Like...if Trump executed the Dhali Lama while standing on the 9/11 memorial, Seph would be like "Libs are pissed about this; this is GREAT."

Nah, unlike your side I think the Dali Lama is a hero for fighting against the oppressive force of Communism.

I am not sure how you don't understand how Seph acts by now.

Near as I can tell, Seph is just one of those "anything that makes the libs angry makes me happy" types.

Nah, Seph is just "fuck you, got mine" in human form.

For real though how many justices can the chamber accommodate.

I'm thinking we start with 11 and then depending on how the GOP acts we go all the way to 15.

RING THE FUCKING BELL

BRETT "THE HITMAN" KAVANAUGH IS THE NEXT JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT

Conservatives have a true majority and are set to stop 50+ years of the Left using the Court to further their unpopular/unconstitutional agenda instead of allowing it to occur democratically.

Incredible

Really the only word I can use to properly convey this feeling right now. This is the biggest victory for liberty and American conservatism since the end of the Cold War. Get used to saying "Justice Kavanaugh," because you will likely be saying that until you are at least SIXTY YEARS OLD.

A one-two punch!

Not only was this a great political victory for conservatives, but this hopefully is the DEATH BLOW for the horrendously illiberal, dirty, slimy, witch hunt that is the #MeToo movement. Feminism deserves better than "Believe all women" and "her truth"-ing. Hopefully this signals the beginning of the end for this disgraceful era of American history. @ExThaNemesis

The Media exposed

I have never been a fan of labeling everything Fake News, but this whole process was so transparently biased that I think people are starting to open their eyes. Never before have we seen so many Democrat talking points echoed by their Media counterparts so blatantly and so obviously with the intention to sink this nomination.

BUT WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT KAV COULD SWIM TO SHORE

After the manipulative liar Christine Blassey Ford perjured herself in front of the Senate, so many talking heads said that it was over for The Hitman. But he came out swinging, and by the end of his Lincolnian 45-minute opening remarks, he had his opponents in an inescapable Sharpshooter.

There is no taking this victory away

Win the Senate in the midterms (won't happen), win the White House in 2020 (won't happen)--it doesn't matter. This is the most profound victory for the movement in generations. All you can do is cry, qq, cry moar, qq more, and *gasp* FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO THAN WORRY ABOUT POLITICS. You now have a Supreme Court that will no longer butt into your everyday life.

In closing

The Left put everything they had against it--from saying millions will die, to smearing Judge Kavanaugh's name, to literally fabricating rape allegations--and nevertheless we persisted and emerged with the W. Thank you Susan Collins. Thank you Lindsey Graham. Thank you Chuck Grassley. Thank you Mitch McConnell. Thank you President Trump. This is our World Series. We'll be flying this banner for life.

So... @UltimaterializerX -- the only question that remains is... HOW DO WE FLY ALL OF THESE Ws???

Jesus Christ, stop fucking quoting that fucking sociopath. Stop fucking responding to him entirely. He's not even posting information to respond to. It's just making shit up to blatantly troll. So fucking put him on ignore so the rest of us don't have to suffer his bullshit.

Again, you do know it's trivial to put more than 9 Justices on the court, right? The only reason it hasn't been done has been the filibuster and the lost political capital and both of those are clearly out.

Okay, throwing aside Kavanaugh braving the allegations for at least the THIRD GODAMNED TIME this century in the Republican Party (great, now I have to be mad at Arnold for setting the precedent), well, I just still don't know how to put it into words how angry I am at all the smearing of Ford. All I can say is that dismissing her claims just because of how "well-timed" they are is straight-up misogyny.

To troll. Literally the only reason why a flaming asshole who took the name "Nelson Mandela" would commemorate any time anyone gives him the slightest bit of credit. But he's CLEARLY a rape apologist for the sake of riling people up, and responding to him ruins the point of the rest of us ignoring his bullshit.

Yeah for real I think that post should surely be the shutdown point for people who still gave SephG the time of day in these topics. Surely the responses have to stop now? What are you still doing? You find it offensive or misogynistic to attack Christine Ford? Then why propagate SephG's posts by responding to him? Your lack of self-discipline and awareness ultimately leads to hypocrisy.

Not really. They had one nomination stolen from them and another nominee that was unpopular among independents.

The right is losing more and more of the female vote, too. God help you if Kavanaugh actually rules something like Iowa's heartbeat law is constitutional, you wanna talk whirlwinds?
---

Let's not be too happy about Kavanaugh. Let's see how he actually rules when he sits on the Supreme Court. But I'm glad that silliness is over.
---

It's not about questioning the allegations. Of course they should be questioned. But the fact that there are people seriously calling our society a "feminist matriarchy" just because of this isn't just absurd, it's VERY thinly-veiled sexism.

Like I said, at this point I'm convinced many bigots are just spotlighting "political correctness gone mad" to justify their racism or sexism or whatever other -ism or -phobia. I can't believe I got swept up in all this just because James Rolfe was attacked by feminists over not wanting to see Ghostbusters.

Constitution sets no limits on the number of judges on the bench. If Congress decides its 21, the SC can't rule on it.

And you didn't believe in Trump during the election Sephy. 2 justices in 2 years. He knows the art of the deal and who not to deal with (Democrats).

The Supreme Court can do whatever it wants. I'd assume a transparent court packing bill after nuking the filibuster (the only way it would ever happen) would get shot down by the 5 conservatives on the bench.

Anyway, you all will stop caring about this once you realize a conservative SCOTUS will have way less impact on your life than a liberal SCOTUS.

That would trigger a constitutional crisis. But court packing won't work with the public and Democrats are way too incompetent at Congress to make it happen. They could barely pass Obamacare with 60 senators!

In the meantime, we can get some rulings protecting gerrymandering and entrenching that House majority.

Not really, a law would have to work it's way through the lower courts before even reaching the SC for a proper ruling. Dems could use the time to quickly confirm two justices with the simple majority and then those two new liberal justices would be ruling on said law.

For Immediate Release

The Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh will be sworn in as the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court on October 6, 2018. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., will administer the Constitutional Oath and retired Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy will administer the Judicial Oath in a private ceremony later today in the Justices Conference Room at the Supreme Court. Both oaths will be administered so that he can begin to participate in the work of the Court immediately.

A formal investiture ceremony will take place at a special sitting of the Court in the Courtroom at a later date.

I mean, the idea anyone can talk about a matriarchy after this is just absurd.

An all-male republican senate judiciary committee (who said no women have ever served on the committee in their party cause it would be "too much work") just appointed a guy with multiple sexual assault allegations to the supreme court.

The women were not believed because it was inconvenient for the men in power (they believed Al Franken's accusers, though, because that was politically beneficial to them).

Women in this story come across as pawns at best, not a controlling force.

Senate predix!

Heitcamp and McCaskill lose

Cruz and Blackburn win

All other close races go to the Dems

I think (?) that nets the GOP one seat

Oral arguments that Kavanaugh missed out on this past week due to the delay of his confirmation:

Endangered Species Act Weyerhaeuser Co. v. Fish and Wildlife Service
Age Discrimination in Employment Act Mount Lemmon Fire District v. Guido
Sex Offender Registration Gundy v. United States
Stay of Execution Madison v. Alabama
Property Owners/Federal takings claims Knick v. Scott
Federal Arbitration Act New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira

Nothing too important I guess.
