War ain't over yet.....I won't live to see another liberal supreme court.... ;D ;D


"...She’s a Justice for now, but we can impeach Amy Coney Barrett — if the Democrats are brave
This isn’t the end of the fight. But if Barrett does what we all fear and uses her position to stop a fair election, Democrats are going to have to be more forceful than they were during her confirmation hearings..."

"..If Barrett does indeed rule against the rights of voters in the days leading up to or during vote-counting — refusing to recuse herself from decisions that would clearly amount to a quid pro quo for Trump’s re-election — Ornstein’s suggestion is precisely the required hardball Dems need to play to delegitimize the extremist justice and preserve democracy.

By voting against the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and interfering in state’s electoral practices, Barrett’s rank duplicity will be unmistakable — as will the fraud of her purported conviction in federalism and state’s rights.

This is when Democrats need to pounce on her ethically and legally dubious approach — to serve the interests of the Republican Party rather than uphold the law — and make the argument they were right about not seating her. Any public support for the nominee-turned-justice will crumble. And while there will not be a 2-3 majority to convict in the Senate, Pelosi and House Democrats can swiftly impeach her...."

"...It is on this basis that a potential Biden presidency and Democratic Senate will have leverage to add a Justice — a tenth Justice — to begin the process of balancing the Supreme Court. It would be politically palatable if Barrett’s appointment had enabled a plot to destroy the legitimacy of the election.

After a new Justice is added by a simple majority vote in Congress and sworn in, there can be more comprehensive study, as Biden has promised, of new plans for the Court: term limits, additional appointments, and recusal rules. But the Democrats need to recover — not in months and years, but immediately — from Barrett’s appointment. And they need to think about why they failed so catastrophically to stop it from happening in the first place...."

Rand is no Ron.
Ron wasn't that hot either, all he did was complain and campaign.

Supreme Court says Wisconsin votes must be counted by election day...
"He's Down to Steal This Thing": Kavanaugh Parrots Trump Mail-In Ballot Lies as Supreme Court Bars Extension of Wisconsin Deadline

From the article: "Kavanaugh is announcing to the world that if it will help Trump win he will join a decision to not count votes."

The U.S. Supreme Court late Monday delivered a victory for the Republican Party by barring the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin from extending its Election Day deadline for the arrival of absentee ballots amid the pandemic, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh issuing an ominous concurring opinion that echoes President Donald Trump's false narrative on mail-in voting.

The 5-3 decision along ideological lines—with the court's five conservatives in the majority—blocked a request by Wisconsin Democrats and voting rights groups to revive a federal judge's ruling from last month that would have allowed mail-in ballots to be counted if postmarked by Election Day and received by November 9, a six-day extension of the current deadline of November 3 at 8:00 pm.

Trump to make COVID-19 vaccine free for Medicare, Medicaid recipients

Hah__LMAO it would free to these people anyway

It’s like Trump bragging about ventilators and setting up extra hospital beds. That’s the type of **** literally any administration would do in a pandemic. He then went on to whine about people not being grateful and then just gave up for the rest of the year. He even accused hospitals of selling PPE out the back door because he doesn’t know what PPE is and couldn’t understand why people were ordering more than they usually do. He had no idea most of it is supposed to be single use after each patient.

conclude
First of all, the Democrats have never been brave, only vengeful and second of all, you can't conclude that this election will be fair.

Aren't you hypocrites always talking about female empowerment and having more women in positions of authority?  Seems that works the same way liberal "tolerance" does.  You people are only tolerant and only want women in positions of power if they think just like you, lol!  Funny how that works.  You liberals are frauds and just fascists.

Liberals don't like independent men or women.  They want drones who all think am just like them, which is the antithesis of being strong and independent. 

Strong and independent is me telling you fascist libs you are cruisin for a bruisin.
