On MSNBC now. OMG!

Some chances are better than none so I'm feeling down.

But I don't give up. We're paying a lot of attention and supporting local and state races plus supporting Dem candidates all over the country. You do what you can and that's not chopped liver.

fuck!

This one will probably make Gorsuch look like a lefty

Justice Anthony Kennedy to retire from Supreme Court.
2:01 PM · Jun 27, 2018

If Trump has his way, Kennedy's replacement won't have a mixed legacy at all.

Before the blue wave.

OMG. Well,it's too late now. Thanks to all Jill Stein voters and Dems SO convinced HRC would win that they didn't bother themselves enough to vote anyways - YOU did this. Hope you enjoy it.

Who did it is immaterial now though - I am feeling very nervous about our country. Kennedy didn't exactly end his legacy very well with the recent rulings, but he's still better than who the Moron will nominate.

being the most important election in our time. No it was 2016.

Decent, reasonable, law-abiding citizens are going to have a chance to slow down this runaway train, barring outside meddling and interference.

If 2018 doesn’t gain sentient Americans some breathing room between them and this destroy-everything freak show, then I’d say the prospects are grim in the long-haul.

This election (and the next) may be our only hope.

Kennedy handing his seat over to Trump is the most perfect example *ever* about how it is all the party of Trump. All of it. Kennedy looks down from SCOTUS and sees the man in the White House and says “Yes. Him. I want him to be the one to choose my replacement.”

Fetus personhood.

she won't make it through a second trump term.

McConnell and R's knew that they were going to get two seats for the foreseeable future. They will move the country more to the right for the next 25-30 years.

5-4, and I bet dollars to donuts that Thomas retires before the 2020 results if it looks like there is even a remote possibility of the Democrats regaining either the Senate or the Presidency.


Thomas -70
Alito - 68
Roberts - 63
Gorsuch - 50

The next Gorsuch - under 50.
The final Gorsuch - under 50.

And if Ginsberg (85) doesn't make it to 2020, then it will be 6-3.

What are the odds we can block any appointment at least until we can take the Senate?

Depends on how extreme the nominee is.

Assuming a far-right-wing SCOTUS and PREZ don’t declare elections “disloyalty to the state.”

We are so fucked. So totally fucked. There’ll be a far-right SCOTUS probably well past the rest of my life.

over at Fox.

the new justice will be confirmed well ahead of november elections. Ginsburg is next.

has had others write his opinions for 20 years. Why not stick around and let Ginsberg write his if he is feeble.

The only decision now is how to play out the days that are left. Every sucker for her/himself I guess.

We are soooooooooo fucked.

Way to go, America.

Wave goodbye to freedom and democracy, the fascist theocracy republic of Gilead is right at the door now!!!!!

They're rich, white, right-winged males. They don't care what could/may happen to this country because they & their families have theirs.
