I think it's self-evident that partisanship in the descriptive sense of hte word not the categorizing into Ds and Rs sense of hte word has gotten more rancorous and intense fairly recently (at least by the political standards of the last half century or wahtever, people were way more crass back in the day).

SCOTUS picks are more partisan in the sense that presidents rely more on written opinions and other stronger indicia of political leanings.

The Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society and Co. have done their work well and upheld their refrain of "No More Souters."

Outside of packing the courts I think the next dem controlled congress should do away with the filibuster in the Senate.

There is more on the line then just the legal murder of babies, aka abortion.

I doubt it.

Why is this so beyond the pale but stealing a Dem seat is not? I fail to see a distinction. Both alter the rules for political gain. I fail to see why you find this power grab appalling and mcconnells acceptable.
