Ideally I would see the SC justices have a limited term, I forget the math but it works I think with 15 or 18 years where each term the president would pick a number of justices.
I would rather see them start at 60 than 40, next thing you know they will be selected at birth like the Dalai Lama.

I think it is time for a few new states, Puerto Rico and DC would work just as well as North and South Dakota did.

When the USSR collapsed in 1991, I remember thinking how odd it was that one of the world’s 2 superpowers could collapse just like that. No one should think that that can’t happen here.

McConnell followed the Biden Rule to a t. he did precisely what Biden suggested should be done if a president tried making a late term appointment. but you didn’t care when biden suggested it, did you? hmmm?

how many times do you have to step on a rake and take it in the face like a Hanna Barbera cartoon character, before you learn to watch your step?
