No! But as a I stated she probably would have nominated a moderate judge who more than likey would be confirmed.
Like Garland ?
who would not have been a friend to black folks looking at his record

Trump is spineless, .
And Mitch would have had to obstruct for 5 years......Hillary would have folded and got some center right judge just like she is center right..
It absolutely was not bullshit. There are a plethora of major cases where he voted with the left. Conservatives hated him over that shit because he wasn't a reliable conservative vote. He started moving towards the middle.
Ok.... everybody saw how the court voted in that Texas redistricting case a few days ago, right? ...and that was WITH Kennedy... so if/when trump puts a solidly conservative justice on the court along the lines of a younger and whiter (if possible) clarence thomas, that court will be even more fucked.
Right now, because of that decision, the courts will have to assume that states (former jim crow states that were restricted by what used to be the voting rights act) are re-drawing voting districts in good faith and NOT to minimize the black vote, when we know for damn sure that they are doing TO minimize the black vote. First the voting rights act was gutted, and now they have outright permission to fuck us over every 10 years by taking a pen to the map.
Anybody who said that trump is no worse than clinton, voting doesn't matter.... this is why he is worse and it does matter.
Garland is a better choice than who Trump is about to nominate.Like Garland ?

Not a plethora. You're basing your opinion of about five major cases where Kennedy sided with the Progressives on the Court.
Truth is Kennedy has voted 84% of the time with the Court's Conservative Wing.
Garland is a better choice than who Trump is about to nominate.
The guy is destroying institutions, relationships, shitting on FBI, CIA, throwing candy at presidential allies, starting trade wars with partners, kidnapping children, openly defending white supremacist, stocking his inner circle with racists.... and BGOL says hes spineless.
Trump has been the most conservative president in modern history. Spineless? Yall still don't get this dude. He's using real fucking children as leverage and yall talking about he's "spineless". Trump is political ruthless.
Hillary would have won the election yet nominated a Republican as soon as she won? LMBAOOOOOO
why not ? what would stop them ?

A fucking sociopath.Shit amazes me. Dude is literally caging children and parading them as leverage to pass legislation. And he signs a fake executive order to calm down the media and continues the same policy and uses it as leverage to make the parents withdraw their asylum cases to get their kids back!
He's spinless though.
I said a moderate would get confirmed if Clinton would have won the Presidency. I'm not sure what you are saying or trying to say.That wasn't the question. You said a moderate would get confirmed.
Garland was moderate..
Public pressure and a lawsuit that would be sure to follow. The Supreme Court would hear the case and even the most Conservative Judges would uphold Constitution language that requires the President nominate and the Senate to confirms or reject.
at this point i am beginning to understand that as people are alluding to there is a machine behind trump that is clearly playing chess while we are arguing over checkers. and it is more than the russians.
A fucking sociopath.

.He could give less than a fuck about Immigration....
That's the definition of a swing voter in this environment. Voting against your party in major cases. Gorsuch, for instance, will always reliably vote along party lines and that could be the difference between you and I having a basic right.
Gorsuch will never vote with a Progressive. So those "major" cases won't go to the left and those "major" cases tend to dispassionately impact us.
people still don't see the big picture here.
both of these next two major elections 2018 and 2020 are going to have results that will go to the supreme court like the elections of 2000.
the deck is being stacked in the courts so that if the results do reach the court the result is already predetermined.

Dude is a spoiled kid in an old mans body...
Shit it really don't take much to see there's a machine behind Trump.
No, that's YOUR definition. Point is Kennedy voted with the conservative bloc 84% of the time..
He's a man-child...but he's not spineless. His record in the legal system is a clear indication of that. Trump is ruthless... he's very much been trained that way by Roy Cohn. Don't confuse malleable with spineless. He's malleable in that if you can convince him that something is better for HIM or his ego, you can get him to pivot a position. However, if he's locked in, he digs all the way in.
I agree.....if i knew that word I would have used it instead of spineless.......
the common media narrative is that he is flying blind and just doing shit.
that is clearly not the case. and most people do not see that.
Obama didn’t carei am sure that if obama had known what was going to happen here he would have forced his pick through.
C'mon dude, really??? Believe it or not a certain understandings are inherent in interpreting Constitutional language. For example, there is no specific language allowing a woman to be Presidentwhat language requires 9 judges ?
I remember this pic but it wasnt this oneWhat i tell you two years ago....
It's not my definition. It's the definition. You're citing numbers. Numbers don't mean shit. It's the decisive issues. A swing voter for conservatives is one who doesn't vote along party lines on major issues. On social issues, he repeatedly broke away from conservatives. Name an issue for conservatives bigger than ABORTION???
"Kennedy has been a disappointment to the right, which has been unable to forgive his vote to uphold the basic underpinnings of Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a woman’s right to choose an abortion. And Kennedy has written each of the court’s major gay rights decision, including Obergefell v. Hodges, which said the Constitution requires that gay couples be allowed to marry."
