The CNN story is far different than Info War's...

Gearing up the nuclear option again, I would think.

The nuclear option was already used, so the rule has been changed. It won't be needed for this next nomination.

Not really. Infowars says its confirmed, CNN says sources say its very likely. Let's assume the truth is somewhere in the middle and he's out in 6 months.

I'd love to replace Ginsburg w/ Pryor, but getting Kennedy off the Court would be a gamechanger. You would not have had Obergfell if not for him.


Not disagreeing with you but our problem is not only Kennedy.

You would not have Obamacare if Roberts wasn't a swing vote himself.
The mandate was up before the court and should have been discarded.
Kennedy voted against the bullshite that the government could tax us for the only sin of being alive.
Roberts not only allowed it but wrote the majority opinion, while at the same time rewriting a law for congress so that it would be allowed.

I still believe there were serious shenanigans involved in that.

She doesn't even buy yellow bananas anymore, only those that are turning brown with over ripeness.

this was already rumored months ago

there are reports thomas is considering retirement as well

like i said during the Gorsuch nomination drama, the DEMs forcing the nuclear option is going to frick them. hard.

if Ginsberg or Breyer dies (they're 78 and 84), that's a 6-3 court. if both die? 7-2

just for perspective, a 7-2 court means that Roberts and Gorsuch are now a "liberal" faction

if Trump nominates some real firebreathers, Roe is on life support. THAT would be the melt to end all melts

yeah, I would be annoyed. I would prefer a balanced court that swings a bit. a solid conservative court would crush personal freedoms.
