Because they weren't galvanized before?
For 4 years it's been nothing but Trump hatred from the media - but this gets them off the fence?

Nah. I don't think Trump is winning, but this isn't why. Dems will likely exand the court anyway when Harris gets in there.
Let's hope.

Scale of 1-10, how evil is ACB
I don't think she's that different from most of the other justices. The only difference is she's connected a bit more to conservative social issues rather than just being a textualist. Imo, it's not about her as much as the way we think about the role of the judicial branch in US society and how it needs a nudge in a different direction. The US is the only country that somehow thinks its 18th century architects were timeless geniuses when the limits of our constitution have been continually exposed by time.

It's kinda comparable to religion and their texts.
Some people are able to get over being fanatics of their holy book, seeing as some things in it can be nonsensical in modern times, others are not.

Yes. She is definitely one to be wary of.

I personally would hate to be judged from a God person like that. If half the info about her church are beliefs are true she should be considered a fanatic and be nowhere near delivering her form of justice to normal people.

She is the equivalent of a fundamentalist muslim.

A lawyer friend (for context) feels that this move will galvanize an anti-trump vote insuring his loss.

I'm not sure of that accuracy but Trump and GOP have been pretty muted on this. They are just pushing it through. Tried to do it over weekend.
*ensuring*

You're not guaranteeing protection for his loss from wind damage, goof.

That sounds like cheering not melting down.

That’s some really aggressive cheering.If I didn’t have to work today I could find you thousands of similar videos. Not to mention the thousands of others where republicans are having a meltdown about something trivial. Just like I could find thousands of videos of Democrats having a meltdown over something trivial. Do you not remember the Obama years? Republicans were having meltdowns left and right.(no political pun intended there.)

Fair point. I guess people are mostly the same when emotions come out.

You are so triggered you are posting about killing leftists yourself.

If that is no meltdown, you are a seriously unhinged. So which is it?
. Treason is a very serious crime. I have no issue upholding it's penalty.

The right are snowflakes? HAHAHAHA
One of the reasons I moved from being a Trump voter to a Biden voter is I just couldn't handle the whining from the Trump collective anymore.
That might not be "the right" but it certainly is never ending in the Trump arena. I was embarrassed to be in the company of so many snowflakes.

Let's hope.
Yeah.
Then when the GOP wins in 2024 they can expand it to 16 or 17 jurors.

And we'll just continue on that way, skirting a system that has been in place for 100 years.
