The strategy seems to be working, and working well, @EyeDentist …

For the moment. But it won’t work forever.
Blind squirrel and all that, lol.

I’m not defending them, but they’re at least making a last stand. An establishment dem just lost his job to a Bernie Sanders on steroids in New York because they refuse to adapt too.

There is no fight yet. Nobody has been nominated. But it is time for Roe v. Wade to go the way of the dodo.
Hell, even Jane Roe (Norman McCorvey ) switched sides.
That’s a much larger sign than people who attempted to shut her up, could possibly appreciate.
But it’s not even on the docket. People are panicking about something that hasn’t even been brought up, at all. It’s downright silly at this point.
We don’t even have a judge yet. The panic is premature.
Oh yes, please. I would love to see her lose again. I wouldn’t be able to contain the laughter.

Can you list the cases before the SCOTUS that are dealing with your paranoia?
In the strictest sense, that is true, Pat…
But plans off attack and defense have been drawn; trenches have been built; anti-personal mines have been lain; pill-boxes are filled with small-arms and bullets; anti-tank placements are in place…and both sides have amassed their troops, waiting for the moment…
(I think you get my point…)

Yet, in the end…I think Trump gets his nominee…
It won’t matter as much as people think. In this country money talks. If a group of dinosaurs think we can bring back the 1950s they would be wrong. There is no money in it.
There are three branches of government.
Both parties would like to influence or control all three. Nothing new about that.
The judiciary has always been sort of a hedge/ hope against lost elections, for both parties.
I’m no legal expert, but I don’t see R v W coming up before the Supreme Court again. If that issue comes back, it will likely be related to the state’s ability to regulate the when, how, and where. These issues have never gone away. As you guys will recall the recent one where states like OK have attempted to effectively restrict access, particularly in rural areas. Or like this more recent one in AK.

Unrelated to the new justice nomination process, but I couldn’t be more thrilled about the outcome of the Janus case, giving workers a choice about union dues. That was a HUGE win for the First Amendment. It’s something I’ve long felt was very wrong. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Actually pretty happy about this one as well.
Has there been any talks about a secondary pay scale or how comp is handled? The HR people are going to have a field day if they get to start negotiating raises 1on1 with the people that don’t opt in.
I don’t know the details of how it will all fall out, pfury.
About 7 months ago I left the company I was at for the staffing company I’m at now. Was basically my jump to “Corp America” from a small company. The chatter around Janus started picking up a couple months ago.
Internally there’s been talks of explicity restricting wingmen for comp talks. Things like unions and trade groups usually supplement the average persons lack of knowledge on what a job is worth.
Gonna be a good pickmeup for us given how low unemployment is

I don’t think it’s time to panic yet. Even the president has said Roe v Wade is not going to inform his decision.
I get what you are saying, but I think the hysteria is media driven.
If Roe v Wade isn’t on the chopping block it would also be time to panic, just for the GOP instead of the Dems.
Hysteria is pretty much always media driven. It’s great for business and Americans love to consume it haha.
This is something I find myself constantly reminding people. People are sooo consumed with Trump, they forget he’s a president not a king. We have checks and balances, he cannot do whatever he wants.
It falls on deaf ears, but I would think it funny if not sad.
Some folks are so consumed with him that they are miserable. Determined that they will bring him down.
The sad part is he has no idea who these people are. They are making themselves miserable by being mad all the time he’s just skipping through the WH, happy go lucky absolutely unknowing of such people consumed with hate.
The FF created the government so one person could never have all the power.
I couldn’t stand Obama as president, but I wasn’t consumed with hatred for him. Hell, I don’t even dislike him as a person; I think we’d personally get along if I knew him. I just hated his policies and decisions as president.
I predict a rise in heart disease among anti-trumper’s in the next few years.

I am all for gutting it. So to me, I hope the panic is justified.
The fact that the demographics of his district changed out from under him probably played a role as well.
Speaking of that race–have you watched one of her interviews? She’s very engaging and open–not at all angry or defensive. I have to say, I’m very impressed that someone so young, and who is such a political neophyte, can be so poised. That said, I do wish she hadn’t attached the label ‘socialist’ to herself–will be nothing but an anchor for her (and the party writ large).
Who?
