Do they, the medical establishment, consider a 5 year survival rate to be a cure? I believe that to be the case. But don't quote me.

The dems and the media will probably accuse Amy Barrett of being a white nationalist.

One-year survival rate is 20%.
Five-year survival rate is 7%.
RBG will get the best possible treatment, but that is not terribly relevant in the case of pancreatic cancer.

As if Kavanaugh didn’t “tear the country apart.”
As if EVERYTHING the Dems donor propose doesn’t “tear the country apart.”
We are in the midst of a cold civil war started by radical Dem Marxists that is tearing the country apart.

Barrett adopted two children from Haiti. How might that affect her thoughts in regards to immigration issues? Where do Catholic charities stand on immigration and borders?

Catholic Judges in Capital Cases

Document Type Article
Publication Date 1998
Publication Information 81 Marq. L. Rev. 303 (1997-1998)
Abstract The Catholic Church's opposition to the death penalty places Catholic judges in a moral and legal bind. While these judges are obliged by oath, professional commitment, and the demands of citizenship to enforce the death penalty, they are also obliged to adhere to their church's teaching on moral matters. Although the legal system has a solution for this dilemma by allowing the recusal of judges whose convictions keep them from doing their job, Catholic judges will want to sit whenever possible without acting immorally. However, litigants and the general public are entitled to impartial justice, which may be something a judge who is heedful of ecclesiastical pronouncements cannot dispense. Therefore, the authors argue, we need to know whether judges are legally disqualified from hearing cases that their consciences would let them decide. While mere identification of a judge as Catholic is not sufficient reason for recusal under federal law, the authors suggest that the moral impossibility of enforcing capital punishment in such cases as sentencing, enforcing jury recommendations, and affirming are in fact reasons for not participating.

“Tear the country apart” so therefore it is incumbent upon Republicans to surrender without a fight.
It won’t really tear the country apart, but it will drive the democrats and leftists insane with rage.
Then, they will claim that the country is going insane, and the vortex of venom they create is merely the cool voice of reason.

....Lifetime in office is a flaw in the Constitution in 2019. ************************************************************* In the late 1700s, Wigglesworth estimated life expectancy in the mid 30s in Massachusetts in the late 1700s. Recently, Becker estimated life expectancy in the 1700s to be around 40, using data on people who attended Yale. In addition, Fogel notes that members of the British peerage had a life expectancy of only about 40 years in the late 1700s.
Agreed. My preferred Constitutional Amendment would state that
In any event I feel strongly that the opportunity each POTUS gets to shape the court should not depend on such vagaries as the health and ego of an octogenarian. Note the pressure the amendment would place on a POTUS candidate to be upfront about his SCOTUS appointees, before the election. Like Trump did in 16 (but my suggestion of the above amendment long predates Trumps example).

Axelrod is in the loop. He is definitely foreshadowing.

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?
JOHN R. LOTT Jr.
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (download links for whole document at bottom of page)
September 1998
University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999
Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

At least this time around we won’t have to worry about crying jack@ss Jeff Flake.
And, because our numbers are a little stronger, Lisa McCowshitz will be negated.
I think Collins is still pissed and will vote with us again.
