Trump voters who wanted an outsider, Trump voters who chose Bush because he's the kind of guy they'd have a beer, with, they don't want an outsider who is also a bartender.

But it's not sexism. It's something else, not sure I've seen the reasons spelled out, but it's not sexism.

And when the GOP regains control they will do the same thing. Before you know it we will have 27 justices. Nice work.

And what's wrong with that? You're the one who revels in reminding us that politics is a full contact sport. Maybe you should mention the Nuclear Option.

Something's happened to you. Something has changed.

"he offers conclusions without substantial analysis."

Surely, as a lawyer, you mean legal analysis. Not historical analysis.

Your observation is reflective of what history teaches us about democracy. Democracy doesn't rise up from the void through a substantial legal analysis in the first place.

Another thing history teaches us is that democracy has often been forfeit through legal maneuverings. Germany, 1933 is the pristine example. Another one would be Three-Fifths. Hardly democratic to enslave people.

It's almost as if she doesn't have much in the way of accomplishments...

For this standard to materially exist, you need to be able to name some things that other, better, more effective Representatives have accomplished.
Who outshines AOC? Give me the run-down.
What are the big achievements other Members of Congress have pulled off, that resonated with you?

I asked the AI what AOC did. I cut out the fluff. Here are some numbers. She played a part in spending 1 billion nationally and brought in a half billion spending for her district.

Lots of people are saying that if she isn't brining in money she's ineffective, and if she is then it's wasteful pet projects and cronyism. Anyway, here's what the AI said.

Key legislative accomplishments include securing the passage of three amendments despite Republican control of the Senate and presidency:
one that redirected $5 million from the DEA to opioid treatment programs,
another that secured $10 million to clean up toxic military sites in Puerto Rico,
and her work with Senator Chuck Schumer to include a Funeral Assistance Program in the COVID-19 relief package, which has reimbursed over $1 billion in funeral expenses for families affected by the pandemic
Compelling defense contractor TransDigm to return $16.1 million in price-gouged profits.
Assisting over 1,400 constituents with casework, including immigration, Social Security, and veterans benefits.
Delivering $470 million in federal grants to institutions in her district (NY-14).
Leading a multilingual Census outreach campaign that secured over $58 million in federal funding for her district.

According to Democrats black people are too stupid to be able to acquire a photo ID.

I don't think I've heard any Democrats say that, but hopefully you have a link.

Anyway. What's your explanation for why Black people don't have photo ID.
Is it because Black people are lazy?

That would cost money to implement. Too cheap for that.

Nah. Republicans are happy to pay extra, to punish their enemies.

Have you not seen the ICE budget? It's in the hundreds of billions.

Republicans spent several million just to send a handful of immigratnts from Venezuela to Ecuador prison.

"And you naively think that Republicans won't define them, *ahem*, differently?"

Republicans promised Full Release of Epstein Files and have enacted plenty of State level Voter ID.
So no. I don't think they can define those issues differently.
