Oh stop with the hysteria! I know how on edge a lot of solid right wingers are right now but let's not lose our heads!

To make the sweeping necessary changes we need in the courts, we need a 6-3 or 7-2 SCOTUS make up. I'm sorry but no SCOTUS with a 5-4 has ever been much more than a place holder court being all mamby pamby and wishy washy.

The fact is, we need Trump so that we can get to the point were we can make those sweeping changes.

Perspective is important. Knowing limits is important.

In the recent past that's been true since the 1980's when Reagan put Sandra Day O'Connor on the bench, we've had a 5-4 split the entire time. That won't hold if we get another Trump term and get 6-3 or 7-2. Especially if we can impeach Roberts over the FISC violations.
