Supreme Court Justice kennedy retires
I would like to thank Harry Reid for invoking the nuclear option when it suited his needs. What’s good for the goose.

For SCOTUS?

I just assumed that you were aware of the history of this rule of order, brought to the Senate floor by Mr Reid. It allows passage of vote by simple majority of 51, which is an easier target to attain than the normal passage vote needed which was 60. So end result is, after an eight year reign where a group played with the rules to hold us by the short hairs.... the tide has changed and is being used against those who invoked this option. Please note, Jeff, that this is NOT a pro-Trump post. Simply an answer to your answers feigning surprise and disdain….. |
I'd prefer 9 middle of the roaders.

To take it a step further, I would prefer 100 middle of the roaders in the Senate too. |

This is exactly what I find so nauseating. You project the idea of a landmark decision being overturned into a discussion about the procedure of appointment.... and then assign that idea to another, if only to propagate your agenda. It reminds me of debating with conspiracy theorists about NASA, 9/11, Newtown, flat earth, etc....

I don't think there are any "middle of the roader's" in today's environment. There will always be issues with any nominee by both sides. This is bound to be nasty, I watched some clips of Clarence Thomas where he basically said he was "lynched" in the approval process. Trumps lasting legacy whether we like it or not will be the shape of the Supreme Court in years to come.

I don’t expect roe to get overturned. I do expect a shift away from liberal activism, and damn right that has me giddy. I remember exactly how I felt whan I heard Scalia died, I can’t believe how much better things are than I feared, all because McConnell finally grew a pair and held off obama.

He opened it for everything else, excluding this. Better Hope RBG hangs on for 6 more years (FWIW I want to see a fairly balanced SCOTUS without Kook Left and Kook right) |

Obama got Elena Kagan confirmed in a midterm year, and there were republicans who voted for her.

I have great regard for process, and I want my side to follow the same process as the other side, I don’t want my side to self impose a higher hurdle, that’s stupid. The gop controls the senate. With that, come the same exact perks the dems enjoyed when they last controlled the senate. If the American people don’t like it, they can make a change in 2010, but the gop will be more likely to gain senate seats than lose them. Several democrats up from state’s trump won.

When Justice Thomas was confirmed, the Dems. controlled the Senate 57-43.
