Pence would choose someone just as bad.
IN the end, our elected Dems will likely back down on both though, given their desire to "keep that powder dry"

(115,267 posts)Trump is outta there in four years, max; probably less. On the other hand, a Supreme Court justice can't start WWIII or appoint more right-wing justices or issue deranged executive orders. Trump can probably do more damage in a few months than a SC justice can do in an entire career.

We could wait out until another conservative buzzard drops off the court... maybe even appoint a few more justices to even things out.
But I honestly don't know which I'd pick. Generally I'm a know-it-all type.

(3,077 posts)But I would choose the Supreme Court vote. That will have an impact for decades. I am trying to hold onto hope that we can limit the damage inflicted by Trump.

(2,056 posts)Trump is going to destroy the country. The Supreme Court Justice is replacing a conservative so it won't make a huge difference for this appointment. Trump needs to go for the good of the United States. Country first.
