    It certainly appears word has come down from the glass box towers at NBC that they have to do everything possible to tighten it up.

    Would have been good if a Dem Senator just started reciting names of justices nominated and blocked by McConnell, Garland is most known, but if that isn't court-packing, skewing the judiciary - i don't know what is.

    If/when the Dems take the Senate - I would love to see them require the body to take ACTIVE measures if they seek to block a nomination. The weasly filibuster, the blue slips, the failure to have hearings on nominees does as much to undermine Americans faith in our justice system - if not more - than a police officer with his knee on the neck of a suspect.

    Let's not forget--in light of Trump's incredible domestic failures/corruption--his foreign policy has been disastrous.

    the media is liberal about how many zero’s on their bottom line.

    She pulled the same shit on peaceful transition of power: “Well, Senator,” she said, “that seems to me to be pulling me in a little bit into this question of whether the president has said that he would not peacefully leave office, and so to the extent this is a political controversy right now, as a judge I want to stay out of it.”

    Answers like that should be disqualifying. Just about everything that reaches the Supreme Court is a political controversy or policy debate. And Booker didn't ask about Trump, he asked if presidents should commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

    The correct response is "At 12:01 p.m. on Jan. 20th, an outgoing President is no longer President and has no authority. Period, end of story."

    This is the part of the election season when the serious people in the party are out on television trying to bring it home. Eric Trump has been on TV the last two days.
