Are they leaning left or right?

So parts of the GOP are going to try the Kavanaugh technique: exhibit righteous indignation and anger, pound your fist on the table really hard and yell super loud.
Except courts of law care about facts, not shouting.
At least we hope.
This. Being on the Supreme Court is a (literally) once in a lifetime thing, about the apex of what anyone who wants to be a judge above the local level can aspire to. The type and scope, too, of the sort of cases that will probably come their way in a Biden presidency will also be more likely to let them make a name for themselves, especially as it they will be able to be seen as defending from the socialists, or whatever. Sure, I guess anything is possible, but you’d have to be pretty dumb to screw with the sweet position they find themselves in now.
Of course, there are a couple on the bench that ain’t too bright, so…
Pennsylvania stats counting the quarantined ballots at 5pm. These are the ballots that had to be replaced after the contractor sent tens of thousands of wrong ballots to voters. I think there are something like 30,000 of them but I’m not sure of that number. But they are almost all from Biden territory so they are not going to break Trump’s way. And they are going to be slow to count, because they have to verify that there isn’t a duplicate vote from the original wrong ballot.

Again, I generally agree with this, but in what way can anyone screw up their position on the Supreme Court? They know they will never be impeached. They have 100% job security no matter how they rule.

I can’t believe the networks haven’t called it yet. Nevada and Penn look like completely uncontroversial calls.
They’re BLUE all the way!

The Constitution would stop him. And, no, not even a 6-3 court is going to allow that.
Yes, as I said to my wife, if there was a single state they could swing to give Trump the win they absolutely would but with no paths to 270 they are not going to engage in blatant fuckery.

What are the major networks waiting for? Are they trying to push it late so that Trump doesn’t stroke out on national tv while kids are awake?

Maybe they’re just waiting for the 5pm A-team or something.

Sad that. Cover their eyes. I’ll get the popcorn.

West coast here, so no escaping that on my end. Kids will be up regardless.
Wow way to ruin a good party, Magasshole. (Them, not you Shiva)
