  • Most likely you’d have to allow the sitting president to appoint an acting justice to serve out the remainder of that justice’s term. Yeah we’d still have the problem of RBG dying under Trump and giving us a 6-3 conservative majority, but if she only had a few years left on her term when she died the damage would at least be limited.

    As for what McConnell did to Garland, having term endings scheduled would make that a lot harder. If their terms are staggered such that they always end 1 year and 3 years into each president’s term it destroys the argument that it’s too close to an election and the people should get to decide who makes the appointment. They’d be forced to outright deny the nominee and let the president try again. That’s much harder to maintain.


  • I’m so oblivious that I wouldn’t even get to the step of overanalyzing the lyrics. I would have just thought “Oh they think I’d like this song? Let’s check it out,” and that’s it.

    I’m so oblivious that multiple times my partner tried to initiate sex by trying to make out and get handsy with me and I completely missed it. If it’s not explicit “You. Me. Bed. Now,” level direct then like 95% of the time I miss it.

    One day my partner got so frustrated with my obliviousness that she asked me flat out if I was asexual or something. I had no idea what that was but turns out yes, yes I am.

    Funniest thing to me though. When it’s directed at me, then I’m totally oblivious. But if my partner sees an attractive woman out and about and starts visibly thirsting even a little I can tell immediately.
