If you’re gonna write for an outlet called “ThinkProgress,” shouldn’t you be required to, you know, think? Because ThinkProgress’ “justice editor” Ian Millhiser doesn’t seem to be very good at that.
Whoa- did McConnell just axe blue slip rule? Means Ds can’t block judicial nominees from home states anymore. Big. https://t.co/Fg8SqgklxY pic.twitter.com/sb9GHVENbz

Wait for it …
Utter nonsense. Your charge is that we should’ve destroyed the senate before they did? Really? You’re an idiot.

Annnnnnd there it is.
ThinkProgress's "constitutional expert" doesn't actually understand how the constitution works. https://t.co/mBarS80Afd

He doesn’t seem to understand how anything works.

Are you familiar with our bicameral legislative branch? Do you understand the concept of federalism?

People are treated equally in the House, states are treated equally in the Senate. That's so CA doesn't makes dumb laws for WY. https://t.co/nHALmcdYdt

That … is an incredibly STUPID piece of analysis. We have a House of Representatives and a Senate … FOR A REASON –> People like you.

We are a nation of both individuals and states. The two houses represent each correctly. Thanks for playing.

One body is proportionate to population, as it should be
One body keeps each State equal to each other State
As it should be

Poor Ian. Such a glutton for punishment!
congrats on making yourself look like a simpleton

The beauty of Ian Millhiser is how transparent his tantrums are. Unprincipled, knee-jerk reactionary hissy fits.
— NeoN: Automataster (@neontaster) October 11, 2017
This is idiotic. I follow you to gather perspective from the left. Not the looney bin. Yeah, destroy the senate. Great plan.

The limit does not exist.
So what part of the American system would you keep at this point? https://t.co/VBbYlvQL9r

The Democratic Party, probably. So there’s that.
