Fojar38 posted:He lived juuuuuuust long enough to see gay marriage legalized everywhere. And with any luck, getting trolled on that is what finally pushed him over the edge. I'm just a humble internet sociopath, but it seems to me no one should be particularly sad about this. I'm sure it's horrible for his loved ones, and they have my sympathy, but the man was a craven shill and had no problem loving over millions of people without even the veneer of internal consistency. The United States was just made a nicer place solely by this.

evilweasel posted:Predictit is still giving odds of about 35%-40% Obama gets someone confirmed, which I don't quite get. I keep wondering what I'm missing, or if I should just start collecting the free money. Speaking as a poker player, I'd take 35% odds. I would peg it as an underlay to 42% or so, plus I personally feel he'll get someone through. 11 months is a long time for something as highly visible as a Supreme Court absence. Even if the media coverage is a blassé "nope still no Supreme Court justice," it still keeps the issue on the forefront of people's minds that, hey, why don't we have a Supreme Court justice yet? I also think Obama's first nomination will fail no matter who it is, and he'll use that to put forth a second candidate without whatever vociferous objections they had during the first pick. Stonewalling that pick plus high visibility should finally get them to cave, idk, eight months from now? I'm pulling numbers out of my rear end here but they feel right!

evilweasel posted:I wouldn't be shocked if in a few years Obama gets bored and gets himself another Senate seat. Wouldn't they still have to refer to him as "Mr. President?" That seems like it would get confusing.
