Liberals don't want to follow the law and the constitution, while conservatives justices are the only ones left who do.
Leftists think that whatever pet ideology they have is good is the same thing as good law, when it's not.

Just look at the recent gun cases the Supreme Court has handled. The leftist judges actually VOTED AGAINST the Constitutional and Human Natural Rights of Americans. And it was only the remaining and dominant Conservative justices being the majority that stopped their Leftist Fascism against the people.

As to "term limits"... I'm very much for them in ALL political and government positions.
It would greatly help eliminate corruption, and abuse of power.
As an example, no elected or government official should be allowed to serve more than two 4 year terms together, and then they must leave.
They CAN come back and serve if they are really wanted, and as many times as wanted, but they must not serve for one term, and can only serve for two consecutive terms. This is how it should be for President, the Supreme Court, or any Federal Government position.
This country is being corrupted because liberals are gaining more and more power and are using and abusing that power in ways that this country was not founded on. If officials are held accountable by the people more, this corruption and abuse of power would occur much less.

I actually doubt that in this case. I think this is attempting to project fairness through false balance.


Are you suggesting the republicans would still say to wait and the democrats to go forward before the election?

The only reason it's phallic shaped is because it's important to understand your audience.

And I believe that most people understand that faqs is an adult who thinks like a child.

But sure... go on with your pedophilia crap. I'm not worried about the opinion of those who would take you seriously.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I'm saying the Democrats likely wouldn't have refused to hear any and all nominations if a Republican was president and a liberal justice died in February of an election year. Maybe now, but not before the Republicans took their obstructionism to this arena.
