Like an hour after everyone fires off their “no retirements” takes.

From this pretty-casual-court-watcher's perspective, do we think this will change much about what's been going on for the past year and a half or so? It seems like he's swung right on most economic and labor issues, and has even on most social issues after Obergfell. Were they any important decisions from the beginning of the Trump administration that would've swung if a more conservative justice was in his seat?

Obviously, if Trump nominates a 40-year-old judge, that's going to have incredible long-term impact. Just thinking about the short-term now.

She sits down in front of the mirror, breathes deeply, smooths her dress, and locks eyes with her reflection.

All kidding aside, thank god Republicans have such steadfast and set opinion that Supreme Court nominees should never, ever be voted on during an election y-

I'm not even mad at him, the dude is 80 something, he should probably spend time with his family. I am still PISSED with the Dems for taking such a white glove approach to the Garland/Gorsuch fiasco. They should have been guns blazing, now we all get to suffer for decades. Awesome.

Democrats are the most useless pussies in the world. Already folding to the will of Republicans on this. Again. Fuck them. Worthless. Ugh.

Hopefully one of the party leaders will take a firm stance saying "No new justices until the mid-terms." But I don't see anyone with the spine to actually do that.

There's nothing the Dems could have ultimately done back then, and there's not much they can do now. Sucks if you're a supporter of the Dems, but that's where we're at.

You guys are acting like Kennedy is some liberal champion. He's a conservative. Sure he's voted with the liberals on occasion but he's certainly been no friend to the left this past term.

That is, in fact, not the basis for this concern.
