Enticing the GOP to go nuclear just gave the GOP a "golden ticket" for the next nominee. It seems like the democrats are hedging their bet that Ginsburg is alive in 3 1/2 years. Considering she's 84, I'm thinking the law of averages will probably hit her sooner than that. The GOP in essence will control the supreme court for the next 20 years.

This a great point. I think both sides are gambling on this. If she goes the year before the next presidential election the democrats would have actually been in a great position with the filibuster and it would have been a really bad look right before an election for republicans to get rid of it then. Maybe they are playing chess.

the democrats could also take back the senate in 2018 even with the map as it is.

trump's 35% approval is not going up anytime soon

The court was broken even before the Republicans broke precedent and didn't give Garland a hearing.

It's time for direct, non-partisan elections to the bench.

Good if true. Then the travel ban will be enacted and those little activist judges will be rendered impotent.

those conservative judges who broke our democracy by throwing out the voting rights act and 100 years of campaign finance law are in no way "activist"

Shouldn't judges be non partisan and rule by the Constitution rather than by politics?

Ginsburg is revolting, the sooner she croaks the better. I won't be flying any flags at half mast for that bitch.

Why don't you come out and say you hope she'll be murdered?
