Re: Voting Rights
Not so for California (where I've lived for 35 years), whose districts were drawn by an independent commission with equal R and D representation. It's the only good thing that has ever emerged from the California proposition system, but it's a very good thing.

Re: SCOTUS
BK has been lying from day 1. When Trump introduced him, BK opened his remarks with “No president has ever consulted more widely, or talked with more people from more backgrounds, to seek input about a Supreme Court nomination,” he said, after apparently reviewing the selection processes for about 1...

Re: SCOTUS
The evidence against BK is the sworn testimony of Dr.Ford. Sworn testimony is considered evidence in every court in the land. I hope some D Senators ask him to explain some of his HS yearbook entries (written by BK himself): "Keg City Club (Treasurer) --- 100 Kegs or Bust" Q: Did you and y...

Re: SCOTUS
But removal requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. Good luck with that! Right now, every single R Senator, including the six women, supports putting Bart O'K on SCOTUS.jhu72 wrote:For those concerned about time lines, Supremes can be impeached

You gents think that Republican Senators would jeopardize a SCOTUS pick over this? An allegation made in K's High School years? No chance.

Re: The GOP, Past and Future Direction
When the phrase "don't monkey it up" is used to mean "don't elect my opponent who happens to be black", then yes, I immediately think that is racist. I still remember the time, when I was around 12 years old (50 some years ago), when my Dad brought home from the local barber shop...

Since you can't get even the most basic info right, I have to assume that all your other numbers are wrong as well.

Re: SCOTUS
You may think Reid was wrong, but he was provoked by a totally unprecedented blockade of Obama's nominees by Republicans: By our calculation, there were actually 68 individual nominees blocked prior to Obama taking office and 79 (so far) during Obama’s term, for a total of 147. https://www.politifac...

Re: SCOTUS
So your claim is that the Republicans would have been just too clueless to do this on their own, if Reid hadn't shown them the way?
OK, sure.
You really should have bought one of those Mexican condos Trump was peddling. Great investment.

Nonsense.
