Homicide just means the death was caused by another person. That’s clearly the case here. Too many people think homicide equals crime.

There’s video and he was in no danger whatsoever. Immediate danger is the standard for force for the Capital police. I don’t agree with her being there but her only actual crime was trespassing on Federal property. Still not a good idea on her part.

I am not sure how you would get it started, but I would like to see 9 justices with an 18 year appointment. That way one is removed and appointed with each congressional election (thought about every 4 years, but a 36 year appointment seems like a long time).

Well, it SOUNDED like something Putin might do and Trump might allow, so it was truthy.

That is a good idea also. Pubs can't complain about Dems going scorched Earth on the court when they literally started this immaturity. I don't agree with it, but if/when the Pubs are back in they will absolutely stack the court with more justices. I know because they have shown zero commitment to tradition already.

Bork was a Democrat appointee? Who knew...
