#1 Been there nearly 24 years, never mentioned a change to the Electoral College system before. What brought this on ?

#2 "I wish there were a way I could wave a magic wand and put it back when people were respectful of each other and the Congress was working for the good of the country and not just along party lines."

Translation: Why can't we just get rid of the center/right so those of us on the left can do what we want?

#3 Never forget Obama's admission as he left office, and I'm paraphrasing - "My greatest failure was I could never convince the Republicans to see my point of view..."
For eight years, he and the media were berating the Pubs for not compromising, when he meant, 'not surrendering to my superior point of view.'

#4 Three quarters of the small states are not going to surrender to one quarter of the major metro states. It'll require a SCOTUS coup to happen. That's the day you can scratch the name 'United States' from the books.

#5 There are some things I would like to change as well.

Like your continued existence in this dimension.

If 'only the good die young', she'll live forever.

#10 I dislike her judicial opinions, but I rather like the old gal. You talk about Die Hard, Pancreatic and Colon Cancer! Her close friendship with Scalia weighs in on my opinion of her as well.

#11 What brought this on?

Dems are mad that she did not have the common decency to die when they wanted her to, so she's trying to show them through her dementia that she is still one of them.

#12 The four libs vote in lockstep. This is called "good jurisprudence". When the conservative judges vote in lockstep, this is "partisan gridlock". Shut up you partisan haggard old biddy

#13 Her nostalgia is for the FDR Coalition (Unions, Elitist Liberals and Southern Racists) stranglehold on the US Government, back before the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Act splintered their coalition? Heartwarming...
