Goddamnit. RIP to a great American. I fear American democracy is going to die with her. 

Fuck Trump and fuck Mitch McConnell. 

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2649]

Roberts is now pretty much going to be leader of the “liberal” wing. How fucking crazy Is that?  2020 is a nightmare 

[Michael Knight 13187]

Mitch will try to ram someone thru Trump will say vote for me or the liberals will ruin America by putting AOC on the bench. When he loses the election then he'll ram in Don Jr

Dotard and Mitch say challenge accepted. We are fucked.

The position will be filled....it's going to be a bloodbath.  Jesus fucking christ

Yeah, Trump uses this and then rams through whoever regardless of outcome. Democrats better use it too.

[Parliament 14560]

Yeah I look forward to getting a Conservative there, but my God the hate and acrimony this is gonna bring out.

[Dbeasy 15526]

I am devastated. Seriously.

[Brandywine 1326]

Would bet money Trump and his family and Republican Senators are high fiveing and laughing.

The republic just died. It’s over. He controls the court. There’s nothing left to stop him. He can do whatever he wants with the election, they’ll back him. The country is lost.

What I think is irrelevant. Are they allowed to do it during the lame duck session? If so, they'll do it then.

Yup.  If this doesn’t motivate young people to get out at vote that piece  of shit out of office they deserve the world they will inherit.

And let Mitch and Dotard install someone after the election.  The pressure to pack the court will be overwhelming.

[travelingtexan 198]

is it, much like the last election, conservatives just stay quiet.....or is this site really, in Texas, primarily a bunch of liberals? 

[Celery Man 21076]

If they do it, we need to get rid of the electoral college, bring in DC and PR, pack the court, everything else.

[SquishMitten 10493]

And that was nine months prior. This is six weeks.

Ah, well, but that was at the end of 8 years and we knew there was going to be a different president. Now, we’re confident that President Trump will be re-elected so there’s no reason to delay a nomination. Totally different situations. - Moscow Mitch, probably

Nope.  Once again, your estrogen is showing.  Take the Oval Office and pack the fucking Court.  13 ought to do it.  Fuck every Republican in the United States.

Can Supreme Court justices be impeached or removed?  I thought I heard that during Kavanaugh's "vetting."

That's the problem right there.

It’s very possible taking the Oval Office will require SCOTUS involvement.

Trump is probably getting reelected anyway. She wasn't making it another 4 years. 

[horncyclist 1391]

My heart goes out to her family and America but I wish they would have weekend at bernies'd it for a few months. Some voice recordings, deep fakes over Zoom. It could have worked.

Just vote out Dotard band the republican Senate, and this will be okay. Like someone said up thread, either new president picks or you pack the court.

 

[David Dennison 19441]

6-3 court for who knows how long.

That is a legacy.

She was an American hero. It’s a small consolation, but I’m happy she isn’t going to have to witness the next 4 months, or longer.

I have a feeling there's going to be a pretty big riot in DC on the night of Nov 3rd.

This is a slow motion train wreck.  You can see it coming but can't stop it.  Nazi Germany here we come.

[Surly Bevo 25655]

They won't do it before the election.  They'll use it to turn out their base.

This is very optimistic.

Yes, but you need 67 votes in the Senate to convict--not going to happen.

Your only realistic option is to pack the Court.
