While Senate Democrats tried to slow down the confirmation process of Trump's third Supreme Court nominee with various procedural maneuvers, the fact that Republicans control the Senate has always meant a Barrett confirmation was all but promised. "The Senate is doing the right thing. We're moving this nomination forward and colleagues, by tomorrow night, we'll have a new...

Originalism is a mode of legal interpretation by which a judge considers a legal document’s original meaning at the time the document was written.

Just got done voting in PG county MD. The most liberal county in MD. Some observations. It took me about an hour to vote. Line wasn't as long as in 2008 and 2012. The election worker initially gave me a paper ballot. I had to request to vote electronically. So they sent me to another line. Was that necessary? Also. There were a lot of electioneering going on past the sign that prohibited that.
