I’ve said here before that the business issues are really what's in play in a meaningful way. The major civil rights issues have been decided and won't be undone.

Ginsburg dying six weeks before the election Trump is expected to lose and replaced by Amy Barrett is hubris and tragedy of Shakespearian proportions. This will be her dominant legacy.

In a way, the liberals deserve this. When a scotus justice becomes a celebrity and cult hero to the point she believes she’s irreplaceable that’s when karma bites.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post

When will karma step in for all the things McConnell and Graham pontificated about when they backburnered Garland? The evening of November 3 would be nice, but I'm not counting on it.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment

I'm using the legal categories so people know what I'm talking about. Strictly speaking, from a lawyer's perspective, the interests of individuals against businesses are only civil rights issues with respect to government's abridgment of businesses' liberties or property interests. Maybe healthcare or consumers' civil claims ought to be seen as civil rights issues, but in our tradition they aren't because they involve conflicts between private interests.Originally posted by Now who’s the dean?

I’m not a lawyer, but that doesn’t seem like a particularly useful distinction. Slavery involved conflicts between private interests. And who was allowed to have private interests. And what can be property. It just sounds a lot like you’re saying we shouldn’t worry about civil rights issues because all that’s been handled. Even if we assume equal protection for all is handled (it isn’t) there are plenty of 2nd amendment, access to medicine, right to die, environmental restriction, etc issues that seem pretty civil righty.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment

The fact that playing politics wasn't on her radar, is a good thing. Supreme Court justices are supposed to be above politics. That supreme court appointmentees have become nothing more than political pawns is one of reasons our democracy has become a smoldering pile of shit. You don't get it.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"The mind is not a boomerang. If you throw it too far it will not come back." ~ Tom McGuaneComment

Think about it. This is like something out of Herodotus or a Greek tragedy. She lived over 87 years. 11 with pancreatic cancer. And fell six weeks short. She lived almost 4,500 weeks, and died six weeks too early. Maybe just 2 or three weeks too early. That would not have left enough time. She will be remembered primarily for that.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
