People on both sides who voted for someone because of the supreme court always strike me as those who don't really get the supreme court In what way do you mean? If RBG dies and Kennedy retires within the next 3.5 years or so, which is hardly far-fetched, then conservatives will probably control the Supreme Court for 15-20 years at a minimum. If Trump gets two terms, that increases the likelihood that he might get the chance to replace Breyer, and the court could become 7-2 conservatives to liberals. That seems enormously important to me. --- Liberal Arrogance:Academics are overwhelmingly liberal because the nature of the job, seeking information for the good of humanity, self selects liberals--COVxy <cite>Callixtus posted [p:886800798] in I voted fo...

Mainly because while they all lean towards one side or the other, more telling in their votes are where they line up on the libertarian v authoritarian scale Considering both Trump and Clinton leaned on the authoritarian side of things, we were screwed either way Not to mention that there have been a few times a judge ends up changing their political opinion as they age --- There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD http://error1355.com/ce/Hinakuluiau.html <cite>Hinakuluiau posted [p:886801105] in I voted fo...

And I think it'd be hard to argue that conservative appointees won't be more hostile to certain liberal sacred cows like abortion rights.

He only needs two of the following 3: Ginsburg dying, Kennedy retiring, or Breyer retiring in the next 3.5 years.
