WVTITAN Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Grasserly (sp) is on record saying he doesn’t agree with changing the rules either. So there could easily be four that follow through with what that said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her decision to not step down could erase her entire life’s work. 19 minutes ago, Jamalisms said: I don't know whether or not this will make sense but it's also interesting to me that the same resilience and self-determined and leadership qualities that define Ruth's accomplishments also played into her desire not to step down as she aged and her health deteriorated. I think people will look at that as she failed to play the game. Because, in terms of the political game, she failed by not stepping down during Obama's term, as many expected her to, and now her death may well seal the fate of Roe v Wade. But I think that's the more cynical view and the reality is that she saw the job, determined she could do the job and just continued doing it without sacrificing anything on behalf of a game.

This argument is weak and sn insult to her legacy. This is about voters not taking their responsibilities seriously. Elections have consequences...

Not on here but elsewhere I was posting about how this was all pretty likely to happen on election night. Sucks to see it actually happen. I honestly think it's basically over for Dems.
