Re: 2018 Midterm Elections
That depends on what the congress does in the next 2 years. IMO it is about judges. You get as many of your men and women on the courts all over the nation that you can. That is where it really matters. It is the courts that decide where the country is headed. A judge in San Francisco just made a d...

Re: SCOTUS
The same word game plays out over and over again. A potential candidate is asked a question. The candidate replies that they can't answer because the issue could come up in front of the court. The candidate is then scolded for being evasive in their answers. The SCOTUS confirmation process should be...

Re: SCOTUS
Good morning Grumpy. I don't personally know anyone -- and I mean anyone, irrespective of political leanings -- who thought that Roberts was anything but super qualified for the Court. He was confirmed 78-22, with Democrats splitting exactly down the middle. During the oral arguments there was very...

Re: 2018 Midterm Elections
The gop 2018 playbook that got their butts kicked by 9 million votes nationwide. Mississippi is in play. When does that happen? The GOP playbook, as dumb as the republicans are, gained them seats in the senate. That is where the rubber meets the road. Where is it that judges are appointed and confi...

Re: Progressive Ideology
Property taxes and unfunded mandates to the counties in NYS. The 2 biggest back breakers. In Monroe County around 80% of the county budget is required by the state of NY in unfunded mandates. That is in simplest term the powers that be in NYS telling all the counties what they have to spend. Whethe...

Re: The Nation's Financial Condition
Anyone here think that the Republicans reading this will FINALLY admit that: 1. Trickle down doesn't work. We just gave the 1% even more of our money. Again. 2. Tax cuts don't pay for themselves. They never have. EVERY time, the deficit simply goes up, and we borrow to make up the shortfall. Yeah, ...
