Come the November elections, where the House and much of the Senate is up for bids, incivility and tribalism will grow, irrespective of the outcome."You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "That's why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again."

"When you're dealing with an ideological party that is driven by the lust for power, that is funded by corporate interests who want a government that does its bidding, you can be civil but you can't overcome what they intend to do unless you win elections," she told Amanpour.
Clinton compared Kavanaugh's swearing-in ceremony at the White House on Monday to a "political rally" that "further undermined the image and integrity of the court."
She told Amanpour the effect on the court "troubles" and "saddens" her "because our judicial system has been viewed as one of the main pillars of our constitutional government."

After the Kavanaugh confirmation, Clinton said her husband, former President Bill Clinton, told her that "Democrats have to be tougher."

"You cannot be civil" with GOP in power-Coughing Hildabeast
Remembering that Justice Kagan recently called SCOTUS illegitimate because she won't be in the majority any longer...

Re: "You cannot be civil" with GOP in power-Coughing Hildabe
Mrs. Clinton, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Samuel Adams wrote:If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The Confederates and the Comanches weren't "civil".
How'd that work out for them?

Very telling that she feels that a conservative judge should be the swing vote.Remembering that Justice Kagan recently called SCOTUS illegitimate because she won't be in the majority any longer...
How about they all use the constitution as a guide when deciding?
