Paul Ryan spoke on her behalf when she ran for circuit Court of whatever the freak.

So do I think if he did so again, could it get her a single vote two or three? I'd imagine so

Her husband  is irrelevant

I don't think "the right" will support her, but she only needs a handful

I think Murkowski and Collins vote for any realistic SC nominee. I think Manchin does too, for that matter. I'm completely out of my depth predicting what Sinema will ever do. No other Dem will realistically vote against a Biden nominee. I don't think being Paul Ryan's n-law will really play into it one way or another, except as vague reassurance that she's part of the in-crowd in terms of national politics.

I do wonder how many red flags it'll set off with the left that she's married to a white dude, and is related to a former Republican speaker of the house

If you consider black women being structurally disadvantaged a problem, what is a better way to address it than making a point to give the best of the best of them opportunities to represent themselves at the highest levels after ensuring that they go through a similar career progression as other previous justices?

If you don't consider black women being structurally disadvantaged a problem, do you consider it an inherent contradiction that in a nation built around the premise that all men are created equal, and a judicial system built around the premise that we ought to be judged by a jury of our peers, that out of 115 justices in the history of the supreme court, there have been a total of three non-white justices and five female justices? And that has no impact on the quality of the Supreme Court to accurately apply jurisprudential philosophies that reflects the reality of the population at large?

Also, do you consider it problematic that Reagan promised to place a woman on the court during his presidential campaign of 1980?

This is also true.

How Republicans Can Block Stephen Breyer’s Replacement

https://time.com/6142711/joe-biden-supreme-court-nominee-mitch-mcconnell-stephen-breyer/


They updated this article to state they were wrong.

Quote
Editor’s Note: The original version of this story incorrectly stated that Republicans could use Senate rules to block a Biden Supreme Court nomination. It was based on the author’s incorrect analysis of a May 13, 2021, Congressional Research Service report. The Senate will require a majority of votes to approve Justice Stephen Breyer’s replacement, not 60 votes.

re: Infrastructure Bill and the Pittsburgh bridge that collapsed this morning

Tweet of a service request for that very bridge from 4 years ago. Thread is pretty hilarious.

https://twitter.com/gpk320/status/1078885655634157569

TLDR:

Pittsburgh Guy: Hey, there is a rusted out support x beam on the bridge

Pittsburgh: K *removes rusted support beam*

Bridge: *worked out naturally from there*

Outstanding work.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/31/politics/fact-check-thomas-massie-voltaire-neo-nazi-criticize/index.html

Good to see this scumbag propagandist twink still has a job post-Trump.

Amazing how he's pivoted from fact checking the Presidents every word to harping on irrelevant republican reps.

There's way too much reading to go through all of this

But to me the biggest red flag is the 140 million in options.

When politicians start throwing around hundreds of millions in options you have to think some real fishy shits going on

By 'outstanding work' I assume that was in reference to the post above yours and not that CNN dork.

Way too much reading?  A tweeted graph you could read inside of 10 seconds, a facetiously grandiloquent phrase accompanying a bobbing motorboat with funbags?...where's the "TL;DR" here?
