Obama?
Right, I'm a psycho and always will be but I'm also someone who knows what the fuck he's talking about - sometimes.

Not that YOU care but let me help those who may and might not understand.
Obama should not have simply talked to RBG when he met with her early in his first term. During his Presidency he could have basically "demanded" to her that she step down. Not saying she would have complied but I do believe if enough people were to meet with her and explain to her the importance - she may have conceded.
HE could have then appointed another "liberal" judge who would still be on the court and therefore - we wouldn't have ACB as a Justice.
Pretty fucking simple logic. Right?

The hindsight is that this was a known strong possibility. Not that ACB would be nominated and appointed but that RBG probably wouldn't be on the court anymore during a 2016-2020 Presidential term.twocoach wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:27 pmThe ultimate "in hindsight".Grandma wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 11:43 amRight, I'm a psycho and always will be but I'm also someone who knows what the fuck he's talking about - sometimes.

Or that it's not the job of the President to be talking Supreme Court Justices into stepping down.Grandma wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:38 pmThe hindsight is that this was a known strong possibility.

My guess is Obama and company believed Hillary was NOT going to lose and if so, that ended up being a HUGE mistake on their part.
I agree.ousdahl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:46 pm I think that’s true.
But the point is, asking RBG to step down would have been just another chapter in the politicizing of the Supreme Court.
Sure, it would be a serviceable fix in the moment, given the circumstances. But the real change we need is to get away from that shit — bring back supermajority votes, and get both sides to work together for we the people
