9. anybody who knows people, actual living breathing human beings should never want
republicans appointing another justice imo, how long is it going to take to undo things that have happened in the past 7 years? It's maddening.

15. It will take DECADES to Change Them!
And I don't think a Corporate owned politician would appoint someone to my taste anyway.

13. It's called stopping the bleeding, genius
The solution to stopping bleeding is not taking a knife to the wound and making it bigger. You tie a fucking tourniquet.

You obviously don't have anything to lose or you wouldn't be talking this dumb shit.

8. Amazing isn't it.?
The highest court in the land that will be ruling on BUshCo policies for years to come and some people don't see it as an issue.

Geez, it's one the the biggest issues IMHO.

11. It seems some do want that
if it means they get to spite the Democrats for not nominating their candidate. Petulant little kids, they are.

24. Well

26. Perhaps the three words I posted were enough to make my point
Perhaps not. Should we discuss it or are you just going to be cross?

27. No
it didn't make your point. I wished you would explain it, but my hopes for that are long past.

30. and you still can't express your point
Why bother visiting a discussion board? Perhaps you could find a mime troupe somewhere.

19. I don't give a fuck
I have no illusions that I'm going to change anybody's mind here. I'm just pointing out that people who don't vote for the Democratic nominee in November are childish little fuckheads.

14. How is it any worse than a Dem Congress meekly APPROVING a Republican's
appointees to the Supreme Court?

Didn't anyone ever tell them that they're NOT REQUIRED to approve a president's choices?

16. What I want is irrelevant.
I'm not going to get what I want.

Of course I will vote for what I want, not what I don't want. Just because I don't get it, doesn't mean I won't vote for it.

I don't want a republican; therefore I won't be voting for a republican. If a republican wins, it won't be because I voted for him or her.
