dems say they will shut down government as a protest. I hope they do. When the funding stops coming the Republicans can all point the finger and ask the dems to address it. I don't think that will play too well in the press. And then in a year when they lose even more seats the Republicans can pass any judge they want.

Quote:

there is no "mostly unique;" thats like saying "sometimes always," its an oxymoron - its either one or the other.

The result:

Quote:

By the mid-19th century unique had developed a wider meaning, “not typical, unusual,” and it is in this wider sense that it is compared. The comparison of so-called absolutes in senses that are not absolute is standard in all varieties of speech and writing.
