Thanks again, every person who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Hillary because she was sooooooo corrupt.

Nice story, but I hate to see the clerks careers ruined. A lawyer who can’t keep his mouth shut is not much of a lawyer.

Everybody understands why stories like this mean we have to work even harder to win elections next year, right? Right?

I don’t understand how anyone could willingly give a dangerous lunatic an (additional) appointment to the Supreme Court.

Well, at least we know Trump can’t nominate anyone for SCOTUS in the final year of his term.

Ha, ha, ha!! Oh geez, sometimes I crack myself up! :joy:

As long as that is your attitude, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Libtards everywhere deserve a good swift kick to the genitalia for insisting that there are no differences between the main parties, thus excusing their patent inability to understand the real impact of allowing a Republican to control who gets onto the Supreme Court.

It’s not an ‘attitude’, it’s objective reasoning based on very reasonable evidence:

Pull out of Paris Climate accord, check.
Appoint bosses of all Federal agencies who seek to destroy the agency they’re appointed to, check.
Steal a Supreme Court seat for a reich-wing fanatic whose dissenting opinions to date have only been to because the opinion wasn’t far-right enough, check.

etc. etc. etc.

God help us. However, I do sense that John Roberts is seeing the light more and might drift toward the liberals if another cretin is brought on. Hard to believe that little man from Kentucky has wrought all of this. I will express it again: I hope he burns in hell.

The Court needs another Justice Souter if troglodyte trump gets to make the appointment.

If Justice Kennedy retires, the only thing that can prevent another reactionary Judge like Trump GOP “justice” Gorsuch is a Democratic Senate majority elected next year. Of course, even that won’t help if Kennedy resigns before January, 2019. If he resigns anytime before then, the Trump GOP Senate will just rubberstamp any radical reactionary they wish.

Face it, the right wing has won…

The SCOTUS will rubber stamp the birth of a fascist white supremacist theocracy within 2 years of Kennedy’s retirement…

Read em’ and weep…

And then a different Kennedy’s words will be put to the test:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable
