At stake, not JUST the oval office.....

"Liberal and progressive", decisions will most likely be illegal.

I know you didn't mean to be funny......but you are.

 

[hadit]

Liberals and progressives will be destroyed once and for all after we pack the court with conservative justices and get back to Constitution based law.

Nitwit, you HAVE HAD a conservative majority for many, many years already....How has that worked out.......LOL

Get a clue. It was 4-4 with 1 swing voter. With Scalia gone it could be 5 libs-3 cons and 1 swing.

That is until they assassin another conservative judge like they did to Scalia!

To liberals, 5-3 is balance.

For myself, as a progressive democrat, the prospect of a republican in the oval office is disconcerting, but ultimately it would be a relatively short term for such a GOP presidency.

What is REALLY at stake, however, is the prospect of THREE supreme court judges being appointed in the next couple of years. With the current "stalemate" of the SC 4 to 4 decisions, the possible appointment of 3 new justices may shift the balance to a 6 to 3 majority of more progressive judgments for decades to come.

Progressives have not controlled the SCOTUS since 1970

Trump will ensure a liberal court for the next 30 years

Here's a "math challenged" right winger.........5-3 makes 8 and there SHOULD be 9 justices,

The SC has had a 5-4 conservative majority for decades....smarter republicans know this.

Yes, you can make the socialist utopia of America complete! We'll all be poor, but equal at last! Well, except politicos, they'll be rich, you're on the verge of victory!

Actually, you didn't accurately read his post, then you call him "challenged," LOL.

He's saying it's 5-3 now, you adding another would be 6-3, that's not moving in the direction of balance. I mean duh, you didn't get that?

Great1 We sure didn't have that with Scalia.

Exactly and with the absolutely ridiculous ruling yesterday by the SCOTUS allowing Unions to collect fees from workers who decide to NOT join the union is baffling. Ginsburg has been an utter disgrace ever since she has been appointed. Sotomayor and Kagan were so unqualified it is criminal.

Yes this election means a lot. If Trump wins it means he will get to appoint a conservative replacement of Scalia and save us from liberal reign of terror. The. Hopefully Ginsburg crocks and we can replace her with someone who respects the constitution and loves this country.

Screw you! Hillary or Sanders will bet he next POTUS and you whiny RW bahs-turds will be crying for decades.

Sure, Kaz....these past 8 "socialist" years have been tough for your ilk.....having to be confined in some relocation camp and forced to walk around carrying a little red book......Yep, your life has just been a nightmare. LOL

Don't try to "defend" stupidity among your ilk........The CURRENT SC has a 4-4- balance and if any of you nitwits think that Kennedy is a "liberal" you're more stupid than previously thought,,,,,

Check out how Kennedy voted on Bush v. Gore and Citizen United and THEN, call him a liberal.

I said we're on the 'verge.' You know you're on the internet, you can look up words you don't know very easily

Hey, as you said, you Republicans can't count. Come back when you learn how. As for Kennedy, that he's voted with both sides proves nothing. You either stand for the law and the Constitution or you don't. When you do sometimes, you don't

 

[nat4900]

The reality has been that Scalia's ultra-right stance within the SC counted for TWO votes with clueless Thomas as his puppet.

 

[rightwinger]

Thomas, Alito and Roberts
All that will be left of the conservative court

With Roberts leaning left on social issues

 

[nat4900]

The greatest FLAW among right wingers is their moronic conviction that it is THEY who are the defenders of the Constitution, while liberals are just a bunch of socialists who are constantly attacking the Bill of Rights.......This stupidity is based on the left's challenges of the 2nd amendment,neglecting all other amendments such as voting, women's and minority rights.

Liberals and progressives will be destroyed once and for all after we pack the court with conservative justices and get back to Constitution based law.

Even when Republican Presidents appoint judges they usually turn up Progressive like Roberts.

The system is rigged.

you are so full of shit. minority and women's rights were put in place by conservatives. Liberals created the KKK and the third reich. Liberals are intolerant of any viewpoints other than theirs, liberals are tyrants who punish anyone who does not spout their bullshit.

A perfect example: obozo and his female puppet Lynch want to punish anyone who dares disagree with the man made global climate change hoax.

Smart people also know that a "swing" vote is not a consistently reliable vote, and thus is not counted in the partisan divide. But you knew that, right?

Well, fishbreath, NO ONE will ever "accuse" you of having a brain......"Liberals created the KKK".......Now THAT is funny....idiotic, but funny nonetheless.......

You mean like the decision in Bush v. Gore ???
