I respectfully disagree. I don't want my Supreme Court Justices to be activists.

Heh, heh.

Or non-jurists.

Yeah, the fact that AOC doesn’t have a law degree might just be a tiny speed bump on the way to making her a United States Supreme Court justice.

A law degree is not a prerequisite; less than half the justices have had a law degree. The last one was Justice Stanley Reed, who served on the Court from 1938 to 1957.

Can someone explain for the rest of us how McConnell can keep Senate Repub’s united against increasing taxes on the wealthy and big corporations, increasing the minimum wage, and maintaining voting rights — all hugely popular — while Biden and Schumer can’t get senate Dem’s to unite for these?

Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love.

Justices Obama. I’m sure Michelle won’t mind if Barack is seated first, then her second.

I wouldn't mind that.

I'm so fed up. Every day McConnell puts a chip on his shoulder and says "I double-dog dare you to knock it off" and every day the Democrats say, "Oh dear oh dear what should we do?" For God's sake.
