There is talk of once again allowing congressional earmarks as a way to foster bipartisanship. I rather like the idea, although there are are plenty on the Internet who don't.

Your thoughts?

Earmarks 2.0

Oh boy

I'm very torn on this one. I get the argument that it will allow for give and take. It is not the system or method I would have chosen, but it is the system we have.

Might be a way to keep Blue Dogs like Sinema and Manchin in line and make Collins think about doing something useful.

Eggzackly--give them cover to vote the way their constituents want them to.

From what I can tell, their constituents want them to lick McConnell’s boots.

Collins in particular does a great job of it while making sure it appears that she doesn’t enjoy it.
