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.
change this to 'a trump nut' instead of 'trump' doing the shooting and it's a better q
Well I was thinking more from the perspective of Trump doing the killing, them ramming through four new justices that all believe the president is above the law. But your method works too. Does Red Sox support terrorism if it benefits his side of the aisle?
No.
Well, your response to the initial question was "leave those seats open until the next election." That "solution" benefits your side in multiple ways, allowing you conveniently keep a 5-0 conservative majority unopposed on the court, and still leave yourself open for the POSSIBILITY that Republicans win the election and get to fill four seats with ideological conservatives, after a conservative terrorist committed murder to achieve that exact goal. Never mind that at BEST, a Democrat gets into office (and this is assuming the same Republican Party that blocked Garland for a year wouldn't be salivating at the thought of blocking four open spots until they can fill them) and replaces those four liberal judges with four new liberal judges...there's really no downside for the Republicans at that point. Nothing they've done in the past four years tells me they have any sort of morality to not take those heinous murders as a gift. So I think you're full of shit if you say you don't support terrorism in that scenario. You can say 'no', but your actions throughout this topic, and the consistent viewpoint you've held the whole time says otherwise.
I said to hold the seats open because otherwise they would be filled by the vice president, who is also a Republican.
Again, ignoring the fact that in this hypothetical scenario, the BEST case scenario for the Democrats is that they win the election and nothing happens, whereas ALL other outcomes wildly benefit the Republicans (whose policies would have spurred on the assassinations in the first place.) Your ambivalence is supporting hypothetical terrorism. ---
