Remember when President Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Remember when President Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

If only a Clinton had been allowed to nominate the next Supreme Court justice.

Sad so many believed Hillary was just as bad as Trump. Now our highest court will be cemented with conservative rule for decades to come.

3rd party voters were warned. Elections have consequences.




The Supreme Court does *NOT* represent the majority of Americans.



The Clintons deserve far more credit than they are given.

Many things need to change, more justices and justices should have to be 60 and only serve 10 years, no more lifetime appointments. Prez has less power and can be gotten rid of with a vote of no confidence to start.

It has to be done somehow to save the country. There are too many flaws in the whole gov system. I think we could get 38.

in their favor. Disenfranchising voters. Scaring and exporting the Hispanic population. God only knows what Russia is doing.
We have done NOTHING to protect our voting system since that last election.

If enough people vote, they can’t intimidate everyone and hack every vote. In my district a dem is neck and neck with the r congressman which is shocking.

this is why they have come to support Kavanaugh so strongly. he was one of them.

i'm just thinking of all the so called rage filled (usually white males) that still attack hillary and other women in fucked up ways.

these are not liberals although they will claim to be and to be more liberal than what they view as the elitists they feel control the party(meaning black women).
