No, I like Roe v Wade.
Working on it....
Don't count your chickens before they hatch dear. You'll get Scalia's seat - assuming the Dems don't act the way you guys did and prevent a duly elected president from fulfilling his job (you remember that right?).
But, it's not simple majority rules - you might be forced to float more moderate candidates in order to avoid fillibusters. Ginsberg is a tough old bird. There is a midterm in two years and those traditionally favor the out-of power side. Trump's initial actions are already disturbing - his cabinet choices, lack of diversity in opinion/position (ie primarily sycophants)...promises made that are going to be incredibly difficult to keep because of the complex nature of the things he wants to "undo". The effects on the economy remain to be seen.
Enjoy your win, but you have a huge challenge ahead to keep what you won. I've stocked up on popcorn

I remember Reid and the "nuclear option." Paybacks are a *****.

Yup. Be careful there. You guys have set a lot of disturbing precedents, not the least of which was preventing a duly elected president from fulfilling his duty. Don't want to add one more that can come back to haunt you.
McConnel and others realize this. Most likely - given the volatility of the political atmosphere - they would float something decidedly conservative but not a complete whacko activist.
Landslide....tempered by one annoying fact...he still lost the popular vote.
Typo....

Democrats drew first blood. GOP is dominate political force in this nation. Dems will not gain back House or Senate for a long, long, time.I remember Reid and the "nuclear option." Paybacks are a *****.

It's only a "landslide" if a Democrat wins.

A bit iffy. And I keep going back to the popular vote on this (not disputing Trump's win - that is clear) - but it is indicative of a pretty deep divide. An overreach could be problematic on your side, and it will be reflected in the midterms.
Remind me - which Democrat won a landslide and lost the popular vote?

So you're willing to concede that Clinton's wins were the biggest landslides in the last 30 years?

Remind me - when did the Constitution change and start considering the "popular vote"?
Trump kicked ass in the ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
End of story.

No they did not. Trump said it was rigged, in his favor I guess.
