The Supreme Kangaroo Court of the United States strikes again. It’s kind of amazing that out of 9 justices we have 2 avowed rapists, not to mention several christian nationalists.
I 100% blame the Democratic party for this. They’ve been assisting the Republicans in their efforts to create this court for the last 40 years. Thomas should never have been confirmed to the court and Ruth Bader Ginsberg hung on at a time when she should have left while the “liberal” dems controlled both the presidency and the Senate and could easily have replaced her with a(n at least mostly) liberal justice.
I would still place some blame on Republicans for insisting on nominating sexual offenders, corrupt pieces of shit, etc. Yes the Dems should have done more to stop them, but i think the GOP should bear some responsibility for being sociopaths
Blaming Republicans is like blaming a wolf for eating a chicken. It’s in their nature, it’s what they do. So no, I’m going to blame the farmer for allowing the wolf into the chicken coop in the first place.
Don’t blame the murderer, it’s just in their nature. Hmmm…. Pretty shit take TBH. Dems are chickenshit fail lovers, but let’s be real. The reason the SC is loaded with these scumbags is due to Republicans, Bitch McTurtle, and the Fed Soc.
Republicans are human, but they’re not people in the normative sense of the word. Blaming them is like blaming rabid animals. You might think this is an exaggeration. Technically, only 5% of people are psychopathic, but the condition is a spectrum. Sub-diagnostically, it’s closer to 30% of the population. Those are the folks happy to ban abortion, criminalize homosexuality, etc. A main feature of psychopathy is an indifference to the truth, moral or empirical, and the suffering of others.
The more I learn about things like this, the more I start to think that any quorum-based governance (e.g. democracy) is not just a scheme to balance radical differences of opinion, but to average out adverse and dysfunctional psychology. This, of course, has broken down somewhat, due to forces that keep selecting for more psycopathy than not.
With the benefit of hindsight we know RBJ should have stepped down sooner, but realistically the last opportunity was in 2014. Blaming her (and the democrats) entirely, but not blaming the republicians who blocked Obama’s nomination is like blaming an abuse survivor for what happened to them, and not the abuser.
It’s also frustrating that they let a seat be stolen.
McConnell invents a rule out of whole cloth and blocks an appointment.
The Dems could have played hard ball, they could have gone with the line that the senate was fulfilling its role of advising and consenting by not holding a vote. They want it to be read as a rejection, make them hold a vote, say that no vote means they are fine with it.
Republicans exceed their powers every time they have them to reshape this country to their vision. Democrats refuse to use the full scope of their power to accomplish anything.

This is such a dumb take.
