Would you trade Impeachment for Supreme Court vote?

[KittyWampus]

just a thought experiment.

1. I want both, but if I had to choose the more important thing

the SC is it.

Pence would choose someone just as bad.

IN the end, our elected Dems will likely back down on both though, given their desire to "keep that powder dry"
.

2. No, Twitler is out in 4, if he lasts that long

His nominee is 49. He could spend the next 25 years screwing us.

3. No - his judge(s) could last 40 years! One reason it was such a hot election cause for so many.

4. No.

Impeachment is going to happen.
SCOTUS is permanent damage.

[Sanity Claws]

5. No

Hold out for both.

6. Supreme Court justices are appointed for life.

Trump is outta there in four years, max; probably less. On the other hand, a Supreme Court justice can't start WWIII or appoint more right-wing justices or issue deranged executive orders. Trump can probably do more damage in a few months than a SC justice can do in an entire career.

9. Your post is what entered my mind. More possible damage in a few days with Bannon/Trump

who could drop a nuke somewheres or start war with China.

We could wait out until another conservative buzzard drops off the court... maybe even appoint a few more justices to even things out.

But I honestly don't know which I'd pick. Generally I'm a know-it-all type.

7. I want both

But I would choose the Supreme Court vote. That will have an impact for decades. I am trying to hold onto hope that we can limit the damage inflicted by Trump.

8. No.

10. Impeachment is more important

Trump is going to destroy the country. The Supreme Court Justice is replacing a conservative so it won't make a huge difference for this appointment. Trump needs to go for the good of the United States. Country first.
