That didn't take long.
A former Obama adviser set the stage for a potentially nasty confirmation fight in the Senate next year within an hour of the Supreme Court announcing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently completed three weeks of radiation treatment after doctors found a localized cancerous tumor on her pancreas.

Ginsburg, who is 86, has battled various illnesses over the last 20 years. The Supreme Court said in a statement Friday that she “tolerated the treatment well" and concluded that there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body.

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.
“Canuck Ted” the Canadian citizen on SCOTUS?
“I don’t think so, Tim”
compared to what, Axhole ?
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.
He’s likely signalling the end may be near for her.
“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.
oh yes!
************************************************************* 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.
- each POTUS upon inauguration names (without Senate confirmation) 2 new SCOTUS justices, if those two names were published three months prior to the election. If not, such POTUS can nominate two SCOTUS justices, subject to Senate confirmation as at present.
- the number of justices on SCOTUS is fixed at 11, and the most senior sitting justices retire, and if necessary come out of retirement, to keep the number of justices fixed at 11.
I propose bumping the number of justices up to 11 for two reasons:
- Each two-term POTUS would name 4 justices, which is only one shy of a majority on a 9-justice bench but two shy of a majority of an 11- justice bench, and
- I think the justices' terms would be fine at 22 rather than 18 years. So POTUS should nominate justice who are in their 50s, and in good health.
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 Trump’s example).
Axelrod is in the loop. He is definitely foreshadowing.
Yes.
How many times did David visit the island?
And he’s only 48.
NAH; they will say she raped, or used little boys as sex toys.
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.
