The alternative is Dianne Feinstein living forever (she is 87) Roland00 Send a noteboard - 23/09/2020 07:53:59 PM

She is against reforming / removing the filibuster, but also increasing the number of justices on the court.

Also because of seniority rules* she is in charge of Judiciary if the Democrats retake the senate and she is currently the ranking member of the Dems on Judiciary while they are in the minority.

*Rules can be changed of course. But if you are only going to get 1 or 2 seats majority after the 2020 election you can't screw any specific Senate member even if that Senator is screwing the party and the country.

The thing is, their behaviour now, though blatantly hypocritical, isn't particularly outrageous. Legolas - 24/09/2020 09:45:35 PM 522 Views
