The guy is 82.
Hope Chuck serves 20 more terms in the Senate.
20 terms? That’s 120 years.
Harry needs to have his butt kicked by another exercise machine - this time in the mouth.

Reid should know all about obstruction; having held up all of GWB’s nominees. And racism, which the RAT Party was founded on.
”In 1964, the Senate majority leader had to take maneuvers to keep the Civil Rights Act from landing in Senate Judiciary Chairman James Eastland's committee, . . .”
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following. Although Sen. Eastland was a segregationist, the problem with the post-17th Amendment ratification, post-FDR era Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the following. Since the states had never amended the Constitution to expressly protect race, sex and other discriminatory-related issues outside the scope of voting rights protections, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is based on constitutionally non-existent federal government powers imo.
In other words, as with many other bills that Congress has made, corrupt Congress needed to first successfully propose an appropriate amendment to the Constitution, an anti-segregation amendment in this case, before trying to pass the vote-winning Civil Rights Act.
The corrupt federal government had found the wiggle-room to start making constitutionally indefensible civil rights laws because FDRs state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices had previously concocted an unreasonably wide interpretation of Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3).
Civil Rights Act of 1964
But regardless what FDRs activist justices wanted everybody to believe regarding the scope of Congress Commerce Clause powers, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added].” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Iowa farmers can live a long time.
I read it as Harry setting up to call Republicans racist when they refuse to confirm a Justice "because Obama is a black President."
just invoke the Biden or Schumer Rule.....simple.
