There is no justice...... RBG RIP!

[Anomalocaris]

There is an obvious way to stop Trump from appointing a justice: Impeach him. Impeachment hearings are the one thing which takes precedence over confirmation of a justice. There is no limit to how many times a president can be impeached and he has considerately provided Democrats with bucket loads of impeachable offenses.

This would obviously be a dirty trick by the Democrats but so what? The Republicans themselves firmly established a precedent for not confirming a justice in an election year. IMO, the Dems will be fools if they don't use whatever means are at their disposal to foil the Republicans in their bid for naked hypocrisy.

I would rather expand the court and pack the court with more justices selected during a democratic administration.     Not because it does more, but because it is more drastic.   Drastic action has an additional impact merely for being drastic.   To win against the republicans one must make it clear there is no length democrats won’t go to not only to offset unfair republican gains, but to take away what one might evenhanded consider to be something republicans as an political party in civil society is  entitled to, if they pull stunts like stealing a Supreme Court seat as they did in 2016, or put a trump like character in office and fail to meaningfully oppose him..

If the country’s politics were to recover, Then it must Be made clear To every political creature and every creature who seeks to advance his own interest through influencing the country’s politics, they there is absolutely no limit to the down side, politically as well as personally, none whatsoever, if a party he belongs to, or a party he is trying to influence, were to try to capitalize on the any illusion of an upside in all the types of stunts  republicans have pulled since 1994, starting from Impeaching clinton, stealing 2000 election, down to frustrating the impeachment of trump.

This is political total war. The other side would not leave any tools of total war unused. You will cripple yourself and you will lose, if you would.  You would also encourage the other side to use their worst tools more ruthlessly if your response is predictably more restrained than their transgression.

The other side is A bunch of ruthless war criminals  fighting a total war for total gain. The other side is seeking to install ignoramus demagogue as the dictator behind which the influences of casino magnate, raiders, and the fascists who seek to rally racist malcontents can prosper.  You are still playing a game and worrying what the referee, long since dead and moldering in the grave, Would say if you’re impolite
