The real stupidity comes from the dummycrats who still try to distance themselves from zerobama while voting with him 95%, 96% or even 99% of the time. Do these dolts think that people can't find out or don't know how they voted. You really know that they are beat when selquiff starts posting his doomsday scenarios for the day after election day. |

Nah, they'll still blame liberal judges in the courts. Or if everything gets messed up, accuse the Republicans of being RINOs. It worked before. :-S |

Funniest part of that all is that the majority of judges on federal benches are theirs. They blocked the democratic nominees throughout. And with Obama in there, they will continue to do so. Gotta love attrition as case backlogs continue to go through the roof. |

I thought I read somewhere that with the rule change in the Senate where the Republicans can no longer filibuster many appointees, the Democrats have been practically flooding the court benches with new judges. |

That is because the alternative is harmful. Building the Keystone pipeline through environmentally sensitive areas will do more harm in term of cost than crate jobs, and when completed will only require about 100 permanent positions to operate.....until it leaks at unknown cost and lasting consequences. It is a bad investment and does NOT deserve tax subidies.Their Jobs program is a FAIL. RW economists, your own tribe, are in agreement on this. |

There were a couple of circuits (like the D.C. Circuit) which were close and filling open seats would give nominees of Democratic presidents the majority. Although that does not necessarily give a majority on each panel, if there is rehearing en banc it means on issues that are essentially divided on political party, like PPACA or Abortion restrictions, the Democrats will have a majority |

And of course, can't have that. Besides ... anything of real political interest gets snapped up by Scalia and friends anyway. :-\ |

Ginsburg wants out in the worst way, but knows that a replacement will never get past the Senate. And so she stays. |

The blockade has been in effect since 2009. She's resigned to the fact that she's going to be removed from the bench on a stretcher. |

But if they try to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee that would be political suicide especially if you are talking about replacing Notorious RBG with another "Liberal" nominee. If Scalia or Thomas was to drop dead and President Obama nominated Goodwin Liu there would be more political cover, but not in this case. Resisting PPACA can be defended, but hard to claim you are not obstructionist when you are resisting like for like on the Supreme Court |

That may be, but they've got nothing to lose now. The GOP isn't sane anymore. Their way or the highway. And the low information voters don't care. I mean ... look around here. They'd cheer a filibuster because 5-4 isn't enough for them. Crushing defeat or bust. |

I have yet to see the new one - I am told it is fairly humorous and fairly good - as I have not deadheaded on Mainline in a while. I hit the PA switch to see if the safety video is finished before interrupting it with the required "Flight Attendants, please be seated for departure" announcement as part of my Before Takeoff flow approaching the runway. Houston and Philadelphia tomorrow with a 30+ hour layover - I need to find me a pub and enjoy a raw afternoon per se of college football. |

Yet you still act like an idiot around him.I think you're trying to tell me that you act like a spoiled child all the time and have mistaken people's polite toleration for acceptance. I'm the only person who's actually called you on it and told you to grow up, so I'm the only person you have a "problem" with. |

You have demonstrated a complete lack of self-awareness so your insistence that everybody likes you means absolutely nothing.You're just upset that I won't tolerate your childish behaviour with a smile or go find a forum that bans people who can't stay civilised. |
