Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died.

[Folly]

RIP.

At least she made it through most of Trump's first term. Just imagine how much worse 2020 could have been...

[MetalSlimeHunt]

We're so fucked. Make way for Justice Tom Cotton.


But fuck her for not retiring in 08, fuck Obama for not taking McConnell to the mat when Scalia died, fuck every Trump voter and non-voter, fuck the Democratic Party for being useless feckless collaborators and bootlickers, and fuck America in general.

Anyone want to tell me I'm too negative again?

[RedKing]

Time to filibuster till Inauguration Day.

Biden would appoint a Republican to show good faith. It doesn't matter.

I can stomach a moderate Republican. Trump will appoint some crazed shit weasel. Yes, it makes a difference.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The one and only solution now is court packing, either through expansion or impeaching the existing fascists.

Nothing stops the Democrats from doing this if they win the election, although SCOTUS will just hand the election to the Republicans now even if the seat stays empty if they are given at all a chance.

I hope Roberts is shaking in his fucking boots about being remembered as the man who destroyed the Supreme Court, at least.

But yes, Biden's idea of a good SCOTUS judge is fucking Thomas, so there's not much hope of that.

Here's a 2020 hell scenario for you:
Dems actually manage to block the vacancy from being filled.
Election comes down to one or two states with extremely close vote margins and widespread allegations of voter fraud/intimidation/suppression.
Lawsuit goes to the Supreme Court, a la Gore-Bush.
Court deadlocks 4-4.

Not trying to be a Chicken Little, but now might not be a bad time to stock up some extra food and ammo.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Court deadlocks 4-4.

I can see it happen.

No Recount/Count Stop/No Investigation (Trump Wins): Thomas (Obvious), Alito (Also obvious), Kavanaugh (I like beer)


Recount/No Count Stop/Investigation (Biden Wins): Sotomayor (Obvious), Kagan (Also obvious), Breyer (oh god, oh fuck)


This leaves us with Roberts and Gorsuch. Roberts will do whatever he believes is less likely to see him and the court arrested. Gorsuch will continue to be a human text-parsing machine even if there is literally a CIA agent in the room telling him how he'll be voting.

So it comes down to how Gorsuch's dumb fucking legal philosophy interprets the state law, and if Roberts goes the other way which will largely depend on what the Congressional results look like and if the crowd outside the courthouse has pitchforks out. And what the CIA does, I guess.

I love how the supreme court is just a betting pool to see which old fuck will croak first.

"But fuck her for not retiring in 08"
"We lost, so let's just change the rules!"
Lol.
RGB literally killed herself trying to outlast Trump. Even though I disagree with the vast majority of her opinions and hate her legislation from the court stance, I can respect her.
You know my first thought was Trump should hold off until after the election to give Dems a chance, but naw. Screw you guys, people who hate someone on their own side because she FUCKING DIED should not have any power.
A justice will likely be appointed and approved in the next month or two.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

RBG was more concerned with her precious legacy than the effects of her dying in office right up until the day that it happened. Like every Democrat, she refused to take the threat of Republican fascism seriously and now we will all pay the price.

You will win nothing either, Trumpist. America's downfall will not confine itself to the cities.

[Rolan7]

Blindly standing by one's own side sounds like that NPC meme the right is always bandying about to dehumanize us.

I'm sorry our ability to have our own opinions makes us, like, degenerate and inherently worth opposing on moral grounds.

[RedKing]

Screw you guys

Thank you for encapsulating the MAGAt thought process (such as it is) so succinctly.

Also, you realize MSH is not the appointed spokesperson for all things Left? You do know that, right?

Aaaaaand already the finest minds the Right has to offer are crafting shitty, tasteless memes to celebrate someone's death. Now, I'm not going to get too self-righteous about that, because frankly there's at least 100+ prominent folks in the GOP, Trump administration, and assorted "punditry" who I'd gleefully celebrate if they keeled over dead. But it's still a sign of where we are as a country, and where we're heading.

[MasterFancyPants]

I win lots of laughs.
America isn't going to "fall" anymore than it did when Obama was elected, or Bush, or Clinton, or Bush #1, or Regan, or Carter.
Try and relax, there will be another Democrat president they you can talk down to the unhinged republicans who claim the world is ending. You're just gonna have to wait until after Trump second term.
