On a other note, this is a big win for reps. Trump played a weak hand and won. The idiot did it again, makes me question his intelligence lol

Final Senate Vote on Judge Kavanaugh Underway (Saturday 3:30PM EST) [Update: Confirmed] (Read OP)
- Thread starter Etrian Oddity
- Start date
Doug Jones is sat in Jeff Session's old seat right now. Things can work out right when the Democrats are energized.
Ginsburg is old enough that it wouldn't be surprising if she died before Trump's term ends.
Collins is full of shit. She knows she'll be dead by the time BK enacts his revenge on minorities.
Don't kid yourself. Nothing substantial is going to happen. Y'all got an elected sexual assault admitter and nothing changed. America needs a good old fashion revolution and reconstruction of the constitution. Y'all getting played and are losing hardcore.
Republicans are in a bit of a dilemma here surely. It's like the carrot on the stick for Republican voters but what happens when they get the carrot?
If they don't try the Republicans have been playing them all along, obviously and if they do try then the backlash would be huge and you might see a massive drop in Republican voters because they won already on their big issue so why bother voting for them.
No it isn't...only the idiot, racist, misogynist, bigot, piece of shit ones...which there are too many of though these days sadly.
all i could have said has been said. nothing i can say now will change a thing. All I can do is wait to cast this vote of mine in november and cross my fingers that the voting system is real
pessimism says no, it's all an illusion. Optimism believes in this blue wave.
and no matter which of those feelings matter, i can still change nothing.
so im just going to defend those that need defending, help those i can help and ride this planet into the fucking ditch in the mean time! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They actually don't allow for judges to die from now to 2022
Very sorry to see that this asshole got through. Make sure to make these monsters pay the price in every election from now on, regardless of how big or small it is, the US Republican Party abandoned and dishonoured Lincoln's legacy and needs to be tossed aside for the good of not just your country, but for the rest of humanity as well.
Looking at the current numbers republicans will maintain control of the senate and the democrats will take back the house so when it comes to future supreme court picks the republicans are still gonna be deciding.
Nothings worked out recently is because they hold all the power.
Oh and its my Birthday today... so this really made it uhhhh fun.
I think this is a bad move for the GoP ultimately. If they had selected some right-wing, but even-tempered, boring and ostensibly "non-partisan" justice, they could reverse Roe V. Wade and people would simply say "elections have consequences" and "vote in November," but if it happens under Kavanaugh people will say the court is illegitimate.
What does elections matter when the SC can rule anything unconstitutional. Also this means that the SC will allow trump to pardon even state crimes very soon. If that happens trumps reign will start.
Thomas could retire soon as rumored, and the two oldest justices are Democrat-appointed justices in their 80s. It's pretty unthinkable that at least one won't leave the court in the next six years. It could easily happen in the next two. So Democrats better fucking take back the Senate and they better fucking do it this November.
I wouldn't say generations. He's 53 and a heavy drinker. He wont live past 75.
But yeah its shit.
Eh I don't talk to my family anymore, and while it's not directly a result of Trump, it's definitely a result of the years of racism and hate they spend their days spewing. Just awful people not just politically but also politically.
Rename the Republican Party to The Sexual Predators club.
Nothing changes until this place goes full French Revolution. Chopping blocks, heads, spikes - the works.
Although I'm usually cynical, even I have a hard time believing the US government would turn nukes against its populace, mostly because it'd be a Pyrrhic victory that's both geopolitically and socially impossible to come back from.
I don't know enough about Thomas but I feel like his seat would most likely be the next Trump pick.
RBG not retiring during Obama's tenure still has to be one of the more irritating things in Dem politics of the last 10 years or more. If she dies in her sleep tomorrow the country is pretty much boned for the next 50 years.
In 2020 RBG's 87 and Breyer's 82. Very likely he gets to replace at least one if he's re-elected, which means our best-case from today on is "hope" he only gets 2 SCOTUS picks instead of 3 or 4
They go after another one - gay rights, minority rights, religious discrimination, etc, etc.
And they'd probably push for extremely harsh penalties for women who terminate pregnancies while unplanned pregnancies will become a serious financial and legal burden for mothers unable to care for a child.
I mean, it can go far beyond just being overturned.
