This is funny. The American Conservative Union gave my boss their lowest rating, along with one other Democratic Senator and a bunch of house folks. He is labeled as part of the "Coalition of the Radical Left." The other Senator they labeled that just lost his primary to a Democratic Socialist.

Updated Cook Political Report Electoral Ratings

Republicans have 188 electoral votes in the Solid, Likely and Lean
categories and would need 71 (100%) electoral votes from the Toss
Up column plus 11 votes from the Lean Democrat column.

Surprised it was 7-2. Looks like they're doing the cleanup conference today so they can be out of town by the time the opinions are released tomorrow.

At least it seems a dem admin can just get rid of the rules since the challenge was just on APA grounds.

(CNN)Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in President Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry, is retiring from the US Army after more than 21 years of military service because he determined that his future in the armed forces "will forever be limited" due to political retaliation by the President and his allies, his lawyer told CNN Wednesday.

Vindman has endured a "campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation" spearheaded by the President following his testimony in the impeachment inquiry last year, according to his attorney, Amb. David Pressman.

It'll be gone (at least the moral one) in January. Hopefully they dump the religious one as well but then that'll just get challenged because of hobby lobby.

Obviously that doesn't help today but at least the ruling doesn't put these things in stone.

What is Trump celebrating today? His chopper flew over my house a few minutes ago which has to mean that he is on the course.

Nope, if you click on that link you will see it is the DEMOCRATS who have 188 EC votes locked up.

Hopefully he re-enlists once Trump is gone and is promoted to General!
