Kennedy Announces Plan To Retire July 31

If the Democrats control the presidency in 2020, along with the Senate and House, what's the Republican argument against Democrats packing the Court? 4 out of 9 justices (and maybe more if RBG doesn't last until then) will have been appointed by a president who lost the popular vote. With respect to social issues, the nation is moving in one direction; the court likely in another (gay rights, reproduction rights, civil rights,in voting rights). The Garland appointment was stolen. The filibuster rule for appointees was eliminated to get Gorsuch through. Republicans have shown no willingness to play by the norms. I don't see any moral ground for them to stand on to argue against it. It would likely require eliminating the filibuster rule for legislation, but at least some Republicans have been wanting to eliminate that for a while.
Damn, I was prescient back in 2018.

Odd that you left out Harry Reid’s and the lefts liability in any of that . It’s almost like you ignore everything to happens unless it comes from the right . Your party was warned they would pay a price , did it anyway , then complained because the right isn’t playing by the old norms before you did what benefitted them . It’s cute to watch .

You gotta admit, I nailed where we'd be. The only thing I missed about the current environment is that they'd abandon their own rule for SCOTUS openings in an election year. But I did mention their violation of norms, so I sorta got that right too.

I gave you an almost like , it counts but only worth 54.8% on the luther continuum.
