Bang Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 As i recall, the largest balloon in 2008 was Obama actually adding the cost of the war to the books, which if i recall right, had not been done in the previous administration. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, something that was the fault of the Bush admin but that actually happened largely in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Awesome, so not only did Trump get to nominate a judge he shouldn't have been able to, but now the court is going 6-3, with Ginsburg on deck to go next......a 7-2 Conservative leaning court sounds like a great way to to hand this country off to my daughters.

Ugh. It will still be 5-4. Kennedy is a Reagan appointee. The 5 will just be significantly more conservative and no potential swing vote on privacy issues.

DogofWar1 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 37 minutes ago, Cooked Crack said: If America wasn't in serious serious trouble before, it is now. The present SCOTUS is already inclined to chip away at free and fair elections. Gerrymandering keeps being declared a-ok, suppression is upheld, and the end result is that the minority that won in 2016 will be able to further and further consolidate their power, even as they shrink further and further. It is possible, not guaranteed but also not necessarily improbable given recent elections and current trends, that we have seen the last election where a majority of voters will win a majority of seats in any federal branch of government. And even if Dems somehow overcome the huge systemic advantages that the GOP will now lock in, they MUST do it in a census year to ensure that boundaries can be redrawn fairly or else once the wave subsides and they go back to winning popular votes by smaller percentages the GOP will go right back to winning with increasingly smaller minorities due to unchanged gerrymanders. And of course the failure of the high court to protect against suppression of voters is equally troubling and really the only potential path to success once that's allowed is to never elect anyone who will vote for voter suppression laws.
