It's possible there'd be weaker resistance to Trump's next pick since SCOTUS would already be majority conservative.
doubtful
it'll be even worse
centrists are people that agree and disagree with both the left and the right depending on the topic.

centrists are more practical than idealigical
The whole 'le indecisive fencesitter' meme comes from centrists being thrown in with in with uninitiated independents
I don't think it's fair to say that only centrists adhere to principles instead of toeing the party line
its more fair to say that than ever
Most centralists tend to be utilitarian
Generally centrists are found towing a party line in a lot of ways.
if you have principles you are most likely a centrist... why? because both left and right have fucking idiotic ideas.
I'm a hard centrist, but I use the republican party to advocate what I want

Cenrist just take this fallacy to next level.
I can see RBG quitting as soon as the reality sets in that she'll die before she ever writes another majority opinion.
You can't both value principle over party AND tow the party line
no, party lines shift
the middle ground fallacy has NOTHING to do with centrists
right now, republicans are more closely aligned to my principals
hwoever it coudl sway
I am not a republican. A republican is me for the time being.
correct
Roughly framed.
basically because the democrats have become super extreme in the last few years
Republicans are EPIC
@Jasse that's also not accurate. Most centrists don't believe that the middle ground is the right answer only BECAUSE it's the middle ground
Most democrats are loyal to Party above all else.
repubs are same though
A lot are
A surprising number arent
politicians are
Including some county chairs
I'm nots ure when, but the feed is up
The Republicans got a lot more rebellious individuals after the Ron Paul Revolution and Tea Party.

100k people watched the motion to invoke cloture yesterday
I liked Ron Paul
