hypothetical...


Sep 21, 2020, 11:17 AM

Let's say Trump wins election and Senate stays in pub control.

Will there still be threats of stacking the courts by dems and (any other arrows in Nancy's quiver) if Trump replaces Ginsberg with a conservative?

Of course.***

If Trump wins then he can pack the court.

He can say it was the Dems' idea, they were gonna do it, so it's ok. Then the Dems would be like, "Whoa ho ho, I thought you guys were against packing the court!" And then the GOP goes, "You were mean to Bart O'Kavanaugh!"

Well, if that happens he can do what he wants.

It's an all-or-nothing bet. Conventional wisdom would hold that in politics compromise - both sides getting what they want - is usually the best policy because what goes around comes around, but if he loses both stuff gets really ugly.

Keep in mind owing to Project REDMAP the GOP successfully gerrymandered congressional districts in a lot of states to build in a massive advantage in 2010; they got away with it because of the timing and because the Dems didn't see it coming. The opposite will likely be true in 2020. Which is going to get them blown out a lot of places those districts were gerrymandered.

Should the Dems turn around and return the favor? They could probably pick up another 50 seats...and then start adding states to stack the Senate too.

Is this really what we want politics to be going forwards? That old Aleister Crowley proverb: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." (Keep in mind Crowley was a Satanist and Nihilist who founded an incredibly creepy religion dedicated to doing whatever the eff one wanted to do, whenever the eff one wanted to do it, especially to those too weak to protect themselves.)

The hypocracy on both sides is plain


Sep 21, 2020, 12:16 PM

When the Repubs didn't want Obama filling the court with
Liberal judges they played a stall game until his tenure
was over. The dems hollered it was wrong the whole time
b/c they didn't have the numbers to get the lib judge approved.
But the repubs were all for the stall claiming it was what should happen.

Now the shoe is on the other foot and both sides have flop flopped their positions
Repubs are for appointing someone now and the dems are against it.

How sad... for Americans no matter which side you're on.
