    Heat are losers. POTUS and I do not like losers. Only winners.

    Fait accompli. Who gives a fuck at this point...why torture yourself thinking that one single question or statement matters. This is theater and nothing more.

    The only thing that will matter now is whether the democrats win the WH and Senate, and if they do, how many 40 year old liberals they want to put on the Court. I am betting 4 additional, but I could see them saying fuck it and going with 6 and saying bye bye to Citizens United. Can't wait to read those pluralities.

    The problem is, the courts depend upon the on the perception of legitimacy. The Republican court-packers are destroying any notion that the court is legitimate. The prospect for our union is poor.

    Perhaps the proper Notre Dame Judges should read" Sentence like a champion today"......

    4:10 got it exactly right. The only question worth asking Barrett is what she believes her Dredd Scott decision will be.
