Can a pending amendment expire?
Can states retract approval of a constitutional amendment?



Oh, and congrats

Virginia is now a blue trifecta

Go pass some commie laws :toot:

I believe several states (Tenn?) in the 1980s did retract their support if ERA. Unless there is a new bill unrelated to the original failed bill that didn't get passed and had an expiration date.

This guy's district is gerrymandered as hell and an example of when gerrymander fails, it fails catastrophically.

This means they undo the gerrymander and Republicans never win the state again. The south loses Virginia, again.

Note: I am not being snide with this question.

From a strategic standpoint, do you think that the Democrats in Virginia (or another state they win) should focus on gerrymandering the GOP out of existence or changing something that seems more inherently fair like a redistricting commission?

It’s a hard question but a redistributing commission should be constitutional not just a law if they take the route of redistributing. Anything else is just only disarming Democrats but not republicans.

Goon on goon love.

And context about Matt Bevin again. I've mentioned this before, but I'll do it again.

He ran on getting rid of "Obamacare", specifically ending the medicaid expansion. The ACA was called Kynect in Kentucky, and it was the most successful exchange in the nation. They voted him in anyway thinking Kynect and Obamacare were different things.

Then Bevin went and screwed over the poorest people in kentucky and took their healthcare.

Then trump came in and said, "oh yeah we're gonna fix that no biggie" and they realize they're getting poo poo on. Here an article about the poorest county in kentucky. Read it it's good.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/11/19/502580120/in-depressed-rural-kentucky-worries-mount-over-medicaid-cutbacks

quote:

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, who was elected in 2015, has argued his state can't afford Medicaid in its current form. Obamacare permitted states to use federal funds to broaden Medicaid eligibility to all adults with incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level, now $11,880 for individuals. Kentucky's enrollment has doubled since late 2013 and today almost a third of its residents are in the program. The Medicaid expansion under Obamacare in Kentucky has led to one of the sharpest drops in any state's uninsured rate, to 7.5 percent in 2015 from 20 percent two years earlier.

Kentucky's achievement owed much to the success of its state-run exchange, Kynect, in promoting new coverage options under the health law. Kynect was launched under Bevin's Democratic predecessor, Steve Beshear, and dismantled by Bevin this year.

Bevin has threatened to roll back the expansion if the Obama administration doesn't allow him to make major changes, such as requiring Kentucky's beneficiaries to pay monthly premiums of $1 to $37.50 and require nondisabled recipients to work or do community service for free dental and vision care.

Want that abscess looked at? Go pick up trash. Anyway he rolled it back.

And here's an angry analysis article to wash it down.

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a50874/clay-county-kentucky-healthcare-trump/

Bevin was a UNIQUE piece of poo poo who will almost certainly leave for a consulting job tomorrow and never set foot in kentucky again. They need to keep the coal mines open just long enough for them to toss him into one and seal the entrance.

In California they did, though I don't think that necessarily means it would happen elsewhere. There were also a bit of wacky hijinks the CA Dems did to make sure they were favored by the redistricting commission, though none of it was backdoor dealing or anything.

If Republicans don't take back control of atleast 50% of the media, this country is hosed. Right now 95% of the media is run by the dems. Let's not mention the fact that dems own big tech, educational institutions and hollywood.
Do you really think CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, Wapo and hundreds of other media outlets have no influence over people?
Every late night show actively promotes democrats. That poo poo sways elections. You wouldn't have to worry about all other factors when you stop the leftist brainwashing.

Bevin losing seems to be more of a uniquely a Bevin problem, and not a Kentucky wide blue wave. That said, Trump’s very existence seems to draw people out to the polls. If there were anyone else in the White House tonight, a lot of non-conservatives wouldn’t even know there were elections today.

Just saw that Virginia dunked all over the republicans extremely hard and that's the good poo poo I need from the comrades across the pond, good job! Kentucky governor is just icing on the cake.

Between last year's midterms and tonight, if the Dems can actually put up a decent candidate with a positive message and campaign next year it could be a slaughter of absolutely catalcysmic proportions.
