She is a Supreme Court Justice, most famous for her policies in furthering Womens rights while also maintaining and promoting Mens rights.
Unfortunately she placed all her cards on a Hilary victory in 2016, and chose to remain in her seat, losing the chance to be succeeded by a like minded individual.
Today she died, leaving her Supreme Court seat open for President Trump to appoint a new Judge. This is a position you serve for life. Till death or retirement.
Buddy I hate to break it to ya but ICE is doing forced sterilizations in their concentrations camps. Yeah, America has concentration camps. Just because it doesnât affect you doesnât mean its not evil.
America is a toilet and weâre all the turds circling the bowl.
Never underestimate the power of an imbalanced Supreme Court. They are arguably more powerful than the president, and are the real power of law in the land.
I believe she hedged her bets on another democrat succeeding Obama. In her mind Iâm sure it was âIâll be able to go a few more years. If something forces my retirement or I unexpectedly pass a judge can be nominated that is similar to me.â This train of thought was a mistake because it put the outcome she desired up to chance instead of just deciding it herself and being done.
Her passing has some grave implications. Whether you agreed with her or not when she voiced an opinion it tended to be rational/reasonable.
If the Democrats were in the position that McConnell is in, they would do exactly the same. If the Democrats had controlled the Senate back in 2016 when Scalia died they would have done it then, they just didnât have the option.
Those in power will do what they have the power to do, everything around that is just posturing and it really doesnât matter what side of the political isle you are talking about.
Its an odd sort of left-wing radical who was anti-BLM and often sided with her right-wing colleagues on things. She was, arguably, a neoliberal or possibly a âprogressiveâ on some issues, notably womenâs issues. But on economics, donât worry - she was plenty right-wing for you lot.
If Republicans were gonna put up a new justice, id rather it be an actual Republican President, and not a larper whose only on The Republican ticket because third parties are not a viable path.
Cant wait for everyone to be massive hypocrites. The left will suddenly demand that the choice wait, which is the polar opposite of 2016 while the right will suddenly be ok with pushing it through before the election. Its almost like every one of them lacks actual integrity and they are all corrupt.
