“Now she can decide against gay people like you. And you’ll go ahead and have clandestine same sex relationships while betraying good and decent and amazing openly gay people. The irony is thicker than your boyfriend.”—Southern Charm personality and South Carolina native Shep Rose, attacking Sen. Lindsey Graham over his hasty confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Rose’s remarks lite-on longstanding rumor that Graham is a closeted gay man. Coney Barrett has a long history of homophobia in her personal and professional life.

I never wish bad on anyone. Pray that Graham is NOT gay. We don’t need that nazi on our side.

That would be nice but unfortunately the rumors seem to indicate that he is a friend of Dorothy. Hmmm wonder why the conversion therapy didn’t work? That’s odd!

If the Democrats make a clean sweep, I think the priority should be to immediately expand the Supreme Court to 11 members and appoint their choice in as swift a manner as McConnell and his cabal. At a later date, the Head of the Court should be subject to vote by his/peers on a cyclical basis.
Then, do what Obama wasted or neglected to do when the ticking time bomb of the impending departure of his double majority due to Sn. Kennedy’s brain cancer, and immediately make indefinite a public option – upon which one could add private insurance. I have several ideas on how to implement that, if he is interested in my ideas.

13. One for each original State of the Union. Wash out this new As**h*** C***** Ba**sa** or whatever her name is and her votes in new left-wing ones.
If you go, go for broke.

We need to exand the court to 13 or more – 11 will still have a conservative majority.

Lindsay is no different than any other self hating closet case that thinks attacking LGBTQ people mean he’s part of the club. The SECOND he loses his seat, none of his old friends will give him the time of day.

Democrats need to learn how to play the LONG GAME to make effective changes….
Also Lindsey is a big old closet case that love to rim dirty cheeks

Democrats seem to think the system should work for everyone, lets work together. Republicans seem to think the system should work for them and stop it until it does, don’t talk to them,

If the Dems get a majority they should immediately do the following:
1. Get rid of the senate filibuster. It has been abused and is doing way more harm than good.
2. Pass the Covid relief bill. The GOP won’t be able to stop it cause the filibuster is gone.
3. Grant Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood. They deserve equal representation. The GOP has refused because they are afraid it will tilt control of the senate – but Puerto Rico has more people that are currently unrepresented than 20 other states – and DC has more people than 2 other states. There is no valid reason to block this.
4. Pass the SCOTUS reform bill authored by Ro Khanna – which basically puts term limits on new SCOTUS justices of 18 years and gives every president a SCOTUS pick every 2 years – and requires the senate to advise and consent. If they pull the shenanigans that the GOP did, and refuse to do their job, then that defaults to approval. It’s fair, doesn’t “pack” the court… and guarantees every president going forward gets to pick at least 2 justices.

i agree on all counts. they have got to get some shit done to make real change. if they get the majority & do nothing with it, what’s the point?
i agree with others who say graham is a closet case- that’s glaringly obvious by the way he acts & votes. he’s got so much self loathing- utterly horrible!

I love this! Great ideas for supreme court reform.
