Whoops.No doubt. The republicans in the senate are actually currently engaged on the issue. It's the House pubs who are the biggest problem right now.

Republicans demanded stringent border policy changes to pass $60 billion in Ukraine aid requested by the White House last year, and a small group of Senate negotiators were closing in on a deal last week when Trump slammed the negotiations in a social media post that said he would only accept a “PERFECT” deal.
In a closed-door meeting Wednesday afternoon, McConnell, who is pushing for Ukraine funding and reluctantly agreed to tie the foreign aid to border security, acknowledged that the politics are tough for passing a border deal, according to two people familiar with his comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting.
McConnell’s doubts were aired after a significant number of Republican senators, backed up by right-wing media, have increasingly vocalized their opposition to a border security deal before details have been released and even as they have raised alarm bells about the influx of migrants at the border.
is that really legal
And maybe a 3rd: the Republicans who are retiring/not running for re-election
If there are two types of Republicans, it's the MAGA Republicans and Republicans scared to stand up to them.
Those would be in the second group, no?And maybe a 3rd: the Republicans who are retiring/not running for re-election
Most, probably. But you have some (or maybe just this one) like Kinzinger, who went down in a blaze of anti-MAGA glory.Those would be in the second group, no?
hopefully not. though I'm confident Thomas would retire very early into a Trump one. Probably right after some real fuck you and your rights verdict comes out.On the flip side, could Thomas and Alito out last a 2nd Biden administration?
Both parties appoint younger justices. Republicans are better about retiring under Republican presidents. The current skew can be traced back to Brennan and Marshall retiring under Bush, Sr. and RBG not retiring under Obama.Stands to question why Republicans take greater advantage of turning over conservative seats to younger judges.
a real hit to the ol' legacyThomas, Alito, and Roberts would probably retire during a Trump second term.
