You’re right. McConnell even mentioned it at the time. Nothing will happen if she doesn’t make it. Turtle is already nervous about losing the majority. He won’t play games like that.
Yeah because Conservatives seeing people getting attacked by mobs, losing their jobs and business because of extreme mandates and seeing the tearing down of statues PLUS seeing radical Marxism, racism and the Supreme Court seat open...won't motivate them.
Traditionally, it has been Republicans that cite Supreme Court appointments as high on their list of reasons to vote, but the current political climate is very strange... so who knows? If RBG is replaced, I have no idea which party will benefit in terms of voter turnout, but I do know that the left will go ape shit. There will be riots and massive demonstrations, but if it happens before the end of summer, then I think they may just end up depressed and dejected by the time the election rolls around. But again, who the hell knows?
Oh I think she'll live for a while. She went through this thing too many times for me to think otherwise.
Agree that the left will go insane. but then again probably not as bad as 2017.
Not if she's replaced before the election. Cocaine Mitch may have refused to have a vote at the end of Obama's last term, but that doesn't mean he has to do the same at the end of Trump's first.
I would rather her wait until after Trump is re-elected. We know the next SC slot is going to be a fight, let’s do it when we can take our time and enjoy the salt mine
It won't matter. If the dems end up winning POTUS and senate, they have already said they would pack the SCOTUS with more judges. 5-4 now? It'll be 5-7 when they are done adding 3 more progs.
That's the big question. Do we give an inch and wait out of fear of voter turn out and fraud or do we move forward, rile up the base and fight the fraud?
With the state the country is in right now...oh man would this be pandemonium.
Mitt Romney would be the first Democrat to say it.
They would have to wait anyway. Mitch set the precedent when Obama appointed.
Nope. The Senate is controlled by the President's own party. That wasn't the case in 2016. Every other excuse is BS.
But McConnell’s reason was that the senate would not make appointments during an election year. Nothing would happen until after November
He blocked an appointment, they can block one if they get the Senate back.
Joe Biden set the precedent in like 1992. It's literally called the Biden rule. However Biden can get fucked.

Fuck it.
anybody but her. she is weak on immigration and basically a liberal
this time lets make sure she is not a cuck like the other "conservative" justices
not amy. sorry. pick another one.
I'm telling you now, this will motivate Dems more than us.

Let's get ready to rumble!!!!

Our Rinos won’t confirm this close to an election. Guaranteed
You would get along well with all the spineless Republicans in congress
