darkknight109 07/15/20 5:05:13 PM #2:	Zeus posted... Democrats can stall voting on a replacement until the next president takes office? Democrats couldn't stall on voting on a replacement - they're the minority party in the senate and Moscow Mitch did away with the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees in order to steal the Garland seat and give it to Gorsuch. I note you also didn't mention that Roberts was also hospitalized last month. Odd for you to omit that and just focus on Ginsburg. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster.

Less likely to encounter news since I'm not driving as much which means less NPR. Sounds like the board also dropped the ball on reporting about that, although Roberts is generally in better health than Ginny anyway considering he's over 20 years younger and iirc never had cancer, as well as a lot of Ginny's other health problems. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:942156460] in Still no t...

Zeus 07/15/20 10:15:02 PM #13:	DrPrimemaster posted... Its pretty ridiculous isnt it. Our entire government system is a mess. It's ridiculous to expect justices, judges, etc, to be machines. However, and far more importantly, "conservative" justices (ie, really just Republican-nominated justices) are far more likely to vote against their political orientation than liberal judges. The liberal justices typically always vote together on ideological lines whereas "conservative" justices tend to either vote with liberals, dissent, write separate opinions, etc. Or, in other words, Democrat-nominated candidates almost always vote Democrat, whereas Republican-nominated candidates tend to vote more independently. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:942167978] in Still no t...

She is taking care of herself, she wants to make sure she lives until the racist is out of office and a decent president can make an appointment. She massively fucked up by not retiring halfway into Obama's 2nd term. I distinctly remember people suggesting to her that she retire (she already had a lengthy and notable career on the bench by then), and she refused. I'm guessing she deeply regrets that decision now... <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:942168111] in Still no t...

If they regain control of the senate, they could. There are zero scenarios where the Democrats lose the presidency, but somehow take back the senate.
