The Supreme Court: RIP Literally Everything

[anon38180840]

WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR???

[Yuv]

it was for my family

[MichaelDavis]

I literally teared up reading this. But it feels like a nice movie speech. I have such little faith in the American people.

[anon38180840]

I maintain that we can win this fight. How many people in America are willing to get to DC and go to jail to prevent this seat from being stolen?

I’m confident that if I go into sack of potatoes mode it’s going to take at least two of them to carry me off the floor of the Senate. Who’s with me???

[MichaelDavis]

This is such a good post. It’s already been over for so many families. That we can continue to get outraged time and time again is a demonstration of our privilege.

[anon38180840]

Well that brought me down right quick.

@anon92450360

Uncle Thomas and Alito are both > 70. Breyer is 82.

So you’re saying it’s about to be 7-2?

[MichaelDavis]

Dude. It matters less marginally but yeah this could get worse!

[LikeClockwork]

Time to eat an edible and watch some Real Housewives of the Potomac.

You’re right I’m sorry. Was an ill-considered attempt at levity but now is certainly not the time. I am firmly in the WAAF crowd I can assure.

We’re going to win this fight. We’re going to win this fight because we goddamn have to.

We’re going to flood the phones this week of every Republican senator. We’re going to tell them to ask Susan Collins how her Kavanaugh vote is working out for her. We’re going to tell them that we will not fucking forget what they do on this, and they’ll be up for re-election in two or four years. We’re going to tell them that if they think they saw protests this summer, get ready, because if they go for it they’re going to have to use tear gas to get in and out of their offices.

If they keep going we’re going to flood the streets. We cannot and will not accept defeat on this, too much is at stake and the hypocrisy is too blatant and too obvious.

If that’s not enough, we’re going to flood the floor of the Senate and literally block the process. Let those wannabe fascists arrest us one by motherfucking one. I’m down. Put that on my permanent record in bold fucking letters.

We will win this fight because we CAN win this fight. If Murkowski lets this happen, she loses in '22. Romney actually has some principles and it’s already being reported he won’t vote til after the inauguration. If Collins wants any chance on 11/3, she cannot move on this. Lindsay Graham is running in a close race and he’s the chair of Judiciary on the record on this less than two years ago saying he wouldn’t do it. Cory Gardner will get shredded in Colorado, if he had any hope as it is. Joni Ernst, fuck around and find out motherfucker. Thom Tillis? Fuck around and fight out you piece of shit. Kelly Loeffler? David Perdue? FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT!!!

We have to be ready to fucking fight, but we can win this one and we will win this one because we motherfucking HAVE TO WIN THIS ONE!!!

I won’t be in the streets. I’ll be playing grim dawn and enjoying my life like always. It’s already over. Feels like hank in BB

[joltinjake]

Not sure this is correct based on what I gather from twitter. Seems people are basing this on Liz Ruskin’s tweet, but she amended the tweet to say that Murkowski actually said she wouldn’t confirm “until after Americans decide who their president will be”. And she said this before knowing about RGB’s death; it was a hypothetical.

[FuncrusherPlus]

Kind of like sporting badges that celebrate a pandemic.

[nobody]

Ugh…

[NotBruceZ]

Serious question.

If enough Republicans could be trusted to uphold their end of the bargain, what concessions would you trade to prevent a confirmation vote before inauguration?

[anon38180840]

This is not the time for depression. This is the time for anger. This is not the time for hopelessness. This is the time for action.

We’ve got the rest of our lives to be depressed and hopeless. We’ve got fewer than 50 days to do everything in our power to make sure they can’t replace RBG before the election.

I’d promise that her seat would go to Merrick Garland, no tax increases on anyone before 2022, and that nobody who runs against them in '22 would use this against them.

I’d then pack the court in '21, increase taxes on everyone who makes 400K+, tell everyone to run on whatever will help them win, and tell the Republican Senators to ask Mitch McConnell why.

[econophile]

This is the way

[FuncrusherPlus]

Agreed. Nothing to lose and a debt to all those who have been marginalized in our society.

[corvette24]

How many fucking SC seats has the electoral college cost us now? Three I think?
