John Cornyn just said the GOP would eliminate the filibuster to approve a Drumpf SCOTUS pick

21. What you're saying makes sense in our current political climate.

When I stop and think about it, a properly padded SC would also help ensure racial driven gerrymandering, voter ID laws and and potential further infringements on the right of American's to vote. It's a veritable blank check, legally speaking, which could assure Republican control of many areas for the life of those currently elected. I won't go into my vision of the country by the end of that period, I'll just say bleak doesn't do it justice.

I ran into several of those, "is that all you've got" types when explaining why a protest vote was a terrible idea. In many ways they reminded me of Trump supporters. They were so blinded by their own limited and flawed perceptions that they were literally willing to vote themselves into a future of living hell. You couldn't reason with them about how all our gains for the past 50 years will be undone, they simply refused to hear it. Now we're all up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
