Kamala getting a lifetime appointment after a catastrophic failure does sound probable
The queen of failing upwards
Girlbossing upwards, excuse me.
They can’t even stack the court in their fantasies.
Their fantasies are just whatever the dems last told them they wanted to do.
Say Adolf Hitler (D) loses in 2028 and a generic Democrat found a genie, all three wishes would be for Hitler to be president.
Their “mind blowing fantasy” is Kamala replacing a liberal justice’s seat so she can lose in perpetuity instead of just a few times
I guess that’s kind of funny
Tbf, it’s pretty funny that their idea of an own is to put Kamala into what is basically purgatory.
Even FDR attempted to stack the courts and they didn’t let him
Some of them will even say that’s why they dislike him lol
“Even in libs’ wildest fantasies written by Aaron Sorkin, they still compromise with Republicans.”
Sotomayor retires
Libs have the shortest memory with Ginsberg refusing to retire
They never accepted it for what it was when they did remember. Any calls for her to retire were met with accusations of misogyny and ageism and now they’ve completely enshrined her as a faultless saint.
Remember walking into a lawyer’s office and they actually had one of those wine bottles with her face on it. Memories of those getting mocked on the old subreddit came to me and I fought so hard not to laugh
As CTH said, she really was the embodiment of the Democratic Party. She wasn’t beloved for striking down any injust law, or furthering human rights. It was for her dissents. In other words, she lost but she seemed so stylish and cool when she lost.
Lawyers are a bizarre breed. They know that their whole edifice is a flimsy fiction, but they cannot know that to do their jobs effectively. Deeply strange people, basically as close as exists to magicians and wizards in the real world.
Wouldn’t even matter since they don’t have the votes to replace her.
Watch they’ll try it, mcturtle comes out just long enough to say no then it will get dropped.
First thing new senate does is immediately replace her and add like 5 more Republicans
There are much cooler ways to add or replace supreme court justices than retirement.
WHICH ARE LEGAL THE SCOTUS SAID SO.
very legal and very cool
KHivers need to assassinate not only Sotomayor, but a couple of Republican senators in a state with Democratic Governor because sure as hell Manchin and Sinema are not going to vote Kamalol into the Supereme Court. If they are serious and pulled this off, then godspeed.
Right? They have the legal power to kill whoever they want. Any serious government would have purged the opposing party the second the results started to turn against them.

KHive go on Trillbillies
How would this be an own? Harris just gave conservatives the presidency and Congress, the SCOTUS balance of powers would remain unchanged and she isn’t even that young, so she might need to be replaced like 12 years from now.
When you only ever reward losers it shouldn’t be a surprise when you only ever lose
Please.
All the GOP has to do is tell you “no” and you WILL obey them.
Did they just forget about McConnell blocking Obama’s SC nomination for 11 months after Scalia’s death?
Democrats control the senate right now though. They could nominate and confirm a Justice tomorrow if they wanted to (well, if Manchin and Sinema wanted to).
Despite the argument McConnell made in 2016 (and as proven in 2020), the timing relative to elections doesn’t matter. All it takes is the President and 51 senators being willing to do it.
Sadly they don’t have 51. If it’s not the usual 2 another one will do a surprise no unless option is to the right of garland
Either yes, or they would suffer in principled silence and lose knowing they had the high ground or something.
This was the same thing that conservatives were saying in 2020. That it would be funny if Trump got impeached, Pence became president, and Pence immediately appointed Trump to the SC.
I can’t imagine a job that Trump would hate more
he just wouldn’t show up most of the time
based?
Really does tick me off how useless libs are. Adventurism would fit nicely into their worldview, it would be the perfect solution to the “supreme court rules for life” thing they are always freaking out about. But it shows they don’t really care about making things better, they just want to whine.

Within the confines of the idiotic US supreme court system, getting your loyalists to retire when you’re able to pick their successors ought to be considered basic housekeeping but to libs it remains a wild fantasy.
Let her go bro it’s over
