There is no way they outlaw birth control, they need a much more significant margin than they have at any level of government to even consider such an action
Rural white state loves #ModerateDarling
Since the days of Moderate Chase Smith.
I would argue that this would lead to more protests than the president pardoning himself.
not good for brown if renacci is that close. obama is gonna be in town soon assiting. we need brown to win
Renacci is a mafia fuck boi
I'll leave the country if it ever looks likely that birth control will be outlawed. My daughter won't grow up in the Republic of Gilead.
can someone link to where these emails are? I can't find them on his site and I can't see Twitter
If democrats flip MN-2 and MN-3 and hold their two open Trump seats they'll have a 7-1 delegation from MN in 2018
Walz should provide decent coattails in MN-1 (his former district), too bad the GOP nominated a hometown hero in MN-8 OH WAIT

It wouldn't be outlawed per se...but you would have a dramatic expansion in religious freedom objections to allow pharmacists to refuse to dispense it, and employers to refuse coverage.
Not subtle at all.
Also ya boi is back at it again,

Y'all are forgetting Obama is about to make his midterm debut tomorrow in Chicago. This will be the first time he'll attack Trump directly, no?
No they would likely make it a states right to choose (ironically enough). You got to look backward to get a clear concept of how conservatives like their activist judges to behave. When legalizing discrimination it's easier to make it a state rule and then fight it out there for three reasons. 1) Eventually all the conservative states will outlaw it which is what their base wants. 2) It would be a galvanizing issue they can use to keep winning in those states. 3) it's harder to stop discrimination on a state level than the federal level because they need to fight it state by state. Arguably the only way to stop it is for the federal level to tell them to stop.
It's only in regards Robbing people for big business and corporate interest that they like to make things national. For example breaking unions.
Also I got to just say this again, they didn't need to pick a candidate like Kav to push this through. They really need him to keep the Dems from forcing Trump to be subpoenaed. That is the only goal of this pick. Keep Trump (and maybe even his family) from having to testify in front of the house judiciary committee in a few months. All the rest of the evil was going to happen as soon as they got a conservative 5/4 judgement.
The only tiny silver lining is Kav is such a shit candidate and Gorsuch was such a dirty move. Packing the court is likely going to be treated as a legit option come 2020
Not subtle at all.

Only $50K? Shieeettt
The people who are calling probably don't even subscribe anyway.
All the dumbass rednecks calling the nyt with death threats are going to be getting fbi visits soon enough
Might be the biggest story of the day:

Dems will never do it. They absolutely SHOULD following Garland, but they won't.
I mean, the NYT can't seem to decide if it wants to be an outlet for racist and fascist propaganda or an actual newspaper that reports actual news..
WHYYYY is this still a thing in 2018. I don't know a single person who has one.
I think they will, a lot of bad blood, and a clear feeling by many that the Republicans cheated. Also it would be easier than removing anyone on the court. I don't think they would have after Garland, but this is too blatant.
Also fuck Burt Reynolds died :(
I believe he remains a Supreme Court Justice in jail unless otherwise impeached.
Punish,ent for perjury isn't in the congress hands, though. It's a normal criminal matter. As far as I can tell, it should be handled as if Kavanaugh had been arrested for drunk driving. He can be indicted, tried, and convicted by the District of Columbia, and unlike Trump he has no case for sovereign immunity.
A lot of the first emails were sort of grasping for details... These second wave of emails though....
"We should arrange people in the judiciary where they will help the President the most"
Is easy enough for anyone to read.
Have to work the floor setting up to undermine civil liberties folks!

Depending on the results of 2020, they shouldn't try to "pack the courts", they should just impeach. Packing the courts without anything to prevent Republicans doing the same is very foolish.
Yea, any hope of campaign finance reform for our lifetimes died in November, 2016
Yeah easier to pack the courts and then make a law saying you need 67 votes for future Judges and to Pack the court.
They could also make it a temporary thing and have the number deflate to 9 on the basis of Trump picks being tainted due to his case.
Yeah it could be undone, but everything can. The goal is to undo the damage done by the Roberts Court that has been built in bad faith.
