No matter what happens, we'll never get that Supreme Court seat back.

And yet we now have pretty clear and convincing evidence that it was indeed stolen. That's a burn that will never go away for me.

I normally don't believe in karma or any other type of higher power, but this kind of thing really makes me hope that there is some kind of Justice coming for all of the people who made this possible.

... Republicans clearly broke all standards of decency and fair play on that one. They acted like spoiled little shits on the playground blocking a kid they didn't like from using the swings until the recess bell blew. They would have howled like enraged little drama queens had the same been done to them, but of course in their view whatever they is fine.

That for me sums up Republicans to a T: "We get to do whatever we want, no matter how disgusting, illegal, immoral or slimy, but if you so much as go out without a hanky to wipe your nose on we'll shriek to the high heavens how horrible you are."

Nasty, disgusting and nauseating excuses for "people."

appoint a SC justice, not to mention the subsequent stolen election using treason.

No SC decision is valid from here on in.

Not just his RIGHT but the majority of the American people TOLD the GOP they wanted OBAMA to make that choice.

So much for the illusion of Democracy.

I honestly believe that he was the prize after all, not just the seat, the man himself.

All things being equal, after Don the Con. There hopefully will be a few Democratic presidents.

We need to level up. The Supreme Court.

5 out of the 9 are far right-wing with only Kennedy, not extreme, and Roberts trying to balance
