The a holes did it, they seated Amy as SCOTUS

The a holes did it, they seated Amy as SCOTUS
The asshole GOP did it, they rammed through Amy Barrett. I am sick of people saying she was "confirmed". She was not confirmed. She is just another domino seated as a result of Mitch being a fucking dick.

And the other vile thing this POTUS is doing is swearing her in, not at the Supreme Court, but at the White House, which violates the tradition of upholding the visual of judicial independence .

Yet another reason I am pissed at all the Bernie and Hillary, scorched earthers (most were not, but enough of small factions of each were). If these morons had listened when many, including me, were shouting that SCOTUS matters, not just the candidate, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I will say however, Mitch and Lindsey have no right to bitch after playing dirty if Biden expands the court.

Yea well not sure why the first wasn't posted in "News And Current Affairs" , seems appropriate considering it is news and very current news.

One could reasonably argue it's mainly political.

This came as no surprise to me. They said they were going to do it and they did. BTW this thread is being reported and should be merged so we don't have dueling banjo threads!

Purely political and no "news" about it.

We all knew it was going to happen.

The GOP broke their own opinions about not putting through a candidate in an election year and then rushed through a nomination that they know is questionable at best because she will blindly support their goals.

If the Dems win I won't blame them for stacking the court.

The issue being that the Dems follow the rules. Until they learn to fight dirty against the Repubs, nothing will adequately progress.

AOC is already calling for expanding the court.

Yes.

Me saying 'stacking' was incorrect.

I hope they do expand.
