      Yeah, out of everything, his Supreme Court nominations are the longest lasting. They will outlive him and be a lasting influence for most of our lives. Every unconstitutional thing Republicans want to do will be handed to them by the SC. So long for checks and balances.

          Of course, which is the risk for at least Sotomayor this term. If Trump gets 3 more nominations, it could be possible that he’d be able to have 6 justices with an average age in their 50s, with plenty of time to continue the chaos.

            In literally any other country, a criminal president getting to appoint six of nine judges to the highest court would rightfully be called corrupt and unethical.

            In the US, 🤷.
