so the new justice was nominated by a president who loost the popular vote by 3 million.
The 49 senators who voted “no” represent 181 million Americans
The 51 senators who voted “yes” represent 143 million.
yeah...representative democracy
Just a side note; when people are upset when their candidate wins the popular vote but loses in the electoral college. https://www.270towin.com/1860_Election/
Thank God for Abe Lincoln.
Maybe if Clinton supporters knew, they would stop griping. But I seriously doubt it.

Tradition is nutty.
Why do you want to deny someone their opinion? What the hell is wrong with you?
It's all about name calling with you, isn't it?
Ask the mods who banned conservative free speech?

No, no usual bothsiderism on this one. This was something out of a pre 1960s past, brought to us by that old dinosaur Grassley and semi senile old coot Hatch. Both can hardly remember what they’re supposed to be talking about; they were just channeling their ancient sexist tenets. However, there are men in their demographic who don’t share their antediluvian views—I lived with one of them for several decades.
Your party, the Trump Party, rests on a base with views of women like those of House Divided. My impression is that it’s doing a good job of uniting women in ways I haven’t seen since the 1960s.
Is it weird that I deleted the paragraph making fun of Fenton for reflexively dismissing "bothsiderism" before posting?

I am more conservative than liberal.
I just happen to think that Trump, and all that comes with him, is the absolute worst thing this country has done to itself.

The "percentage of total posts" info is really bogus. What else is there to talk about? There are no 5 questions from Schmuck, many don't care about football, I (for one) sure as hell never click on the golf thread (subtle jab for laughs), my head is in the sand regarding Adidas money, and we are still 25 days away from tip off.

I may take the time to go add up the totals of the top 8 most frequent posters on the political board to see how accurate that is.
So, what did the data say? Is n=just those selected most frequent posters or does n=all politics bored posts?
