Roberts didn’t want it to go down this way. Three activist justices appointed by Trump did this. Blame them, not all R’s.

And blame RBG for not retiring. And all the Dems who hated HRC and voted for Trump.

Not all R’s are maga. This decision might be a wake up call for R women.

While I’m a lifelong Dem, I’m not an AOC super lefty.

Let’s focus on bringing women and men together to fight this instead of drawing more lines.

Why do people keep saying this? How do we know we wouldn't have ended up with another Merrick Garland situation? I bet that but for Merrick Garland she would have retired.

Then blame Obama and the Dems for not fighting to seat Garland. I do. I also blame RBG.

What do you think the Dems and Obama could have done to seat Garland?

Recess appointment.

This, 100%

I hope neither of you kids yourself that you’re kind people.

Oh, boy. Yet no response to the ACTUAL OP of this thread, who huffily declared she would be cutting out her Republican friends? Sure, Jan.

As if.

I don't see the point in blaming a woman who did a lot of good things for women and men. She was operating under the pre-Trump era where justices didn't have a blatant political agenda. Why not blame George HW Bush for nominating Thomas?

Same boat. Mine just won't shut up.

I'm not arguing with them or even talking about anything related to politics with them any more. And if they don't start doing the same, they are going to be ex friends. Same.goes for relatives; what ever they want to put on social media, fine. But don't talk to me about it because I don't want to hear your far right conspiracy theories and how "Trump is still really president' etc.

You wouldn't have wound up with a Merrick Garland situation because from 2009 -2015 Obama had the Senate votes to replace RBG with whoever he wanted. The only time in Obama's tenure (the 114th congress, Jan 2015 on) when there was a (very strong) Republican control of the senate. At that point the Repubs had 54 senate votes and there was nothing Obama could do to either replace RBG or get Garland on SC.

Had RBG retired earlier, Obama easily could have replaced her with whoever he wanted (within reason) and the Republicans would have had little recourse and would have had to resort to Christine Blasey-Ford/Anita Hill type tactics, if they so chose, to attempt to stop it.

Agreed, and truly most people did not expect that Trump would win in 2016. In retrospect it seems obvious, but most of the polls were pointing to Clinton winning up until the last minute.

I have stepped back from anyone MAGA. The friends with brains and decency no longer vote R

I am a kind person, which is why I can no longer support anyone being in such an evil party as the Republican Party.

You think the President should have forced a Supreme Court justice to retire against her will?!
