Bernie, Stien, Johnson voters have really screwed us all, to show how spiteful they could be. Couldn't see the importance of the main goal.
-
So right. This is going to be painful. Many are too young to have any idea. Their arrogance or short sightedness will hurt them the most.
-
As if Hillary was their fault. She was unelectable. We need a hero not a zero.
-
It's crazy to me some on the left are ok letting the worst of the worst control of the country as long as they got to stick it to Hillary.

Very clear before the 2016 elections that fate of
#SCOTUS for generation depended on outcome http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/supreme-court-greatest-civil-rights-cause … via@TPM -
And we blew it.

Democrats need to pack the court in 2021. Period.
-
I don't think we can honestly expect rbg and Stevens to last that long. I hope they do.
-
Sorry: I mean that Democrats need to appoint a judge for every last judge Trump appoints, whatever the number of judges that results in.

9 judges isn't a constitutional principle. It's a peace treaty. One which the Republicans violated when they held the pick.

It's a dangerous precedent, ala the nuclear confirmation of justices option

Not sure about the "choice" in your Update: why not use it to boost turnout, then confirm in lame duck if they lose the Senate?
-
I had same thought.But it wd test McConnell's powers of hypocrisy to justify leaving seat open, then confirm if lose
-
Which of course is what McConnell would have done with Garland if HRC won and the Senate flipped in 2016.
-
Exactly. But it was less outrageous when price was Garland vs. younger liberal. Imagine T's choice now

Well, we do see how the GOP fell in line 2 vote for Trump so they could steal Garland's seat. Republicans pols hoping for the same in 2018
-
If GOP isn't held accountable for STEALING SUPREME COURT NOMINEE...WHAT DOES AMERICA STAND FOR? No one stopped the GOP from rigging SCOTUS?
