RIP Antonin Scalia

Every time someone posts that "MORANS" picture, I wonder if that guy knows he's a laughingstock. Hell, my first-grader spells better than that.

 

This can't be real:

Get A Brain, Morans!

 

It does, and, given who the GOP now represents, it probably should.

It's America. It's capitalism. Not everybody wins. The better some poor folks do, the worse the most rich do.

 

Horse poop. It was Reagan, who nominated Bork, a hatchet man for Nixon.

Anthony Kennedy was 97-0.

 

IIRC this case was specifically drawn up in the Koch laboratories with the expectation of losing repeatedly and quickly until it could get to the SCOTUS where Scalia would create new, anti-union, law.

Oops.

 

Of course you think this.

 

There's a pony in there somewhere...

Oh, give me a break. Bork was as qualified as any other nominee. They hated his ideology and voted him down for it and nothing has been the same since.

 

Bork pretty much disqualified himself when he carried out the Massacre in exchange for the promise that Nixon would put him on the court. As if his two superiors resigning rather than carry out the request wasn't a big enough clue.

 

The Dems are given a fairly decent chance of flipping the Senate back in any event, and if the pig Trump at the top of the ticket goes down to a 60-40 ass blasting, could grab a healthy margin of control. And if that happens, get ready for Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky on the SC.

The doddering old Dems (Ginsburg and Breyer) on the court would check out within six months (hell, probably six days) and be replaced by fresh young 45-year-old liberal faces. Then it just becomes a race against time whether Kennedy (79) or Clarence (67) can hang on until another GOP president arrives. If they can't, the teabag obstructionists will wish to god they had settled for Garland. They could be looking down the wrong end of a 7-2 barrel.

 

Careful with your history there ...

 

This isn't true. "Rich folks" will ultimately start losing as the divide increases. Their only hope is that the "poor folks" start doing better.
