Coney: A rabbit.

At least Clarence Thomas will no longer be known as the stupid one. He wasn't looking to good at the swearing-in ceremony either, probably has a few underlying conditions. He might be providing Biden a chance to put a neutralizing vote on the court before too long.

If Thomas is actually in bad shape and Biden is elected, he'll resign so that the lame duck President and Congress can appoint and confirm his far-right replacement.

I WANT judges to be conservative. But the American right is not conservative, just far-right.

If that's really the case, then your only complaint is that your side is losing.

And if that's the cause of this outrage, well, suck it.
 
I fail to see how abortion would be any different than gambling or marijuana. IOW, no state has made it a crime to travel to another state for those things. I don't even see how they would enforce such a law. In any case, even the most conservative Justice would have to concede that a state does not have any say in what people do, not even citizens of their state, when they aren't in the state. It's an absurd thought from the get go.

Is this why you don't value fairness then? It would mean that your side wouldn't win?

Zig said the quiet part out loud in the post you quoted. It's about winning and losing, and not about what's good for the country. Sucks for him that at the moment, Trump's losing, and the Goopers have created the precedent that you can do whatever you want as long as nobody stops you. Hello expanded court! There's gonna be so many judges, you've never seen so many judges.

It wouldn't be.

They could not enforce it.

And yet, Trump derangement is strong enough to lead many people to believe it anyways.

That is a really dumb idea.

Hillary Clinton is too old...She would only be able to serve a few years before she died.

Now Chelsea Clinton would be an ideal pick... She's a Clinton, which by itself would drive the republicans into fits, and she's younger (which means she could serve on the courts much longer.) And I can't help but think it would annoy the trump-spawn... "nepotism done right!"

Granted, its not like she has experience as a judge, or, well, even as a lawyer. But hey! If Trump can be an expert in politics, science, foreign affairs, etc. without any background in any of those fields, she can easily become a supreme court judge. She just has to follow her gut!

Chelsea Clinton would be more of an expert on the law than Thomas, Alito, McDrunkface and Covid Bringer combined.

Since when does absurdity bother the minds of Republicans?

Exactly. This is why there is minority rule in the U.S.A. Democrats play by the rules and fight fair. When Democrats lose, they comply with the defeat and try different tactics within the rules to win again. Republicans don't care about rules or fairness, they are not handcuffed with such nonsense and that's why they have power now.
 
Just in time for the end of daylight savings. Comey is appointed. Set your clocks back... a few decades.
