At least Biden admits there's a Constitution... whether anyone follows it is an entire different story.

And oh look, Harris is talking. She does realize she ain't going anywhere even if she does try to come off emotional.

That’s because women are very privileged before the justice system on the aggregate.

Praise for Beto seems to be going around.

"[Trump] handed out the ammunition."

Really, so much turns of phrases tonight. That will be lost, like tears in the rain.

I have to say, I feel for Biden on this one. "Look dudes, we literally can't do this. The Supreme Court decisions aren't in our favor..."
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

He's right too. Despite Biden losing it mentally, many of these proposals are going to get struck down, especially Harris' and O'Rourke's proposals.

That 'guns are the third rail for Democrats' thing is at a diminishing returns point.

Joe Biden of all people being the most restrained on guns is pretty lol worthy. At least Beto and co. are open about wanting confiscation now.

It is shocking despite Biden's F Rating from the NRA. I'm sure Biden doesn't want to confiscate your guns at least. Eh, it's not a winning issue for them in my mind.

Go ahead. Just pointing out the debate once again focuses on straining out the gnat and gulping down the camel (in relative terms).

So Warren, you do realized that if you end the filibuster, then if Republicans take a majority, they'll pass their legislation they want. Dangerous, very dangerous.

So what did you just do?

In relevant news:
Really thought Warren was going to go after lobbying rules but took a hard left at the filibuster...
