He really couldn't wait 2 years? Jesus, this is going to be a massive setback for the country, it could be 50 years before we can start making progress again. If there is even an America left to progress by that time.

So, hum, time for a challenge of the voting rights act and the civil rights act? Or maybe they're going to play it safe and wait until Ginsburg is replaced as well before trying to get those overturned?

They don't need to do that. The main goal is to become a corrupt neolibertarian country like Mexico.

Was it worth it, Bernie Bros? Good luck looking any minority in the eye for the next generation while trying to explain why you behaved the way you did, because your political purity fucked them over in ways we cant begin to imagine

FEEL THE BERN


Minorities fucked Bernie first with the "well what have you done for me lately?" any time he tried to explain his civil rights record.


....holy shit. Yall are really gonna tell yourselves this while organizing your next "resistance" march, arent you?

I'm not a Bernie bro, I voted Hillary. I'm just calling it as a saw it on this very board and various other social media.

She won the Southern primaries while Bernie was still defending his civil rights record against baseless idiocy and having his mic taken on his own stage.

Ginsburg is 85 and by far the most liberal Justice on The Court. She has already openly stated that she will not retire until Trump is no longer president.

Breyer is 79.

Sotomayor is the second most liberal Justice, but shes only 64.

This could make the next Democrat administration pretty much powerless, even if they have the white house and control both the senate and the house

He caused a large schism among Democrats who feel he was robbed by the DNC, and their loss of faith in the system made them not vote for Hillary, resulting in swing states that had the numbers on the rosters to change the outcome... Not change

The fact Bernie doesn't want to do anything to ICE basically tells you his position. He's not leftist at all, he's just another democrat who has thrown certain groups of minorities under the bus before and will again.

Just look at the recent cell phone case that went towards the liberal side. Moderation is important always. You can't honestly tell me you'd like to have 9 right wing tea party nutjobs deciding the fate of every case. Those are the kind of people Trump is looking at. Not relatively moderate Republicans, hardline conservatives.

That would be a good thing for the Supreme Court. We already got rid of one of the "My side is right, now let me do some legal acrobatics to justify it" dinosaurs when Scalia died....I can't wait to see her off the bench too. The court needs more people like Roberts and Kagan, who seem willing to rule outside of their personal feelings.

You're not fooling anybody with your strawman argument, we both know you just want it to be 5-4 so if one of the justices died you'd get to replace them and do this all over again.

This is why I voted Republican even though I hated Trump. I didn't want Hillary picking the Supreme Court. Glad it worked out now this is the second replacement for trump.

In Hilldawg world, it would be Ginsburg retiring and Hillary would also be making 2 replacements. Maybe Kennedy would have still retired and she would have 3. What a dark timeline that would have been.

Instead we get to stack the court for decades. Amazing how close we were to a total collapse, but fortune smiled on America as usual.


I enjoy laughing at the massive delusion provided by Trump supporters who actually think Trump is a good president and the candidates he picks aren't pure garbage

You keep laughing, I'll keep enjoying the increasingly conservative SCOTUS.

They're awaiting deportation for being here illegally, not kidnapped and thrown in a camp for being Asian like the poster boy Democrat, President Franklin D Roosevelt.
