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.

Any ideas who will be nominated as his replacement?


No matter what, "here's why this person is bad".

You are correct: every person Trump would pick will have a list of decisions showing them to be terrible for women, workers, and LGBT people.

no idea whatsoever, but if you're interested, Gorsuch was pulled from a list circulated by the Heritage Foundation iirc which eventually became this:

You know who would be a perfect choice? Merrick Garland, he is a judge both the democrats and respect. Plus the irony. It would show that it was nothing personal and that the republicans only shot down his nomination because of Obama.

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.

Im not sure why he was selected. What I mean when I say 'pulled' is that he was the one chosen from the list of ~21 or so potential nominees that Trump released

This list initially circulated prior to the 2016 election. It was part of his strategy to win the presidency, by making the supreme court nomination a key part of his get out the vote efforts

Whew, I need to catch up on who all of those are.

Is there a tl;dr on why Gorsuch was pulled?

He's young and makes consistent rulings.

Trump is pretty good at finding the worst people in this country and promoting them to powerful positions, so it wouldn't surprise me if he picks someone worse than anyone else has been in US history.

R.I.P. Rode v Wade and other civil rights and things that would help non-rich people and corporations. Those other liberal supreme court justices might as well retire now as they're just as useful as the chair they sit in. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just flat out didn't attend hearings at this point.

I think you're overreacting a bit. The supreme court very rarely rules twice on an issue. I'd say the only thing really at risk is Roe v Wade since the evangelicals have been gunning for it day end and day out.

Ladies, you better stock up on birth control pills while you've got the chance. Or get one of those implants. Because your uterus is about to become a war zone.
