For her, the arguments against segregation and sexism were linked.
Lately, a few US freethinkers have been rediscovering this, advocating for intersectionality. Being a proper humanist/social justice warrior is about being pro-equal opportunity for all classes like women, PoC, LGBT+, etc. not just because it's the right think to fight for, but also because discrimination against women, PoC, LGBT+, etc. are linked in many ways.
Or to put it in Cliff notes it's the old wisdom of hanging together to avoid being hanged separately...
Republicans. So they replaced the legendary Thurgood Marshall with a black man - Clarence Thomas - and dared Dems to vote him down. So now they are promising to replace RBG with a woman. Curses! Yay, I guess. But then you realize, well, Michele Bachmann is a woman, for example. So go from there on expectations of who we will get. Antonin Scalia acolyte and former clerk, who's young enough to destroy democracy for 40 years? George Costanza voice: "Is that cynical?"
From a few ponies I read, she should have retired in 2008, at the start of the Obama years.Which is nonsensical on so many levels...
And yes, you pointed, by 2016, it was too late.And I just realized. Retiring on a election year, saying "Bye! I'm retiring now, I'm planning for a total disaster for my democratic friends this coming election".Yeah. Really something to do.
And Murkowski probably has done the math, and wouldn't be making a stand if there was a chance it would make a difference. Playing both sides of the aisle is what she does best.
Are they the ones with the flamboyantly yellow legs? Mazel tov. Thought about calling my four new Orpington girls after the justices last year but given the high mortality rate we've suffered with ovarian cancer in our flock I didn't want to jinx Ruth.
Our main aid here would be too many GOP Senators being busy running to vote, which Mitch would be VERY unlikely to let slide. Or Coronavirus. Like, if one of the ones on the committee got it and had to quarantine.
i'm going to respond to this the same way you responded to me, but i'm going to do you a courtesy and actually explain myself."why don't i know who you are?"you've been on this site for a long time, and have said a lot of things. when someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Hillary lost because she was a uniquely horrible candidate. Untold millions of Americans were repulsed by her. All Susan Sarandon did was point that out. Anyone who's still blaming her (or Bernie) is a coward and a fool.
The DIVERSITY of the American society dictates that the SCOTUS be expanded by at least 3 more seats...-

The Lincoln Project@ProjectLincolnUnder no circumstances should a nomination go forward in the United States Senate.
And there have been no reach arounds.
Thank you for penning this fine tribute, JLC.
Yup. Ditto for Collins.

Well, I'd love to believe that. But I really, really doubt it's going to be the case.
"okay i guess you must be pro-forced-birth, then."
You dunno who I am though, so why would you say this?
