Sometimes I think that he and McConnell are playing Top Cnut Trumps, playing it like an even more sadistic rich-guy version of the game the Duke Brothers played in Trading Places. Except this isn't a game, and the only Duke to be seen is the pillowcase hatted one who supports the President.

Don't you see? It's because the Republicans can't access the cyber to do their jobs, since all of the wires are blocked by Crooked Hillary's emails. Barner knew about this but didn't do anything about it #MAGA
Yup he did, funnily enough I've just Tweeted him asking what the feck he was on about and if the story has broke yet or not... obviously...crickets........
I'd tweeted minutes before you posted this so we must have been thinking it at exactly the same time.
Fingers crossed for a good one
The Abe and Mary Todd of Vermont, basically.
I can already get giddy imagining the amount of schadenfreude I'm going to enjoy when this moron crashes and burns spectacularly. Its going to be like having sex after not wanking for a month.
So Kennedy needs to hold on, until the midterms at the very least.
Supreme Court agrees to take up the Drumpf travel ban case. Lifts injunctions on previous lower court blocks.
If Russians are meddling in elections to help the GOP, and Obama preferred and expected Hillary to win, how does that add up to him colluding?
My balls are ready to burst at the thought. They're practically scraping the floor.
Partially but not completely. If a person has a relationship with a person being blocked, they can claim hardship and petition for a waiver.
Everyone and their mom and dog knows that it's a Muslim ban. Would be bullshit if they completely disregard the context of this EO.
They have a 5-4 majority.
You just know what's gonna happen if they pass it. There will be a homegrown terrorist attack.
Fairly big win for him. No doubt we'll see plenty of gloating...
Surprised Trump hasn't put out gloating tweet yet.
You will have enough of this in the next 4 months...
And if/when Judge Anthony retires, it'll tilt the SC in his favour totally.
Yep, dire times ahead.
That has been assumed since Trump won the Presidency. The only way this would be slowed down is if no Supremes leave the bench in the next 3 years and Trump is replaced by a Dem President. Otherwise we are likely to see more right of center judges nominated, which will be greatly helped by the Dems recent idiotic decision facilitate the GOP blowing up the 60 vote filibuster.
And he'll still say the Democrats are obstructionists.
Trump/Pence/Ryan will be in office until January 2021, that's 3.5 years from now. If Kennedy and Ginsburg retire, it will be 6-3 by then.
In fact, there have been talks about Thomas retiring, and if he does that in the next 3 years or so, any Democrat taking over in 2021 won't have much to do with the Court.
You are quite tenacious, aren't you?
Mitch McConnell and Co. are trying to ram a healthcare bill with approval rating in the teens down the throat of their own constituents, yet they will play nice and respect the filibuster when they can secure a conservative SC for 20 years.
Right.
Ginsburg I think may try to stay as long as possible. But if Trump wins reelection, I doubt she will stick around for another 4 years.
I hope that she stays until 2021, but she's already 84 years old.
That wouldn't have mattered considering the GOP were always going to just get rid of it at the first opportune moment in which they could do so. The damage was done from the moment Trump assumed the Presidency.
A job without health insurance is just crap.
Yeah, realistically if Trump wins a 2nd term, it could be 7-2 by the end of it since Ginsburg will almost certainly be gone and Breyer is currently only two years younger than Kennedy. The Dems have very little leverage with Trump since the GOP only need 50 votes to push their nominees through.
Not necessarily. They would've been less likely to do so if the Dems didn't push them to do it, which was inevitable given something as important as the Supreme Court.
Skeletor is making a comeback on TV. Someone tell Kate McKinnon.
How sad is it that it's difficult to tell the difference between them at times?
She'll be calling those on Medicaid cockroaches soon.
Conway: "Let them eat cake".
FTFY.
Democrats/Liberals (and many independents) understand that and worried about that, but I have the feeling that when the time comes to correct this (voting en masse in 2018 or 2020), they won't vote.
