What makes me nervous is the pre-stacked supreme court. This has been a months-long strategy beginning with neutering and disabling of the USPS, attacking the validity of mail-in ballots, and rushing a friendly candidate to the highest court.
- Matticus_Rex 6y agoThe Supreme Court is not a political rubber stamp for their party, as Gorsuch and even Kavanaugh have shown. They've never been that, and the idea that they'd become that for Donald Trump seems pretty implausible. They rule on questions of law, and they rule based on their legal philosophies. Yes, you see the reasoning look a bit motivated sometimes (looking at you, Alito and Breyer), but the idea that these are people who will throw away their credibility and careers to abet a coup? Naaaah. They'd have a hard enough time going after gay marriage -- I'd bet Gorsuch and Kavanaugh would vote to uphold Obergefell today if they heard it, and we already know Roberts' vote.
