I think an "arms race" that forever expands the court -- and thus dilutes the individual relevance of a single Justice -- is a good thing.

A single Justice dying or retiring should not be the sort of thing to reshape the entire country.

In this case, remembering standing means they don't have to double down and rule on abortion itself again.

The answer to, "How do I delete someone else's comment?" turned out to be, "$44 billion."

When I manage to get a time machine, I'm jumping back, grabbing Paul, and dropping him off in the middle of a 70s era orgy. That dude needs to get high and get his brains fucked out.

So you're saying your mom is a bottom? /s

I have frequently complained that the cat doesn't do anything useful except generate poo, and what can I do with that?

My demands to get a job are met with disdain.

Altruism is never going to be the way to get companies to do the right thing. Instead, making the wrong thing a financial liability is.

It's only new-feeling cause it's been 20-some years since we've had a democratic control of most parts of the government.

It's pretty neat, right?

There are no hard requirements for being president beyond those listed in the Constitution:

  1. Be a natural born US citizen
  2. Be at least 35 years old
  3. Have resided in the US for 14 or more years.

That's it. The framers of the Constitution presumably felt being a convicted felon would be enough for an electorate (or the electoral college, at least) to simply not vote for that person.

History will forget her.

How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?
