Absurd Alhazred posted:Can the Senate really block Obama's appointee to the point where it becomes irrelevant due to the next elections? The question is what would stop them? The only possible reason Republicans in the Senate would have to move is that there are enough Republicans in vulnerable seats in 2016 that the total kneejerk opposition will be politically damaging enough to them to bring them around eventually. On the other hand, the Roberts court has so strongly embraced right-wing judicial activism, which is hugely important to a party establishment that knows it will never pass most of its agenda democratically, that Republicans will be absolutely loathe to give up control of the court.

Abu Dave posted:As someone who doesn't pay attention to american politics can someone tell me why this old white man was hated so much Reactionary Supreme Court justice who in his dotage started sounding more and more like a Fox News talking head. Notable for his seemingly very personal animus against gay people and his willingness to shameless shred even his own precedents to give the GOP what it wanted.
