They, wrongly, assumed they would have at least an4 year extension. What the hell are you talking about? It wasn’t about Obama making it a “priority.” He wanted to fill the seats, McConnell blocked it from happening. That thievery led to Trump having more seats to fill. 3 Link to comment

What people keep missing when they keep trying to argue both sides here is who keeps doing the s#!tty thing first. That matters. There probably is a decent chance the Democrats will do it now, but that's because the precedent has been set. They aren't the ones who crossed that line. Unfortunately they can't afford to lay over and play by the rules. At the very, very least they have to make new rules to prevent this from ever happening again - this would be the noble thing to protect this country. The alternative is to play dirty like the Republicans really started to do around 2010. I would prefer if Republican voters would quit being okay with this f#&%ing bulls#!t and vote for better people. I agree with your stance 110% But there is a LOT of prognosticating on these pages as to what the "other side" would do, would have done with the courts, Covid etc. I wish that decorum would become a trending thing again in Politics but, alas, I don't think it will happen any time soon.

The Democrats need to be grownups and enact laws to enforce logical rules. And this is a politics forum. We all vote based on what we think is going to happen, which ideally is informed by what has happened in the past and what is being said and done in the present. 2 Link to comment

Specific to voting rights there will be some big fights about the outcomes of the census and the redistricting(gerrymandering) that will follow. 1 Link to comment

Yep: U.S. Census: On Nov. 30, the court will hear Trump v. New York, regarding whether the Trump administration can legally exclude undocumented immigrants from U.S. Census tallies used to apportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. 1 Link to comment

So you think immigrants here illegally should count towards state representation in the House? Link to comment
