<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nChuck Schumer<\/a> and Chris Matthews<\/a> agree that the GOP Senate should wait until after the midterm Congressional elections to name a replacement. Somehow, that would be “revenge” for the Left’s loss of Merrick Garland as a nominee to the USSC in 2016.<\/p>\n But the New York Times<\/a> editorial board, leading the way to Crazytown, says “what’s the point, all is lost”;<\/p>\n It is a dark moment in the history of the court and the nation, and it\u2019s about to get a lot darker. Once President Trump names his second pick and the Senate confirms that person, you can forget about new or enhanced protections for gays and lesbians, or saving the last shreds of affirmative action at public universities. Longstanding precedents are now at extreme risk. Foremost among these is a woman\u2019s right to choose to have an abortion under Roe v. Wade, which was preserved solely on the strength of Justice Kennedy\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, count on more rulings that, like Monday\u2019s decision upholding racial gerrymandering in Texas, give states the green light to cut back on voting rights, promote the rights of corporations over individuals, further erode the wall between church and state and look the other way when states cut corners and evade constitutional requirements in order to execute their citizens.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, the editorial board thinks that more voters in the midterms is the answer;<\/p>\n Do not for a moment underestimate the importance of getting out and voting in November. Four years ago, only 36 percent of Americans cast ballots in the midterm elections. Had more people showed up, the Senate may well have remained in Democratic control, Mitch McConnell would not be the majority leader and Judge Merrick Garland would now be Justice Garland. In the days and months ahead, remember this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, and fewer voters would have resulted in different results in the November 2016 election.<\/p>\n The board has good reason to worry – I understand that the fix is in;<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/The-fix-300x114.jpg\")
