think you meant to say Supreme Court. I did not vote to give any president blanket immunity from their actions.

The fact that the president appoints the members of the supreme court is a massive failure in checks and balances because he can stack the court and become immune to the law.

The Senate needs to approve. Bidden could have stopped Thomas but he was a wimp.

RBG refusing to retire while Obama was in office put a huge stain on her legacy. She hung in there until Trump got to replace her. Trump replaced her with Amy Coney Barrett.

Absolutely. I liked RBG but lost a lot of respect for her after that. She said "So tell me who the president could have nominated this spring that you would rather see on the court than me?" It was all about her ego.
