In reply to the discussion: Bernie Is Not The Answer - Sorry [View all]Purrfessor
(1,190 posts)whether the very real possibility of having a Conservative Supreme Court over most, if not all of their working lives is less damaging than a Hillary presidency. If they truly believe Hillary would be worse then they should either sit out the election or vote Republican.
But I can pretty much promise them one thing, a solid liberal Supreme Court will outlast a Hillary Administration, even one of two terms.
If we lose the Supreme Court now to a 6-3 or 7-2 Conservative majority when we are so close to moving it left, the setback could take many decades to recover from.
This should be of major concern to progressives. Should Republicans control all three branches of government beginning with this election, I believe there is a very strong chance McConnell will eliminate the filibuster as a means to pack the SC with highly partisan and politicized justices. Even as much as I might dislike Hillary, that is a chance I am not willing to take.
