the selection coming from a lame-duck president,

I keep returning to this in a sci-fi novel, one character explaining how the climate disaster came to be,

Can the people of Maine get a recall petition together in time to have it on the November ballot?

What they could have done over the past three weeks was not let the other side rewrite the narrative into this just being about abuse.

“SJW” is a dehumanizing pejorative invented by an alt-right hack promoting a conspiracy theory.

That looks so cool! I’m going there next time I’m in the city.

I think they blew it on a simpler level.  “So how does Neil Gorsuch fit in your conspiracy theories?”

This really has turned into a referendum on some drunk high school kid.

There are weeks with 4 or even 6 teams on a bye, so the theory works but you’d have to really spread the bye weeks thin.

Hey, at least up here in Connecticut we can pride ourselves on NOT having a hockey franchise named after a natural disaster that just wrecked our state.

Yeah. Connecticut is a pretty cool place, but pretty much all of that coolness is located outside Hartford.

How have I missed this?

No commentary on the fact that after three exhausting weeks of playing Football, Carolina gets a whole week off?

This is one of the ”moderate” ones who has shown sympathy in that past. Blumenthal brilliantly maneuvered his own words against him. (Could be why he got so upset.)

He should be disqualified from sitting on this committee since he’s displayed clear prejudice against all liberal nominees.

Graham himself was a lawyer. So it’s a damn strange sentiment.

Can we get some attention to how Blunenthal (a Democrat) quoted Graham’s own words in support of victims?  That’s a brilliant piece of chess playing.

The original reason was because it was part of the deal with Kennedy to promote his former clerk. That’s how his name got to the top of the list.

I don’t know what to think about Sale.

It’s so great we have all this to distract the judiciary committee from bringing up points about his lying under oath, hidden classified information, and suspect financial situations.
