"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan
The Democrats are about to nominate former VP Biden....What does that mean for Senator Sanders and his followers?...The virus and politics. Justice Scalia 1936-2016....Spain and March 11, 2004..other stories.........
We saw a couple of polls this week worth mentioning.
Sadly, Senator Romney is doing better with Democrats than Republicans, according to a poll via Hot Air:
“A 56% majority of Democrats but just 23% of Republicans now hold favorable views of Romney.”
This is clear to me. Romney gave the Democrats the talking point that the conviction was bipartisan, i.e. one GOP vote for removal.
Sadly, the abuse of power article was so weak that it’s hard to understand Romney’s vote.
Another poll was more encouraging and may be a sign of good things to happen in November. According to Gallup:
More Americans approve of the job congressional Republicans are doing than of congressional Democrats’ performance — 40% vs. 35%.
The rating for Republicans in Congress has risen six percentage points since late October, before the impeachment of President Donald Trump in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Over the same period, congressional Democrats’ approval rating has edged down three points and disapproval has climbed five points, from 57% to 62%.
Impeachment is probably a big factor in these numbers.
However, I would add a second factor or the total insane behavior of Democrats.
How can any sane voter watch Sandy O et al and hope that that bunch continues running the Congress?
We don’t know if this poll means that the House will flip. We still have eight months before people vote. Nevertheless, it is probably a bad sign for many of those so-called “moderates” who will face fierce GOP opposition in November.
Judge Scalia was nominated by President Reagan and confirmed in 1986.
We remember him as one Justice who understood the role of The Supreme Court, i.e. interpret rather than legislate!
Justice Scalia. We miss your opinions and intellect. PS: You can listen to my show (Canto Talk) and follow me on Twitter.

Over the years, I've come to love pop songs, specially those that I wasn't old enough to remember or purchase when they were on the charts.
Mary Wells's "The one who really loves you" was a big hit in 1962. It was another song written by Smokey Robinson. We posted something about Smokey Robinson a few days ago.
She was only 20 and one of the early stars of Motown, the record company that gave us The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops & so many other wonderful performers.
Mary Wells died in 1992 but left behind a bunch of fun hits that we've grown to love over time. Her other big songs were 'My guy", "Two lovers" & "You beat me to the punch".
Click to hear "The one who really loves you", a song that has been a part of quite a few soundtracks:
"Some other girls are filling your head with jive
So now you're acting like you don't know that I'm alive
Love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, little me The one who really loves you
Susie only wants you until the day
(only wants you until the day)
That she'll again have her true love who's far, far away
(her true love far away)
So love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
And you lose me, little me
The one who really loves you
(I really love you, yay, yay, yay)
Ginnie only wants you 'cause she thinks
she has to have everyone
Minnie only wants you 'cause she thinks
that hurting me would be fun
Oh, oh, oh, silly Lilly, you know she doesn't
really want you with a love that's true
In fact there's no other girl in this whole wide world
who can love you like I do
They get tired of you and they're gonna put you down
(put you down, put you down)
Then they ain't gonna want you hanging around
(hangin' around, hanging around)
So love, you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
