As I discussed yesterday, the Republicans are going to ram through a Supreme Court justice and thereby violate their own principle in 2016 that the people should choose in an election year. It gets worse, because we have this insane electoral college, and in the past electors have always voted in good faith, but they do not actually have to be selected by the people. If they are selected by the state legislators of heavily gerrymandered states (like my own) that are dominated by Republicans, then even if the people of the state vote for a Democrat for president, the legislatures could take it upon themselves to choose electors who will vote for the Republican candidate. If there is a court challenge, where does it go? To the now heavily skewed Conservative court, who would of course uphold the Republican candidate's argument. If you think this can't happen, know that they are already planning for it. This is it, folks - our democracy is dead. And if we get out in the streets and protest, the heavily-armed thugs on the Republican side will just start shooting us, and the cops won't stop them - we have already seen that. And they will be held up as heroes, like that kid who came to Kenosha just to kill people and will probably get away with it. I don't know what can be done to save us now. The dictatorship starts in November.
