there are people talking about the Democrats increasing the number of justices to 11 once they win back Congress...they seem to forget that Republicans can just pack the court again when the pendulum swings
TWO TERMS, FOUR SC SEATS

his last appointment was good, the people on the short list this time look okay
if he could get 2 more SC seats we could get a decent court π
Trump should do what obama did
put in a pretty neutral judge
that is best
I want the woman she's only 46, forgot her name
Mother of SEVEN and still a MILF ππΏ

SEXIST PRESIDENT PICKS WOMAN FOR SUPREME COURT <:covfefe:440543908846632980>
lol
itis ok
these days
indians and blacks are white supremacists
it is a sign of the time
"The new justice won't touch Roe v wade"
"It will be a woman who understand women's rights"
Watch her single handedly destroy RvW
π
Don't get 7 kids at Planned Parenthood
"ABORTION IS A BIPARTISAN WOMENS ISSUE!"
"Bitch, please."
@DanielKO that woman is actually his favorite from the short list I think
Word on the street from Fox News is that Trump narrowed it to the other two guys
The official notice will come on Monday
yeah, I don't think he'll pick her, I think she'd be really good though
Next round then. Maybe 6 months at this rate lol
lol
@Achlys I disagree with picking a neutral judge
the problem we have is that people expect justices to "interpret" the constitution through a progressive lens
we need judges who read the constitution and interpret it based on what was intended by the writers
@pandaxcentric There's actually a debate in the Libertarian circle right now as to what Originalism even means these days lol
in Chrisitanity there's this idea of Hermeneutics
basically looking at what society was at the time the verses were written, and using that context when interpreting them (as well as other relevant verses)
Really interesting discussion
I'll have to watch it later
the problem when you just use the court to say way you want, like for gay marriage or abortion, then it can be overturned when other justices get appointed
the right way to make things permanent is for Congress to do its job, make a Bill or ammend the Constitution
but for gay marriage for example...they couldn't get the votes in Congress, so they decided to bypass it and use the SC to get it done instead, and this is where you see the Originalism argument coming into play a lot of times
