Bonds has a lot to answer for. Like, htf I’m aware this is a baseball analogy, htf do I know who Bonds is. In fact, htf do I know who Gorsuch is. Bah. I should stick to my own political backyard.
You guys should stop ‘appointing’ supreme court judges. Why on earth would you want partisan supreme court judges anyway. Uh. Let me refer myself to my last paragraph’s last statement.
No, no asterisk. This little power play will be forgotten. But the comity of the system becomes more frayed every time the argument is reduced to “might makes right.” Plato struggled with this question. Ultimately, the European Enlightement put the human species onto an evidence-based trajectory that made certain idealistic concepts paramount—even though impossible to achieve (Liberty, honesty, justice, respect for fact, etc.) These ideals are now under relentless attack. Trump and the republicans HAVE no real set of coherent evidence-based principles, so they don’t really care about having higher ideals guide decision making. It’s just that craven.
No one will forget how the Republican congress denied Obama a Supreme Court justice nominee an up or down vote, then changed the rules to the McConnell rule – only needing 51 votes for a Supreme court justice who couldn’t get the required votes. We won’t be able to do anything, but just like Clarence Thomas’ sexual assault, we won’t forget the kinds of judges the Republicans nominate and how they cheat to get them.

The dreaded “asterisk”. Marked for life as a pretend SCOTUS Justice, much like our pretend “president”.

Considering his record we can see that those 5 to 4 losses will be coming and soon.
