    And the reactions have began...

    Florida politicos react to Amy Coney Barrett SCOTUS confirmation
    Opinions on the partisan vote predictably fell along party lines.

    Women who want to send other women to Gilead are traitors.
    Like Jewish Nazis and trans JK Rowling supporters.

    If people are supposed to be embraced by a group no matter what, Trump would have gone to McCain's funeral, and said glowing shit about him.

    An, honest, kind word for the boob, good for you.

    [though McCain was swamp anyway, good riddance. Hope Graham joins him in political oblivion next week.]

    Which one exactly?

    Something real we'd be familiar with, or some paranoid garbage about Antifa ninjas breaking into your house in your sleep, and eating half of your cereal?

    I read somewhere that ACB is the first justice to be confirmed without any bipartisan support. Seems true at a glance. (Kavanaugh got a WV Democrat to cross over.)

    That's quite a statement about the uncouth Democrats, in the movie on the screen that I'm watching. ; )

    The GOP may be seal clubbing baby eating mean bastards, but at least they've shown class in SCOTUS confirmations.

    I expect such a thing from federal fetus in regards to using sexual orientation as an insult. It is what the proud boys and trump supporters do.

    You know what actually bugs me? When some ally dipshit goes and tries to insult a person like federal farmer by saying they are a deplorable because they are secretly gay. That is asuch a backhanded way to use homosexuality as an insult to people by throwing white straight cisgendered trash into the glbt arena. That pe5rson must be all fucked up because they are really gay inside shows an attitudew of complete disrespect for glbt people, and is just an insult to the community.

    You expect homophobia from a deplorable, but when it comes from a person who claims to be an ally it gets through anymore. So remember, federalt fetus is one of yours straight people. Fix your shit.

    As for federal fetus, faggots are some of the nicest most awesome people I know, and you are a trump cock sucking little white straight POS. Now go to your MAGA rally.

    Yeah, a world where kids are kept in cages, women have their uteruses ripped out, and people are black-bagged off the streets.
    Oh, wait....

    Depends on how far your right wing nuts and their handlers want to take it. Get rid of ACA, Roe v. Wade, same sex marriage, anti-discrimination laws in the workplace, environmental laws that protect all of us and see how much support there is for rebalancing the Supreme Court. And by the way, Amy Coney Barrett has been groomed to do all of those things. It’s quite the spectacle to see those on the right tear down our republic in the name of holding on to power.

    What kind of stupid system allows a one-term president who's clearly unhinged (and probably criminal) to appoint three Supreme Court justices? :wtf:

    This truly is the tyranny of the minority.

    Your country is fucking broken.

    Well, the impeachment mechanism was supposed to work, but the founders didn't count on a senate so corrupt and cowardly, they'd actually make the calculation "yeah...this guy is a maniac...but we need him".

    2016 presidential election: Trump wins 46% of the popular vote and becomes President of the United States of America.

    2018 senate election: Republicans win less than 40% of the overall popular vote but actually increase their control of the upper chamber.

    In what reality do "conservatives" in America actually think they represent the views of the majority of their fellow citizens?

    Your country is fucking broken.

    It's really chilling to ponder that the country's system basically worked on the honor system for 240 years.

    And all it takes to break the honor system is one little Mitch McConnell going "hey, what are you idiots following all these RULES for? What are you, a bunch of FAGS!?".
    "Hey! We're not fags!! *They all race to burn the country down*".

    WAB's displeasure is an unexpected bonus, even if he is a foreign colonial without a voice. Safe to assume WAB isn't familiar with Reid's comments last week?

    More good humor, from teh webz:

    Oh, also:

    Biden is outraged Republicans moved ahead with the confirmation of Sandra Day O’Connor.

    WAB has been bad mouthing the US for a while now, I'm not surprised he's losing it over a perfectly legitimate exercise of power by the senate.

    The squad is calling for court packing. Will Biden finally answer this question or continue to ignore it?

    This graphic here:

    ... seems to indicate to me that this poll purposely over sampled Republicans. I seriously doubt that the number of Democrats who support the appointment of a Justice just a few weeks before a national election rose
    3%. As a matter of fact, other polling indicated that the nomination and confirmation of a SCOTUS Justice is unpopular at this point.

    Nah... that's just the way we've done it for a while. I don't see any reason to keep doing it that way when you have an entire branch of Gov that's totally unaccountable to the people when another branch has used it to serve partisan means. Call it what you want but Court reform... and not just the SCOTUS, but all federal court reform should be on the table.
