@jastreich @Nanjimo @timpri21@FPWellman That’s true, but right or wrong, there’s are a lot of things adopted by Congress and society that weren’t intended by the Founders. That said, I agree with you on the anonymous filibuster. The voters have the absolute right to know the positions of our elected officials.
@joncoopertweets It’s so so sooooo sad what people will do for power. SCOTUS nominees will lie under oath for power. Trump & his ilk will say & do anything no matter how cruel & hurtful, no matter how big the lie, for power. Where does this end? Is there any decency left? Any?
@Nanjimo @timpri21@FPWellman Ppl get very touchy on Twitter so let me just state ahead of time that I respect your opinion & whatever your politics are be they far L or moderate or whatever. I’m just giving you a perspective. This country needs more respectful debate & sharing of ideas.
@Nanjimo @timpri21@FPWellman Just b/c they don’t agree w some legislation or the filibuster doesn’t mean they aren’t Dems. Many Dems agree w them. Midterms will be lost bc moderates (largest faction of Dem party) don’t like progressives far L push & Biden’s adoption of it. It’s a big party w differing POVs.
@timpri21 @Nanjimo @FPWellman No precedent is ever truly safe, that’s always been the case. SCOTUS overturning precedent (Roe) is legal, so I accept that. What upsets me is nominees lying during confirmation under oath (ex saying Roe is settled law), bc SCJ’s committing perjury under oath is a HUGE problem.
@timpri21@FPWellman To pass a law they need 2/3 of House & Senate to vote for it & it’s rare for a party have 2/3. D’s def don’t have it now & won’t after midterms
OR 2/3 state legislators most vote for it & most are R’s now so it won’t happen. Btw no amendment has ever been chosen by the latter.
@FPWellman Maybe. It makes more sense a Dem SCJ did it tho. What would a Repub have to gain? Nothing as it’s coming out in June anyhow & would motivate Dems. A Dem might leak to motivate voters ASAP for midterms. Idk who did it, could be any SCJ or a clerk even. But Dem makes more sense.
@DianeE_NJ @FPWellman That’s is how gov works. Elections matter. Yes McConnell stole a seat, but if D’s won the Senate it wouldn’t have happened. If Dems voted Hillary & not 3rd parties/not voting, we’d not have 5 SCJ’s. SCJ’s can impose their will, it’s how our system works. Elections matter.
@13phoenix1@JohnZim73164987@QuoteDigging@OccupyDemocrats I see. Ppl are so mean on Twitter I jumped to conclusions. That’s my bad. Perhaps we all have to widen our views-you, me, all Americans. We do need to understand each other better, that’s clear in today’s society. Anyhow, I see you meant well. My apologies.
@Blueresister1@ThinkJoMice That’s an AMAZING dream! Hope you get that soon 🙏🏻. We adore our Maltipoo. She’s our heart & very spoiled. My mom had a Yorkie. Wonderful breed. I ❤️ animals!
@SquishyBanana4@ninaturner@MittRomney Yes smarter populous is beneficial. College needs to be more affordable w no more super high interest rates. It’s so high tho bc some don’t pay their loans. The college can’t pay their bills so the price goes up. If Biden erases debt for current borrowers prices will skyrocket.
