Death would become them.  But Biden needs to lead the way.

It's amazing isn't it how popular they are to have been elected so many times over and over again?  :shrug:

At least Harry Reid paved the way for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett to join the Supreme Court.

Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader, dead at 82
Reid, diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018, served in Congress from 1983 until 2017
Fox News, Dec 28, 2021

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid died Tuesday at the age of 82.

Reid, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2018, served in Congress from 1983 until his retirement in 2017. He announced in 2019 his cancer was in remission.

A Democrat representing Nevada, Reid served as senate majority leader from 2007-2015. He became most well-known for his use of the "nuclear option" in 2013, leading the charge to end the filibuster on executive branch nominees and judicial nominees other than to the Supreme Court.

And IMO, that ended up being only "ground-rule doubles"

I mean, if Barack Obama & Co. can find a 'Brennan' AND a 'Comey' for the Intelligence Agencies, how freaking hard is it to find another Scalia?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

'I wouldn't have been president without him: Obama leads Biden and Clinton in paying tribute to former Democratic Senate Majority leader Harry Reid following his death aged 82 after four-year battle with pancreatic cancer

    Harry Reid died Tuesday at age 82 following a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer after representing Nevada in Washington, D.C. for 36 years
    'I am heartbroken to announce the passing of my husband,' Reid's widow Landra Gould Reid wrote
    'He died peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by our family, following a courageous, four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Harry was 82 years old. We were married for 62 years'
    Reid served as Senate Majority Leader from 2007–2015 and was Minority Leader during two other periods in his two-decade Senate tenure – before that he served in the House
    Former President Barack Obama said he 'wouldn't have been president had it not been for' Harry Reid's 'encouragement and support'
    Also credited Reid for getting much of his legislative agenda through the Senate
    'Harry Reid was one of the most amazing individuals I've ever met,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a statement on Reid's passing before ordering flags be lowered to half-staff at the Capitol
    Just this month the McCarran International Airport outside Las Vegas was renamed to the Harry Reid International Airport

Can't they just bury him someplace in Nevada and spare us all endless hours of commentary on his *success* as Majority Leader.
