I agree. But the things that are being said do not honor this legacy in that way.

He has big shoes to fill. And filling them through the democratic process that he fought so hard for is perhaps tthe greatest way to honor his legacy. But that's not the nature of the discourse that's happening right now.

Yup. He fought so long and hard for the right for people to do that.

I think it’s more about the timing & sensibility of the matter. I’m completely obsessed with horserace politics and even I’m not going to start posting about who might replace him in Congress while people are in shock/acute grief — there will be certainly be time for that!

He was 80 years old. There shouldn’t be any shock. We should wonder why anyone over 75 is still running for political office of any kind.

Election discourse about his seat right after he died is the problem, not that the election itself will exist.

All is fair in partisan politics. John Lewis was the ultimate partisan. In any case, remember how progressives were salivating when Scalia died?

He was unopposed in 7 of the last 9 generals. He failed to get 70 percent of the vote ONCE in 17 elections. Damn.

That’s a bad thing. We shouldn’t have lifetime appointments to legislatures. We need strict term limits. I say if 8 years is good enough for presidents, it’s good enough for Congress.
