I fully expect them to bully Thomas or Alito out if it looksa like the Senate is going to flip next year and stack the court further. We should have 3 more seats on this court from Scalia/RBG/Kennedy. Be mad at RBG, she put herself over the country. She knew she was sick under Obama.
I can not like Mitch McConnel while also holding Dems accountable for their failure to learn lessons. Dems had ways around Mitch but chose to stick with norms, norms that Reps would shatter under Trump. Dems haven’t been playing the same game since 2010 and it shows across the political spectrum.
The Senate isn’t flipping blue, in fact Republicans will likely flip more seats. Either way I see Thomas and Alito staying on for the rest of their lives.
This is a take given by someone who ignores historical trends and is underestimating the level of backlash that this administration is going to feel going into the midterms. Trump lost both chambers for Reps the last time he was in office, you’re delusional if you think there will be red flips.
Also, the republican justices know they are not individuals, they are cogs in a machine and can be replaced with identical cogs. The libs have a trumpian "only I can do this job" conceit
Libs have been trying to hold themselves up as pillars of morality and justice for decades when in reality they each are trying to cement their names in history as saviors like MLK or JFK. The fandom around RBG at the start of Trump’s presidency solidified her choice to her grave in her mind.
Most seats up for election are in Republican strongholds. This will allow the GOP to funnel money to Georgia, Virginia, New Hampshire Minnesota and Michigan races. Also don’t be shocked if New Mexico is in play given Hispanics are fleeing from the Democrat Party.
“Strongholds” don’t matter in elections like this next one. We are in charted territory here with the tariffs, no party that has ever initiated tariffs at this scale kept congress in the election after implementing them. Republicans need turnout and enthusiasm to flip seats, they wont have that.
