Wouldn't it be more ethical if Harlan Crow simply took Thomas' seat on the Court? No scandal since Crow would just be flying himself around.

Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021. 4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%. In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%. Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

I think what makes the clip of Bill Burr clowning on Bill Maher so watchable is that Burr isn’t an ideologue, he’s a Normal Seeming Guy who sees something happening, in this case reports out of Gaza and US college campuses, has an instinctive “that’s unjust” reaction, then just blankly stares…

Also he means the voting rights act. The civil rights act ended petty apartheid, the voting rights act ended authoritarian rule. By odd coincidence nothing to do with the constituencies that elected them, Republican elected officials and judges have spent every day since trying to destroy it.

There will be a lot more resignations as the horror of what the extreme right in Israel has done becomes clear.
Also look for huge swaths of people pretending they were against what’s happening in Gaza the whole time. Eg: Iraq War.
