Wasn't meant to be in a specific order - just a list.

got it. just crazy that Mitch rushing in this SC pick might just push democrats to make moves so bold (ending the filibuster + packing the SC), which will unintentionally lead to biden having one of the most progressively consequential terms in decades

Up to Democratic senators not Joe Biden. The only real roadblock is Manchin and maybe Sinema.

Biden will set the agenda. Schumer isn't doing it without his approval.

that 6-3 is so tempting, i hope the repubs don't realize this will be like Icarus flying too close to the sun. one min it's 6-3 and the next it's 7-6.

Biden has said previously he would be open to ending the filibuster if Republicans are "obstreperous" (aka being obstructionists).

don lemon just played an even worse clip

its lady g but explicitly saying "use my words, we can now not confirm a justice in an election year"

Fukk the Democratic party and their lack of willingness to fight dirty. The Republicans are doing everything to maintain power with zero accountability and Dems send letters. That's why Trump gets to run amok.

lol imagine if a dem senate candidate had said something like this about scalia in 2016

Don't forget Jill Stein voters. They were more harmful to Hillary

There's no guarantee they would've voted for HRC they could've voted for Trump.

A couple of simple questions

1. How has the courts(whether SC or local courts) benefitted black people in the past 12 years?

2. Given that Biden is white supremacist(and was mentored by Strom Thurmond), do you honestly expect Biden to select judges that will advocate of our behalf?

Classic coli post right here

How does he shut down the government in this scenario?
Also, when did Obama ever shut down the government?
The Republicans shut it down in 2013, what else am I missing?

Why did the Republicans shut it down in 2013? Was there like a dispute over a particular issue that needed to be resolved first?
Obama/Senate couldn't do the same thing in 2016 over filling the SC seat? Or was the court not serious enough or something?

Not true. Jill Stein voters in 2016 were largely Bernie or Busters and liberals/Democrats that hated Hillary.

No. You need 4 not to vote. Pence is tie breaker if you get 3 not to vote and you’re stuck at 50

Bernie Sanders?

You know he isnt going to vote for some fascist.
