Congress can designate another group (rather than the Cabinet heads) to decide...someone suggested a group consisting of all the living former Presidents and Vice Presidents. That would mean 6 Democrats and 4 Republicans. The 2 Bushes would presumably vote with the Democrats. I don't know how Quayle or Cheney would go but they would have at least 8-2. But of course it would not work without Pence.
Given how the economy is going, I’m having a hard time picturing any Democrat beating Trump in 2020. That’s especially true if their nominee is Squaw Grey Beaver whom he will absolutely own. It doesn’t matter how pissed off Left Coasters and Northeasterners are. The rest of the Country will outvote them again.
Then we’re looking at the Census only counting citizens instead of illegals and Trump replacing at least 2-3 of the Gang of Four on the Supreme Court which has been the Left’s only means of pushing their agenda for a generation. Combine that with labor unions being weakened by no longer being able to force people to join like it or not and you get complete Armageddon for the Left.
They know it. That’s why they’re so hysterical now.
The “wise Latina” is 64 and has type I diabetes which has sent her to the hospital once already this year. Life expectancy for a woman with this condition is 68. Trump could well replace 3 of the Gang of Four on the Supreme Court if re-elected.
I have not thought much about the Wise Latina and know even less about her. I didn’t know that she was a Type I diabetic.
Wonder what Kagan’s problem(s) are.
If they lose the SC look for out right civil war. The SC was their backstop they always went too when they lost at the ballot box and they will eventually defy SC rulings that don’t go their way. That is when the facade of the rule of law will be laid bare and its on like Donkey Kong with the left.
Life expectancy is a function of current age - if someone has a condition which indicates a life expectancy of 68, and she is already 69, that wouldn’t make sense.To be clear - do you mean that a woman 64 year of age who has type I diabetes has a life expectancy of 68?
And there is exactly the answer.By 2024, you’d see at least three Supreme Court seats flipped over. - pepsionice
They know that Ginsberg is going to croak soon, Bryer is likely to leave or die. Those two departures would leave the democRATS with Kagan, and the "Wise Latina".
That is why the left is soooooo desperate to remove Trump.
We don’t know for sure that Obama beat Romney fair and square. After all, we know that Obama thought he had the fix in for Hillary. How likely does it seem that he would have done less to beat Romney than he did to assure that Hillary would beat Trump??? IMHO the Democrats are so upset at Trump, in part, because they had made a policy decision that GWB would be the last Republican POTUS in history. And, predicated on that and in furtherance of that, the Democrats instituted the Reid Rule at the end of 2013 so that the (at the time, Democrat-majority) Senate would be able to confirm Obama’s judicial appointments without any minority (Republican) ability to filibuster.That was a risky strategy because the filibuster was the tool Democrats had used to prevent the confirmation of any conservative justices to SCOTUS even when Republicans had the White House and a majority in the Senate. But hey - if there’s never gonna be another Republican POTUS . . .
Now the Democrats face a perfect storm - a Republican POTUS committed to, and living up to, the nomination of SCOTUS justices who will enforce the Constitution, and an aggressive Republican Senate majority determined to confirm them. Worse, for them, the Republican economic policy is doing its job - and if “It’s the economy, stupid,” the Democrats are shoveling against the tide.
Not to worry, right? There’s still the MSM - but What is Trump doing with his tweets????
You’re right...the democRATS never imagined that they would find themselves exactly where they are.
As you said, they had decided that they were going to end the republic and Republicans. The courts were their preferred method to implement their agenda because what they desired was so demented that the public would never vote for it, and an elected representative would never vote for it, and then have to face the voters.
Reid probably figured that the fix was in, and it was time to press the “nuclear option” button down.
Ultimately, they want you dead. Really.
Is incompetence a “problem”?
