Maybe not such a bad thing. Playing the long game.

Agreed. Need another Republican president, Ginsburg to retire, and a conservative appointee to the court.

If trump loses its over.

thomas is out, court goes 6:3 that’s that.
He wins and RBG and Thomas both get replaced and then it’s a proper 5:4.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

all depends on November

Yeah but it was a guaranteed loss this time around. I’ll take my chances on the presidential election, a senate that remains republican and RBG’s death within the next ~4 years. Gotta make it through November first.

Exactly why it was better to punt on these 2A cases than to risk losing it all and risk setting bad precedent. Life is full of gambles and this was no exception.

Yet another bullshit excuse. This is why I am staying home in November. Fuck Conservative lying scum. The only thing we get is excuses and lies.

 

[technicalgadget]

I'll take conservative lying scum over lefty liberal socialists any day...But let's face it, being a politician is all about scum on both sides of the equation.

How many more decade are we going to hear the same excuse?

whats that saying I heard before. politicians on both side are driving us off a cliff, the only difference is how fast they are driving towards the cliff.

 

[Jchrisls]

Additionally, as as IMO, they haven't taken a 2a case since heller~10 years ago. Depending upon the SCOTUS to reverse existing laws is unreliable at best

And this is why they are screwing all of us.

NO RULING, NO VOTES. THEY ALL CAN GO TO HELL

 

[BuffNiag]

Same excuse? I think the last two appointments went well. Ginsberg's got 18 months, tops.

The same worn out excuse: "it's not the right time".

 

[Bozo]

Thomas is the only one up there worth a shit as far as adherence to the Constitution. The rest range from unreliable to all-out enemies of individual liberty. Roberts is clearly a kiddie-diddler or weekend drag queen. No other way to explain his bizarre rulings. Someone has leverage.

That said, depending on the SC to stop politicians from violating our rights is a fool's errand.

When people accept being lied to, that's what they get.

I forget now who said it but basically we have two national socialist parties. One is more socialist, and the other is more nationalist but... yeah.

Never pick a fight you know you’re going to lose.

I think these two were terrible picks.

 

[Calculon]

Roberts is compromised - his name appears in Epstein’s flight logs.

They do what the party that appointed them wants. Conservatives need this issue unresolved.

 

[Jmac00]

"Roberts said he would side with Liberals"

anyone else need proof the Supreme Court is now a political wing of the Left

 

[Celt]

Roberts is compromised - his name appears in Epstein’s flight logs.

I dont think it was confirmed if it was the same John Roberts, but that should be investigated.

Although I do agree that he is compromised. He should be impeached.

If you've given up on the ballot box, you might as well pick up your rifle and get busy.

Me, I'm still planning on voting in November. I'm not ready to give up on a peaceful solution yet.

Rulings first, then votes. There is a logical and rational option. One doesn't need to choose between being a fool or extremist.

 

[Saltwater60]

I think these two were terrible picks.

I agree. The only one worth anything is Thomas. Atilo is ok. Robe set is a liberal at this point and the two Trump appointed are 50/50 at best. If I was KAV I’d have stuck it to every liberal and voted down everything that ever mattered to them unless it was so blatant it’s not even funny. The two Trump appointed have sided with the liberals more often than not from what I’ve seen and Roberts is worse maybe 70/30. So how is the court conservative? I’d argue it’s liberal at this point.

I still hate being black listed as the constitution is clear but it sure is a risk. If Trump loses it’s a lost cause and we’re fucked. We will be left with shotguns and .22’s legally. I agree Thomas will retire, Ginsburg is done, and Roberts I think wants to be replaced by a liberal because he hates Trump. So I’m the end you have one set conservative, two 50/50’s and 6 solid 100% liberals if Trump losses. Even if we retain the senate they can’t hold off liberal picks forever. If Trump losses America is lost.

FIFY

It's important to know which is which.
