Yes, those who go down this road will be insulted by the very notion it's partisanship at work. The correct reply would have been, Shut up you, I'm trolling. I would also have accepted "LOL".

This is, of course, wholly unsurprising. What's going to be funny is watching everyone who twisted themselves into pretzels to make (really bad) arguments about why it's appropriate to hold a seat open during a presidential election year suddenly make arguments as to why a vacancy must be filled ASAP regardless of timing on the political calendar. Because McConnell is a giant hypocrite with no moral compass. The best thing that can happen in this country is that he can leave office. He's an old white guy completely out of touch with what people want and only in touch with what gets him more money or power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what they will say of people who don't agree with them? You mean, if you don't agree with them, it is because you hate America? Oh, yeah. That is open-and-shut.

There are many for whom the partisan battle has eviscerated their moral compasses. The idea of putting aside partisan gains for the good of the country seems to be lost with the exception of people like Justin Amash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Deal court of the mid 1930s overturned precedents that were a over century old. This did not happen. The Supreme Court has overturned itself three times. None of them were in the 1930s.

Precedents are established when legislatures pass laws, when administrative agencies establish regulation, when courts issue rulings. A large body of precedents were established when the constitution was ratified. The new deal court radically overturned the understanding of what the constitution meant.

Precedent is established when a court issues a ruling, and not through the enactment of laws or promulgation of regulations. And, of course, the only precedent binding on SCOTUS, if binding even is the right word, are its own prior rulings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
