Unless Preet Bharara gets appointed in his place.

Oh man, that would be so much fun.

Sounds like a Preet doesn't want the job.

Zephyr Teachout is exploring a run for the position in the fall. I'd vote for her.

Two DSA members in Pittsburgh won their Dem primaries for House Rep seats, and they don't have opponents in the general election this fall.

WaPo headline: "Energized Democrats settle crowded Pa. contests, back women two years after Clinton loss"

You really need to hope that RBG doesn't die before you can get these shitheads out of power.

This terrifies me.

Losing the Gorsuch seat was criminal. And you know the right is just salivating at the idea of taking the Ginsberg seat.

I'm pretty sure Ginsberg is a cyborg that can't be killed by conventional weapons.

For the first time, Mitt Romney has publicly shared the person he voted for on Election Day 2016: his wife, Ann Romney.

The former Massachusetts governor and 2012 Republican presidential nominee revealed his vote Wednesday in an interview with the editorial boards of the Deseret News and KSL-TV in Utah.

Romney, who is a candidate for US Senate in Utah, had previously said he would not vote for President Trump or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but he had not shared the name of the person who did get his vote.

“I wrote in the name of a person who I admire deeply, who I think would be an excellent president,” Romney told the editorial boards in a response to a question. “I realized it wasn’t going to go anywhere, but nonetheless felt that I was putting in a very solid name.”

I read about him last night. Just... wtf.

[bojanglesman]

Unbelievable that he's so brazen about something so disgusting.  He's about to have a world of excrement rain down on him from the public.  He's not some anonymous dark web dude now.  I can't imagine the police won't be able to find something to arrest this dude for.  He needs to be in jail ASAP before someone else gets molested or hurt.

How long before Dinesh D'Souza endorses him?

HAHAHA CRIMINAL!

Out of curiosity, where do you get this hyperbole from?

I love the idea that parties in power shouldn't operate from their position. The GOP had a Senate majority, they were wholly within their right to not let Garland take the bench, especially considering his views on the Heller decision. As some clown with no remaining legacy once said, "elections have consequences."

Now, should they have granted Garland at the very least a confirmation hearing? Probably.  But considering the result was a forgone conclusion, and how such a hearing would've been portrayed by a media completely in the bag, why bother?

By the way, the sooner that intellectually bankrupt fossil gets off the bench, the better off we'll be.
