Ginsburg Fall
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Frankly, she cannot be allowed to step down or leave office. It's a horrible situation, but the courts are stacked enough with far-right SCOTUS's which will set your country back years.
I cannot imagine why the 'left' (sorry, i know you hate the term!) as voters don't seem to be as bothered about the supreme court as the 'right'.
Republican Voters like most on here who claim not to be Trump supporters (yet never seem to start up threads about the awful things he does or says and prefer to keep quiet/defend him) voted for him as they knew the importance of filling that SCOTUS seat the Republicans stole from Obama. They've even managed to get another one pushed through.
Yet another far-right SCOTUS would be irredeemably bad news for your country.

To some here, Trump's election was only so that he could put judges in the Supreme Court.

For what its worth I think Scalia should have stepped down before he had his heart attack. I'm sure similar reasons kept him on the bench.

Originally posted by EvoUK View PostOh yes, as i mentioned in my initial reply, it was very much the ends justifies the means. It's also why they're mostly looking the other way during his presidency, other than the minority who actually like how he behaves, but then they're just deplorable...
They've won a lot of lasting influence for their political ideology during this presidency.

And yes, I would like to see another conservative in SCOTUS. It has been dominated by liberals for long enough. That is why our country is in such a mess today.
And this is why Trump is so happy about maintaining the majority in the senate (not because Ginsburg got hurt, but because it means there is more opportunity to get more conservative judges out there and in the supreme court)
And he is not appointing "FAR RIGHT" justices. These are average middle of the road conservatives. They are not radicals or alt-right.
