Federal Judge Rejects GOP Challenge to Invalidate Nearly 127,000 Votes

All but one drive-through voting site in Harris County closed amid Texas legal battle

A Houston-area county clerk announced late Monday that he would close almost all drive-thru voting sites on Election Day, hours after a federal judge ruled against Republican plaintiffs who sought to throw out 127,000 ballots cast by drive-thru voting in the Democratic-leaning county.

In a series of tweets announcing the decision, Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins (D) wrote that he "cannot in good faith encourage voters to cast their votes in tents if that puts their votes at risk."

8 Days Before Election, Senate Confirms Supreme Court Nominee

Would you support expanding the Supreme Court and the Appellate Courts with more judges if Dems win?

It's one thing to claim the courts should be expanded. Would you really want this if it end results aren't your way.

Banks Forgive $287 Million of Trump's Debt

Danni:

Forgiven debt, even business' forgiven debt, is income.

Of course, there are bankruptcy laws (Written by both parties)

Then there are the commercials all the time about getting out of tax debts - pennies on the dollar.

So, don't pay your bills that you agreed to pay.
Then, when it's considered income and you have to pay tax on it, don't.
Then, pay pennies on the dollar on the tax you owe.

All people have the opportunity to try to get money, not pay it back, and get off of paying it.

It's the American way.

8 Days Before Election, Senate Confirms Supreme Court Nominee

Expand the seats on the Supreme Court
Expand the seats on Appellate Courts
Expand the seats on all the courts.

It's time that every court start with at least 20-50 judges. This way, one judge doesn't decide a case. There should be a number of judges that are equally taking a side on every issue. This way it's fair.

No one should have their case heard by 12 jurors or a judge. It should be more like 50 jurors and at least 20 judges.

It's not fair using these smaller numbers - or even one.

Jurors should be determined by political affiliation. So should the judges. There should be a litmus test for jurors and judges so we have have a split even review of every court case.

Twelve jurors or one judge may lean the wrong way.

Kavanaugh Argues Not all Votes Should be Counted

Last election, I stood in line to vote. When the deadline came for voting, the staffing at the polling place stood at the end of the line waiting.

When the cutoff time hit, they stopped anyone from joining the line. Anyone in front of the marker was in line timely and would vote.

Mail on time.
