[Bon mots]

Speakin of the Supreme Court...

Where's Ruth?

[Lurkinanloomin]

We’re not there yet, another nomination by Trump should get us to a conservative court.
Roberts is unreliable as is Kavanaugh.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Court was wrong in 1979.
Bad decisions should be overturned.

[G Larry]

Need an RBG exit in time for a CONSERVATIVE replacement.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yep. We need a habeas corpos on RGB. I think she’s been dead for months.

“The new conservative majority at the Supreme Court”

I wish. We have a 4-3 liberal court with 2 left of center swing votes.

[UCANSEE2]

“permits a State to be sued by a private party without its consent in the courts of a different State.”

Notice how these ‘rulings’ always seem to benefit the lawyers ?

[Spok]

When the court creates a law, it can as easily uncreate it. It’s a consequence of judicial activism.

[Repeal 16-17]

The Court was wrong in 1979.

Nevada v. Hall was a relic from a time when the Supreme Court did not give State sovereignty anywhere near the respect the Court gives it now. Liberals aren't really worried about Hall being overruled. They're worried that Justice Thomas's description of stare decisis is a signal that Roe v. Wade and Obergfell v. Hodges are on thin ice. They're probably right, with the caveat that we never know what Chief Justice John "It's A Tax" Roberts will do.

[Still Thinking]

And Wickard.

[Lurkinanloomin]

As I said upthread, we won’t really have a conservative court until President Trump gets another nomination confirmed.

[TMN78247]

100% TRUE.

Yours, TMN78247

[Rummyfan]

WHERE IS RUTH?

[mrsmith]

Yeah, Roberts and Kavanaugh are moderates.
Which is OK by me.
There are no Constitutional liberals on the court now.

I hust want those 4 Constitution-hsting nuts replaced.

[Repeal 16-17]

As I said upthread, we won’t really have a conservative court until President Trump gets another nomination confirmed.

Come on Ruth, walk into the light.

[G Larry]

"Need an RBG exit in time for a CONSERVATIVE replacement."

Perhaps you misunderstood?

We need Ruth to exit so Trump can ADD a CONSERVATIVE to the court!!!!

[Rebelbase]

With young blood transfusions RBG might outlive us all.

[nwrep]

a relic from a time when the Supreme Court did not give State sovereignty ... respect..

Not only did it not give State sovereignty respect, but actually treated any mention of that as tantamount to white supremacy (aka a dog whistle for racism)...
