In reply to the discussion: Those who refused to vote for Hillary in 2016, and VP Harris in 2024, are complicit in the Supreme Court we have today. [View all]
B.See
(8,532 posts)54. You don't seem to understand
the basis (or the reasoning) for my position that even with the same justices, the damage they'd have been able to do with Harris in the WH, even via obstruction, would have been LESS than what they are doing and will YET do in working hand in hand, further empowering a fascist authoritarian out to destroy democracy.
Not to mention the plain simple fact that Trump is in the position to appoint MORE of the same ilk.

So, we'll just have to agree to DISAGREE.
You have a nice day.

That is exactly right, and if I was a betting man, they will before the sociopath leaves office.

Yes and since I am looking back at a pattern, let me point out Bush v Gore, bollixed up by Nader & decided by SCOTUS
