Just lost it watching the senate proceedings tonight. This is the beginning of the end of separation of church and state and health care for millions. We've basically allowed a bunch of backward red states full of Bubbas and Jim Bobs overpower the Senate and stack the highest court with bigoted ideologues. I'm not even sure showing up to the polls to vote by now will even do anything. Just completely stunned and heart-broken. I don't have any answers.
That's a very bigoted post. Are you sure you want to be so abusive and intolerant?Just lost it watching the senate proceedings tonight.

If you are talking about abortion, it is murder pure and simple. Why shouldnt the SC be against murder???Just lost it watching the senate proceedings tonight.

whoopey, we now have an evangelizing Catholic heretic. As activist judge.Well you can begin by stopping to think you are in control and therefore had the power to allow or disallow something. Elections have consequences. The dems don't control the government.
You do and you have the democrats to thank. If they hadn't tried to swiftboat the last Justice and then impeach the POTUS on a BS theory, then there very well may have been the will within the GOP to wait until after the election for the vote at the very least.whoopey, we now have an evangelizing Catholic heretic.

Activist--------------No She will decide cases according to the Constitution.whoopey, we now have an evangelizing Catholic heretic. As activist judge.
Confirming Justice Amy is kind of Karma for the above actions of the democrats.You do and you have the democrats to thank.

It will get fixed next year, so hang in there, things will improve.Just lost it watching the senate proceedings tonight.

I think so as well. The other take-away is that if the SCOTUS gets out of step with popular opinion about high profile topics, calls for reform do start to happen which has had the historical effect of reigning the court back in as well. The population is becoming more liberal with demographic changes, so the court will have to change with it (and the justices are smart enough to know this)I think everyone is getting too worked-up over this. Pretty much every judge on the Court seems to do a pretty reasonable job. Those 'Republican' justices haven't delivered in the way everyone seems to think they would.
Though I will admit every now & then we do get a bad decision. Citizen United comes foremost to mind.

The courts won't strike down Constitutional laws just because they don't like them. Go vote, on Jan 22, these things can happen.Just lost it watching the senate proceedings tonight.

Because they follow the law?If you are talking about abortion, it is murder pure and simple. Why shouldnt the SC be against murder???
You do and you have the democrats to thank. If they hadn't tried to swiftboat the last Justice and then impeach the POTUS on a BS theory, then there very well may have been the will within the GOP to wait until after the election for the vote at the very least.
Mmm, the GOP got what they wanted on Garland, Kavanaugh, impeachment and now Barrett. Treating this as tit for tat seems a little silly. The better analogy would be having one’s cake and eating it too. When the real tit for tat comes it will be the GOP that deeply regrets their actions.You do and you have the democrats to thank.
