dating an older woman (Guilfoyle’s older but not so much it’s age inappropriate), but because the similarities in age and physical appearance between his stepmom and girlfriend make him look like he’s got crazy mommy issues. Daddy issues too but he displays those everyday.

If it’s disrupting your ability to relate to one another, sure it goes both ways. As I very clearly said in my previous post, this isn’t an ideological thing. People end relationships over clashing views all the time, on every part of the ideological spectrum. If you think this is restricted to the left you’re being…

I agree. While Cornelia Street is clearly a love song, it doesn’t really describe a passionate/sexual one so I always thought it could be about an intense friendship.
