if you think about it.this Republican refusal to confirm or even meet with anyone Obama might appoint to the supreme Court is pretty hosed up. When trump gets president if I were a Democrat i would be like No gently caress you i'm not confirming your appointee either right? and each party can just refuse rto confirm the other party's appointee because they dont want the cour tgoing in the other party's favor. We'll be at 8 justices for awhile as both parties continue to filibuster but Kennedy Ginsburg and Breyer are like 80ish so soon we will be down to a 5 person supreme court,. Then the remaining justices will probably hang in for another decade or so before they start falling off again... i think the last three supreme court justices in the history of the United States will be Roberts, Kagan, and Sotomayor... Kagan is the youngest by sevweral years so shes the odds on favorite to be the final justice, the person with the power to write the final and binding judicial decisions that no one will ever have the chance to overturn again, to select all the cases she wants and set all the precedents to her liking. But I think John Roberts is gonna be just kind of biding his time, he'll k eep losing 2-1 decisions to Kagan and Sotomayor but he's gonna be doing like all this intense physical training he'll be doing like 100s of situps and all kinds of cardio and hes gonna get insanely buff but nobody will be able to tell what hes got going on under that robe but hes gonna have like a personal chef and five dieticians and he'll be taking all kinds of supplements and writing up draft opinions for allthese different issues like abortion and privacy and guns and everything to get prepared. Kagan will be turning 90 and wondering why hes still alive and them ome day she'll catch him chuigging down a protein shake and hastily wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his robe and shell just be like OH gently caress.

Another day without scalia, another day without the sunlight in my life, everything has just gone gray since he passed, and I don't know what is more despicable, death, or you rowdy fellows.

Meanwhile, a liberal checks in on the issue: The sky is insanely blue today. The sun is shining, the critters are doing critter things, and the city throbs with life. But best of all, Scalia was still dead when I woke up again. This is America as it was meant to be. This is the best of all possible worlds. *Unashamedly does a war dance on top of scalia's grave, bevause there is no wrong in celebrating the passing of evil*

It's a shame Scalia's retirement was caused by his death, but it's unquestionably A Good Thing that he's no longer interpreting the Constitution for maximum oppression from the bench.

BillmasterCozb posted:scalia was a good man with dumb views on homosexuality He may or may not have been a good man. I didn't know him. I doubt he was good given how reprehensible his court opinions were, but I'll decline to judge. I won't decline to judge that he was a godawful justice. And he wasn't going to stop being an utter poo poo justice until he died. So yes, I am glad that he's dead. Actuallly thrilled and sexually satisfied would be a better description. I'm liberal.

Obama mentioning the Republican as a possibility has to be one of my all time favorite trolls of the GOP of his Like imagine being that dude, having a chance at this prestigious lifelong appointment and you can't even entertain the idea of accepting because your whole party thinks it's a trick because they think you're a secret liberal RINO

The trolls keep on coming from Obama: http://www.nationallawjournal.com/id=1202750846454/Source-DC-Judge-Ketanji-Brown-Jackson-Vetted-for-Scalia-Seat?cmp=share_twitter quote:During her confirmation hearing, she received support from Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, who is related to her by marriage. Ryan expressed his “unequivocal” support for her nomination to the D.C. court.
