Bringing attention to your candidate's weaknesses, while their lead is very narrow and the stakes are very high, doesn't benefit your cause. Criticize during a primary. Criticize while they hold office. During an election, it's all hands on deck. Yes, I am sure me discussing Joe Biden on GGD will swing Ohio towards Trump. May I remind you we were told to shut up during the primary as well. Criticizing liberals is never allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJHolland 12,725 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Can we keep this thread about RBG's legacy and on the immediate impact of her death? I don't know why sensitive topics like this get dragged back to the 2020 primary. So distasteful and disrespectful. This moment is painful for us all, not just you. 6 hours ago, bionic said: I've said before that I don't think Ted Cruz would be that bad. Once free from Trump's whim he'd go back to being a basic Republican rather than the ultra right zealot he pretends to be atm He's always been a strict textualists and extreme conservative as a young lawyer. He's also very legally persuasive. Law students used to go watch him argue cases in court because he was famous for it. Cruz would be the most conservative and dangerous Justice if appointed to the court imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this thread is about the passing of a true American hero. I think the discussion of the next justice nomination deserved its own, separate thread. My heart still feels so heavy. I feel like I'm moving through the day in slow motion. Still so shocked and saddened. This brilliant woman meant so much to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Judiciary Act of 1869 establishes 9 justices on the court. The act would need to be amended or repealed by Congress, requiring both the house and senate to act. The Senate filibuster would need to be removed to pass it likely. Then the nomination process would have to occur for several justices. There is likely enough opposition from both parties to prevent the repeal of the filibuster or to change the act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden also has problems only with Cuban Latinos because of socialists. This is off topic but it is also categorically untrue. Just because MSNBC has someone on the show and they say something does not make it true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtfoh. Try to make an intelligent argument on how you think your bigotry would further the US. How does divisiveness and stupidity help us? Your sad attempt to dilute our morality is laughable Russian troll. What is unacceptable is your vitriol and hatred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Russian troll and I dont have to agree with you in order to be anti-bigotry and anti-racist. The fact is a lot of you want to act like the MAGA people alter bad and that they are the enemy but in reality the fact that you divide people up between people who agree with you and terrible people makes you just as bad as the MAGA folks. You may not be racist but you sure are intolerant to people who think differently than you. Im pretty sure thats the making of a fascist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when are we going to have the conversation about how selfish RBG was to stay in her position instead of retiring when Obama was president when she just wanted Hillary to be the one to replace her?
