Because we haven’t learned the lesson that you can pack the court, you can impose term limits, you can do jurisdiction-stripping. You can do systemic reform to change the fact that we live in a monarchy in which we wait for smoke signals to see which of the dauphins will next rule. And there’s one side that is completely willing to subvert the system. And then the other side that likes to yell at justices, and parenthetically, they really like to yell at the female justices.

My friends this is wonderful. Leftist wordsmiths sounding like MSNBC the nite Trump won. 10 serious minutes of reading about how these people think they're better than everyone else. Cut and paste for a relaxed time. Worth it.

*Only through Mitch McConnell’s obstruction of Merrick Garland’s nomination, and the rushed, hardball, hypocritical confirmation of Justice Amy Coney Barrett in 2020*———LOL

*We have an incredibly bizarro, messed-up system where the individual mortality of a handful of lawyers determines the fate of the republic. A lot of people who were understandably frustrated with Justice Ginsburg are now transferring that frustration to Justice Sotomayor. *-—Tee her.

*I don’t disagree that some of the demands made of Justice Ginsburg 10 years ago and Justice Sotomayor today have shades of misogynistic or patriarchal assumptions about a woman’s ability to make judgements for herself.* ——Say do what? It gets funny folks.

We could make the same points about our justices. Let them whine.

Mancin and Sinema are out he door. Could they do what they did when it came to the fillibuster and let the voters decide?

Just what kind of idiot country would have picked the “wise Latina” as a Supreme court justice to begin with? Her and that other woman Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson are about as stupid as you can get. This country is becoming an embarrassment.

It is obvious the calls for Sonya's retirement surround her female sex, her weight, and her race. Republicans aren't calling for Clarence to leave for his sex, weight, or race.

This just shows Democrats are inherently sexist, weightist, and racist, and Republicans are truly wonderful, extremely fair, people.

In sum, Democrats agree they personify Evil.

Van Jones Diatribe on election night 2016 was, without any question the most RACISTS thing I have ever seen broadcast on any NEWS organization by one of their employees...

Yet, there were another 10 or so people sitting there while he ranted, and NOT A SINGLE ONE CALLED HIM ON IT! NOT ONE... and CNN did NOTHING about it the next day either.

VAN JONES literally ranted about how black children were going to bed crying that night because of a WHITELASH.... Can you imagine what would have happened to any reporter or pundit who would have claimed in 2008 that Obama’s election was a “BLACKLASH” and that white children were crying in their beds that night?

Here you go, in case you missed it:

Our Thomas replacement should be Cameron the loser in. Ky. We can play the same game. He’s young and he let his opinions be known in his political run.

Thomas then get the Atty General nod for a couple of years. Hearing redux. Expose the left again as well as more rinos.

sotomayor made up child covid death stats to shoot down a case about kids having to get vaccinated.

She doesn’t understand the tenth amendment asking why do states have more rights than the federal government.

Until it is proven otherwise she is my prime suspect on the leak of the Roe VS Wade decision.

Her presence on the court is an abomination. But at this date I hope she hangs on another 6 months.

Leftist are more likely to hang on. They live for this $hit. It means we’ll always be at a disadvantage. Someone needs to inform speakers Paul, McArthy, and Johnson.

For that reason I don’t think Jordan is up to the job.

“ChatGPT. Write a story from a whiny angry liberal in regards to the Supreme Court.”

This had every marxist shibboleth imaginable.
