(52,253 posts)11. i think it needs really media-savvy experts sending them talking points every day
as a coordinated effort. not just us peons but people who are really plugged in and who can line up and arrange guests to generate new stories and talking points and get them on all the shows.
there are many angles to having a 4-4 court for an extended period of time. the racism of yet another first in disrespectful treatment of a president who entiiirely coincidentally just happens to be the first black president is a good one to push, but there are many other angles, including the impact of a tie on case after case, not the least of which might be if any election-related dispute comes up.
but, yeah. what's crazy donnie said today!
