Even if Hillary were a 100% amoral sociopath who cared about nothing but power she would need the support of the Democratic Party. Nominating someone who was anti-choice would 100% lose her that support. No matter what kind of a front she put up. She still needs to be re-nominated, she still needs Democratic votes in the Senate and House to get anything done. Sure, she'll pander to pick up marginal Republican voters, but that's a completely different thing from totally abandoning the most basic tenets of the party. Because you can pander without losing the support of your own party. But you can't appoint a pro-life Supreme Court nominee and retain the support of the Democratic Party. And if there were such a situation where Hillary had no need of political support from the Democratic Party, what need would she have of support from the Republicans.

Fuck, Bill Clinton - who is literally Hillary's husband, and who spent a huge amount of time trying to triangulate and appeal to Republicans and compromise in the 90s - still nominated Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer, both of whom have been rock-solid votes on abortion. If it makes so much sense for Hillary to appoint pro-life nominees, how the hell did Bill manage to avoid it? Like, literally the only reason that Hillary would nominate a pro-life candidate is if she was being evil for the sake of being evil, like a fucking Captain Planet villain or something. That's not how human beings work. Even fucking politicians. It is fucking insane.

Bullshit. Hillary could and would nominate and anti-abortionite and all you die hards would do was just through abortion on the pile of things to ignore and still call her a lesser evil. You'd grumble but still insist we support her, because that is what you've been doing all along. I for one am fed up ignoring her sins.
