(13,305 posts)When one of the right wingers resigns or passes away if that happens under Obama's watch.
I've said it in many threads before and after today's rulings, but when one of the wingnut justices resigns, the right is going to kick into overdrive to insure that they are not replaced with a liberal.
And all of the beltway media will back them up, with calls to preserve the retiring/dead justices "legacies" and other such claptrap.
And we all know hell well our current prez stands up to pressure from his DC media buddies and the Republican onslaught.
I see unreliable, "centrist" types being nominated, and ultimately getting us nowhere other than further down the shit hole than all of this "bipartisan" bullshit has already shoved our collective heads.
