@Sheep_Overboard So is Mitch afraid that he'll never get past St. Peter at those pearly gates or does he fear what history is doubtless going to say about him:
"He was a masterful politician whose greatest success was in engineering the first steps towards the destruction of American democracy." #MitchMcConnel #Putin #Russia

My earliest recollections of #SCOTUS rulings date to the mid 1960s, along with both family and classroom discussions of rulings such as Brown vs Board of Education and Loving vs Virginia.

I never dreamed that #SCOTUS would provide cover for a #WannabeDIctator. Silly me, I sort of beleived what I was taught about #ChecksAndBalance. That was before #MitchMcConnel set the stage for the behavior described below (with a nod to #Biden and his supporting role in the appointment of #ClarenceThomas). #sigh

The umpire who picked a side: John Roberts and the death of rule of law in America

Mitch McConnell voting with dems against RFKjr?

Whoop-dee-fucking-doo!

Fuck him.

He's that uncle who molested you then leaves you something in his will so he'll be remembered kindly.

Jack Smith’s Big New Jan. 6 Brief Is a Major Indictment of the Supreme Court

The newly unsealed document contains the most detailed evidence of Trump’s attempts to subvert the election yet.

Slate

Simplicity: this guy broke longstanding Senate procedure and denied Barrack Obama two nominees on the #SupremeCourt.

#Joe doesn't need to change any laws. He simply nominates two justices to the court right now, and pushes them through the Senate.

It is within his purview, and totally legal – and, though it would break recent precedent again, it would do so less egregiously than #MitchMcConnel did in denying the 44th president his deserved nominees, creating our present chaos.

Our best hope to stop the war in Ukraine is at the negotiating table

Encouraging Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal, while securing our own border, is the truly innovative idea.

Izzat why they keep voting for #MitchMcConnel? To keep him out of a nursing home?
