The Supreme Court ruled in Powell v. McCormack (1969) that the House cannot exclude a member who meets the constitutional qualifications (age, citizenship, residency). That case firmly established that a Speaker or majority cannot refuse to seat someone who meets those requirements.

You mean “smarter than” not “smarter then”. When they go low, we can definitely go lower. If they claim she’s smarter than her predecessor simply because she’s white and not a “DEI hire”, we are expecting her to be. She’s not doing so well thus far…

The “best and brightest” they claim… sounds like someone is in a position they didn’t earn.

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

Does any of this seem normal? Pardoning insurrectionists? We are not heading in a direction that will end well for anyone in this country. It is a complete takeover of the government. As my elected official, what are you going to do to save our democracy?

I want a normal life where we don’t have to worry about the actual fate of our country every damn minute.

I so agree. Today’s press conferences with that man were utterly disgusting and embarrassing. But he wasn’t the only one. Vance and Hegseth were equally disgusting. Where did compassion and empathy go? The focus should have been squarely on the victims and their families. PERIOD
