I disagree. I can't recall the Right reacting on this scale to someone's death (not even mass murderers). Maybe Bin Laden, but that was more of a universal "woohoo".
Ok, he's not dead yet but..
I can't think of any prominent liberals that have died recently, but I expect the reaction would be a similar sort of hateful glee. After all, we have members on this board who think writing "Hitllery" and "NObama" is the pinnacle of intelligent discourse.
What's to stop the GOP from doing the same under the threat of a liberal court?
Also, the GOP isn't going to lose the House majority. It would take a shellacking worse than 2014.
This isn't a question of the House getting a majority, it's a question of whether Republicans who hold borderline seats are going to go gentle into that good night for the sake of party unity.
Nothing will stop the GOP using the threat of a liberal court to get turnout. How do you think the Republicans being big cry-babies for 8 months straight will play with moderates and independents?

Haters gonna hate. The big difference is who displays this glee. Essentially there's three levels of this:
1) Random nutjobs on the internet
2) People with an audience that want clicks
3) Actual official representatives of a party or other mainstream organization
1 will always happen and is nothing to get concerned about. It is when it goes down the ladder towards more official people that it gets nasty, because anyone on level 2 or 3 of that scale showing glee will encourage a hundred more on the level above.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
I get a 500 error on that link, but in general I think that it is fine to criticize Carter for things unrelated to his diagnosis, but if he mocked Biden just after his son died, that is over the line.

I agree it's fine to criticise where it's due- choosing to do so in a public forum the day after an announcement of a diagnosis of brain cancer shows a complete lack of human compassion.
Jumping back to Scalia, one honestly needs to be in despot/serial killer territory for me be happy they're dead.
I'm sure many see him that way. I'm not one to celebrate anyone's death, no matter how low my opinion of them. I can understand the feeling that there is a chance for society to improve significantly without him in the job but cheering and laughing is sadly lacking in class.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
I have to admit, though, I have no faith in Fivethirtyeight's ability to be neutral, it's always been Leftish.

Okay, nevermind then, I'll agree with him apparently being at the median of the USSC (now). However, since still doesn't support the right to keep and bear arms, that's pretty far to the Left compared to the average American citizen (who does support that right). No one who isn't pro-2A will be confirmed. I know my senators are prepared to camp at the capitol until Obama leaves to keep that from happening (having talked with their offices this week).

The Dems would filibuster, while praising Obama for being so brave in offering an olive branch.

This made me laugh. At least Hitllery and NObama is remotely clever. "President Liar" is just stupid.
You'd know, sucking is your forte. You're easily one of the most closed-minded, manipulative, obnoxious posters here.

What's to assume? You're a dyed-in-the-wool ideologue and as rigid in your beliefs as any conservative that you ridicule.

At least President Liar doesn't want to take all of our guns away, unlike Ann Cooter.
Channeling Bad OshKosh is hard, I guess I should pay closer attention to his style. You have to admit, "President Liar" was not his creative best. He can do better.

I disagree with your choice of strategy. It won't be cry-babying, it'll be fear-mongering about how a liberal court has the potential to outlawing Christianity (gay marriage was the beginning!), letting men into women's bathrooms, and probably a myriad of other things I haven't thought of but are probably in a Ted Cruz stump speech.

Moderates and independents will rally behind the defense of Christendom?

This is the best YOU CAN DO??? So, did you stop maturing at about 8 years old? That WOULD explain the immaturity, inability to observer the world without the liberal filter, and hand wringing and general whineyness.
If we're talking about the American political spectrum, a voter for whom the most important issue is further combining religion and policy, I would put on the far-right. This is because that's where the candidates who make it a cornerstone of their platform reside.
On my own spectrum, government intrusion is on the left, and since the result of most of the policies we're talking about would be government intrusion, that's where they sit.
