Well: Among the most eye-catching was a statistic showing Democrats led Republicans by more than 12 million votes in Senate races, and yet still suffered losses on the night and failed to win a majority of seats in the chamber. Link Some Americans. Also: Not since the Watergate scandal have Democrats run up such a large margin of victory in midterm House races, NBC News data showed.
With votes continuing to be tallied more than two weeks after Election Day, Democrats hold a lead over Republicans in the House popular vote by more than 8.6 million votes. link Might have some difficulty changing the constitution to allow more than 2 senators per state, the actual argument presented. Not eye catching at all, since every one knows population isn't equal among the states. All I was doing was addressing the statement "... the American people decided ..." with evidence of what "... the American people decided ...".

In the US, the American people deciding comes with a constitution. I thought that was a given, sorry.

It wasn't unconstitutional, like now, the Democrats didn't have the votes in the Senate. Quite simple actually. McConnel loves the US and follows what his constituents want. You might want to learn how to spell your hero's name. MCCONNELL LOVES HIMSELF HE ALSO LOVES POWER PATHETIC Do you know how to spell 'filler'. Now I have to move a couple of posts down again... Mc'Connel does what his constituents want him to do. He was also voted in as majority leader in the senate. Fist pump here !

One name presented right here for the Democrat hypocrites, since we're going some years back... John F Kennedy. Trashing JFK? I expect nothing less from you... JFK was one of the best presidents ever ! A good Christian man, a Catholic ! We need more in government like him... Amy will get the job done with no liberal political activism... Quote; P resident Donald Trump nominated Barrett to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2017, and the Senate confirmed her on October 31, 2017. Before and while serving on the federal bench, she has been a professor of law at Notre Dame Law School, where she has taught civil procedure, constitutional law, and statutory interpretation.[3][4][5][6]en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney_Barrett

I completely agree, whoever thought McConnell wasn’t gonna install an extreme christian that is going to shit on women’s rights and burn down the establishment clause was dreaming. I’ll leave a quote from Barry Goldwater here, he called it over 30 years ago: “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.“ One name presented right here for the Democrat hypocrites, since we're going some years back... John F Kennedy. I’m not a Democrat, next.

Just change the Republican to Democrat to get the full effect for JFK. Goldwater called it alright.

A little bit of musing over the recent past has come to mind. Being a retired war dog, formerly in the business of producing/designing weapons, I have plenty of business colleagues which I'm still in contact. You can call them national and international contacts. I sometimes think about all the slamming of Trump, for his somewhat disjointed approach to the pandemic. I also think how I was already hearing conversation about the spreading virus in China, during last years Christmas/New Years holiday socializing. If I can catch early wind of the virus, I think our executive branch was also very much aware. I would say impeachment proceedings over mostly partisan nonsense, really affected the executive response, don't you think ? The proceedings carried on right into the beginning of February, the exact time a response should of been hammered out. Denials will fly of course, there is no way this Trump lover could of heard about the virus at such an advanced date, when it was actually starting to spread. He's full of shit about his contacts. With all the smarts, as it's sometimes said around here, didn't anyone notice the timing of the starting of this thread, about Federal judge appointments, just a few days before the announcement of RBG's passing ?

One of the presidents jobs is to nominate a new judge for the Supreme Court when necessary. Now that it has been expedited, the Republican controlled Senate will move to approve the nomination. All's that is required for this is the votes in the Senate. The posturing from both sides of the aisle, in the media echo chamber, has been deafening.

Since I refuted your original premise implying I was a Democrat you are now backtracking and it’s kind of fun to watch you try to dig yourself out with a poor attempt at humor and condescension, definitely not your strong suit. Please keep going though, your responses to everyone today are popcorn worthy. I think all religion is ridiculous but Barrett’s “People of Praise” views are straight up straight jacket worthy.

And so it begins. Quote; WASHINGTON – The Senate may vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court just days before Election Day, according to a key Republican senator, making for a potentially dramatic ending to the 2020 campaign. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. who leads the Senate Judiciary Committee – the panel tasked with vetting judicial nominees – said four days of confirmation hearings will begin Oct. 12 and that the committee should clear Barrett's nomination by Oct. 26. That would leave the full Republican-led Senate with roughly a week to confirm Barrett in the final days of the presidential campaign. The committee released its plan just hours after President Donald Trump nominated the appeals judge to the high court Saturday, underscoring Senate Republicans' aim to quickly place another conservative justice on the bench before Nov. 3. Democrats have been trying to delay the vote in hopes Democrat Joe Biden defeats Trump or the Democrats retake control of the Senate. While they can use some arcane procedural methods to attempt slowing down the process, Democrats are unable to halt the process without Republican support.www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/26/amy-coney-barrett-senate-confirmation-hearings-begin-oct-12/3521902001

There's another good post right above this one.

I would watch

There will be some squawking from the left, mostly in a complicit, mainstream media type of format. Don't see it doing anything to stop it however.

I’ll explain, The Man in the High Castle was an Amazon Prime show that showed an alternate history if the axis won WW2. Kennedy didn’t lead to a religious right takeover of the Democratic Party so it would actually be a pretty interesting show to see what that America looked like had he done so. Don’t think it would be a hit though and would never be a storyline approved for something like that, it wouldn’t sell. Already offered my opinion on the confirmation process in my original post, McConnell will push it through.

I voted for trump in 2016 with the priority of him promising good judge appointments. Never did I think he would do such an excellent job in fulfilling a campaign promise. He's been so effective in his first term, a second is not needed by my perspective.

You’re missing out, I find forecasting models fascinating on all kinds of things, it’s a big part of my job. A huge piece of that is analyzing history and what happened and also throwing different scenarios in to see how it could have turned out differently. You may wish Trump won a second term if the Dems are in a position to add two justices. I actually admire Mitch’s mastery of Senate procedure and ability to jam things through recent precedence be damned if it accomplishes your goals. My advise to the Dems would be to quit being weak and get in the game. Mitch absolutely would do so if the shoe was on the other foot.

It's only as good as a persons ability to create fiction. Change is the only constant state, that fact is boring to me. If the Democrats get some nominees in there that's fine, keeps things in balance.
