Noted on MSNBC

[kairos12]

2 Republican Presidents, who failed to win the popular vote, appointed 5 Supreme Justices.

Minority Tyranny.

[BigmanPigman]

1. And Amy Coney Barrett says they aren't partisan.

Suuuuure Amy, sure.

[paleotn]

2. That's the thing about hacks....

They don't know they're hacks. SCOTUS hacks included.

[relayerbob]

3. I disagree

Many, maybe most, of them know ... they just don't care, as long as they get money and power

6. The fact that she accepted her nomination

from a corrupt, lying, president. And also knowing that she would be confirmed by basically the same Senate that denied Merrick Garland and confirmed frat boy beer drinker, shows you that she is completely full of shit and only cares about AMY.

11. Wait a minute!

Don't forget Jeebus.

Amy 💘 Jeebus. She says so aaaaaallllllll the time. Just ask her, she'll tell you. 😳

4. Ah, grasshopper, the road to enlightenment is blocked by the electoral college.

In both cases, Bush & Trump, I recall people who'd never even heard of the electoral college expound of it's great purpose as an exemplar of our founder's wisdom and foresight. You know, for every bad aspect of our early nationhood it's a good bet there was at least one no-good son of a bitch loudmouth founder.

5. This is not coinicidence as the toxic wealthy use media, steal elections...

...corrupt elected officials, and super-duper legal minds to screw us over to keep power and wealth. They are THAT minority.

[brooklynite]

7. When Democrats had supermajorities in the House and Senate, they didn't eliminate the EC.....

Discuss.

[Trueblue Texan]

8. Wouldn't that take a Constitutional amendment?nt

[brooklynite]

9. Yes...Democrats used to control more State Legislatures and Governorships.

[soldierant]

13. Yes. Which is why our best hope is the

National Popular Vote Compact.

My hope is that, if enough states sign on (and we are getting closer), and it goes into effect, and is in effect for a few presidential elections and people can see that bypassing the Electoral College is not the end of the world, that a COnstitutional Amendment could then get passed. Which it certainly could not at this point.

[Mr.Bill]

12. When was the last time that happened? n/t

[Auggie]

10. Just the way it was planned, so many years ago.

[aggiesal]

14. Here is one better ...

Democratic Presidential candidates have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 Presidential elections,
yet in that time have only seated 4 of the last 9 chief justices.
2 each by Clinton & Obama.

Going back to Richard Nixon, (D)'s have only seated 4 of the last 20 justices.
2 each by Clinton & Obama.
0 for Carter.

Kind of makes you mad, doesn't it?
