I believe Patrick Mahomes owes me $1 Million in cash for visiting KC in December 2019 right before the Super Bowl. Since I'm the ultimate Super Bowl Good Luck Charm and KC's SB victory made him the richest athlete ever.

If Biden wins then 2022 could be a wash but 2024 could be a red wave. Bad map for Democrats and they got lucky in 2018, hanging on to a couple by the skin of their teeth + Sinema likely to be a one-term senator (AZ will ultimately be purple, not blue). As long as the Republicans don't nominate a...

You're exactly right; I am going with the flow of Trump winning, and a 2006 like thing happening to the Senate in 2022. Biden wins the WH, and a wrench is thrown into the typical eight-year (really, sixteen-year) US cycle... and the Republicans probably hold and gain Senate seats in 2022 and...

Maybe Brees finally goes back to the deep ball with his star possession receiver on the shelf for a few weeks? tbh

well, that was one reason, the other being the more obvious not having 5 reliable liberal votes + 2 50/50 votes and only 2 reliable conservatives. Even if Garland was a 50/50, that would still be a strong advantage to the Democratic ideals. toomey, portman and ron johnson are dead in 2022, hence...

Meh, Roberts is the same way honestly. I don't know what causes judges to turn to the left after they get in. Because liberal judges never seem to turn to the right post-appointment.

No. Obama had the authority to make the nomination, and he did. But McConnell and Co. had the authority to confirm or reject, which they exercised the power to do so (reject).

They were both GOP appointees and both belonged to the Republican Party.

Roberts was a bad pick all along. Gorsuch is more conservative but not quite like Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh.

Regardless. The Dems enjoyed 8 full years of Senate majority, at points a very healthy majority. The window was 2007-2014 and they did replace two Republicans (Souter and Stevens) with two very liberal Democrats (Sotomayor and Kagan). The GOP's window only started in 2015 and will likely end in...

Well, that was the truth. Poorly disguised, and, he (and MSM) opened up a bad can of worms/precedent by talking about "election year" when the real reason was "senate majority".

Election year is irrelevant. The Senate didn't confirm Garland in 2016 because they had the Constitutional right not to, since the GOP had the majority they said no to Garland. Theoretically they could have still said no to anyone Hillary picked if Hillary won but the GOP retained the Senate...

NC/Tillis will vote in favor of and no reason that would hurt him. Only in Maine and Colorado but those are lost seats to begin with.

fixed

speaking of 2013... the Dems have nary room to complain about the Merrick Garland/Scalia episode in early 2016. McConnell is right... this is NOT the same or analogous to Garland/Scalia. The Republicans had the Senate in 2016 and by Constitutional law can accept or reject anyone. The House of...
