^^^^^
what in the serious **** was that thing? Car was doing 150ish and blew past him like he was standing still.
That's only 90 mph. :wink:

If they keep this up, I will actually vote for Clinton in November (and I don't want to do that). I'm generally ambivalent when it comes to politics outside of drug reform, but the GOP's stance on this is so patently ludicrous and transparent that I'm in the same boat. Between this and the primary ...

I mean right now Obama is in the process of closing Gitmo without anyone else's approval, so why would he let McConnell stop him?
He can't do that, it would be illegal for him to unilaterally close the facility. That's why the plan was sent to Congress.

But let's not act like McConnell is under some "constitutional" requirement to hold hearings and the like.
He's not under any obligation to have hearings; before 1968 there had never been a public hearing on a SCOTUS nominee.

If Anthony Kennedy is the "moderate" right now, he'll actually make it 6-3 until he dies/retires.
I'd be shocked it Kennedy was anything less than a reliable R vote from here on out. And 5-4 is a helluva lot better than 6-3.

They are going to lose in November regardless, so I am not sure what the "catastrophe" could be. Doubtful Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 82 and has had cancer like 17 times. She's not likely to serve beyond another couple years, so that's already one appointment for the next POTUS. Kennedy is 79, and Breye...

Also, if this were any other Justice but Scalia I don't think there would have been word one about deferring the nomination. Republicans are in the unfortunate position of having lost their biggest ideological ally on the Court on the other team's watch.

And the people decided in 2014 when they gave the Senate to the GOP, which is the part Warren leaves out, for obvious reasons. The reasons she leaves it out is because no one is disputing that the Senate plays a role here. The controversy exists because of a failure to accept the results and conseq...

The Constitution requires that the Senate "advise and consent" to the President's nominee. No more, no less. The Senate not holding hearing is perfectly in keeping with the letter of the law.

Qualifying will remain as a one-hour session, split into three segments, but drivers must be on track throughout each part until they get knocked out. Details on how the new qualifying format will work exactly have yet to be decided, but the general outline has been agreed. Q1 will now last 16 minu...

Sanders is a fringe candidate because the majority of Democrats don't want the democratic socialism lite he's selling (though I suspect most would have no issue with the top bracket moving from 39% to 50%).

Do you really believe that if Sanders wins a majority during the primary process, and the super delegates overturn that, that there won't be a riot at the convention and long term consequences for the party?
Nope.

I would recommend not seasoning if you're going to be cooking for that length of time; season after post-cook searing. Salt can begin to break down the texture of the protein after an hour or so, which can lead to a mealy consistency. But if you liked it, who am I to say anything.
