    No two cases are identical, but simply mishandling classified info can get you jail time.

    And, it she shared info with Sid, or even her daughter, she could face jail time:

    Since Obama took office in 2009, seven people have been charged under the Espionage Act -- all for leaking classified or sensitive information. Five -- Kiriakou, Shamai Leibowitz, Chelsea (previously Bradley) Manning, Jeffrey Sterling, and former State Department official Stephen Kim -- got jail time.

    We're going to compare this to Bradley Manning?

    We're back to this again. Those other people you listed. Was the info classified when they had it? Yes or no?

    So, nominate a moderate just to make the Republicans look worse?

    I don't see it happening.

    For one, if the Republicans cave, you'd end up with a moderate.

    But, also, Dems don't look at it that way. Does any liberal thing RBG is even on the edges of the mainstream?

    She's a hard core liberal, but no liberal would concede that there would be any more rationale to vote against her as opposed to some more moderate nominee.

    Hillary Clinton is not serving jail time. She's just not. Move on.

    No, there really isn't.

    You have a job to do . . . until you no longer have a job to do.

    If North Korea bombs Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, I don't expect people would want to wait until Jan. 20, 2017 to do something about it.

    It's rarely prison if it's "just" mishandling of classified information, without outright leaks. But people have lost their jobs, and their security clearances permanently, for doing what Hillary did.

    This one was pretty recent:

    Which still moves the court left.
