The war is over, and we lost.

82. I think the point is

that we shouldn't beat ourselves up. We better get used to living in the minority. Oh, we may control the House in a couple of years, and even have a Democrat in the White House next cycle or two.

But the Supreme Court (and the lower courts) is where the power is. It doesn't take Nostradamus to see that Thomas and Alito will retire during Trump's term, especially with the Republican control of the Seante. They will be replaced by 2 new justices (I bet one will be Latino) who are as Conservatives (or, if it's possible, more so) than the retiring Justices. both replacements will be in their 40's.

Since they have this down pat, where when the President is a Republican and they control the Senate, their oldest Justices retire and are replaced by younger, like-minded justices.

We, on the other hand, have Justices who remain until they die, and their replacements are decided by fate.

They have a plan, sorta like the "overturn Roe" 50-year plan. But we have hope. That and $5 will get you a coffee at Starbucks
