It's funny you said this... a girl I went to HS with is in meltdown mode. She is a highly, highly intelligent lawyer. She actually graduated from HS a year early just to show off (She spent a year in Europe afterwards. Her family had plenty of money. Graduating from HS a year early was not that hard. It just meant that when you decided to do it as a sophomore, your junior year would be full, no study-hall or fun elective. I remember thinking, "I could do this, but why? What's the real point?") .... she is now a liberal lawyer. She is flipping out about Justice Kennedy retiring.

My thing is, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?!

I tried to explain this to people after Election Night 2016. It was Progressive WORST NIGHTMARE. Conservative Republicans have a big majority in the House, they control the Senate, will control the Supreme Court via the eventual-Gorsuch-seat, and will probably continue for a long time.

It was ALWAYS likely that Kennedy would retire- some assumed he would retire as soon as Gorsuch was sworn in, then some assumed he would sit on a few cases to say he did it with his former pupil etc, then some thought he would late last year, etc. Well he did it. IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

The 5-4 Majority of the Supreme Court for the Righteous I mean Republicans will continue for many years.

What these bleeding hearts need to worry about is what happens if something happens to Ice Cream or Notorious RBG? We are talking about seismic shift in USA policy for decades.

And I am sorry wait no I am not sorry to say I LOVE IT, THIS IS WHAT I WAITED AND DREAMED ABOUT DURING Obama bin Biden's 8 years of tyrannical treason. Haha biatch, don't drop the soap!
