In reply to the discussion: A note to all Trump supporters who may be lurking here [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)But, things can change fast. Trump is talking about putting someone in who could be there for 40-46 years. We to have three things happen, two that we can control, one that we can't control. First, we need to retake Congress in November and hold it in 2020, add to our advantage in 2020. Second, we need to suredly defeat Trump's reelection in 2020. If we fuck up either, the country could be doomed. The third thing in that we must hope that none of the four liberals leave the Court or die before we get rid of Trump. If all the liberals are there with a democratic President and Congress, the two oldest ones should retire and allow themselves to be replaced by two young liberals. Ideally, all four should retire and allow the democratic President to replace them with healthy young liberals. If those three things happen, we regain the advantage because Roberts has a health issue and so do Thomas, a democratic President could make up to 6 appointments. Because McConnell changed Senate rules to aid republican nominations. the democratic Senate leader must be ruthless in getting the nominations through, he or she should not give a shit about what republicans think or what polls say. The leaders should also ruthlessly make lower court nominations and appointments, similar to what republicans are doing now.
