Why Conservatives Should Vote for Hillary Clinton

This is infuriating.

The dangers a Trump presidency would pose for foreign policy (isolationism) and economic prosperity (trade wars) outweigh the constitutional distortions that would continue with a Democratic administration. Moreover, there are no guarantees that Trump would appoint a principled conservative to the court even if he were elected president. Conservatives should resign themselves to losing the court, taking solace in the fact that the court can be recaptured far more quickly than conventional wisdom allows when genuine Republicans regain power. Of course, it will require thinking outside the box—a willingness to take radical steps that conservatives by nature are averse to consider. Specifically, Conservatives can regain control of the court through court-packing, or increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court until conservative justices outnumber liberal justices.

Roosevelt successfully packed the court, albeit not in the way he had originally intended. His proposal to increase the size of the court failed for political reasons. Nevertheless, his original proposal would have been constitutional since the size of the Supreme Court is not specified in the Constitution and the number of judges on the court has varied over the course of American history.

Conservatives reluctant to support Trump but lamenting that a Clinton victory would lead to a Supreme Court dominated by progressives should recall the lessons of the New Deal. The progressive court that would emerge from a Clinton presidency could be quickly transformed if Republicans copy New Deal progressives and embrace court-packing. There would be costs associated with this scenario, but the costs of either a Trump presidency or acquiescing to a generation of progressive jurisprudence would be far greater.

How about no, suck it up, your shitty justices have fucked the SCOTUS' decisions up for enough time already.
