So I heard yesterday that Susan Collins was once the Senator with the highest popularity in their own state and is now the lowest. Like they are just toast. If you leave out electoral success as a motivation, what the hell explanation does that leave? I guess the same one that got Collins to vote for Kavanaugh. Theyā€™re just goddamned awful.

They think of themselves as aristocrats, not as public servants. They donā€™t have a job in their minds (well, other than getting re-elected), they have privileges. Being a senator is their prize. How dare people expect them to do something hard uncomfortable.

Next up - DHS will be directed to find that New York is not compliant with Real ID even for its ā€˜enhancedā€™ driverā€™s license and that New York licenses are not valid to enter US Government facilities or TSA checkpoints. Oh, and not valid as ID when applying for a passport, to stop that workaround.

Following that: extend the travel ban to other Blue States.

And people will vote for him just to get their travel privilege back.

I wish lawyers, judges and government bodies would stop accepting those as magic words to avoid testifying. If they do recall, then that is perjury. Impanel a jury and see if 12 reasonable people believe that they actually donā€™t recall.

Am I reading this right?

ā€œHere, regardless of rigor, our conclusion is straightforward because the membersā€”29 Senators and 186 members of the House of Representativesā€”do not constitute a majority of either body and are, therefore, powerless to approve or deny the Presidentā€™s acceptance of foreign emoluments,ā€ the opinion reads.

You might very well have a case, buuuuut you didnā€™t win enough elections, so you donā€™t get to enforce the law? Is To The Winner Go The Spoils theā€¦law of the land? I mean I get the weird parsing of ā€œtechnically youā€™re suing for injury against congress, and you donā€™t represent congress with those numbersā€ but still. fuck.
