Aye, I know - it's just tradition/accepted thinking/the way things are done.
It'll be interesting to see how far everyone's willing to push the idea that, if it isn't explicitly written down in law with no wiggle room, it's fair game to be ignored.

One of the weirder Supreme Court traditions is that of the judges' job for life. Imagine if an arsehole like George Foulkes fluked a seat.

One did, he likes beer.

I last looked at the likely outcome of the Senate races some months back and it was being suggested that a Democrat majority was unlikely.  It is now being suggested by fivethirtyeight that such an outcome is more than 50%.

A Democratic President and a majority in both the Senate and the House would be an opportunity to wind back some of the worse Trump excesses.  Not sure if Biden will have the bottle or will to make radical change; hopefully Harris will.

Their podcast on their Senate poll modelling is quite interesting. Basically the most likely outcome is a 50/50 tie so VP is king.

They had an advert looking for volunteers to man polling stations looking for fraud, "no legal experience necessary" a week or so ago, seems to have been withdrawn. I'd imagine a fair bit of profiling was the idea. At it yesterday...

Latest gaffe from the *** Biden is that on a telecast speech he states that 200 million Americans have died due to Covid, the actual figure is 200,000!

Clown against Clown, it's a fuckin joke.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.  
 

God forbid anyone ever misspeaks.

* Camera pans to the CNN studio on a balmy October Thursday evening, Joe Biden is being interviewed *

"well, y'see, the thing is, in eh, the old days, yeah, way back eh, when..."

* Joe Biden begins to drool on to his shirt *

"things eh, were, eh, a lot more lax, y'know, for instance, y'know, you could eh, have dogs called "nig..."

* statement interrupted by bleeping sound *

"and of course two eh billion eh people died in that war, which was an awful, y'know, catastrophe"

* Joe Biden stands up, continuing his rambling diatribe as the presenter looks on bemused *

"so in answer to y'know, the question that eh you asked y'know, c'mon maaan, I  believe my position on eh inheritance tax, is quite clear y'know"

* Camera pans away as Joe Biden begins unbuttoning his trousers having already removed his belt in the middle of the studio *

Everyone misspeaks every single time they're on television.

All the talk of hypocrisy by the Republicans trying to force their deranged fuckwit on to the Supreme Court before the election is a bit lame, all the progressives would be spitting blood if a Dem president and senate didn't do the same. All they can do is remind voters of what the existing right wing justices and Trump's new pick have said in the past, and put some pressure on wavering senators.

If it was a one off from Biden I wouldn't have commented but his misquotes and gaffes have become a joke which the Trump team are continually attacking, albeit falsely at times but the worry is that if this man became president gaffes like that over telcons to other leaders could be misinterpreted.

Trump btw is no better in articulation as we all know, as was Bush.

And I repeat it's a fuckin joke as is American politics and I cannot in all honesty take it seriously.

I think Merrick Garland was the first case.  While you aren’t wrong in what you say, the statements by Ted Cruz and the other weirdo who’s name escapes me at the moment, in which they specifically said that they could be held at their word (and are now reversing it) do need to be pointed out.  It’s grotesque.
