5. Amazing the difference of how Justice Barrett was questioned as a Mother but Judge Jackson was questioned as a black woman

6. Silver lining - Manchin signals support for confirmation so should be a go

7. 538 - Public opinion is in favor of confirmation

1. Buy or Sell : John Fetterman, Lt. Gov. of Pennsylvania - is the absolute model Heartland POD candidate

1. He is doing well in the race - https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/599666-how-fetterman-is-pulling-away-in-pennsylvania

2. As LT. Gov he has been working on wrongful convictions

3. Side note: great website https://johnfetterman.com/

4. Joined Big Brothers at age 23, winds up joining Americorp, getting his GED and eventual his Masters in public policy from Harvard, started a GED program, then became mayor of his town for 13 years before, officiated one of the first same sex marriages in the state, and opposed a new highway going through his town on grounds of environmental racism

5. Pro legalization of MJ and not at all shy about it “the idea that we have allowed a plant to be illegal in this country is absurd”

2. The Big One - Are we in a cold civil war?

1. We have talked about project blitz - but one thing we have not really touched on is the way it’s being used to pass what amount to federal nullification laws

2. State’s rights arguments are flying around

1. The distinction of local control v. states rights

1. Voting Rights restrictions

2. Anti-trans rights bills

3. Gun laws like SAPA in Missouri

4. State laws to contradict federal laws in trade, forien policy, just about any category you can imagine.

3. Attacks on schools that teach based largely on the principles of federalism - even through the white washing of the civil war and the South’s war effort based largely on Slavery as the motivator doesn’t do justice to the brutality of slavery it DOES cheer on a President that suspended habeas corpus and intended to use federal power to take property and redistribute it
