Just a thought

I know that politics isn't everyone's cup of tea. I just watched this clip and it pretty much sums up my sentiments clearly. Give it a listen. Leave a comment if you wish.

So I do my due diligence and keep active track on two important websites. https://www.house.gov/ https://www.senate.gov/
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 7, clause 1
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7
In otherwords, ALL bills that involve money MUST start in the House. The Senate can amend it, but not be the originator. CARES Act is a current and prime example. Started in House, Senate amended it, House approved, President signed .
TARP first version HR 3997 was rejected when it was amended, so the Senate then used HR 1424, which did pass both Senate and the House. Do note that both started in the House and was amended by the Senate. Public Law 110-343. "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008" this created TARP cause it's focus was on "troubled assets"
Which bills has the House passed since oct 2, cause there's nothing on their own website indicating any such bills. in fact most in the last 3 months have been nothing but committee hearings.
When she was in the lower courts, her job was applying the law as written. Applying criminal code laws is child's play compared to what will be expected in the Supreme Court. Now her job is to interpret the Constitution. It's a vague, complicated and dated document. The fact that she wasn't even able to name all the rights protected in the very first amendment should automatically disqualify her for consideration. She didn't know or include the right to protest. Seems like a rather auspicious omission. The fact that she claims that climate change is a debatable and contentious topic is also something that should cause concern. It's only contentious because of political reasons, and justices aren't supposed to be political pawns. I wouldn't trust her to interpret microwave popcorn instructions. Those facts aside, her confirmation is also something that should never have been a priority. McConnell blocked Merrick Garland's confirmation/nomination out of nothing but political spite. That appointment was almost a full year before the election. Now suddenly that standard is denied when it's an appointee from his own party only weeks away from an election. Perhaps your party blinders are just too narrow to be unbiased in this situation. She is a horrible choice, and this shouldn't have even been brought up. McConnell is nothing but an obstructionist, and a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Now, unless you can stop being so obtuse, and actually consider what I'm trying to focus on, perhaps you should go waste your time somewhere else.
