It was a mistake. Don't judge her too harshly for not predicting Trump's win. | |||

Court-packing arguments begin. I'm open to the idea. Pack the Court I'm favorably disposed to the idea in January if the Democrats wind up with 50 senators. I'm not sure I like the idea of campaigning on it. | |||

That is what I thought at the time. Also, I don't recall the Dems doing much to counter Mitch when he blocke Garland.

Our nightmare: McConnel and his minions confirm a very young, very I-1 loyalist in the next two or three weeks. The righties then have a 6-3 majority. The election goes sideways due to all the carp that I-1 is currently orchestrating. I-1 contests everything (even the date of Election Day). It goes to the Supremes like Bush v Gore. Even if one of the righties sprouts a conscience and calls it for the sham it is, the rest of them declare I-1 the winner. It’s scorched earth, no holds barred, authoritarian rule from there. Somebody please wake me up.

I should delete my earlier post. Mrs. Betty Bowers @BettyBowers · 1h “She should've retired when Obama was POTUS” tweets are infuriating. 1. GOP made up a new rule that they would block all replacements. 2. Nobody – even Trump – thought Trump was going to win. 3. She had cancer and still hung on as long as she could. So, kindly, shut it.

Go back to sleep. If you can.

Agree on both counts, and for heaven's sake, Democratic party, do NOT call it "packing the court." Jeez. | |||

I don't think it matters what euphemism Schumer tries to invent. The other side will reimpose the term. Max Boot is right. There is virtually zero trust between partisans. "We" understand that the GOP is composed of power-hungry hypocrites who want to demonize non-white people and exploit the poor. "They" understand that "we" want to destroy the American economy and impose godless communism on everyone. Ginsburg's Passing May Worsen the Crisis of our Democracy | |||

I'd have to say if Dems sweep, that I would be frustrated to watch any attempts at "reaching across the aisle or consensus-building" instead of pushing the pendulum back as far to the left as possible. The Right has used every tool available to them - legal and not!

Months ago I said one of my fears of RBG dying late in the term GOP pushing through a candidate at the last minute is that court packing will go from a fringy idea to mainstream within the Democratic Party. I’m not open to the idea at all. Game theoretically, there’s no equilibrium point other than status quo. I’m too much of an institutionalist to want to start down that never-ending path.

Collins said today that the President elected on Nov. 3rd should pick the next Justice. But that doesn't quite say she'd vote against a Trump nominee. And that's only one anyway. | |||

We can't play by different rules than the b@st@rds on the other side do. The only way out I see is if the saner elements cut a deal ... no nominee now, no vote to kill the filibuster later. | |||

None of the “rules” matter if the Democrats do not win both the White House and control of the Senate.

I imagine this was deliberately leaked:

Well, I may disagree. The system seems broken, and we may need to invent some new rules until there is enough sense on the other side to sign a new "democratic treaty." | |||
