Scalia's death has changed my opinion, we must elect a democrat.

1. You were thinking about voting republican?

[JRLeft]

4. No, I was leaning Clinton but considering 3rd party.

If she were the nominee.

[Matariki]

6. You mean if she *wasn't* the nominee?

[JRLeft]

8. If she was, I was leaning Clinton over the 3rd party candidate.

2. or even a Democrat Socialist

IMO

3. Can you expand a little bit?

What was your opinion before and what's your opinion now?

5. Throws the spotlight back to discussion of SCOTUS appointments.

Forces Democrats to vote with their heads and not with their hearts. Those romanticized notions of revolution must now be placed on the back burner.

7. Bullshit eom.

[Joe the Revelator]

9. LOL! That's some fast spin.

[oasis]

11. No spin.There will be no Obama replacement of Scalia.

The GOP senate will block all nominees. The next president will be appointing at least 3 justices.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. I don't know about that. I can't find any precedent for an 11 month vacancy on the SCOTUS

The Republicans would do that at their own peril.

[oasis]

13. No precedent for this ideologically transfixed GOP congress. They will

justify their actions to their constituents. It will all hinge on who the nation elects in November.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. They do so to their detriment. I think you can move the nominee to be more moderate, but the seat

will be filled.

[oasis]

16. As Rachel Maddow would say "check back to this space"

[JRLeft]

10. Bernie is still more electable, but with the SC in play now I will work

to get her elected if she's the nominee. I still don't like her but I know her SC choice would be solid.

14. Thank you. Hopefully more voters will be so pragmatic. K & R nt
