Well the good news for progressives is you'll likely see Thomas and maybe Alito retire during Trump's next term. The bad news is they'll be replaced by 35-year-old strict-constructionist Constitutional conservatives.
Yeah and if Sotomayer pulls a Ginsberg, suddenly Trump gets three picks, effectively forcing a radically right-wing court for at least the next 40 years.
The real tragedy of Trump being elected is that this effectively ends any chance of reforming the court. Gen Z will basically be in their 60s before there is any chance of balancing the court let alone swinging it left.
The is McConnell's wet dream and has been his entire career. Unfortunately, his dream came true.
I wonder if Biden is happy for his "friend"
But hey, at least we maintained our ideological purity
And eggs might be 5 cents cheaper
Nah they won't
I gave up my human rights and all i got in return was 5 cents
Not even constitutional conservatives... it'll be theocratic authoritarians...
That won’t matter when the newly Republican controlled Congress expands and packs SCOTUS a la Project 2025.
They won't be strict constructionists. The Heritage Foundation doesn't endorse strict constructionists. They endorse whatever the hell supports their individual needs of the individual moments. They have no guiding principles or morals.
Yes, but Trump has/had been taking legal marching orders from the Federalist Society which does support a strict read, no?
No. We should all be aware of that by now. They claim to have a strict read, when it's convenient for them. We've seen undeniable proof from this very Supreme Court, from Samuel Alito in particular, that they will completely abandon that principle whenever they feel like.
