this is even more ludicrous! durbin could unilaterally prevent republicans from blocking nominations if he simply stopped the blue slip nonsense—something republicans themselves won't honor once in power.
this democracy is cooked
congress being on equal ground w/ the judiciary is news to me? (and probably a lot of political scientists) polisky www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
“we handed them a tool to slow down our judicial nominations so now we cannot anger them lest they use that tool (which we can take away at an time but won’t)” is perfect democrat brain
I see this as the learned helplessness of abuse victims.
Which is a great reason for retiring incumbents. I would really like to see more incumbents get primaried. Think of it as an investment in building name recognition for the next generation, if nothing else.
I am getting so tired of the excuse that we can’t have anything nice, because we might upset the snowflake gop. These radical magas are the only minority in this country that get all the benefits.
