    1. @BC stargazer – I’m as anti-GOP as the next guy, but can we refrain from spraying every comment section with the same tired unoriginal comment? It makes original comments harder to find and upvote. Downvoted.

  1. Americans are profiting from war in Yemen by selling weapons to Saudi.

    Trump’s son in law was bailed out by Saudi……

    1. Linda and Warren FowlPatt Deutsche Bank and former justice Kennedy and his kid had some fishy dealings with trump and his money. Kennedy retired early so trump could get a right wing psycho on the court. When all of trump’s crimes come to light and there are many felonies and crimes against America, everything he did needs to be wiped out especially all those new federal judges he installed. The vast majority are unqualified and many have neither trued a case in any fashion or even been in a court room. They all have to be vetted in the eyes of the American people.

  2. Republicans: “I am vehemently against selecting a Supreme Court Justice during an election year. That is something I will not do. It wouldn’t be fair to the American people.”

    5 minutes later….

    Reporter: “How can you go back on what you said about not selecting a Supreme Court Justice during an election year because it wouldn’t be fair to the American people.

    Republicans: “Never mind what I said, and fk the people!!!  That was then, this is now.”

  3. By their silence alone against the Republican’s blatant hypocrisy, Trump’s Evangelical base is bursting a bubble of the own making. A messiah who’s message adds up to “the ends justifies the means” is of no good use to anyone. They are forever sullying the name of their saviour. And I lived to see the day.

    1. @Just Nobody That’s the thing, right? Makes it pretty much useless. Anything goes. Just never deny being Christian. What a con

  4. The point of this crisis in the SC is that if those who inflicted Trump on America want the country to become a dictatorship without him winning the 2020 election (strictly speaking, he didn’t win the last one), they will manufacture a legal wrangle in which a Supreme Court composed mainly of immoral weirdos gets to decide the outcome. Put up some convincing resistance to the outrageous corruption in the Republican Party or resign yourselves to a miserable future. Not much time left – and by the way, living with an externally controlled dictator can lead to some very ugly outcomes.

  5. it is a slow moving radical reactionary coup:
    the SC is just the tip of the pyramid;
    the packing of the lower courts by the Gang Of Putin parté
    has been going on at a breakneck pace for the last 4 years…

  6. Nobody would know if it’s a true “ constitutionalist “ as they vote on what the constitution actually says , not like the ones who interpret the constitution into what they wished it said.

  7. Isn’t everyone in the world a “dreamer”??? If so, that means we have to let everyone come here that wishes, so when would you like them to move in?? What, a new Justice could make murder illegal?? That would be awful wouldn’t it??
