I'll take what I can getNot revoking basic rights is not Trump being "determined to protect the rights of all Americans". His team must have a hard time finding anything they can spin positively though.

Wait what the hell is this a joke
Surprisingly great news, of course.

End of the day this one is only replacing one conservative judge with another.It's a good thing, but FADA and SCOTUS nominee are coming, so there will be lots of ways to punish the gays for existing.
Yeah, it seems that the rumour Obama's 2014 executive order could be revoked was instigated by the Trump team to create this bit of "good news" so that we all have someting to celebrate while they will make decision after decision to the detriment of the LGBTQ community.It's a good thing, but FADA and SCOTUS nominee are coming, so there will be lots of ways to punish the gays for existing.
But somebody needs to put Bader-Ginsberg in a protective bubble for the next 4 years.
The Democrats have already said they don't want to fight Trump's first nominee because they have to fight his second nominee.I know that many people wish RBG would have retired during Obama's term, and there may be some merit to that, but the Republicans weren't even willing to confirm a bland centrist like Garland, so there is no way you'd have gotten a replacement for RBG who is of the same persuasion/viewpoint.
I don't understand why they have to appoint a new SCOTUS justice? There are only 45 months until the next presidential election, we should allow the people to be heard.
Well, good news, Senator Feinstein voted against Sessions.Haha, my bad, anyways. I haven't voted for her. She hasn't been up for election since I moved here. I got confused .

I know what you mean, but I think things might have been different replacing RBG than replacing Scalia. Replacing RBG with someone somewhat left-ish would not have fundamentally changed the makeup of the SCOTUS. However, replacing Scalia with a moderate would have. It would have left the court with four bona fide liberals, Kennedy (who has more and more sided with the liberals on things important to conservatives), Roberts (who occasionally throws a bone to the left to protect his legacy), Garland (who probably would have generally sided with the left), and only two bona fide conservatives. I think that explains why the GOP was willing to take a risky bet against confirming Garland in a way that they may not have with RBG.
and is also why they ultimately backed Trump - placing party before country.
To be fair, they do believe that their party's vision is best for the country.

Most of what I saw from people on the right were people upset about his vulgarity. Rarely anything to do with his policy positions.but many/most don't/didn't believe that Trump represented their party's vision.

Seriously, this was actual fake news, and by getting worked up over it before there was confirmation it was real plays exactly into the game they Trump party has been playing all along. Now he gets to look moderate to those in the middle, and the people on the left get to be chicken littles who bought what that "fake news" peddling MSM was selling them.Yeah, it seems that the rumour Obama's 2014 executive order could be revoked was instigated by the Trump team to create this bit of "good news" so that we all have someting to celebrate while they will make decision after decision to the detriment of the LGBTQ community.
The Republicans won't do anything. Trump is a Republican. He has pulled the mask off on the niceities, but he's still a true conservative with his policy positions. Republicans are racists, sexists, xenophobes, homophobes, all of that. Just no more dog whistles.
I'm talking specifically about Republican politicians. I hold them in much greater contempt than I do Republican voters. So I want that to be clear in case it was not. However, if you have a problem with me speaking frankly and dismissively about the GOP congress, I can't help you there.You seriously aren't helping. How can anyone have a conversation if you're so shut off like this?
No, we're good I was not clear with your meaning it seemed broader in scope. My mistake.I'm talking specifically about Republican politicians.
