I don't always agree with RoyalFan, but she could have retired back in 2014 when she had her stent implanted.  She had a friendly Senate then, and she had already went through multiple serious illnesses prior to that.

I don't mind being the asshole that repeats that view, or at least gives voice to it.

I agree with this as well. Yeah, she shouldn't have to take that stuff into consideration, but reality demands otherwise.

Was really hoping she could hang on and we'd get a good Justice and then perhaps extend the SCOTUS seats.  All that's probably not going to happen now.  All those people who couldn't be bothered to vote and both sides just cost Democracy a hell of a lot.

Historically, no it doesn't. The one difference now is women, including traditionally Republican white women, are legitimately staring down a 50+ year regression in terms of legal protection.

This is such a fucking gut punch

Fuck history, this is 2020. If the GOP tries to ram a justice through, they are gonna get swept in Nov. This will galvanize Dems more than Pubs

Don’t stop there. One Dakota. WyMontIdaho. MissArKansOklahoma. Whittle red Amerika down to the 16 or Senators the deserve. 11 new ACLU lawyers on the SC. Make all NASCAR races have right turns. Make SEC! teams play 9 game conference schedules and disallow FCS matchups. Kaepernick statues at every mile marker on every interstate in former confederate states. Require all southern schools to play New York, New York on the PA after the pledge. Free firearms to NAACP members. Replace God Bless America with WAP during the seventh inning stretch. Tax churches at the top marginal rate to fund planned parenthood and transgender surgeries for anyone who wants them. Ban the DH. Death penalty for driving slowly in the left lane. Trains. Lots and lots of trains. 

they should blast WAP at the white house like he's noriega

Really?  How so?

It looked like Hillary was going to be elected, remember?  Until she wasn't.  So, explain your tactics.

How about she was in her late 70s and early 80’s for the 8 years that Obama was President, and for some reason she didn’t think that time was right for her to step down. There would have been no hoping or expecting a Democrat president.  Then Trump happened and she has to try to outlive his term.

Ouch that, hurts man.  Really bad.  I think I'm going to cry.  And the way you hit all the high points and took the bully pulpit all in one swoop is nothing short of breathtaking.

I misread the NYTimes headline.  I thought it said 97, not 87.  I might not be sober, either.

*BUT: Collins is doing shitty in the polls against her D opponent, and this could be one of those things she could use to keep her seat, because if she goes through with helping seat a SC justice, she will get thoroughly trounced in November.   You can bet her opponent will be doing a shit-ton more ad-buys and robocalling starting in the next few days.

He's going to get his justice during the lame duck.
Fuck.

Is that possible? I'm just asking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Judges_Act

Quote

In the 19 days between passage of this Act and the conclusion of his administration, President Adams quickly filled as many of the newly created circuit judgeships as possible. The new judges were known as the Midnight Judges because Adams was said to be signing their appointments at midnight prior to President Thomas Jefferson's inauguration.

And if Collins loses? She'll vote to confirm during the lame duck session.

Are we full of a bunch of fucking Qanon-believing idiots who were dropped on their heads as babies??

No?

TexAgs gets their fucking political direction from Qanon, a bunch of pranksters from a porn site.  We are not TexAgs.

I don’t agree with a lot of this, but banning the DH night sway me.
