An all-American nightmare: Brace for a massive crisis if a 5-4
Supreme Court decides this election
[quote]Wells, more than most, is mindful of the perilousness of
the present moment — and how courts should not be called on to
decide the victor in the contest between Trump and Joe Biden.
The only way to eliminate that threat, in the judge’s view, is
by voting — and doing so in droves.[/quote]
[quote]His campaign strapped for cash, his poll numbers in the
red, and voting enthusiasm through the roof, he sees the writing
on the wall — and the courts as his only saving grace. He more
or less made that intention plain when he said he’d like the
seat of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg filled come
Election Day because his own future “will end up in the Supreme
Court.”[/quote]
[quote]“I think it’s very important that we have nine justices,”
Trump has said. “And I think having a four-four situation is not
a good situation, if you get that,” he added. “I don’t know that
you’d get that. I think it should be eight-nothing or
nine-nothing. But just in case it would be more political than
it should be, I think it’s very important to have a ninth
justice.”[/quote]

They won’t be able to do much about this, says McConnell on
Barrett vote
[quote]‘A lot of what we’ve done over the last four years will
be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won’t be
able to do much about this for a long time to come,’ Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Sunday as the Senate
moved closer to confirming Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney
Barrett.[/quote]

Schumer calls Senate GOP's backing Amy Coney Barrett an
'inerasible stain' as filibuster fails
[quote]Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) spoke
on Oct. 25 after the Senate voted to end the filibuster of Amy
Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination. [/quote]

[quote]even if the Republican Party suffers defeat on Election
Day, it can rest safely in the knowledge that it has fully
remade the federal judiciary in its image. What’s more, the
right-leaning judges the GOP has installed across the nation at
every level, from the Supreme Court to district courts, are
likely to remain on the federal bench for generations.[/quote]
Unless leftists learn to apply the Second Amendment.
[quote]In other words, even if Trump loses, his movement has
already won.[/quote]
Unless leftists learn to apply the Second Amendment.
[quote]Monday night’s confirmation in a 52-48 vote of Federal
Appellate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is the
capstone of those efforts, giving conservatives the 6-3 majority
they have long sought. That confirmation — which comes as both
Trump and many of his allies in the Senate face potential
potential defeat in an election that is just days away —
highlights how effective the Republican takeover of the judicial
branch has been.[/quote]
Only because leftists have failed to apply the Second Amendment.
[quote]“For the first time in more than 80 years, we will have a
true conservative majority on the Supreme Court,” said Mike
Davis, who runs the Article 3 Project, a group that advocates
for conservative justice. Echoing a favorite Trump theme, Davis
hopes that Barrett will “protect everyday Americans from
government overreach and mob rule.”
At 48, Barrett is the youngest judge on the Supreme Court by
nearly a decade. But she is far from the youngest judge Trump
has nominated to the federal judiciary. The youngest of those
judges, Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, is only 33. The average Trump
judge is not only young but white and male. On the appellate
level, he did not appoint a single Black judge.
As the Barrett confirmation moved towards its expected — if
contentious — conclusion on Sunday night, Mitch McConnell, the
Senate majority leader, made a frank acknowledgement of the
political reality at hand. “A lot of what we’ve done over the
last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next
election. They won’t be able to do much about this for a long
time to come,” he said.[/quote]
Except applying the Second Amendment.
[quote]In total, Trump has confirmed 220 judges, including
Barrett. That is more than all of his recent predecessors,
including those who served two terms. And while Trump gets the
ultimate glory for each successful confirmation, McConnell is
the one who quietly sees the process through, working his
special brand of political magic on a pliant president.
“I love the tax bill and a lot of the other things we did,”
McConnell told Politico in 2018 about the administration’s
accomplishments to that time. “But I think lifetime appointments
— not only to the Supreme Court but to the circuit courts — are
the way you have the longest-lasting impact on the
country.”[/quote]
The duration of lifetime appointments can be decided by anyone
willing to apply the Second Amendment.
[quote]Some Democrats want Biden to expand the Supreme Court if
he is elected. He may be able to do so, but that will still
leave the federal appellate and district courts largely as Trump
and McConnell have made them. At least a full quarter of those
judges are there because of Trump. As one conservative writer
noted upon the confirmation of Trump’s 200th judge over the
summer, “there’s pretty much nothing Democrats can do about
it.”[/quote]
Except apply the Second Amendment.
[quote]The judges Trump nominated were carefully vetted by the
Federalist Society and other conservative organizations. While
they are not expected to show fealty to the president directly,
many have ideological convictions that are unlikely to shift
with a new administration.[/quote]
But their ideological convictions can be neutralized by applying
the Second Amendment to their heads.
[quote]Take Back Our Courts found that Trump-appointed judges
are more likely than either judges appointed by other Republican
presidents, or by Democratic presidents, to issue rulings that
make it more difficult to vote.[/quote]
That is why the Second Amendment exists.
[quote]The issue of voting rights could be critical if the Nov.
3 election is contested. But even if it is not, Democrats will
find that their agenda is likely to be challenged by, among
other forces, Republican state attorneys general who can and
will reasonably expect favorable hearings from Trump-appointed
judges. Republican attorneys general frequently sued the Obama
administration over environmental protections and the Affordable
Care Act. Only now, the judiciary is significantly more
favorable to them, and to other potential conservative
litigants, than it was four years ago.
That will be especially true at the appellate, or circuit,
level. The Supreme Court only grants a writ of certiorari to a
minuscule fraction of the thousands of petitions submitted each
year, meaning that most legal battles will have their terminus
at the appellate level. Trump has so thoroughly remade those
circuit courts, that not a single vacancy remains.[/quote]
That is why the Second Amendment exists.
[quote]In a case before the Third Circuit, a New Jersey woman
who alleged sexual discrimination at a Sears outlet had her case
dismissed. The tie-breaking vote on the three-judge panel came
from Peter Joseph Phipps, a Trump appointee.
A similar tiebreaker was cast by another Trump judge, Ryan
Nelson, in a Ninth Circuit ruling regarding immigration. That
decision, in a case known as Ramos v. Wolf, will end temporary
protected status for as many as 300,000 immigrants without
documentation.[/quote]
The undocumented can be directly protected by applying the
Second Amendment.
[quote]With more than 200 judges having been confirmed during
the Trump presidency, conservatives can tolerate the occasional
dissent. The odds, after all, are overwhelmingly in their favor.
Even with the presidential campaign nearing its end and the
coronavirus entering a potentially devastating third wave, Trump
has continued to nominate judges. Currently, there are 37
nominees awaiting confirmation.[/quote]
Applying the Second Amendment to Trump back in 2017 could have
prevented this. But this did not happen. Procrastinating in
applying the Second Amendment only ensures the need for its
application on a larger scale at a later time.

That's just the beginning. Every social justice gain made by the

block, regardless of who the president will be.

If now is not the time to apply the Second Amendment, when?

considered a "social justice" gain.

Agreed. For the average reader: Abortion becomes a non-issue
with state control of reproduction. But, state control of
reproduction cannot be introduced until much of the current
western political class has been removed from power as the
current political climate in the west thrives on ignobility.
Allowing ignoble people to have control over reproduction is
western eugenics!

Ana makes a great point, "Republicans understand how to wield
their power". Democrats do not. Most false-leftists are
spineless and cowardly in the face of evil or strong opposition
to their ideas.
