    She was just a PR ploy because a bunch of stubborn old white guys questioning a distraught woman plays poorly. Like all things though, they quickly tired of the training wheels and having someone in their way. Lindsey Graham had to get on stage and win his academy award for faking outrage for unspecified reasons after all.

    You guys I’m starting to think these lifetime appointments may not be a great idea

    I strenuously disagree, I think it's one of the best parts of the Supreme Court.

    Apart from the sideshow currently going on, it's a terrific institution.

    Lifetime appointments work great if the rest of the system worked as designed, but it is most definitely not working as designed.

    That alone makes it not a terrific institution.

    They were lifetime appointments in an age people lived to the ripe old age of 50. It's outdated.

    Pay no attention to the shitshow behind the curtain, and all around it~


    Lifelong appointments are another relic of the past in this country which needs to be reshaped. You don't want someone on the bench whose thinking was shaped decades ago because people live much longer now than when the idea was put forth.

    There is obviously more than one way (lifelong appointments) to ensure the integrity of the judiciary branch.

    No, it isn't. I mean, I think I get what your frame is here but bear in mind you have to be 35 to be eligible to run for President. That age was set when most people didn't live into their 50s-60s. A lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court was meant to preserve judicial control of the executive branch within generations, not across them.

    The very reason we have the problems we have now are because the forefathers lacked foresight to know that we would eventually live long enough to where lack of term limits would be damaging to our democracy. I mean, Washington knew that political parties were divisive. Look at this shit we have now. Now it's not about who's best for the job. It's about stacking the deck in your favor as much as you can.

    The GOP right now doesn't give a shit who gets in, they just want someone in. They want someone who can give them a "win" so that they keep their seats and keep their agenda. That's all this is. It's a show.

    Holy smokes do I need to spell out everything?

    I wasn’t being serious. That one was so clearly over the top.

    Edit: from now on for the benefit of people who can’t tell I’ll make sure to include a /s even when I make statements like “I am the Queen of the Universe. /s”

    I will also start using the word literally when I want an action to be taken.

    Spontaneous would be if I said that out of nowhere. Past few comments were debating lifetime appointments. I am confused how you think I invoked the statement without any premeditation.
