One bright spot this morning, the Senate. Republicans held it quite easily, at the end of the day it will be either remain 53-47 if the Republican wins in Michigan or 52-48 if we don’t. That means if, God forbid, Biden does win, his legislative agenda is instantly DOA, no court packing, no ending the filibuster, no DC/Puerto Rico statehood, no doing away with electoral college, no socialized medicine, no gun control, no fracking ban, no Green New Deal etc.
No, it means the GOP is going to sell us out. Graham will stab us in the back again. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Guaranteed. Dems don’t need to court pack as long as one of Gorsuch/Kavanaugh vote with them. They still have a 5-4 court with Roberts. The court pack stuff was all GOTV nonsense.
Controlling the Senate is huge and EOs in the face of a textual moderate USSC can be stymied.
Trump is still leading anyway.
“The court pack stuff was all GOTV nonsense.”
Respectfully disagree. The push from the legal crowd on the Dem side (and that’s a powerful group in their party) was a real one. RGB’s death destroyed them. We are talking law professors and activist attorneys in literal tears. Not a chance they would have let Biden avoid court packing if the Senate went D.
John James should be replacing Peters. That’s a senate flip.
