The 2020 thread....

Not Harris, please.  She ran an awful campaign. Showed some poor judgement as well.

I really could be down with anyone except Harris although Stacey Abrams’ popularity befuddles me.

I really don’t lose any sleep over this...just a parlor game


At this point I would be shocked if it wasn’t Harris, Rice or Duckworth


I feel a lot of these stories we read and see are trial balloons to gauge voter and donor feelings about the VP candidates so if suddenly you are hearing more about Rice or Duckworth there is probably a reason to it...nothing is left to chance

I would be legit stunned if it was Rice or Duckworth, to be honest. I feel like those are the least likely of the 7-ish candidates we keep hearing about.

I mean, those numbers are bizarro in a lot of ways. Hillary even being listed is wacky.

I’m just saying I would be stunned if it’s Duckworth or Rice (less so). I HAVE been stunned before.

Understood

No more opinions today....so we wait until tomorrow to hear about Trump's tax returns.
just means 24 hours of batshit crazy tweets from donnie

Umm, not sure what happened with the 5 remaining rulings?

Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley
No Supreme Court rulings expected today. Awaiting word on when the next ruling day will be. Five cases left

Dude, they are really gonna make us wait another day...


SCOTUSblog@SCOTUSblog
No more opinions today. The court just announced that tomorrow will be the last day of opinions for this term. That means we will have an answer on Trump financial records tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.


Today's pair of decisions on religious employers will have broad consequences for workers. According to some estimates, the ruling in Our Lady of Guadalupe means that hundreds of thousands of employees of religious institutions will lose employment-discrimination protections.  And the ruling in Little Sisters of the Poor could mean that between 70,000 and 126,000 women will lose access to free coverage of contraceptives in their employee health plans. That's the government's own estimate of how many people are affected by the expanded exemptions. The decisions are a big win for businesses with conscientious objections to the ACA contraceptive mandate like Little Sisters & "many other religious objectors who have participated in the litigation" whose employees still have the ability to get coverage from alternative sources

I just can’t see them ruling in a way that  is against the president....would love to be wrong

So can anyone tell me why Biden isn't just jumping in feet first with Pot

The Marijuana Superweapon Biden Refuses to Use: Legalizing marijuana is extremely popular. So why won’t Joe Biden embrace the idea?
Democratic political consultants dream of issues like marijuana legalization. Democrats are overwhelmingly in favor of it, polls show. So are independents. A majority of Republicans favor it now too. It motivates progressives, young people, and Black Americans to vote. Put it on the ballot, and it’s proved a sure way to boost turnout for supportive politicians. It’s popular in key presidential-election states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, Arizona, and Virginia. There’s no clear political downside—although marijuana legalization motivates its supporters, it doesn’t motivate its opponents

At a minimum, I hope they do this Biden would move marijuana off as a Schedule 1 narcotic

Maybe he is a bit out of touch...people have changed
