Justice Scalia found dead.

[MARIS61]

There's nothing democratic about a government where figureheads are elected to run a government of many many unelected officials with ridiculous powers.

And by "elected" I'm sure you don't mean by popular vote of the people.

 

[MARIS61]

I'm not really buying your theory that everyone who doesn't vote agrees with you. You'll need to provide some evidence for that position.

To bring this back to the subject matter, polls (opinion polls, I mean) suggest that the majority of the population agrees more with the 'liberal' justices rather than Scalia.

A Majority of Voters have packed Congress with a Republican Majority of seats to show their absolute disgust in Obama's policies, Executive overreaches, backdoor deals, illegal gunrunning to drug cartels, refusal to enforce immigration laws, attempts to finish off the struggling middle class, attacks on The Constitution, invasion of privacy of all Americans...

A Majority of voters. So fuck your polls.

Unless they don't vote this time, they will add President Trump to their stable. Then they will select a Judge or 2, or maybe 3.

Facts, with unsubstantiated assertions.

Just because you post a photo of a rabbit, that does not mean Obama is Satan. The former does not imply the latter.

No, actually I'm not the only one.

Describe an amendment that you think would get the necessary 2/3rds vote in both houses, plus 3/4ths of the states.

I don't think you'll be able to come up with anything that isn't utterly trivial.

Your problem is there are no proposed Amendments to The Constitution that are worthy of consideration.

Not a single one that a majority of Americans believe is needed.

We've got a pretty excellent system, it's just that we fell to a coup by the MIC back in 1963 and we need someone to round the buggers up and prosecute them and their offspring.

Ok. I'm man enough to admit I was wrong.

But that's only about a quarter of the eligible voters. The other 75% agree with me.

I mean by vote of any kind by the public.

I don't claim republicans have a mandate. Nor am I the fool that bought into "never let a good crisis go to waste." That was Obama's chief of staff explaining how they should use the financial crisis (and make it worse) to ram unpopular left wing policies down our throats.

Scalia was hunting with some spin off the illuminati when he died...

Boy, I just don't follow this conspiracy theorist stuff much, but you have to admit, this is kind of weird.
