I think it's pretty outrageous that they didn't do a better job of investigation, including an autopsy. Not that I think his death is suspicious, given his health and the circumstances, etc., but he is a Supreme Court justice who died after being apparently OK the night before. Raises questions that don't have to be raised. Not that I know, but don't they usually do autopsies on people who die alone and without obvious cause?
In my experience it's all up to the coroner (or justice of peace in this instance) after consulting with one or more involved doctors and taking into consideration input from family, but I find it unfathomable that an autopsy would not be done on a controversial SCOTUS justice who wasn't witnessed to clutch his chest or go paralyzed on one side prior to dying.
This is the stuff conspiracy theories are made of. He almost certainly died naturally, but our grandchildren will be talking about it the way some talk about JFK's death.

I've never understood the idea of open primaries. Some people say closed primaries are unfair to independents. But my feeling is take a stand and join a party. If you want to be an independent, be prepared to take whatever you can get in the general! Besides open primaries alway leave the possibility of an "Operation Chaos" when one party has a preselected candidate, and the vote in the other party's primary to provide the weakest opponent possible.
Absolutely! No empathy for the wishy-washy here. Declare or wait for the general.
Any other constitutional rights you all want to curtail?

I don't think constitutional rights are at issue. That's why we have open primaries, closed primaries, caucuses and even conventions rather than direct selection.
I'm registered as an independent, please, please do not even think of telling me of who I can or cannot vote for....it is my right. I understand the need for not being able to cross vote in the primaries. But if I am undeclared, I should be able to vote for the candidate of my choice.

... The United States Constitution has never specified the process; political parties have developed their own procedures over time. Some states hold only primary elections, some hold only caucuses, and others use a combination of both....
I'm also unaffiliated and appreciate that NC has open primaries, but if a party that I refuse to declare or join wants to risk annoying me further by excluding me, it's their right. And, it's not like they can really exclude us with closed primaries, anyhow. We can just change registration before the primary to whichever party we want to vote on. It's as easy as picking the party ballot to vote on is for us now, just one more step every two years.
It makes total sense to keep Hamilton on the 10 dollar bill. Jackson was a dick. I mean, he was a war hero or whatever, and as a person he was one of those guys that give no fucks and makes his own rules. I can respect that. I can't respect the trail o' tears though. Also he was against the central bank, so putting Jackson on the 20 is like a big ol' fuck you Jackson. Harriet Tubman was bad ass and I think I voted for her in the poll you posted. Can't argue with an ex-slave sneaking south to help free other slaves. That takes guts. She has my respect.
