    That’s pretty strawman of you. Assuming he’s operating in bad faith; how does appointing Judge Jackson stop the ratchet effect? That’s what we’re talking about here. I happen to think he’s operating in good faith, just to his donors instead of his constituency. But the effect is the same, holding the status quo that the GOP sets. Why hasn’t Mayorkas purged ICE in an attempt to reform it? Where are the wide ranging investigations of the human rights abuses that were so well reported during the Trump administration? Biden’s goal was never to bring things back in line, it was to keep the lights on and keep the money flowing to the donors. Some of whom run private detention centers.

      No, we were talking about how the two parties are exactly the same. If they are exactly the same, Trump would have the same reason for picking justice Jackson as Biden. So what is that reason?

        I understand that’s your straw man. But that’s not what the other people in this thread are saying.

          That is not my straw man, that is exactly the order of the conversation. I was told both parties are the same, I asked if that was true, what Trump’s reason for picking Jackson would be.

          No one has come up with an answer.

          But one person has tried to argue with me in this thread that Harriet Miers was a feminist and sent me to some Christian website to prove it, so that was amusing.

            You know we can just read the thread right?

                The ratchet effect isn’t the same thing as saying they’re the same. It’s saying the Democrats have no interest and have taken no action in rolling back Republican abuses.
