    Again, I'm just a twitter clown, so feel free to ignore me. But Scott Lemieux has real expertise about the courts. Pay attention to him.https://twitter.com/LemieuxLGM/status/1336908818475708421 …

        I usually defend Democrats- but can't defend her any more than I can defend Grassley.

        I can't defend her, either, but the notion that the hug cost the D's the Senate (and of course we still don't know that the Democrats won't control the Senate) is ridiculous. The D's failed to elect senators in MT, SC, IA etc. because those states went for Trump.

        I think this showed more that Voters and the Media but most Everyday people Just forget about this stuff Especially with Judges because Judges never get re nominated and never run campaigns there really isn't another time to critique them so they fade quickly

        Do whatever you want to get a judge on the bench because people are literally going to forget about the whole thing next week.

        He's also quite a bit further from the far left than you or I are, but Scott very aptly recognizes in this era of politics that tactics are far more important than where you place on the ideological spectrum. Most of the center-left are clueless tactically and he sees that.

        I’m just a Twitter rando but this (Feinstein’s conduct during the hearings) does seem quintessential as the kind of thing this website highlights as Highly Significant whilst the world outside asks Democrats to sharpen their plans on the economy

        the larger questions about gerontocracy are not ones the Democrats have more fulfilling answers to than the Republicans at present!

        There was not a turnout problem with democrats. There was just massive turnout driven by Trump to counter it. You need to study the data.

        So now Democrat loyalists are blaming Feinstein for their downballot losses?
