Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

If marriage is the equivalent of selling yourself into slavery, women with self respect should reject the offer.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Motown is Joe-Town!

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

    Actually they’re filibustering him both because his views are extreme and because they haven’t been able to find out his views… but they’re extreme.

    Yes, this is quite ridiculous.

    And very good point, HH.

    John, btw, are you a teacher or a student? Or both?

    Just wondering…

    Estrada isn’t nutty. He just isn’t to the left of Ruth Ginsberg. I don’t like Estrada’s views on many issues, I just don’t like the minority party being able to subvert the process. Vote him up or down, and get on with it.

    That’s how the system is set up. There are any number of ways in which majority rule is flouted in the US. The Senate itself, for example. The ability for judicial nominees to be blue slipped by a Senator from their state. The ability to bottle up a bill or a nomination in committee. Do you want all of these fixed? Would you support a unicameral proportional representation legislature? Would you support direct election of presidents?

    Ramsey Clark wasn’t nearly so strange then. The current Ramsey Clark wouldn’t be confirmed as a postmaster, we all know that.

    Actually, Walt, I am not sure what I want done. I really don’t think Estrada represents the viewpoints I would want on the court, at the same time, I enjoy watching the Democrats engage in such petty and childish behavior. Likewise, the amount of time wasted on this means they will have little time to do more destructive things- like pass legislation.
