Do you wear a face covering when going out in public during the COVID-19 pandemic?

    I have traveled by plane, and the airports in the US were a disaster - jam packed with people congregating and very few wearing masks. The flights were okay, in that they weren’t all that full, but if people took off their masks during the flight, the flight attendants didn’t seem to do anything. 
    When was this?  This is very different than the many things that have been shared with me.  I don't doubt it as where you are flying from-to and when, etc all play a part.  But I'm a little surprised to hear of such "jam packed" and "very few mask".  That's not good. What airports were these?
    Dallas and San Francisco airports, end of June and mid July. 
    Thanks for sharing
    Don’t expect pics

    i don't think term limits should be imposed on being in congress, but maybe on being the speaker?
    I agree, I don’t think someone third in line for president should get a lifetime appointment.
    That doesn't make any sense to me.  Speaker is elected as an official and as Speaker.  There are plenty of opportunities to unseat him/her. Plus the Speaker can be removed any time during a congress if they lose confidence of the majority.  And if they became president,  they lose their seat and become subject to term limits.  

    The democrats have passed a rule that speaker gets eight years maximum. So Pelosi gets two more if Dems win the majority. Of course the gop can do whatever they please if they win. Citing the presidential succession problem  as third in line is puzzling. Has it ever happened? Why worry about something that never happened?

    for those concerned about term limits, I’d say the real problem is the Supreme Court. At least senators and reps face voters. Justices do not and it is a lifetime appointment. This is a MUCH bigger problem than congress.

    the only solution that solves this without passing an amendment to the constitution (which is nearly impossible in this partisan climate) is to add justices. Congress with a simple majority could change the judicial act of 1869 allowing for more justices on the court. No need to amend the bloody constitution.

    As unpopular as this would be (people seem to have a weird fixation on 9 Justices thinking its part of the constitution, it is not), it is probably the best option in this climate.

    IMO if Biden wins and Dems take the senate they should do this and re-nominate Merrick Garland and have ten. Nice round number. Nice album too. 5-4 along party lines is a BS way to run the country. But they did that to appoint Bush president and nobody cared. A 6-4 vote is a much better requirement to change the law.

     Adding judges will dilute the power of every individual judge and make future confirmations less intense. Let each president add one or two. Have 20 up there, 30, even 50. But start with Ten. 

    The more dilution  the better.

    Interesting..  Few things

    Regarding the eight year speaker, I had forgotten about that.  But I remember that as part of a deal and thought that was just that applying to Pelosi, that she was committing to not serve longer than 8.  Is that a long term party rule now?

    Hey you sound like FDR with his court packing scheme.  Remember that was the only way parts of the New Deal would pass, by diluting the bench and packing it with D's.  They added two.  Now I don't know that it makes sense to have an even number, but it is an interesting though to do that again.
