If Scalia had been there, it would have been 5-4. One vote deciding the death of all those babies.
Texit, there goes the engine that produced the only job growth during the Obama years. If they Texit it is over.
Kennedy has gone hard left since the demise of Scalia.
There were 5 in favor of striking the Texas law, today, so unless Scalia could have convinced Kennedy to reverse his position, the Texas law was going to fall under the weight of SCOTUS anyway.
***One vote deciding the death of all those babies.***
Millions, sitting idly by, allowing that one vote.
Which is worse.
“If Scalia had been there, it would have been 5-4. One vote deciding the death of all those babies.”
Which points out the obvious: we MUST do everything in our power to prevent Hillary Clinton from naming so much as a single Supreme Court Justice (let alone 3-5 over the next 8 years).
That Trump is not the perfect candidate is utterly irrelevant - NO ONE, EVER was the perfect candidate. We have to be mature enough (not aimed at you) to understand that we are in the real world, that no humans are perfect, and to make a rational choice between 2 candidates. Insofar as the Supreme Court is concerned, there is a VERY distinct difference between the 2 of them: Trump SAYS that he’ll appoint Originalists, and even gave us a list vetted and approved of by the Federalist Society (not exactly a bunch of Lefties); whereas, with Hillary, we KNOW FOR CERTAIN that she’ll appoint ALL Lefties.
This choice is not between pure good and pure evil, but since Clinton is as close to pure evil in the political realm as we’re likely to see in this country (or, at least, I pray that this is so), the choice is almost as easy.
