Supreme Court shoots itself in the foot.

Look out, she's mad.

Why would I want to talk to Reid? I don’t believe that two wrongs make a right. I didn’t like Reid one bit and I certainly don’t think that his actions condone anybody else to follow suit. My question to you is why do you excuse such behavior?

Our government runs on precedents, like it or not, that's the way it is.

The Democrats did not do it. They could have filibustered Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court but they agreed to a vote.

That was 30 years ago, busy.....it wasn't as polarized as it is now.

Garbage. The SCOTUS is not supposed to reflect the “Will of the people”. Translation: they’re supposed to do what DEMS want or else. The job of SCOTUS is to determine constitutionality of laws. Not bend to the will of a few crybabies.

The court has determined abortion is a Constitutional right for the last 50 years.

Looks like the new illegitimate court has bent to the will of a few cry babies.

The process by which Supreme Court justices are appointed is fundamentally non-democratic – both the president and Senate reflect the will of the states, not the majority of the people.

At times the president and Senate might reflect the will of the majority of the people, but not as a consequence of the democratic process.

In theory this shouldn’t be an issue as justices should rule consistent with settled, accepted Constitutional case law – such as the right to privacy.

When the justices both deviate from that settled, accepted case law – as have five conservative justices in the Texas case – and act contrary to the will of the majority of the people, it becomes a legitimate issue.

What do you fail to understand that this is a federal republic, democracy ends at the State lines. You don't like it, move your ass to N. Korea.

Using more words that you have no clue what they mean. It is better thought out than recent Supreme Court decisions.

The Congress has the power to do this so it has nothing to do with Stalin. The Republicans did this when they refused to take up Obama's nomination to the Supreme Court. The court is hopelessly corrupt. It clearly responds to whether the president has a R or a D in front of their name. You are the Communist trying to seize power in this country.

But, you're not arguing that, you want to change the structure that is in place to further YOUR agenda.

Our voting system has never been checked and scrutinized as much as it is now. It is safer and more secure than it has ever been. Kudos to those good people who dedicate their time to running such an incredible process! God bless America!!

Yeah, that's why people can be seen stealing ballots from PO Boxes using a USPS master key and people are being busted with 300+ blank ballots in their possession. Great system for sure. LMAO

[Meister]

How so?

How so, what? Have something to say? Try formulating an opinion instead of the two word bullshit.

No… partisans use “precedent” to make excuses for their hypocrisy. It’s as simple as that. It is a poor excuse not a respectable explanation

 

[OKTexas]

Already done at least twice. Read the thread.

You opinion doesn't negate the fact that ALL went through the legitimate process.

It is a great system. If somebody decided to steal some blank ballots that doesn’t mean there was fraud. The few cases of fraud that were found were caught through safeguards in the system. Any that may have slipped through those cracks would be insignificant.

Neither is Comey, Brennan, Clapper, and McCabe not being held accountable for lying to Congress.

Don't forget the hildabitch.

[OKTexas]

Thanks for explaining that…

Sued? That’s strange. If it’s a law then why not arrested?


I’m not super familiar with current law… if a pregnant woman has a baby that is viable, meaning could be born and survive outside of the womb, is it still legal for a woman to abort? Say at like 9 months??

It's a civil statute, not criminal.

It is also a Constitutional right to chose what goes in your body. Try being consistent.

They can still get an abortion, it might be a bit more expensive since the docs will have to buy some giant insurance policies. Don't ya love it, it shouldn't be cheap to kill a kid.

Sued? That’s strange. If it’s a law then why not arrested?

The right to privacy and substantive due process pursuant to the 14th Amendment concern civil law, not criminal.

That’s why ridiculous statements about abortion being ‘murder’ are wrong – murder is the sole purview of criminal law.

You tell that to people that lost a race by 1 vote.

Care to address Biden saying in 1992 to do exactly what the Republicans and McConnell did?

President Obama was President in 2016, having been reelected in 2012, twice reflecting the will of both the states and the people.

Consequently, it was the will of the states and the people that his Supreme Court nominees be confirmed by the Senate.

McConnell’s wrongheaded, reprehensible decision to not confirm President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court defied the will of the people and the states.

Who doesn’t get a choice about what they put in their body?
