Nah, no reason to give them an excuse to ban you.I wonder if I should post this to SB?

Was gonna put this in the Excellence in Shitlording thread, but it's probably better here.
I do love how this whole mess clearly shows the utter lack of foresight by everyone in power. Everyone here looked at RGB, who was visibly decaying right before their eyes, looked at several of the other justices that are nearly as old, and said to themselves "Yes, I should stake out a firm, absolute position on this issue, there's no way it could ever possibly come around and bite me in the ass a few years from now." Even McConnell, who's stated position is technically not contradictory with his current stance, is still having a hard time justifying his actions, and he at least has that excuse, unlike those jokers, or Graham.
Idiots, the lot of them.
the average age of these judges is like mid 60s if this is how they react to RBG's death how will they react 20 years from now when nearly all of these guys are pushing daises?
Certain people are still unused to a world where decentralized media no longer carries their water universally. Ain't fair coverage a bitch?I do love how this whole mess clearly shows the utter lack of foresight by everyone in power.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Right after the election, the democrats filibustered Trunps first nominee, in an astonishingly short-sighted temper tantrum. Because it gave McConnell a 100% justified chance to nuke the filibuster for SC seats, which really turned out badly for them in 2018 when they actually had a reason (or at least, less transparently fake reason) to filibuster and couldn't.
If someone writing a political thriller has his antagonists act this stupid and self destructive, people would call him a lazy hack.
Let's be fair, this is not the first time Trump's been mailed Ricin. Nor Obama or Bush now that I think about it. It probably is just a random nut.Pascale Ferrier Arrested in Connection With Ricin Letter Sent to Trump
Pascale Ferrier is a Canadian woman who was arrested in connection with the ricin letter that was mailed to President Donald Trump.heavy.com
Was the ricin in the letter a response to filling the seat? They got someone said to be involved in it.

I don’t see moderate dem senators backing that at all.
I see numerous ones. kyrsten sinema, whose record we can see from the house, for instance is a moderate.What moderate Democrat senators do you see? Because I haven't heard of any lately.
I think they're afraid that if they can't rely on their apparent blackmail on Roberts to achieve deadlock a Republican appointed court will flip the script on them and decide as they've wanted for years that certain political positions are tantamount to incitement to violence, but that it would be inciting actual riots that would get the axe rather than "hate speech."
Remember, congress may pass no ex post facto law, but when judges legislate from the bench it's always ex post facto. Because they remember. That was their entire playbook for most of the second half of the 20th century.
According to National Journal's 2013 Vote Ratings, her votes place her near the center of their liberal-conservativescale.[105] The National Journal gave her a composite ideology score of 57% liberal and 43% conservative.[106] According to the Bipartisan Index created by The Lugar Center and the McCourt School of Public Policy, Sinema was the sixth most bipartisan member of the U.S. House of Representatives during the first session of the 115th United States Congress.[107] She has cited U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, as a role model.[16]

What's the significance of a rake besides stepping into it? Just a Canadian reference?It's coming...
What makes them not do it when they're in power if they don't do it?
Fill the seat. Just fill it.

Reeeing about not being able to kill their kid? This is going to be a lot of misery porn for people to collect and wank off to.
I will be announcing my Supreme Court Nominee on Saturday, at the White House! Exact time TBA.
