Ruth Bader Ginsburg's next birthday is March 15th - what else will soon be turning besides her age?

Gives you a warm feeling, doesn’t it?

MrCapitalism · February 24, 2020, 8:24pm

That Satan no longer controls our government? Yes.

DougBH · February 24, 2020, 8:25pm

Obviously why Trump was Chosen.

Thanks to TheDoctorIsIn. Inactive license for First Lady MO is not related to ethic charges. Will update my previous post accordingly.

MrCapitalism · February 24, 2020, 8:29pm

LOL, you believe FactCheck.

TheDoctorIsIn · February 24, 2020, 8:30pm

I believe the Illinois State Bar Association, which lists her status as “voluntarily inactive”.

NickN · February 24, 2020, 8:34pm

That was not what you implied in your excerpt “the Senate will not allow any judge to be approved.”

It probably will become a rarity for any Senator in the minority to side with the GOP majority going forward as it relates to POTUS Supreme Court nominee’s.

Chosen: the meaning literally means one, like a person who is the object of choice. An example includes when we vote someone into office.

“Again”? Did he ever?

NickN · February 24, 2020, 9:31pm

SneakySFDude: Who is this “Did he ever?” If you are referring to President Obama there is information of him practicing law from 1993 to 1996 for a 12-attorney firm called Davis, Barnhill & Galland.

Right church, wrong pew perhaps: GOP senator casts a “single” vote for impeachment…

WuWei · February 24, 2020, 11:01pm

You guessed correctly. Thanks

3 whole years, huh?

NickN · February 24, 2020, 11:30pm

3 years sounds about right, unless you count his time working summer gig’s while attending law school.

Go figure- one such part time job apparently fate led him to meeting Michelle too …

My grandmother was born in Ukraine. Madness!

WuWei · February 25, 2020, 12:13am

He was chooming during law school.

I’ve been in the work force for 45 years. We have income inequality.

amadeus · February 25, 2020, 12:17am

That might change if you were a socialist.

NickN · February 25, 2020, 10:41am

Talk about income inequality…back in Obama’s younger years selling marijuana for recreational use in Illinois was still illegal. Government approved stores within Illinois now operate to roll in the dough. High profit margins are munching away at the competition, including brownie joints baking off the beaten path being smoked out of business. In January 2020 alone the Illinois Dept of Revenue reported more than $7.3 million in cannabis tax revenue and more than $3.1 million in sales tax revenue.

Smyrna · February 25, 2020, 12:11pm

That sums things up nicely and I agree.

DougBH:

conan:

Safiel:

All I said is that McConnell should simply have said the truth. Block the nomination, but be forthright about why.

I have no problem with this, it wouldn’t have effected the outcome of election IMO.

But that doesn’t change the fact that if a seat does open up, he should try to fill it regardless appearance.

I’m not going to hold him to standards that libs have set for conservatives…that’s a weakness that left has been exploiting.

The problem could be if Democrats take the Senate and the Presidency next time, and McConnell rushes in a replacement for the SC. Then Dems would have a basis to claim that they were justified to add seats to the court.
They could do it anyway, but that would be a justification.
Now if the Republicans were to lose the Presidency but keep the Senate, they might be tempted to take and “up yours” attitude if a SC vacancy occurred.

Of course, if the Dems take the Presidency and the Senate, we’re in deep Schiff anyway.

Are we ignoring that most of them have already said they will pack the court?

Bomberfox · February 25, 2020, 3:56pm

So basing on what someone else would have done mmkay.
