Ginsberg Passes Away

[Kaleredar]

I'm about 95% sure that American democracy just died today.

They will put a lunatic on the court who will rubber stamp whatever.

The GOP will torpedo the elections come November, contest it, drag it to the SCOTUS who will then hand the Presidency to Trump (keep in mind they have already done this once back in 2000 under a lot less shady circumstances).

And then the arrests for "sedition" can begin.

Then we’ll deal with that if it comes. But like I said, they want despair and defeat. And I ain’t giving them the satisfaction.

The republicans are not more popular in the US. Trump does not hold the hearts and minds of the people. Every metric and every poll shows him unequivocally trailing. If democrats can get out the vote, the a trump defeat is assured. If there is contention because of his attempts at mail-in malfeasance, keep in mind that these matters don’t go straight to the Supreme Court. If they’re challenged on a state-by-state basis, then they’re ruled on as such. And not every court on the way is stocked in trumps favor.

Democrats need to put in all their effort to smear and block any Candidate Chosen by Trump.

The GOP are beyond corrupt and deplorable racists.

[PACOX]

An amazing person who put everything she had into making this country a better place.

Rest In Power.

We are already there we are the minority in the court. Trump electing another nut job may actually force Democrats to fix our judicial system. The whole concept of lifetime appointments is crazy to me these people can't turn on their PCs by themselves deciding on technology.

I disagree that we're already there; Roberts at least has integrity in my opinion. Now, they won't even need him.

[jonnysensible]

lol some geezer on fox news saying sieze the moment and end roe v wade

not even 20 mins later lmao

[Gestopft]

FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK

RIP to RBG

Also, vote, and hope that somehow McConnell can’t get someone through before Jan.

[Kokolums]

I suspect Justice John Roberts will move to the left to preserve the balance.

He votes with them 99 out of 100, he is only concerned about his legacy.

Roberts is the only conservative judge that could be hoped to rule to protect the elections in November. Him with the remaining 3 liberal judges will now be overruled by the solid majority of 3 guaranteed lunatics Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh +whatever lunatic will replace RBG.

Gorsuch is the only one that could possibly rule with Roberts, but that's a long shot.

He will but Susan Collins, Tom Tillis can kiss their Senate seats goodbye with that vote.

[CostinR]

May she rest in peace. The US and really the world lost a great legal mind. It was sadly inevitable the moment her cancer metastasized.

[Benggaul]

Collins is likely gone anyway, given recent polling.

They haven't really made it a secret that they're stacking the courts to end abortion and gay marriage. It's just suddenly it seems far more likely that they'll be able to do it.

[Benggaul]

Apparently both Romney and Murkowski have committed to NOT confirming a new Justice until after the inauguration.

All eyes on Collins.

[Draco-Onis]

It's still close but my point is they will get a supreme court judge and we will get the senate because all the swing state republicans will have to fall on their swords to do this. The supreme court is already lost in my book not a bad trade and this will force the next democratic president to do something about the courts.

[Sorshen]

Time for freedom to die for some 30 years I guess.

[Gestopft]

He will but Susan Collins, Tom Tillis can kiss their Senate seats goodbye with that vote.

And more to the point, Dems will have ZERO compunctions in stacking the court next time they can, if McConnell shoves a justice through now

Collins is very concerned and is sure Trump learned his lesson from Kavanaugh.

yup win win.

Her numbers suck, she's probably fucked, so she doesn't have any skin in the game about this election. She'll vote where it'll get her the most money after her election loss.

[Themius]

This is the long game the republicans have been playing. Trump is a passing useful idiot for them to cram through as many long-term appointments as possible.

All of you “woke progressives” and “Bernie or bust bro’s” out there that don’t think that Biden is or Hillary was “progressive” enough... THIS is what seeing your agenda set back by decades looks like.

Now, your progressive ideals that you refused to take an inch on because it wasn’t a mile may very well simply die at the Supreme Court level. For the next 20-30 years.

Come the fuck off it.

HILLARY WON THE MAJORITY and the voting outcome frankly came down to three states and a few ten thousand votes in areas that aren't even all that progressive to begin with" So trying to blame it on "progressives" is stupid.

Why not blame it on all the people voting for fucking crazy republicans? We literally now have a QANON person! Did progressives do that?
