    Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...

    From the Hill:

    BREAKING: Democratic candidate Linda Belcher has defeated her Republican opponent by a stunning 37 points to flip a GOP-controlled state House seat in a deep-red Kentucky district that President Trump won by 49 points in 2016.

        To put it in perspective, the previous congressman killed himself amid allegations of sexual assault, among other legal offenses. Of course, he was an Xtian pastor. The icing on the cake is that his widow announced she would run for his seat less than 24 hours after he died - pretty bad optics, there. Makes one wonder if the guy really committed suicide.

            Kennedy has almost always deferred to the bribers. I don't see him doing anything about the corruption of our politics. He really believes that guff about spending being speech, and he bows at the altar of Our Founding Dollars just as nakedly as tools like Thomas and Alito.

            The only hope is it gets his name in large type one more time. He likes that.

              I too see Kennedy as a corporate conservative sorta like Roberts and not like the three nutballs on the far right of the court. Having said that I am counting on his desire to cement a legacy as the most influential justice of the last half of the 20th century and first half of this one. For every stupid decision the guy's made (Citizens United) he's made a terrific one (Gay Marriage). For a conservative, that's about as good as we're going to get. Its possible he steps up on this one as well....

              Yes and its about time Dems start playing hardball on redistricting after sitting around with their thumbs up their arses for the last 15 years on this issue (recall it was Tom Delay who originally started pushing states to not wait for the new census to pass redistricting changes).

                  It's not as massive a flip as it would seem. Despite the district going for Trump by a huge margin, belcher barely lost her election in 2016.

                  Edit: though 0 to 37...Still pretty huge.
