She's not up again till 2022. This will be forgotten.
I am amazed that people still think D and R are meaningful labels. Both sides love cronyism, big government, the warfare/welfare/surveillance state, and out of control spending. Both sides vote for the NDAA, the Patriot Act, and continue to (at best) pay lip service to the original intent of the Constitution. It's a choice without a difference.
And it matters not which side a judge claims to be on, the SC constantly puts it to the People with wrong decisions. There are too many decisions to list. Pick one. You can probably demonstrate its incompetence by comparing the decision with the language of the Constitution.
The greatest lie is that the SC is the final determiner of the Constitution. The Constitution CREATED the SC so letting them decide its meaning is like saying one's employees decide their own jobs. Hamilton discussed fundamental law theory concerning superior/subordinate and explained that the subordinate can never define the superior. So why the heck do the people let the SC decide what the rules are that the People set FOR THEM and the government?
Ah yes, the Uni-Party. My late Senator, the RINO McCain, was a perfect example of the Uni-Party. Spend as much as you want on your pet projects, let him spend as much as he wants and they all become millionaires by some miraculous and shrewd investing. :eyeroll:
Some folks contend it doesn't exist.
I imagine those folks believe the earth is flat.
Murkowski always struck me as being a senate seat-warmer. Until now I've never seen where she "shook the trees". I imagine her phone is ringing off the hook now as Alaskans are letting her know their sentiments.
I fear an actual "no" vote by here will end her political career in Alaska. See what happens.
