The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court means if Democrats take control of the White House and the Senate, then they don’t have a choice: They must pack the court.
After looking back on another election cycle's worth of debates, one thing is clear: We need a better way of comparing presidential candidates. One solution could be making moderators less important to the debate process.
It’s often said that in the South, college football is a religion. If that’s the case, then we need a shoulder-pad-wearing Martin Luther — because college football is in an unsustainable position, and there’s no clear way out.
