We. Are. In. A. Constitutional. Crisis. Get it?
If there's EVER been a time when revolution was necessary, it's NOW. Republicans are acting like they OWN the supreme court and they have decided that they don't have to follow the constitution and confirm a replacement justice.
Again, this is a crisis. If Sanders can pull off a revolution like he claims, now is the time. Not January of next year. Because at that time, it could be Ted Cruz making the appointment.
But, by all means, continue laughing and mocking away.

(29,257 posts)to pressure REPUBLICAN congress people to allow Pres. Obama to appoint an SCOTUS judge?
If your understanding of what "revolution" means in the context of this race is so simplistic, so facile, so unconsidered, then I am not in the least bit surprised you are backing the established candidate.
But I do wish you would try a little harder to think.

(910 posts)doubling the minimum wage? Pressuring republicans? I haven't seen Mr. Sanders put pressure on anybody. I'd love to see it!
Bonobo
(29,257 posts)How is it that you imagine that a Senator from Vermont would have applied the kind of pressure you describe?
Have you thought this out at all?

(910 posts)I'm surprised you don't see that. Between the constant threats of default, government shutdowns, and now their pledge to delay delay delay... yes, we're in crisis.

(7,908 posts)Republicans control the Senate and have full power to obstruct as they see fit. That's what elections are for.
Now Iran- Contra, that was a constitutional crisis, where the Executive branch broke the law of the land (no funding for the Contras).
This is just politics.

and Bernie has some things that Hillary doesn't have:
The Highest approval rating in the Senate
NO enemies on the Hill

JackRiddler
(24,979 posts)the real premise is that Republicans can be defeated through elections.
The Clinton camp has altogether given up on that idea. Going by how they talk, seems that at best they think HRC might win. But certainly the composition of Congress and state legislatures will never change again, so that must define the bounds of the "possible."

Aerows
(39,961 posts)where I had this chair and it levitated and floated towards whatever location I wanted to go to via bluetooth.
I could swing my feet along as I soared 3 feet off of the ground and there were commands I could give either via the dial pad or via voice.
It was kind of fun.
I wonder what in the hell that kind of dream means.
Or maybe I don't want to know, I'll just enjoy the dream.
