    Point taken. You got one right.

    Today is that day!

    I'm sure it was an aberration.

    That doesn't change the fact that THIS Impeached President picked two right wing Justices and is poised for a third

    And make no mistake...the Court TRUMP has remade...will over turn Roe v Wade and end Obamacare.

    Both of you are missing the point. I have no doubt of her genuine affection for Scalia as a person. But if Scalia was nominated as the tie breaking vote, I also have no doubt she should oppose him on ideological grounds to keep the court liberal. No doubt at all.

    Clinton appointee RBG as well.

    Yes Obamacare is done the Circuit. Court got it right.

    Roe was overturned years ago the controlling case is Planned Parenthood v Casey. Trump’s judges follow the law

    Abortion isn't going anywhere. Liberals use the abortion scare tactic to get left-wing judges on the courts for all their other agenda issues, especially legalizing illegal aliens.

    You didn't mention Impeached President Bill Clinton appointing 2 SC Justices. Do we need to realize that as well? If not, then what's your point?

    Ginsberg is gone and the other appointment was noted.

    None of that changes the fact that the Court is being fundamentally CHANGED...by an Impeached President and it WILL over turn Roe and end Obamacare

    Nonsense. Trump will appoint a Justice who is ardently anti-abortion.

    We've been heating that abortion and Obamacare are not under attack...and WATCHING those very attacks by Republicans.

    This is not a "scare tactic". It's reality

    ~ Roe / Wade may be modified to strengthen the elimination of late term abortion. It will not be overturned .

    More nonsense. The court has very little if anything to do with that issue

    As has abortion rights

    Americans United for Life issued a press release urging Trump to choose Amy Coney Barrett, a 48-year-old judge on the Seventh Circuit federal appellate court. The group said it was “confident” Barrett would “prove herself a trusted caretaker of the Constitutional protections extended to every human person in America, including human lives in the womb.”

    Her youth is a "concern".

    She'll be on the Court for a generation

    All true, yet the hypocrisy of the right remains very blatant on this issue. The Democrats need to stop whining and start working on ways to counter this, if that's even possible. It would be great if, for once, cooler heads would prevail.

    You vote for electors. This is a Republic not a Democracy. It is not majority rules all the time. 3 or 4 states do not dictate what the rest of the country does. I suggest you read Article ll Section 1 of the Constitution and it will explain to you.

    You were the one that was wrong and here you are being snarky and inferring that the person that was right is somehow wrong. Avoid the truth at all costs? That's rich.

    It's called schadenfreude. An excellent word:

    Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdə/; German: [ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔʏ̯də] ( listen); lit. 'harm-joy') is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another.

    It's from the German language, a compound of Schaden, "damage, harm", and Freude, "joy".
