My gut is still telling me not to worry about ACB in the long run. Can't tell you why, but I trust it.
My feeling is that she’ll stand as firmly as her integrity. However firm that may be is yet to be seen.
AMEN! Democrats need to not only take power, but they need to make sure that Republicans are never in a position to abuse their power again. Possible avenues are the following:
1. Pass laws that makes it mandatory for Presidential candidates to release taxes before the election. ...
2. Get rid of the gerrymandering that Republicans have used to win districts. ...
3. Add two Justices to the bench to both punish Republicans for the way they stole two seats and to ensure that the court is evenly balanced.
4. Consider adding DC and Puerto Rico as states. ...
5. STOP APOLOGIZING! ...
6. Consider getting rid of the Electoral College. ...
7. Expand our power. ...
Another law that seems important to add going forward is to require all presidential candidates to be able to pass a background investigation for at least Secret clearance, if not Top Secret. I'd say this should be the case for any candidate running for Congress as well. Do you know if Congress people already have to pass a security clearance in order to serve on e.g. intelligence committees that look at classified information? I'd always assumed they had gone through clearance, but was shocked to learn recently that elected members of congress do not need to apply for clearance.
@fran I watch a video of her swearing in and I swear I saw the White House rotting and crumbling behind her and Trump. This time I wasn't sleeping, I was wide awake.
She's the GOP Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man - chosen by the GOP to be the form of their Destructor. (It's a Ghostbusters reference.)
Aside from the Commander's Wife on SCOTUS, has anyone received anything regarding Clarence Thomas. He and his wife are setting my spidey sense off. I think he's ill.
@jeanne-mayell Yes... I feel he plans to contest the election and have it go the court to be decided. Hopefully that is NOT going to happen.
He has been quite clear that is his intent : https://politicalwire.com/2020/09/23/trump-says-supreme-court-will-decide-the-election/
PamP,
Ripped my heart out. I can't bear the thought of Stay-Puft associated with the GOP, covered with their green toxic fascist goo.
Lovendures must see this and I can't wait for her to respond. ?
That’s so funny I’ve had ghostbusters pop up in my mind a lot lately... was thinking of gozer just the other day!!!
Oh gosh, judicial impeachments and constitutional amendments would require 2/3 of the Senate (or the states, in the case of amendments), and would almost certainly fail for the same reasons Trump's impeachment did.
I would say the best things a pres. Biden and blue Congress could do to rebalance things in the first year is to recognize DC and Puerto Rico, and to pass a comprehensive federal court reform.
As for the electoral college, that seems more likely to happen by interstate compact, which doesn't require DC or supermajorities.
@dannyboy I have the same gut feeling, but as an empath, I am having to take a break from the news and social media, the explosive reaction drained me almost immediately.
I saw a piece of an interview with Anita Hill. She was asked if she would work with Biden . I have to find the clip . Her response was something like - you have to work with who’s in charge and if it’s Biden so be it. Anyone see this interview? She looks very different now. Modern/ almost hip. So to say. Since I saw it she has been on my mind... The irony of that - Clarence Thomas... crazy . Maybe she’s going to replace Thomas.
not psychic - just wishful thinking. It certainly would please Biden.
