Fishing in a frozen lake It was a cold winter day. An old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line, and waited patiently for a bite. He was there for almost an hour, without even a nibble, when a young boy walked out onto the ice, cut a hole in the ice next to him.

The young boy dropped his fishing line and minutes later he hooked a Largemouth Bass. The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up to plain luck. Shortly thereafter, the young boy pulled in another large catch. The young boy kept catching fish after fish.

Finally, the old man couldn't take it any longer. "Son" he said, "I've been here for over an hour without even a nibble. You've been here only a few minutes and have caught a half dozen fish! How do you do it?"

The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm." "What was that?" the old man asked. Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rarrm." "Look," said the old man, "I can't understand a word you're saying."

The boy spat the bait into his hand and said... "You have to keep the worms warm!"

Trump will have his third Supreme Court nomination by May of 2019.

And they will not budge.

He's giving them the rope.  If they want to hang themselves, then so be it.

Next step is emergency order.  Of course some west coast AG will file an injunction, but once it hits the SC, the law is very clear.  Even the dims have admitted he can do it.

One way to help solve that is to grandfather in sitting politicians, or at least grant those sitting politicians a longer term before they get forced out.  That might buy a few votes, especially from those that only expect to hold office for a just a few more terms.  It is not a good compromise, but it heads us in the right direction.

They won't buy it.

Power is derived from seniority in office.  Take away that aspect and the power base can shift.  They know this.

 This is yet another reason for an Article V convention.
