Congrats on entirely missing the point. And she didn't always do her reading or pay attention to the world around her. She called Kaepernick's protests "dumb" without even knowing what the fuck it was about.https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/10/14/13289256/ruth-bader-ginsburg-kaepernick-harsh …

Democrats controlled the Senate in 2013, and if McConnell had tried to permanently block Ginsburg's replacement Democrats could've nuked the filibuster for SCOTUS confirmation the way they just had for the lower courts, and as McConnell did anyway four years later

...Yes, because you need a majority to change procedural rules like the filibuster, and in 2016 the Democrats were in the minority They could've nuked the filibuster *in 2013, when they were in the majority* It's not actually complicated

Brett Kavanagh is a Justice now, as is Amy Coney Barrett, because McConnell DID nuke the filibuster in 2017, FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON Do you think that only Republicans get to change the rules, like it's their special superpower and we just have to accept that

I mean, historically the argument has been "if we change the rules, then they'll change the rules when they're in power, and that will be bad." Which doesn't really apply anymore, since they already did that.

Yes I don't know how to get through to people who don't get it that the worst case scenario has already happened McConnell lifted all the guardrails so they could put the Boofer and the Handmaid on the court and keep them there for the next 40 years
