I'll hafta look at the guy, but, the
Getting Even
thing is just shadow boxing. There's no Real rivalry between the parties. It's All for the Establishment, not the People. Were there Truly a separation of ideology, we would see legislation repealed after the voters got fed up with the B.S.and voted the bums out.
Please note, when a Particularly controversial piece of legislation comes up now, they All step back, wring their hands, and, with much fanfare, they put aside their
Differences
and, bilaterally, For the Good of the People, make the Hard  choices. Why? Because neither party wants to be blamed for the results.
How many Former congressmen live in poverty? Just what IS the cost of Not being reelected? How many times do we see people who were in D.C. go to work for a company that they Were in a position to oversee when they were an elected
Representative?

Anything you have on this guy that would make me like him, or not, post links.

Rep's are hoping for a hail Mary miracle.
Odds are,.. Hillary will be next, and this bird in the hand will be taken away...
Congress 2016?.. toss Up or Worse: 18 Rep, 4 Dem

If things go as expected... there will be a much more Liberal nominee to come.

Not so sure.....
The Clinton's are about themselves.
She would never seat a judge who might take away her power of self.

They would be happy as a Monarchy.

Remember triangulation.....???

Keeps them playing the ends, against the middle, to their bidding.

Watch and see.

I think you are not looking at it correctly.

Look, it took a little kid to tell the king he was butt-azzed nekked  

It is poor judgement, not wise, to seek from one source.
Remember the Clinton's sought out Richard Morris ( won't let me use his name DicX )  to advise them of what their own beliefs did not avail.

She knows her only real chance to be elected was to tap the democrats for a ride, not that she will govern to their demands.

It will be her own welfare and legacy that TRUMPS

Let me try this explanation.....

If a "present" court is lock, stop, and barrel in agreement on any given issue, it would be an absolute.

Clinton does not like absolutes, in leaves them less wiggle room if they need to alter, what it was they said, or did, if it doesn't further her own need.

With a divided court, it is to her advantage then, as an excuse why something did, or didn't get done.

This lady is conniving and manipulating, way more than LBJ even.....
And to her I bet she thinks all things are fair, if it gets her what she wants, for the moment.

Is that any better?

If she stacked the court, and all were in agreement AT FIRST, it would indeed make her better able to circumvent the other branch.
But these folks are pretty much all egoistical and in compition with each other, we all like to think we are right, etc.
but that power will corrupt, and once corrupted it will devour others before itself.
She won't like be told no, they won't like the impingement upon their turf....
It's a very simple study of ego, where their can only be one top dawg....

Even the biggest ship in the world will tilt and sink if it's loading of its cargo is to only one side

It's sorta why we have two party system, and you never hear them say we only need one, why?
It's because upon failure you can blame the other as the reason why.

Gotcha.....agreed  

But one final observation/thought.

Trump is only where he is BECAUSE people are really pizzed.
As with Perot, and the Tea Party, they are pizzed at what the SC is doing to advance a minority (cause) without  equal considerations.

Case in point: Affirmative action. On its own merit, trying to give an opportunity to those who really have had a bad time of it, by giving them a chance at education and a way out and up....

Can't fault that thinking or motivation, HOWEVER, what about the guy who could NOT get into higher education because of financial circumstance, and would have academically won that scholarship if all things were equal, but didn't because the spot went to a lessor academically capable person who won it on race only considerations.

How then can that system, that has been adversely effecting a race, be satisfied with using discrimination, to implement a so called repair?

It's not.

Bernie is right, we need schools available to everyone who wants it.
But that would require the universities, etc, to not operate on profit, etc, and again, we are back to money.

Anyway, the anger will grow, it will not abate, and Hillary is keen on knowing she has to appeal and appease this mob too, or else.

It will forevermore be a part of the political landscape, and as social media grows, and it will, as dinosaurs like me fade away to oblivion, the youngsters will become more demanding about openness to what these hacks are pulling off, without gathering their information from a propagandizing media.
