In reply to the discussion: Kennedy announces retirement from Supreme Court [View all]turbinetree
(27,679 posts)100. I look at this as every appointment that this traitor wants to get on the court is illegitimate
and the only way to stop this BS is to get people into office and have Congress being in control by democrats basically tell the supreme court we are going to pass laws that you cannot block and that you cannot rule under from Article 3 Section 2 paragraph 1 and 2. Congress can pass laws that say that, hey supreme court not this time.................you have no jurisdiction................
This is why we need to get out and vote......................the courts matter, and ever since Reagan that have been made into a right wing agenda following the Louis Powell doctrine......................that is a fact...............
November 2018 cannot get here fast enough...........................get out and vote
