First let’s point the obvious: Obama did fuck up in not getting Ginsburg and Breyer out of there and get two Sotomayors to replace them. Basic politicking was not done.

First let’s point the obvious: Obama did fuck up in not getting Ginsburg and Breyer out of there and get two Sotomayors to replace them. Basic politicking was not done.
Second: it’s times like these where we need to use the Constitution as a guide. First, forget the fucking President for a minute and work our asses off to control the Senate. Article II Section II states that the Senate is the ultimate decider of appointees (paraphrase). If the Dems control the Senate regardless of who’s in the Oval Office, we got a chance (slim but at least something).
Finally, let’s borrow a page from Andrew Jackson aka “The Proto Trump“ playbook and tell the Supreme Court to fuck off on their rulings. They only “interpret” the laws which is just fancy talk for letting their political biases fly! Also they have no enforcement body to enact their decisions. It’s like looking at Fredo and saying he’s Don Corleone. If we can’t outright remove it at least treat it like the low level institution that it is.
TL;DR: vote for progressive Senators and stop deifying the Supreme Court they way we do and we might have a chance to get out of this somewhat intact
