[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Romney just announced he’s a yes. What a hypocrite.

So they only have 2 defections right now. I can’t see where the other two would come from.

Say goodbye to Roe, and much more.[/quote]

Romney isn't a hypocrite. He wasn't a Senator in 2016. He is right to agree to vote on a nominee. The problem is that McConnell was 100% wrong in 2016.[/quote]

No, he’s not right. The GOP is making up rules as they go along. It would’ve been one thing if they had agreed to vote on the nominee in 2016, but they didn’t, citing the fact that it was an election year. They even said they wouldn’t vote on a nominee if this exact situation came up in 2020. But now we’re in that situation, and they’re claiming the Dems are playing dirty tricks (per McConnell’s speech)? [/quote]

The GOP rule is that they will do whatever is within their power to shape the courts to their own ideological preferences.  Democrats should start realizing that is the rule, and follow it themselves.  It means court packing is fine.  It means adding DC and Puerto Rico as states is fine.  It means refusing to confirm any judicial nominees by a republican president is fine. [/quote]

Why stop there? How about secession and civil war? There’s stronger precedent for that than for court packing. [/quote]

Because succession and civil war are not within the rules.  All of the options I listed are completely legal if the Democrats win the Senate, House and Presidency.  That's the McConnell rule.  Precedent does not matter.  Good faith does not matter.  Compromise does not matter.  Prior promises or statements do not matter.  Anything legal is fair game.  [/quote]

But SCOTUS has been fabricating “the rules” for about 90 years now. Sorry you can have your activist, anti-democratic SCOTUS to dictate new laws to the country any more. Actually, now that the left has tread the path of SCOTUS issuing new laws via dictat, I bet the new conservative SCOTUS will do the same but from the right. Enjoy SCOTUS announcing an affirmative action ban, an abortion ban, gun regulation ban, gay marriage ban, religious freedom directives, a crackdown on biased social media, a ban on companies intimidating conservative employees, etc. All based on unwritten “penumbras” that SCOTUS will “discover” in the constitution. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?[/quote]

What planet do you live on?  SCOTUS has been majority GOP since 1969.[/quote]

LOL. Yes Justice Berger was such a conservative when he drafted Roe v. Wade. [/quote]

Burger did not draft Roe.  You really need to work on your history.  You're making yourself look really stupid.[/quote]

Blackmun wrote it and Burger joined. Two “republicans” according to your feeble mind. [/quote]
