A choice of evils

Imagine an atheist forced to choose between Muslim and Christian rule in 12th Century Jerusalem.

Well, this choice, though still among evil fantasies, is much easier.

Go with RBG and the girls.

Leave Scalia’s Chair Vacant

What kind of Supreme Court do the American people wish to have? 

That is a question to be decided in 2016 — not by a lame-duck president, but by the American electorate in November.

Does the nation want an activist judiciary to remake America into a more liberal society, as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor would like to see it remade?

Or do the American people want a more constitutional court that returns power to the people and their elected representatives?

Let’s have it out.

A lame duck president is still the president and the expression, by the way, was only used to refer to Congress and then to politicians whose successors had already been elected until Republicans saw they could use it to delegitimize the power of a Democratic president during his entire last year of an 8 year term.

Why not his entire second term, come to that?

Yes, as I recall, the GOP did try that line right away when O won in 2012.

And forced to choose between a lying feminist Democrat mad for PC on the one side and a Lochner loving lunatic out to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and economic regulation to protect ordinary folks and the public on the other, it's an easy call, for me.
