Kennedy is retiring from SCOTUS, allowing Trump to pick his 2nd SCOTUS member.
Just how screwed are we? How far back is this country going to be pushed?
SCOTUS Kennedy Retiring

unbelievably good news
Juan Watson
Get ready for Lochner Era 2.0 !
Bentley Clark
if he appoints another right wing judge, it's time to have a serious talk with my family about leaving the U.S.
Michael Scott
Jackson Ramirez
Oooh poor you
Can we just open an american politics general?
Kevin Turner
Can't wait until the Supreme Court is replaced with a workers tribunal.
Ian Butler

Samuel Ortiz
Pack your bags, kiddo.
Isaiah Lopez
Ouch. And you know Ginsburg is going to drop dead any day now too.
David Robinson
just wait until Ginsburg croaks and we get a 6-3 court
the fire rises
Jose Thompson
While horrifying in the short term, this is going to radicalize the shit out of liberals. It's now clear without a shadow of a doubt that the Supreme Court is a political tool. Even before this lots of liberals were saying that court packing might be necessary, but this will only amplify that x10. While it won't push them to leftism, this will force liberals, once and for all, to drop the "when they go low we go high" bs. It's much easier to radicalize angry libs than apathetic ones.

me and redflag namefag are like this 🤞
Ryan Howard
lol even FDR couldn't get court packing done. Schumer sure as shit isn't either.
Isaac Lewis
lol, a lot of people are fucked if the US goes hard right. you can have it. i'll take new zealand or S. Africa
Cameron Morris
He is right tho. People aren't going to take that, your average lib is going to be fucking furious if gay marriage, abortion, affirmative action, and future progressive policies just start getting thrown out because of unelected dudes leftover from the Hamburglar presidency. They're already clamoring for stacking the court on social media, and if that isn't possible I'm betting there is going to be more violence. We haven't even touched civil rights era agitation. People will get radicalized if they're told "all your liberal shit is over, and everything you want to do for the next 30 years is going to get picked at and thrown out, and you can't do anything about it".
Jonathan Hughes
God MAGAtards are lame.
William Gonzalez
he's gonna push to end welfare. that alone will send people over the edge but when it hits the SCOTUS the right wing'r justices will approve major limitations or a phase out over time
Benjamin Long
Lol, Obama got railroaded by a turtle in a suit so he couldn't get his scotus pick, and Trumpito gets TWO scotus picks. Goddamn, I love neo-libs!
Camden Wood
the US is going to do this regardless, the big programs are literally running out of funding and they're starting to roll out work requirements for them now. My state recently passed work requirements for medicaid and it's going to fuck up a lot of people.
After that is reduction of SS and Medicare and raising the age on them again

lmao I think trump getting another SC pick officially pushed the neolibs off the cliff into full blown psychosis

Great news for Betas who are excited about forcing single mothers into servitude. Bad news for socialist policy which is sued and taken to the SCOTUS. America might as well be a lost cause for any progressive or socialist change. They can basically bring back aristocrats sleeping with your bride on your wedding night now. Forget about citizens united or net neutrality.
Connor Butler
Cameron Williams
On a more serious note: how likely is it he can get someone in before a new senate is formed after the midterms? And if it is a dem majority, how had will they fight?
Maybe, maybe not. If they kick it back to the states, blue America can have its gay marriage and so on. The only troublespot here is blue cities in red states.
Hudson Rodriguez
do you mind taking your retardation somewhere else?
Samuel Davis
the eternal forgotten flag setting strikes again
Alexander Murphy

I think the argument for it is easier after the whole Garland/Gorsuch fiasco created a precendent for injecting the SC with explicit political gamesmanship
Tyler Bell
You know what goes great with lots and lots of winning? The Denver Broncos.
Denver Broncos are the best footballing team ever. There is no one on earth who can do footballs as good as the Denver Broncos. Many others have tried and failed to be as football. You think you can football like these guys? Heh, get in line, cuck. You'd need to get up about 12 hours earlier and spend all morning and all afternoon being football to football like the kings of football, the Denver Broncos.
Seriously, faggot. If footballing was the olympics these guys would be like the John Elway of football olympics. The Denver Broncos are the alpha and the omega of all footballs, the footballs that came first and last and shall be evermore the football. They own footballs now and forever. Footballs.
t. Denver Broncos.

I say good. If a man can look at the state of the country right now and say "Yep my work here is done. Let the orange asshat pick another SCOTUS justice." He is part of the problem. So Fuck Justice Kennedy and remember with retirement comes death. His name and legacy should be associated with everything wrong that moderates represent. This is a win for the left, because the world's a better place without him on the SCOTUS.
John Reed
lmao this is the unironic current prevailing view on the left. Your one sliver of hope for 2018 was to prop up the cuck centrists in your party in an attempt to grab up as many moderate suburban voters as possible. If you'd tried to run close to the center and prop up the slimy Machiavellian sociopaths in your party that actually understand how to play politics, you might, MIGHT have been able to retake the House by a slim margin and at least slow down Trump's agenda for a couple of years. But your hubris won't even allow you to make that slight concession to reality. Nope, you're all going to double down on crazy and fuck yourselves in the last orifice you had left. You idiots just tossed out a 10 term veteran Congressman who would have been a shoe-in to nominate some loopy spic Socialist, and nominated a bunch of other left wing screwballs in a bunch of red/purple districts besides. On top of that, by 2020 your party will probably be in such utter disarray you'll spend most of the election cycle squabbling with each other over which screwball Socialist will get to be king of turd mountain while Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton and whatever other establishment figures are still standing use whatever powers they have left to quash your insurrection. This will ensure that the Democrat nominee for 2020 will either be a radical Socialist that middle America is guaranteed to reject (especially since Trump will be running on actual accomplishments this time and not just his own bluster), or another establishment clone that your radical Socialist base will reject. Meanwhile the establishment R's have bent the knee and the Trump Train thunders on. You guys are so fucked it's hilarious. I'm literally going to be using your tears as fap lubricant for years to come.

Are you sure you know where you are? This is not the DNC or Hillary headquarters. Not even close, in fact.
Chase Lewis
i'm not even mad. The butthurt from the Dems over Trump getting to pick a second SCOTUS member, this time replacing the swing vote, is glorious. It's their own fucking fault. Trump wouldn't have been elected if the Dems didn't focus their platform on anti-male idpol and completely ignore actual leftist policies.
Bernie woulda won.
