Anthony Kennedy Retires

[Olerand]

Wow I almost thought I clicked the Abortion thread......

Well, its quickly become that since lefties have this real odd fetish for abortion.

Only in America have "rightists" and "lefties" fetishized abortion. So... Fair is fair.

Not as hard as the fetish righties have for banning abortion, especially since they control the government now. But hey, it'll revitalize the coathangar industry at least.

If only the DNC ran with Bernie Sanders...

Ooookay...

Sanders would have crushed Trump.

Clinton was controversial and lost because of it. The corrupt DNC slit its own throat by rigging the primaries against their best candidate.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Turns out that Brett Kavanaugh is also a former Kennedy clerk and seems pretty firmly on the right of the court and could get wide GOP support. My bet is someone like him makes it through pretty quickly.

With how everything bad in the world is Clinton's fault I'm surprised no one has tried to kill her yet.

And just how far-right is this far-right ideologue?

That is pretty true.

If the Democrats can do anything, they will. May not be quick.

He doesn't seem particularly noteworthy tbh. He's dissented against cases where circuit courts uphold gun control and has a small record on abortion. Nothing too shocking or groundbreaking though.

It's not her fault per se, it's the fault of the DNC who undercut their best chance for a win so they could go with an arguably more established candidate with a famous name.

Then this is the best case scenario.

The court will be more conservative. They actually might try to overturn gay marriage, and the walls will come tumbling down if they do.

Now if we can only get Ginsberg to follow suit.

If she does, I'd actually think that we could say goodbye to abortion...

And that would be a huge setback. I truly hope it never happens.

She thought she was entitled to be president whether she deserved it or not. She is still blaming everyone but herself. The DNC was suppose to run a fair primary, they didnt, so ultimately the party is responsible.

Coathangar sales would skyrocket.

Look for GOP Senators Corker or Flake and/or possibly Collins to insist this nominee will have to be purely a jurist, free from political taint. With McCain ill, two of these senators can deny it, that is if all the Dems also vote no. Therefore, Trump will likely nominate Michael Cohen. Hey, lol, he hasn't been indicted yet.

Or Giuliani. Maybe he'll throw Christie a bone.

One name that someone mentioned to me and could be interesting is Patrick Wyrick of the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Fought against Obamacare and is only 37.

I do blame the DNC, I wanted Sanders to win. I'm just personally not certain how much of what went into the decision-making process was up to her, so I don't want to jump the gun and blame her if she doesn't deserve it.

Or Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions? Then Trump hires a new AG who fires Rosenstein. Now there's a massive burn.

Kennedy is leaving July 31st, the new Justice will be in before the election.

McConnel is such a fucking piece of shit denying Obama his scotus seat just because of "an election year".

Walls as in?

as in massive public outcry and backlash. A Majority of people support same sex marriage and adoption

And it's not going to be repealed.

[Longweather]

So despite having almost total control of the government the Republicans are still facing too much opposition to get things done?

I can't figure that one out either. It's the demos fault I guess....

Much like it was the Republicans' fault when Obama had a majority in both houses of Congress but not a supermajority in the Senate.

Kiss of death jinx right there. Take it back, man. Just delete it.
