For what it’s worth, the second impeachment referral from the House to the Senate was a judge, in 1803 for drunkenness and unlawful rulings. Judge Pickering was convicted and removed. The next impeachment was Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase in 1804 for political bias and arbitrary rulings, he was acquitted on 8 articles.
So if they end up being as bad as advertised, there may be a remedy. The question, of course, is would the Senate vote to convict and how bad would their rulings have to be in order to trigger impeachment?

It shows how hypocritical the republican stunt is, before it happened (I wonder if they knew it was coming when they set up these questions).

The problem is, Iowa and New Hampshire both have laws on the books that automatically move their events up on the calendar if someone tries to jump in front of them.
Having IA/NH and NV/SC flip each cycle would make sense. Sort of like the College Football Playoff or the Super Bowl where they rotate the events through venues each time. But, I suspect that Iowa and New Hampshire generate a decent amount of tax revenue from their primaries going first. Lots of people traveling there every three/four years that otherwise wouldn’t.

In other news…I found a dog today. She just came into the county kill shelter last night so she’s not able to come home with me until next Tuesday. I’m actually 2nd on the adoption list, if the other person doesn’t show up when they open, she’s mine. She looks like a full blooded GSD , mostly black, about 7 months old. She’s a complete spaz but very sweet. She needs training and love but that’s not an issue. Our county shelters are doing their best, but it’s so sad. I cried more than once while we were there. And then a couple more times since we got back. I hope I get to bring her home. She doesn’t have a name yet, I’m kind of scared of getting too ahead of myself(yeah, too late). I need to spend more than 5 minutes with her to figure it out. It’s been over a year since my GSD/Doberman died and I truly need a dog buddy right now, so keep a good thought for me and Miss Dog in the shelter. Sigh.
Today is the one-year anniversary of picking up our pup from the rescue org.

I’ve had my rescue wonder-dog for 3 years now. Named him Roswell II the Atomic Pound-Pup. Never regretted it for a minute. He loves life on the farm and has one particularly valuable skill: He can spot feral hogs before I have an inkling of their presence and can even chase them away. He is very fast on his feet and smart enough to run if they turn on him.

I adopted my last pup from this same shelter, I had forgot how horribly loud it was and just how broken some of the dogs looked, the ones that had given up on even barking for attention. It’s the saddest place, we can do better. Congrats on the adoption anniversary! It’s crazy how many dogs and cats need homes and suffer because of it.

My guess is “probably.”
The California case where the state is requiring people running for federal office to release tax returns will probably be a loser for the state - there’s precedent on similar cases. Basically the only ballot access limits are filing fees and limits listed in the constitution.
But in the NY case involves prosecutors using the judicial power of subpoenas, which is entirely different. The States have an interest in enforcing their laws. And nobody in our system has “absolute” immunity.
Still sorting through a month’s accumulated emails stacked up from poor commo on the camping trip. A big part of the spam is uninvited Biden solicitations—far more than any other Dem. The weird part—some are addressed to my real (unusual) last name, but personalized to “Debbie”. Why would Joe’s campaign think I’m “Debbie”?
For the record—We’re not sending any money to any candidate until after the primaries. Not buying bullets for a Dem circular firing squad.

In contrast to just about everywhere else on the planet, Domino’s of all things is one of the finest pizza chains in my current corner of the planet. Yes, that’s right, finest - it’s surprisingly top-quality stuff here, nowhere near like what I’d expect back home. And not because of kosheriety - most of its branches in Israel aren’t kosher to begin with.Makes it rather ironic then that it’s apparently at its best in a country where the state and dominant religion overwhelmingly support abortions…
Domino’s here in Japan is fine. Pizza-la is probably the best IMHO, but they’re all pretty close. This is purely IMHO, but just order from the one closest to your apartment and you’ll do OK.

From the Minutemen who won the Revolution (they didn’t) to the Guns that Won the West (it was numbers, germs, and organization) to repelling the zombie like hordes who will invade suburbia “when the welfare checks stop,” the private gun myth is part of who conservatives are.
