So much winning. Well, that's what I think.
Re Republican voting restrictions:
You compare them yourself, in order to make your case, so that's a completely ridiculous thing to say. And as you point out some proposals have similar motives (like 'the limit on Sunday voting... understandably considered an attack on the famous “souls to polls” events')

Jim Crow measures also didn't seem overwhelming taken one at a time. What could be so bad about requiring a literacy test? It was the cumulative effect of all of them put together that made it work.

Re filibuster:
What does Sasse think the Senate is sick with? What are the symptoms? To me the sickness is being unable to pass "laws the most wholesome and necessary to the public good" and this is the obvious cure. https://t.co/GkzYEye5Co

the Senate isn't representative enough for this argument. 50 Senate Democrats represent 56% of the population pic.twitter.com/RgIbdSZDjf

Re immigration:
Your Emperor Trump already ended "catch and release". It was a ghastly failure that caused enormous suffering. We're bringing it back, because it worked really well, parking asylum applicants in communities that would take responsibility while they waited for their hearings.

Before you tell me they "disappear" when they are "released" like fish in a vast ocean, no, they don't: https://t.co/RRDzl73RYR

That's false. Canada is the only country that meets "safe country" requirements under US law https://t.co/DbjoSpDxkn Mexico is extremely dangerous for migrants.

You're wrong about public sentiment, even in your own diseased party, fortunately https://t.co/w3xsLsCe5Y In any case it's no excuse for ignoring the law as Trump administration did

Oh shut up. We have tons of resources and inadequate population growth, and you can just stop the contempt for refugees like my persecuted ancestors in the Russian Empire. Backlog in family immigration needs to be fixed, fast, not used as an excuse for shutting out others.

"doing a Trump"--please. I didn't malign you but your Australian link presented as some kind of unarguable authority.

I haven't suggested open borders. I have suggested (1) obeying US law on asylum applicants, that every case must be heard and not pre-decided by CBP agents...
Why do you keep suggesting there's something wrong with people in poor countries seeking economic opportunities elsewhere? That's what made America great, our ancestors. But if the poor countries are like the Central American Northern Triangle...

You're not quite about most asylum cases getting rejected, by the way. It's about 60% overall, but there's an enormous variation among judges https://t.co/8tIYqgDEV6 and courts in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Newark accept a majority.

In the same way I'd like to see US trying to do something for the countries destroyed by Bush wars: let's take a million Afghan refugees, a million Iraqis, three million Syrians.

Of course I strongly support reparations for African American and Native American people. Economic activity created by increased immigration broadens the tax base to help pay for that.

Sports Section!
Would be a lot more interesting if authorities would stop their resistance to women playing soccer on men's teams, but they refuse in apparent terror of finding out something they don't want to know https://t.co/toqbJZMBYm

I guess basketball is sacred and voting is profane.

Little known fact, Jesus didn't actually fast in the desert for 40 days, that's just what he told them at the office. He was really watching March Madness.
