And the trumptards still haven't figured out trump is playing them. Worst candidates ever :shrug:
So long as any remaining Supreme Court nominees are in the mold of Scalia I don't give a rat's ass about the rest. Its fairly obvious that the establishment republicrats in the House and Senate have no interest in the will of the people or rolling back government in any way shape or form.

Also, if you make everything a racial issue, and promote voting along racial lines among minorities, you should not be surprised when whites also begin to vote as a racial block
...but the U.S. of America is not white...and it was the Right that made Barack's presidency a racial issue.
Bullshit. If it was about race he never would have gotten elected in the first place.

The problem with stacking the SCOTUS with idealogues instead of balancing it a little closer to the realities of the electorate is that the risk looms large of losing credibility with the people. Power shifts from party to party in the other two branches as befits the tides of public opinion but the SCOTUS is supposed to take a longer arc than that, more independent of but not totally disconnected from contemporary values.

The court needs a couple of political activists on each end to fairly and actively represent the thinking of those groups as well as swing voters who will cross over if the argument warrants it. A SCOTUS that is so biased that it's just using a rubber stamp all the time isn't going to be credible with the people and will undermine the perception of the rule of law at all levels of the judiciary. .

So a Scalia gets replaced by a Scalia and a Ginsberg gets replaced by a Ginsberg.

Pres. Obama played the race card every single day for 9 years. He got involved with controversies and took the losing side (a few of which which would ultimately be disproven) prior to the facts coming out. All race - all the time. He sowed the seeds of discord and got it back in full measure. That's not to excuse some of the things his opposition did, but he was definitely an active participant.
Show me three instances of Barack's racism.
