You need to stop saying this. There were a million imaginable deals that would be smarter and better than this for every single party.

I’d never read it, but Ana Marie gushed about it online for years, so I picked it up. It’s phenomenal. As a huge fan of All the King’s Men, it seemed like a natural successor.

In fact, McCain voted no not because of some quick fever of progressivism, but precisely *because* there was no GOP plan to replace the ACA. He wanted full repeal of Obamacare but objected to the cynicism of his colleagues, like Amodei, who couldn’t be bothered to think through any alternatives.

Mark Amodei remains what he’s always been: A guy with a safe district and a wisecrack, a cardinal in a church of apostates from democracy.

The so-called skinny repeal of the ACA featured no GOP plan, got rid of the truly popular and successful aspects of Obamacare, and even GOP House leadership was running around telling people not to worry because the bill would never become law.

Furthermore, Amodei’s description of the McCain thumbs-down episode is disingenuous, because he doesn’t think you remember the facts of that matter. He wants you to think there was some GOP health plan at stake. There wasn’t.

Not the home invasion and attack on a former Speaker’s husband. Not the cold-blood assassination of legislators in Minnesota. No, it’s the killing of a man he claims not even to have heard of, but whose death he can profit from with his base by invoking now.

The vertical version of this: As a young ambitious associate, I’d fly back from an en banc argument of statewide urgency, be quoted in every daily paper and newscast, and yet have to be in muni at 7:30a to fix a partner’s speeding ticket. Then get calls not on the case but the status of the ticket…

Judges in election contests make decisions large and small, just as they do in matters of evidence in trials, decisions that accumulate in ways unforeseen to produce some new result that we—participants in a system—try to accept as just, if not true. /4

Elections processes are flawed, voters quirky, standards subjective. In close elections the microfibers of democracy go under the lens, and they can appear loose and chaotic, bc they *are* loose and chaotic. Candidates exploit the gaps and inevitable errors to pull the count in their direction. /3

An initial vote count, and sometimes a recount, are administrative procedures, designed to produce an objective result, within standards and a legal context provided by law.
