    She*, and she stole a real (straight, married, with children) man’s identity to use as hypothetical. The whole thing should be absolutely thrown out by a higher court - the court of the people.

    Also, what happens if a scotus judge is assassinated? Like for real, what if a terrorist straight up murders one? If it’s the president, the vice president takes over, and if them… There’s like a power list for that. But, what about a scotus? Does the standing president just get to pick one again? Or is there a list of rank? Or is it like monarchy where the judge has a written will or a say over who replaces them? Goddamn; why do we even have this shitty system.

      Thanks, fixed.

      Scotus judges won’t be assassinated because the violent terrorists support them.

      While I don’t believe there has ever been a SC Judge assassinated, all vacancies are to be filled by the President and approved by the Senate.

        More realistically though, the wealthiest Republican party donors pick the SC, and have been doing so for the better part of the last few decades now.

        Nobody else has a real say, and whenever somebody attempts to regain control for the people, the propaganda machine starts a’hummin’, and we all start going at each other’s throats again.
