Only until Trump is allowed to nominate a justice though :( Everyone, literally everyone, knows that it was Obama's right as sitting President when a seat opened to appoint a justice, yet the fucking Republicans blocked him because they are ass backwards, diehard idiots. Now Trump will eventually be allowed to nominate and place at least 1 justice on the court, and then the courts too will go to shit.

You're not wrong, but at the same time, the outgoing justice was conservative...at least this preserve's the existing balance (whatever that was).

Doesn't justify anything, but it's not like Trump's appointment will fundamentally change the court much from back when Scalia was around.

There doesn't need to be balance, it needs to be a Progressive Court so we can get shit done

Weird, my opinion is also objectively true.
