The Supreme Court

[B]

now the SCOTUS

[McParadigm]

Modern conservatism seems like it’s in a real healthy place right now

[BurtReynolds]

Why do they always look like this?

[McParadigm]

if Kavanaugh was involved, he low key tried to frame a classmate

[McParadigm]

Scheming to falsely accuse someone who you know is innocent while also whining how awful it is that your guy is falsely accused

[LetMeSleep]

Jesus, Ralph Norman is a fucking idiot.

[Birds in Hell]

I can't get my head around how politicised the US Supreme Court is, this whole process with Kavanaugh is unfathomably bizarre.

[McParadigm]

The entire right wing messaging system is disastrously unprepared for this moment.

FUCK ICE

[Jammer XCI]

These people are fucking idiots. The voting populace needs to man up and vote these fuckers out in November.

that isn't how the supreme court works, Jammer XCI

[---]

Reasonable people understand

1) that the accusation contains a level of credibility sufficient to warrant additional scrutiny
2) that anyone intimating certainty towards either guilt or innocence is a hopeless partisan to whom attention is not worth paying
3) that the political, cultural, and media machines feeding into those aforementioned attitudes have a greater interest in extending their relevance and influence within like-minded personal and professional circles than in pursuing - let along obtaining - the actual truth of the matter
4) that there are no winners here

[Jammer XCI]

I was specifically referring to Mitch the turtle and congress.

I dont know....keeping a conservative judge off the supreme court feels like a win to me. *shrugs*

[dimejinky99]

A SCJ being nominated by a President who is under investigation, to roll back and undo countless important rulings that affect the constitution AND THEN protect the president when he finally is brought to book, should be an automatic No. how is it even on the table?

1) Trump is still in control of the nomination process. There is no guarantee he will not nominate someone more conservative should the Kavanaugh nomination fail. Someone like Amy Barrett Cohen, who has expressed far less respect for precedent and stare decisis than Kavanaugh, particularly when it comes to the abortion windmill at which everyone seems so eager to tilt. This falls in the category of "be careful what you wish for."

2) I'm sure you were as equally nonplussed when the Republicans employed a "the means justify the ends" approach to keep Merrick Garland off the bench, yeah?
