Fucking forced into some accelerationist timeline. Time to find out what Obama could have done with control of all three branches of government if he actually wanted change.
Obama could have simply never kowtowed to the GOP when that one justice needed to be replaced (I forgot who), and if RBG wasn’t so pig-headed there could have been a 5-4 court in dems favor.
No doubt Thomas and Alito are going to retire, they’re evil not stupid.
It was Merrick Garland, and he did, Newt didn't care because denying the judge was the point. The Dems could have forced it through anyway but refused because 'they go low we go high" and "it would mean the repubs can do it later"

I can't wait for the ensuing liberal screeds when I point out that Obama could've prevented at least some of the past and future damage done by Trump.

you terminally online leftists simply don't understand. the democratic super majority was right wing at the time.
"Ah yes! How could I forget! Just like when LBJ couldn't get the Civil Rights Act passed!"
That Supreme Court justice nomination that was stolen by McConnell
seat a justice and then dare that slushy-faced fuck to do something about it
Yeah you've got it. Stop letting them get away with it.
