[Serif]

Hold it in goddamnit

 

[Moppeh]

FUCK

 

[Kthulhu]

Before or after the midterms?

31st of July, so before.

Shame he couldn't have waited a few months, then at least Trump would've been forced to pick someone more moderate.

 

[Dalek]

True Doom and Gloom.

This sucks

 

[KamalaHarris]

We continue to be fucked

 

[BorkBork]

When Scalia passed away, there was a glimmer of light.

Now the door is slammed shut for decades.

Perhaps the hardest pill to swallow.

 

[Psamtik]

There goes Roe. I guess it's about time to abandon ship.

 

[Hellwarden]

Cool.

And by cool, I mean fuck everything.

 

[Sagadego17]

America is fucked for generations to come.

Pretty soon, gays will be locked up and women forced and reduced to babymaking machines.
It'll be a real life Handmaid's tale.

But hey, it was such a difficult election right. Both were bad, right.

 

[C.Mongler]

Jesus fucking christ, this is bad.

 

[BorganXI]

How quickly will Trump get someone in?

Can the Dems stall and block like GOP did to Obama's pick until midterms?

 

[Deleted member 3208]

You guys are so fucked up.

 

[Jerm]

Fucking bummer man, get ready for 6-3s.

 

[ArrogantBastard]

Decades of shit courts because of fucking emails.

Fuck this country.

Click to shrink...

Wasn't cause emails, that was just the excuse. I hope no voters are really proud.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

God damn it...

 

[Jessie]

Well your guys' country is doomed.

Trump has 5 vs 4 now.

Once Trump has 6 hardline conservative justices it's all over.

 

[Mahonay]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

What a ridiculous thing to say, the dude is 81, he probably has a good reason for wanting to retire.

 

[alr1ght]

Yep, we are fucked for decades because of the last election.

 

[Canti]

Oh boy are we fucked. This is the worst news.

 

[GitarooMan]

Just absolutely disastrous. The people who voted for Trump have potentially fucked up the Supreme Court (and by extension the country) for decades. It's incredibly depressing.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Time to pull an FDR and increase the size of the court when dems regain the White House.

 

[Dodongo]

Let me take a moment to remind everyone about Hillary's emails and how we "just don't trust her"

Thanks for fucking over everyone else on the planet, non-voters.

 

[SlickShoesRUCRazy]

LOL!!!!!

That's all I can do.

Time to look to moving to a different country.

 

[Templeusox]

God damn.
Wish he could have held out til after Mid terms, giving us the chance to take control of one chamber, and prevent an appointment by Trump.

My guess is that Kennedy thought about this, and felt that it was the wrong thing to do.

He will be missed.

Click to shrink...

The dems don't have the guts to do that. What with civility and everything

 

[Mesoian]

We're fucked.

 

[acheron_xl]

He's been voting pretty much like a Trump pick anyway.

 

[Kirblar]

couldnt even wait for the midterms

a legendary coward and traitor to his country

Click to shrink...

If it's health related he might not be able to. Still super shitty and we have to fix the SC the next time Dems have a Trifecta.

Conservative packed supreme court? When's the Roe V Wade challenge?

Click to shrink...

This is going to replace a moderate conservative with a not-moderate-at-all conservative. Roberts/Kennedy don't always vote w/ the right wing of the court, his replacement almost assuredly will.

 

[Jiggy]

Damn, it's going to take decades to fix SCOTUS, and that's assuming Trump doesn't even get a second term

 

[legacyzero]

I feel sick...

 

[Killthee]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

 

[ArmsofSleep]

Remember when democrats let the GOP pick a justice out of the kindness of their hearts


They should all be exiled

 

[Sai]

ah, we're boned

 

[Papaya]

Oh no. This is not good..

 

[ezekial45]

God fucking dammit.

 

[Korigama]

And now Trump gets to pick a second Supreme Court justice. Congrats on screwing yourselves, America.

 

[Midnight Jon]

The dems don't have the guts to do that

Click to shrink...

More like they literally don't have a majority to do that, now that McConnell ripped out the filibuster for court picks

 

[Kurdel]

This is terrible news.

 

[Joeytj]

Dems should at least block the nominee until the midterms and maybe we can get another swing vote.

Maybe...

 

[geomon]

Fuck this day, just fuck everything

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

Whyyyy on earth couldn't he stick with it just a bit longer

 

[Deleted member 268]

Y'all are fuuuuuucked

 

[Ithil]

How quickly will Trump get someone in?

Can the Dems stall and block like GOP did to Obama's pick until midterms?

Click to shrink...

Nope, because they don't have the Senate. All those people who voted for "Harambe" or a third party ensured the deranged right wing gets to control the Supreme Court for decades.

 

[Conciliator]

I'm so pissed about that Merrick Garland shit still. That was straight up fraudulent

and fuck that smiley glad-hand Gorsuch idiot

They're obviously going to put the most fascist fucker they can find in that spot

 

[onadesertedisland]

Oh fuck. :-(

 

[Deleted member 1086]

that's it, the "hope" ship in this country has set sail.

Filabuster was trashed.

I know who Kennedy is.

No. I think they (REP) changed the rules so that you only require a simple majority. It's a true nightmare scenario.
