If anyone thinks the dems are better than the republicans you will be in for a surprise. They want your guns and hunting rights. Republicans want the money and soon the dems will also to pay for stupid stuff. Both parties. Different ways same results.

You don’t think Alito will retire in the next few weeks? 11% odds on Kalshi.

Let him. A democratic Senate has no obligation to confirm any new nominee. Mitch McConnell set a bad precedent in this area. Dems would be wise to shove it back in their face if they get the chance.

Oh completely agree. But they don’t get sworn in until Jan 3. If they can convince him to retire, they will try to get someone through. The question then will be the loyalty of the R senators.

Gotcha. Hopefully enough R’s see that he’s now a lame duck who’s fading fast and won’t feel like they have to continue to do stupid stuff just because he wants it.

Probably nothing substantial gained and more political football, acting, and pandering.

Responsible balanced use is a dying principle.
