Red Sox, if Donald Trump himself went into the Supreme Court chambers and assassinated the four liberal justices, opening up four spots on the court, would you say that his administration deserves to fill those vacancies? Because your whole might makes right, ends justify the means, amoral mentality makes it seems frighteningly possible that youll say yes. No, I would support immediate impeachment and removal from office. And hold the seats open until the next election. And what incentive would the Republican Senate have to do that, exactly, given your current ideology? Love of country and constitution. To stop a dictatorship. To win the next election. What about their current actions make you believe they give a shit about those first two? And how far gone do you think the country is that you think there's ANY chance of them finding a way to win the next election after their leader openly murdered four people? You realize that in a Trump dictatorship they would have no power either. He could just dissolve Congress and make himself king. Ah, the semantics argument. Never mind that I'm CLEARLY talking about Republicans abolishing democratic norms in order to further ensconce themselves in power at the expense of a growing majority in opposition to them (effectively a dictatorship run by a single party, not by one man.) It's not semantics. Congressional Republicans would have zero guarantee Trump wouldn't just boot them the first time they disagreed with him. A dictatorship can only be run by a single person. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:908762520] in Politics C...
