  - [deleted] 2
    - If it was 5-4 with Scalia writing the decision would that have screwed everything up? If it's not 4-4 then it's 5-3 against affirmative action. - Krusty Jun 20, 06:02 1

that two finals in a row where the season mvp didnt elevate his game during the finals (this year his game deflated greatly). - Truman Jun 20, 05:03 4
- I think he's worn down, but he's not overhyped. His season this year is absurd for so many reasons. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 05:16 3
  - is Lebron a free agent this offseason? or does he have another year locked in with the Cavs? -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 05:20 2
    - He can opt out but all signs point to him staying. -- nm - Krusty Jun 20, 05:22 1
      - I figured he would at least till the new TV contract kicks in and he gets P.A.I.D -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 05:33

  - For right now, it's an arrow in their quiver to try to win November. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 04:59 18
    - It's going to backfire on them over the long term when Hillary puts a much more liberal person on the bench. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 05:20 16

        The pressure that would come from everywhere would be tremendous. After the election they'll have no excuse as to why - Krusty Jun 20, 05:40 7
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        There's no pressure now, that'll change. No one is really out there pushing them and the press has left it alone for weeks. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 20, 05:41 2

        How? They're losing that opportunity because I think Obama pulls him back on Nov. 9th. - Krusty Jun 20, 05:49
        
        Also, they may not have the senate next year. -- nm - Krusty Jun 20, 05:40 2

        They can't hold out forever. They're going to get killed on this every time there's a decision that's 4-4. - Krusty Jun 20, 05:44
      - Yeah, but they're not willing to punt on the General this early and voting for Garland is a punt. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 05:35 2
        
        They're not very bright if at this point they think they're going to win the White House. It has to be to try and protect the house and senate - Krusty Jun 20, 05:39 1
        
        That's all it is. Getting out the vote. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 05:50
