I will definitely start to celebrate, and break open this special bottle of champagne I’ve been saving, when the Supreme Court makes the ultimate decision. Until then, nothing is certain, but I kind of like that the states are taking some initiative here.

Janet: I am totally with you. But Alicia Norman, God bless her, wants us to celebrate the moment.

New Year's Eve, I will open the bottle of 4-Roses fine bourbon and mellow into the New Year with Colorado and Maine being two of my favorite places -- the breathtaking Rockies, whose godly beauty I breathe in during walks on half-a-mile paths in the peaks; the coast of Maine, near where I spent my toddlerhood in the late '40s and early '50s, and where my beautiful wife, Nancy, and I (married 50 years!) have spent some romantic days on the beautiful coast.

Yes, 4-Roses, a fine taste, will put me in mind of Colorado and Maine, and the New Year will roll in slowly.

Thank you, Ms. Alicia Norman!

So glad to have “love child“ brought to mind again. I had forgotten what a great song it is.

The older I get, the more hopeful I get. I can't really explain it. But people are sick of Trump, including the Supreme Court (other than Thomas).

It’s good to know some attorneys use their knowledge judiciously, with common sense, rather than politically, counting imagined angels dancing on the head of a needle.

Gives me hope that we may just survive this yet!

I wonder if removing the stink bomb from the ballots might actually make the MAGAT crowd more dangerous. The idea the election is dishonest is, in their minds, and make them even more deranged and violent. Maybe the MAGATs need to see him lose in grand fashion to wake up!

They already think that. It doesn’t matter how much he loses by his followers will believe that it was rigged. You can’t make them more dangerous or start to ignore parts of the constitution because it might make some people mad.

The way I kind of look at it --the ay re already dangerous and violent--tip toing around them won't make them less so, no more than tip toeing around an abuser makes them less abusive. We can only defeat them if we refuse to fear them.

Charles M. Hissom: Your worry is well placed.

I know a lot of MAGATs. They are a cult and will not be moved by anything like logic or plain sight.

Agreed--how do you preach logic to the illogical?

But they vote! On a level, they know it is all bullshit otherwise--why vote? They are awful and the cognitive dissonance on MAGA voting while thinking their vote will not count is inexplicable.
