    This article is wrong. She requested to be allowed to use her own blackberry as well as her aides in SCIF facilities. As far as I can tell she never requested a secure bb.

    You were doing well, until you started talking about Hillary. The reason she only has one opponent, is because nobody wants to run against the Clinton machine. She has the DNC firmly packed away in her purse. That's fine though. She's the only candidate I can think of that ever ran a campaign while under investigation by the FBI. I'm sure it will work out great.

    Yeah, its an interesting point, but I think if trump were in a 1on1 with cruz he'd be getting his ass kicked. Everybody in the country who likes trump is already voting for him. He'll top out at about 35% of the vote in the general against Hillary.

    Watch how quickly this will disappear if the FCC says they are violating rules. And then you wont be able to get video at all unless you pay extra for the data. That's why net neutrality is a con.

    The Senate is proportionally allocated to the size of the state. Just as intended. Two Senators per State. Simple. But because because the 17th fucked with that, it no longer makes sense.

    They are not refusing to vote because they dislike the president. They are refusing to vote because the President is black, obviously. You're stepping out of line.

    If you are an atheist, you should seriously consider adopting a religion of some sort. Your inability to distinguish between right and wrong, and good and evil, is really quite shocking.

    Well, for all the people that wanted more government for the last 50 years, this is what more government looks like.

    And what kind of car they can drive, or gun they can purchase, or house they can live in, or what kind of toilet they can flush, or what kind of light bulb they can use, or what they can build on their property...it goes on almost infinitely, all the choices that have been restricted by "pro-choice" people.

    Actually, Senators have 6 year terms. And it is split into 3 cohorts, so there is a senate election every 2 years where 1/3 of the senate is up for election.

    No, they'll let him hang in limbo. They don't have to do anything. Obama can withdraw the nomination and pick somebody else who has a chance of being appointed if he is really that desperate.

    The nation wasn't designed to have senators directly elected by the people. The senators were supposed to represent the states. Thanks the the idiotic 17th amendment we now have basically two houses of Representatives with different constitutional duties. And the states have no representation. That's why the SC nomination process is so fucked up.

    Climate change is a pretty generic, non descript euphemism that describes the normal state of the global climate. Flux. It should be banned.

    Now imagine that the first time you see the puddle, it is about 1/16" deep. And then the next year it's about 1/8" deep. 20 years later the puddle will be 1.25" deep. And 80 years later as you are lying on your deathbed the puddle will be 5" deep. Only you don't give a shit because it was pretty easy to add some fill and jack your house up 6". All this assumes the IPCC predictions are correct. Generally they have vastly over predicted warming and sea level rise.
