"The criminally unfit president that I voted to impeach should decide the future of the Supreme Court."
Really though, this shouldn't be a surprise. It'd be like expecting a Republican to vote against a tax cut for the rich.
No, the President who the Country elected in 2016 is picking another Supreme Court nominee, per the Constitution.
Frankly, I don't like it either but the Dems continue to pay the price of the debacle of 2016 election they caused.
The only other question I have now is will they do the same thing in November.
The whole problem is how dumb what the Republicans said and did in the first place is with Garland. It was an impossible argument to make but they did anyways so it an impossible position to defend now. Should Trump get to appoint and then have confirmed a justice, probably yes. However Obama should have as well, and more so because it was 8 months before not 1 month before. Somehow we are suppose to think in 2014 people were like man that Supreme Court we better elect some republican senators to make sure Obama can’t nominate a justice over the next two years. No fucking voter thought that, it’s just stupid and the worst excuse for republican fuckery. If you want to talk evil, McConnell is it and deserves the worst fate imaginable.
so Thomas and Breyer are the only two justices left from the 90s, what do we think they're gonna do? I would assume Breyer would retire if Biden became president, otherwise he will stick it out. Will Thomas try to retire before the election/possible Biden inauguration so they can ram in another justice? Otherwise I would assume Thomas will retire early in a second Trump term.
Yep, this is Dems fault. Everything Trump does is ultimately the Dems fault.

At this point the Dems should just let them get their justice before the election. It’s going to happen one way or the other. At least this way by letting it happen before the election it could anger enough people to ensure Dem presidential and senate victories.
The fucking mental gymnastics it takes to blame the 2016 "debacle" of an election on dems is mindblowing. Need these old Pub boomers to just fucking ride off into the sunset already.
Hillary was very unpopular beyond her Dem primary base. It’s the truth. She lost a ton of Obama voters. Blame it on sexism, blame it on the FBI, blame it on Russia, whatever, just acknowledge the fucking truth.
Blaming people who didn’t vote for Trump for Trump getting elected is pretty dumb.
