So he's been adamanetly fighting reality on it and being a coward who refused to rock the boat because drat it we need to appease Trump and give him Czechslovakia so he doesn't attack us next.

REALTALK: The most amazing thing which has recently happened is that the narrative of "limp-wristed leftists" or whatever is being smashed as hard as Nazi's face and now it's all about "Left wing hate free speech  " or whatever which is just loving laffoLike if you are a nazi/fascist in Amerikkka at the moment and don't have all your nazi buds with you, you end up flat on the footpath and it's even a meme now

My favourite part about it is that they're still trying to use the, 'look at the tolerant left  ' thing, but it's been so overused in the last decade even 'centrist' libs kneejerk defend punching Nazis in the face.

sick of Applebees posted:Did you go to the counter rally on Sunday? I did not, it looks like it was a wet fart of about 20 people and it's not really presence building for them or anything. The event was in the middle of bumfuck nowhere (Logan) and there was an extremely heavy police presence because these guys are now walking punch magnets. e: The people who'd usually counter-protest these things weren't down for it. It was a few days after the ~massive~ invasion day protests in Brisbane so it basically flew under the radar. If they try poo poo in Brisbane proper, I am sure a counter-protest will materialise  In other newsIf anyone is interested, this is the counter-protest to a Anti-Choice/Anti-Abortion march which is occurring on Sat the 11th of Feb. This was previously a private event while we were doing the groundwork, but we've decided to make it public due to the large amount of support we are receiving. I am sort of shadow advising/planning because as a white guy I don't want to be taking the lead for what is essentially a women's rights thing. While this is a counter-protest, it's going to be pretty benign because the opposition will be the usual suspects who HATE abortions and poo poo, and it's it's really crucial that we oppose this kind of poo poo because the QLD Parliament will be debating decriminalising abortion in February. Currently, the LNP are completely opposed to decriminalising abortion, so it's down to the ALP and independents in order to get this running (I think PHON are against it).

All that noise and BS about freedom and they choose a demagogue who'll poo poo on the rights of 50% of the planet just because he can. The SCOTUS pick puts Democrats in a bind because while they can certainly contest it (under the arcane rules of cloture), he's likely to be a Scalia replacement (actually considered to the RIGHT of Scalia), and maybe pick another battle or risk the Republicans going nuclear again, tearing up the rules and just flat-out ignoring the Democrats from now on. And there's roughly 5 Democrats in red states, but a whole bunch more who are extremely blue and will want to fight it just so they have a shot at the nomination down the road. But all this pales against a lunatic with enablers who is doing 5 crazy things a day.

Opposing the SCOTUS pick is going to be difficult for them because unlike most of Trump's cabinet he's clearly qualified on paper and doesn't have any obvious red flags (so far). He's the kinda of judge that literally any Republican president in 2017 might pick. Which means Trump had very little to do with it outside of just listening to Sessions.

He's the kinda of judge that literally any Republican president in 2017 might pick. Yeah he's to the right of Scalia, as I said. The only good thing about this is that he just slots into an existing power structure 4 pro-liberal, 4 pro-conservative, 1 centrist. It gets interesting if a non-conservative dies or retires. There is no right battle for the Democrats, either you look at it and say may as well oppose now since they'll throw away the rulebook or you don't oppose and look bad. But if they do oppose now, and the rulebook is thrown away, that means they can't use it if another judge goes. That's the calculation aside from individual Democrat ambitions. Once that rulebook goes, they can do literally nothing because GOP will just steamroll everything. They literally may as well not even turn up then. So, to keep their options open for SCOTUS they may have to tread carefully, but I think that something else will trigger the nuclear option and they'll be hosed anyway. At this point, I'd be working hard at the State level of opposition since that's likely to be the way to really put SCOTUS in a bind. The fear is also that if they don't get their way, GOP will nobble courts. Interesting loving times eh. Also, go China! Because the US became the bad option.

I really hope they do oppose him but given how they've caved on loving crazy poo poo like Carson or DeVos I don't hold much hope. It's difficult for them because they're way too tied to the idea of looking respectable and sensible and bipartisan.

No it's gone way beyond that. There's no hope of bipartisanship, all that is going to matter is how good you look being steamrolled every day. It's going to be literally which votes did you oppose, why did you abstain, you didn't take the fight to them etc etc. Really the only slender hope is that the GOP massively overdo it and get a huge backlash from all quarters. I don't see a great improvement in the midterms, GOP should have gerrymandered that quite well by then.
