    Gonna be hilarious when Trump gets his fourth Supreme Court justice because another liberal refused to retire when a Democrat was president.

        Dems still control the Senate, so McConnell can’t do anything. Sinema could do something though.

          Dems controlled the Senate for a while last time too. They were too afraid to use a simple majority to pass through any of their nominations though. 60 votes were required to add someone to the supreme Court, dems had a simple majority and were unwilling to lower because “then the Republicans would use it.”

          Lot of good that did

            They actually did remove the filibuster for lower court nominations. Which gave the Republicans easy justification to remove it for Kavanaugh a few years later.

            So they essentially handed the Republicans that power without ever using it themselves. Strategic geniuses.

            But now that it’s gone, they are shooting themselves in the foot - again - by not having Sotomayor (and Kagan really) retire.

    It is 2013. A girlboss refuses to retire from the supreme court and her seat will be filled by the opposition when she dies after the next election.

      Translation: We need the threat of her death in office to blackmail voters with at least one more 40-year old Federalist Society Judge to dominate the judicial branch for the next generation, just in case Thomas kicks it and Roberts pulls a Souter.

    simply win every election until 2054 so the dems will get a one vote margin on the supreme court, then real change can start!
