PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

So now we're going to have a 6-3 D court? Awesome.

How's that awesome? That would be a disaster. The US would never recover from that calamity.

Looks like poor Ljube is afraid of progress Sad

That's not progress. That's tyranny.


So going through the Constitutional process of appointing judges to the Supreme Court is tyranny? Mhm, I understand now.

Was it tyranny when Republican Presidents filled almost the entire court in 70s and 80s?

He never should have been confirmed in the first place.

Thanks to moderate heroes Chuck Robb and David Boren.

You mean when they were appointing people like Brennan, Blackmun, Stevens, and Souter? No, even though they did tend to have pisspoor opinions.

What about Rehnquist, Powell, Burger or Scalia, followed by Thomas in early 1990s? Not to mention O'Connor who leaned to the right more frerquently than not.
