For what it's worth, while I completely disagreed with how Garland got shafted, picking Gorsuch is one of the very few things Trump has done that I totally agreed with. I just hope his next pick is as good.

According to the US law, what is the maximum damage the Supreme Court can cause to either a single person or company? Assuming all those members are as evil as possible. I.e can the Supreme Court alone pass/force any harassing laws etc.

Fwiw, this is why the Democrats essentially forcing McConnell to use the nuclear option was so shortsighted. Gorsuch, was at least an agreeable candidate. Obviously not going to side with the left often, but he’s nobody’s puppet. He’s a good judge. Now though...it’s a lot easier to get a less worthy justice in. Just obviously shortsighted, and everybody said it/knew it at the time.
 
To add a bit: rigid adherence to a very stringent set of ideas, without regard in any fashion to changes in facts, circumstances, or cultural mores, is actually the mark of a terrible judge.

Conservative orthodoxy is presently engaged in a very long game of perverse selection when it comes to the judiciary.
 
im near 100% sure its the Russians...

Never forget how they did the honorable justice scalia o_O
 
I think we should wait until the new congress is sworn in. If 8 months was too close to an election then shouldn’t 4 months be too close? We need to let the American people decide who the next SC justice should be. Right?

There’s a difference between a midterm election and a presidential election.

Either way, the Democrats forced the Republicans to go away from the 60 votes needed when they wouldn’t let Gorsuch in...and that was while they knew Kennedy was contemplating retirement. Incredibly shortsighted.
