Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 30, 2026

At a time when the country's political parties are moving ever further to the extremes, and hysteria marks much of our discourse, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is a breath of fresh air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. He's a Democrat. But in the past few years, Fetterman has defied current political trends and prioritized what he thinks is best for the country ahead of partisan tribalism. Take, for instance, his nuanced stance on what's going on in Minneapolis and the Trump administration's efforts to deport illegal aliens. After two American citizens were killed this month by federal immigration officers, the U.S. senator has demanded consequences.

Two political parties.

If you have five members of each party, the vote would be 5-5 because representatives must vote according to party.

If SCOTUS always votes according to political leaning, then it too is a problem.

Demanding a party member to vote one way because the party must stand together to wrong.

Represent your Constituency. I'd say represent your State, but the House represents the people and the Senate used to represent the State. Nobody represents the States within the Fed.

Reverse the 17th.
