Now we just need to make sure JUDGE KAVANAUGH throws crooked Christine Blasey Ford in the slammer forever!

Dems are probably losing in November too

I a missing everything except her very opening remarks, what about Garland?

She mentioned how Kavanaugh voted with KNOWN LIBERAL PIG Garland numerous times on the fed bench

Why do you feel this way?

Polls say otherwise and this decision will motivate the liberal base like nothing else could.

You know a lot of this shit is Hillary’s fault!

That’s right. I said it.

Probably a good time to start thinking about ways to overturn Marbury v. Madison. Old right wing diatribes about evil counter-majoritarian Supreme Court decisions might be a good starting point.

Another idea to consider is to win the Presidency and the Congress in 2020, and pack that court. Also, throw in 8 year terms while we're at it for any judge appointed after 2016.

As much or more Obama. Or the backlash to him at the very least.

Didn’t do them much good in 2012. But I was refreshing the old Chris Rock bit, probably with poor timing

Manchin's a doofus, too

He is just playing the game. Still better than having a mini-Trump with an (R) next to his name representing WV.

Wouldn't be shocked if he switched parties though.

It will be hilarious when Roe v. Wade gets overturned and Collins acts dismayed because he was steadfast in his belief that it was “established law”

Or maybe just two years...people die in their 60s and 70s all the time.

Everyone acts like it is a guarantee that the conservatives on the court are going to live until they are 90.

You think that Alito and Roberts will both vote to overturn?

Isn't Gorsuch on record that he will not vote to overturn?

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are both in their early 50s

Yes, and it only takes one of the olds to kick the bucket after 1/2021, presuming Trump doesn't get re-elected, and we are back to a 5-4 split. In fact, if a true liberal replaces Thomas, Alito, or Roberts then the court will be even more liberal than it was Kennedy as the swing vote.

Why always assume the worst?

Here's the deal: we need to figure out how to take back the White House and hold it down for a couple of decades.

what they'll do is gut PP v Casey which already limited Roe v Wade

Would they have to overturn it? Couldn't they just create some super strict restriction that would all but outlaw it?

yes, they'll rule to uphold various undue burdens on women that previously PP v Casey has been used to strike down

The two oldest justices (both in their 80s I believe) are both liberal. Any justice dying is likely to be more of a problem for liberals rather than conservatives. Nevermind the fact that one can retire which is how we got this current opening in the first place. Assuming the worst is just a consequence of reality. Republican presidents have filled far, far more spots since the late 60s than Democrats have.

Trump tweeted that protestors were “paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad.”

Right before the vote. Soros man, that guy.

Eh, recognizing the worst case scenario and assuming it will come to fruition are two different things.
