You're absolutely right, and what has them so upset is that the courts are going back to being courts. It is going to be much more difficult to play "law by lawsuit" in the future. This is perhaps the most important and most positive outcome of the midterms.BleachedAnusDawg said:
AKA, legislating through the courts, which is what Democrats at the local levels of government have been doing for decades.RaceBannon said:https://foxnews.com/opinion/yes-democrats-have-won-the-house-but-behind-pelosis-soaring-rhetoric-is-this-harsh-political-reality
And yet even as Capitol Hill has weakened itself, the Senate has retained one critical function: confirming those many judicial nominees who rule on those many partisan lawsuits. From the Supreme Court to the federal circuit courts, America’s senators are choosing the elite group that has dictated and will continue to dictate the nation’s future.
None of this is to say the House is wholly without power. Democrats will almost certainly use their majority to launch investigations of Trump and the Republicans, or even start impeachment talks against the president.
But make no mistake, governing power now sits in the Senate vis-a-vis the judiciary.
Unfortunately for the Democrats, that’s incredibly bad news. On Tuesday, Republicans added to their once-slim Senate majority with what will likely be five new seats when the final votes are counted.
Make no mistake, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky will put that additional firepower to work. He and his colleagues have already confirmed Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court bench, with a clear eye on replacing the aging Justices Ginsburg and Breyer.
Additionally, Republicans will continue adding to the already impressive 29 circuit court judges confirmed during Trump’s first two years. That’s a record for any modern president.
Smart Democrats are bitterly aware of this development, with the minority recently lashing out at McConnell for pushing through judicial nominees while the Senate was technically in recess.
Me - this is not good for the country long term regardless.

Yes, republican senators will continue to confirm judges that weaken civil rights, women’s rights, voting rights, and other protections because of their backward judicial philosophy.RaceBannon said:https://foxnews.com/opinion/yes-democrats-have-won-the-house-but-behind-pelosis-soaring-rhetoric-is-this-harsh-political-reality

What the hell, I guess it’s ok if states want to reduce the amount of polling places in highly populated minority neighborhoods, or turn native Americans away from the polls because they don’t have “the right ID,” or not allow Spanish speaking voters to bring an interpreter (which actually happened even though it’s allowed under the law).
Something to be really proud of. -

If RBG or Breyer croak between now and the next election they could replace them as well, Maybe Cruz would take a seat on the SC. He has to see that he is never going to be a loved politician and I like the guy.
