I read an interesting take on Court Packing the other day and why it might actually be unconstitutional.

Article 1, Section 8 provides power for Congress to make all laws which are proper and necessary to carry out the powers in the Constitution. Court packing is neither proper nor necessary and it provides for nothing new in the Court, which functions just fine as it is.

For me, I especially focus on the word necessary.  There is no need for more justices, except to make the Court a political arm of the Democrat party. That leads me secondarily to such an action being improper.

I’m sure at least some of the justices are thinking about potential reasons to reject a court packing law.  Obviously, packing the court would destroy public confidence in it and the law, not that Democrats really care about that. But we all know it is wrong and unfair - is this a reason why? 

"The work that I did (in California) is a model of what our nation needs to do"

So, out of control wildfires across the entire US, people pooping in the streets, rolling brownouts, high taxes, crushing debt, failing infrastructure and onerous regulations infringing basic human rights?

Make no mistake, this is what I expect will happen under a Harris presidency. 

I suspect many know that the city of Chicago has a travel ban.  Travelers from certain states are required to quarantine for 14 days if staying in Chicago.  The criteria for choosing those states is the number of new daily cases per 100,000 residents.  If you go over 15 / 100,000, you get on the list.  Once you've been below that number for 2 weeks, you'll be removed.

I'm posting this not to tell you of Chicago's order, but because in the next week, the state of Illinois will exceed that limit and I suspect Cook County (where Chicago is) will either do it in 1 or 2 weeks.  It should be fun to watch Chicago flop when they discover that Chicago is no longer authorized to travel to Chicago.

Additionally, both Florida and Texas are still well above 15, but falling fast with infection rates of .83 and .94 respectively.  It is probable that both states will be removed from Chicago's restriction within a month but both Illinois and Chicago will still be above their own limit.

Not suggesting anyone would want to travel to Chicago, but they do have a couple of large airports.

Summary

Trump:  we’re going to make Dreamers citizens.

Democrats:  you hateful bigot, Don’t you dare change a thing.

The methods are the same:  Hide your identity, use violence to target those you hate and want to suppress.  Have allies in powerful places to keep your organization "legitimate" and keep a bunch of sheep around to bleat about how great your cause is.

The wear black instead of white.

They target whites instead of blacks.

I grew up in the South when the Klan was being suppressed.  I know who they are and what they do. The next civil rights battle is against Antifa.

The CDC is reporting that the fatality rate for CV-19 is just 0.26%, barely over a quarter of a percent.  Compared to the 0.1% fatality rate for the flu, this is only about two and a half times worse.  But even if you're over 90, the mortality rate is only 10%.  Now, "only" 10% is a really high number...if there was a 10% chance of dying by going flying, I'd be firmly on the ground.  But it isn't the death sentence we've been told by the medial

Almost all of the fatalities fall to those with comorbidities.  If you are under 50 and healthy then your chances of dying from CV-19 WITHOUT a vaccine are less than dying from the annual flu WITH a vaccine.  You are more likely to die in a car crash driving to the doctor than you are of CV-19.

That's based on the data we have.  However, there is also speculation that because of the asymptomatic rate, there are cases we will never know about.  If those cases are understood, the rate will drop even further.

If you are a Leftist - this is not the epidemic you have been looking for.

what's ticks me off here is that I called this thread out early and reported it yesterday.  I told the admins what I was going to write and if they didn't remove the political posts, I was going to assume that the topic was ok.

And now it's locked.

What a joke.

Starting to hear more about Ukraine.  Apparently there's a substantial amount of evidence that the whole thing was about money laundering that centered around the owner of Burisma.  The president's phone call was about this money laundering and people didn't ask enough / the right questions:

What was Crowdstrike all about and why was the president bringing it up again?  Who were the bad people involved with the Bursima affair and what was the Burisma affair all about?  When placed in context, it sounds a lot like the president was asking Ukraine to find out why our previous money had been stolen and could we trust to give them more money.  But Democrats zeroed in on the word Biden and their partisan hatred led them down the impeachment road.

If that's true, then Nancy's pens are going to become one of those "moments before disaster struck" pictures, like that picture of the 49ers being up 20-10 and posing in the end zone with 11 minutes left in the Superbowl.
