    What are your predictions for the upcoming midterms? You think the GOP can hold both Houses?

    It was wrong then and it's wrong now, imo. But since the entirety of American politics revolves around whataboutisms now, you gotta win the game or you die

    Mike Lee or Joan Larsen. Both are still in their 40’s and could serve decades on the bench.

    I think a President should have a maximum of one appointee per term. If more than one justice appointee is needed in that time, he can appoint a temporary nominee. Just seems to potentially give a President too much long term sway given how long these justices serve.

    I underestimate it, and say do exactly as you say, so as to finally show how few “evangelicals” actually still exist.

    Congress determines the number, eventually the court is going to be 50 members because of this exact issue.

    In 20 years, when boston’s guy still has 20 years left, and Trump is long gone, they’ll just add 2 seats to a democrat president and make this seat half as useful today.

    So, glee?

    My one hope is, get the evangelicals out there, and get them loud loud and on speaker.

    Let’s get them to weigh in vs the average American on the morality of:

    - pornography
    - marijuana
    - gay marriage

    Loud, loud, loud. And then abortion.

    Don Willet is a Trump nominee, and assigns two books to all new law clerks - both written by Scalia.

    These people are responsible for an 81 year old retiring?

    Or for idiots posting on the internet?

    I figured as much.

    It’s like when Anonymous gave kudos to themselves for Egypt’s revolution, because some fax machine spit out 500 black pages.

    This is like that, but on reddit instead of irc.

    Sometimes doing the right thing can hurt your party, but that is what “right over party” means.

    Those that need to make a point of “party over right” would certainly want to highlight this, to them, failure.
