3. I once had a post removed for using those words.

I wonder if Breyer is planning to screw us by not retiring.

4. History needs to be revisited here......

that is quite the appropriate name here: "Neville Chamberlain wing."

What needs to be understood is just how much "reaching across the aisle" and getting your hand slapped should one accept before one says "F-U" and proceeds to do what is right, with or without "bipartisan" cooperation.

5. I pondered, as a lark, if Manchin was behaving the way he is to go down in history like Chamberlain.

.

As it stands, he likes the attention and ability to flex power. That is why Puerto Rico or Washington DC will never see statehood if he has any say in the matter. He'd lose his attention and power and become irrelevant.

Some people like positive attention and some will take any kind they can get, whether positive or negative.

Perhaps Manchin wants to be remembered in the history books too, and commented on DU for the next 150 years.

6. Think Breyer is right that trying to expand the Court is wrong.

7. I somehow feel personally attacked!

8. to those that have had posts hidden for saying exactly this

I salute you

To those that are already preparing to hide this post: ask yourself if the article hits a little too close to home.

9. Total Agreement. This wing will soon be waving papers and exclaim

"we have no voter protections in our time."

10. That's unfair to Neville Chamberlain.
