The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

SNIP Why it matters: Schumer is racing to jam through dozens of President Biden's judicial confirmations before the end of the year to break Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) record during the first Trump administration...

...President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans show up and try to stop Democrats from confirming more judges.

Why it matters: President Biden is now 15 judicial confirmations away from the record set by Trump in his first term...

...House Democratic leadership is actively trying to get its members to vote against a once-broadly bipartisan bill that would create dozens of new federal judgeships, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: Democrats fear the bill would give President-elect Trump additional opportunities to fill the courts with conservative ideologues.

The JUDGES Act would create 63 judgeships over the next 10 years, including 11 in 2025 and another 11 in 2027 – when Trump will be president.SNIP

I'm watching this to see whether Dems get their act together or we flub it.
