I posted upthread that Jeff Skilling is probably making a few bucks off this!

I understand he's now a plumber!

Heh.  Yes,  saw your upthread comment,  partly why I referenced the bit about Enron.

I remember Skilling on "Frontline," 
"We are the good guys. We are on the side of angels"

Exactly why govts should own all critical things like power systems, and not be able to privatise them.
And why the federal govt should always be in control of things like power systems.   

Bambu,  just want to alert you that a leftist radical socialist may have hacked your account and posted under your name.

Do you think that District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs of South Carolina would be a qualified addition to the Court?

Thanks for the link.

After serving the State Gov as Deputy Director of labor relations, they put her on the S.C. Circuit court in ‘06. She got to the federal bench in ‘09 where she continues to serve with distinction.

She gets extra points for her work on the Woods case.

I will happily abide by her decisions once she is installed on the Supreme Court.

"An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence," Justice Thomas wrote.

Ginni probably wrote it for Clarence.

Kid if there is no strong evidence of systemic election fraud, why would anyone attempt to undermine confidence in our elections?

IMO the strong evidence of fraud in our election system is the ongoing voter suppression actions undertaken by some states.

And I hope DoJ fights like hell to protect voters and their right to exercise their legal right to vote.

YMMV

LOL
Govts privatise/sell off the power system, they get a big bag of cash...but they can only sell the state owned asset from which they are deriving income once...and they lose control of it.
Then they have to...ask...the new owners to do things. "Selling off the farm" is a foolish and disastrous policy.
One only has to look at Texas, and the People suffering, and stuck with those $5000 power bills.

Stephen Breyer needs to go play golf, first. And do you think anyone else is as qualified, if not more so, as Childs?

What difference does that make? There has never been a SCOTUS justice who was not selected for demographic or political reasons. Why start now?

Great news!

Johnson & Johnson can deliver 20 million doses of its single-shot coronavirus vaccine to the U.S. government by the end of March, an executive will testify tomorrow.

“Assuming necessary regulatory approvals relating to our manufacturing processes, our plan is to begin shipping immediately upon emergency use authorization, and deliver enough single-doses by the end of March to enable the vaccination of more than 20 million Americans,” Johnson & Johnson’s Richard Nettles, vice president of medical affairs for the company's pharmaceutical unit Janssen, will tell a House Energy & Commerce subcommittee Tuesday.

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele said Monday that conservatives who do not wish to be part of the party without former President Trump leading it are free to leave.

"You have 46 percent of the folks saying they will follow Trump," Steele said Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "I'm like, OK, there's the door. Y'all go do your thing, and we'll just pick up the pieces on this side and keep moving. And that's the battle."

Steele was referring to a new Suffolk University-USA Today poll released Sunday that found 46 percent of Republicans would abandon the GOP and join a Trump party if the former president decided to create one.

Safe to assume a number of parties will be capturing this whole event as supporting evidence in a flood of upcoming trials,
