A little less horny than I was on Monday, but still fairly horny.
How do you feel today?

Sotomayor is 70. It would be great if the R's gained her seat as well.
JD Vance in 2028 book it.
She's not going to retire just to hand it over to a younger conservative. The other 3 might.
Soon I am going to start a pool on when we predict he will first suggest we repeal the 22nd amendment. You know it's coming...
I feel awesome!!!!! Thanks for asking!!!!!I slept about 5 hours. I have accepted that America is in decline. I think things will get really bad the next 4 years but this is who Americans voted for.
I always remember that this life is just a moment in time. A few decades left.
Keep praying. Hopefully, eternal bliss awaits.
How are you feeling?
Could always be worse. Deacon Hill could still be our QB. I slept great.
It would not surprise me if Thomas retired as he's approaching nearly 30 years on the court. Alito is younger than you think, so I'd be dubious of anything within the next two years for him (but maybe years 3-4). Roberts is still young, and my personal view is that he probably sees trump's election as a dual opportunity: (i) reestablish the reputation of the court by spanking the admin on crazy things they try to do; and (ii) taking the next couple steps in the administrative law area and perhaps state-federal relations area to finish what i think his court will ultimately be remembered for (ie, restoring primary power and responsibility to the legislative branch).
I would not think it completely out of the realm for Soto to retire within a week, in the hope that Biden/Schumer could get a D replacement confirmed in lame duck session.
Thanks so much, I was really wondering what Angel's take was!
Alito's 74. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he decides to hang it up under pressure. Sotomayor isn't going anywhere at 70. She's 9 years younger accounting for male/female lifespan differences.
re: soto, yes true, though my sense is her diabetes occasionally presents challenges/comorbidities (on the physical, but not mental, side).
Either way, i hope every one of them goes out on their own terms, as that's the way it's supposed to be.
AND Brian Ferentz could be running the offense.
I'm actually of the opinion that lifetime appointments are a horrible idea. Single ten year terms that start/end during off years is what I would like to see with a requirement of the Senate to hear/vote within 30 days of a presidential nomination to avoid the nonsense that McConnell pulled. I'd also like a code of ethics with oversight to help avoid conflicts of interest. Giving these people carte Blanche to do as they please is ridiculous.
Shit. No and no. It just just an overall level of mid hornyness.
I think it is a very fair position from a "design" perspective that you can provide the requisite judicial independence via a long term appointment such as that, with removal only on limited impeachment bases, rather than lifetime with good behavior impeachment as we have now.
As to senate confirmation timing i don't know, the senate has its own advice/consent prerogatives as a branch check, and I'm not sure why the exercise of that authority over judges should be any different than for other appointees.
no problem with a code of ethics, but again, i am aligned with self-enforcement
I feel the best ever! America is in the best hands possible.....thanks for asking!🇺🇸
This used to work, because leaders were ethically bound to provide a fair and expedited confirmation process. That precedent was broken when McConnell decided that he just didn't want to do it. That wasnt a branch check and it can't be allowed to occur again.. Wherever the impact of politics can be mitigated from the confirmation process it should be.

Assuming he doesn't croak from syphilis or the next assassination attempt isn't successful.
What would the betting odds be that another Republican doesn't take a shot?
