Propaganda Hour posted:I sent Don Young an email about the AHCA the first time around and he sent me back a solid page about tort reform. I kind of figured emailing Young was a waste of time, but I did send both Sullivan and Murkowski emails. Only Murkowski replied though.

Propaganda Hour posted:Murkowski is really great about replying. I seem to always get something back from her whenever I contact her office. True, I think I have gotten something back every time I've emailed her to complain this year. It might take awhile, but at least I know my tiny angry voice got added to someone's data set.

apokaladle posted:Are there any specifics on what they're rumored to be compromising on? I am concerned that they might see the writing on the wall and want to shove as much reprehensible poo poo through while they can, but I'm really hoping that they're still too shitheaded to pull it off. No idea yet, though Planned Parenthood has sent out an email telling people to be on their toes because Senators are pushing to get a vote before the July 4th recess.

eviltastic posted:It depends on what kind of case is up for trial, and approaches vary. And it's much more art than science. What you're trying for in voir dire (at least, with respect to actually selecting jurors) should be identifying biases that are problematic for your case; demographics can help you guess at that, but that should be secondary to engaging with the jurors actually in the room. When I was impaneled for a sexual assault case last week, the defense attorney spent a lot of time asking questions that were (to me at least) obvious defenses he could have used. It definitely ended up weeding out people who answered or reacted "wrong" to them.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:They're absolutely admissable. They are clearly things the man has said. I think the legal question was about whether or not they constitute 'official statements of the president' or whatever. The Whitehouse just cited his tweet in an official response to the Senate about the existence of any tapes, so they're going to have a pretty hard time arguing that they're not 'official statements' (which is also something Spicer claimed they were).

evilweasel posted:yeah, but with $700b in medicaid cuts and a $200b slush fund, some relatively simple math suggests that if McConnell really needed to, he could easily pay for a "medicaid cuts, except for alaska, which gets an extra 5% medicaid bonus because of...reasons" The big problem is going to be Planned Parenthood; they provide a lot of care for women in rural Alaska, and gutting their funding is going to screw the state over hard. They could give Alaska more money to make up for Medicaid cuts, but I don't see how they fix the Planned Parenthood issue without pissing off the whole "this bill isn't evil enough" contingent.

Gyges posted:This seems like just the right level of inept hamhandedness to make Murkowski an even firmer No. Also the type of thing to really piss off all the other Senators(except maybe Rand and Cruz who get excited at the thought of the Feds not doing things). Well, it is certainly the kind of thing to piss Alaskans off! There is pretty much nothing that gets Alaskans madder than having someone from "Outside", especially the Federal government, come in and try to tell them what to do.

Mister Adequate posted:Realtalk the risk isn't that North Korea flattens the US, even in an absolute worst-case scenario they might take out like two cities, which is... you know, horrific, but losing Anchorage and Seattle is in no way terminal. The risks are that A) people throwing nukes around gets someone with a lot more nukes (China or Russia) involved, or B) that people throwing nukes around normalizes nuke use going forwards. Since I live in Anchorage, losing it would be terminal in a very real way for me.

evilweasel posted:Collins is almost certainly a no (she would not have introduced a new bipartisan stabilization bill after McConnell killed the old one otherwise). Murkowski and McCain are the two that have previously voted no that are "in play". If either of them votes no, then it's dead. Here's the reason that Murkowski cares so much about Planned Parenthood (from this opinion piece back in February): "Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program cover 1 in 5 people in this country. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 17 percent of women in Alaska of reproductive age are covered by Medicaid. These women are often less likely to have a steady provider, many live in rural areas, and rely on services from Planned Parenthood. Experts predict in communities that already have a shortage of providers, other existing clinics and doctors would not be able to absorb Planned Parenthood patients." ... "Seventy-five percent of Planned Parenthood's health centers are located in communities with formally recognized provider shortages, and patients have nowhere else to turn. The majority of services we provide in these areas are preventive, including contraception, STI testing, cancer screenings and smoking cessation counseling — all part of the valuable health services also provided." Cutting Planned Parenthood fucks over rural Alaska (which is most of it) HARD, and no amount of health care subsidies really fixes that since you can't really use those to build and staff new facilities.

Basically "less money = bad, but flexibility = good!", so if that gets stricken that tears away one of the fig leafs these assholes are trying to hide behind.
