My gut instinct was to wait til after the election to confirm a justice, I was worried about the grief Republicans would get in media, especially since of the 2016 holdout (different situations I know, but low info voters wont have it explained). But after browsing through TD Ive changed course. The democrats deserve zero fairness after Russia hoax, Kavenaugh farse, phony impeachment, endless obstruction, allowing riots, and it goes on and on and on. Shove the nominee through on November 2nd at midnight for all I care. The democrats fully and truly deserve this.

Do people remember what they did to kavanaugh and his family? Then Kamala and Cory Booker laughing about it while kavanaugh was testifying in front of them? What they did to his family? What they did to his personal reputation. I don't think people realize the purpose of the smears and intimidation was to discourage future nominees not just smear kavanaugh. The newspapers and media not only went along with it they poured fuel on the fire. Liberals have said if anyone wants to be a supreme Court justice under Trump they can expect this type of abuse all endorsed by major reporters and any type of fairness is should not be expected when it comes to Trump's nominees.
Its messed up. They are the ones who caused division for SCOTUS nominations. Prior to Gorsuch and Kavenaugh there were always a handful of votes from opposition. Not any more.
I agree. And the opposition was always usually on ideological or academic grounds. With kavanaugh it was personal and malicious and it was designed to destroy his wife and family so much that his family would urge kavanaugh to drop out of the nomination process to make it end. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
They will riot and loot regardless. And honestly the sooner it gets done the sooner they will find something else to be mad about.
Plus - the energy they are putting to rioting and voter fraud schemes will be scattered a little bit.
True, spread them thin. We are the party of high energy, not them.
Honestly even if it means a trump loss (which i dont think it would cause, but still). It may be worth it to replace RGB. Left gona complain and riot as usual, so make them do it for a real reason this time.
Absolutely. This is both taking the high ground and hurting them where it matters for a generation.
Yep, fuck them fuck them fuck them! We are pissed how they have treated us and the fucking Senate better do this shit!
If they can try to destroy a 17 y.o.'s life for smiling at someone abusing him and still attack him, you can bet they would do anything to us. Fuck them. Seat the Justice and demoralize them, to the extent they won't even bother to vote because the do nothing but lose.
Fairness didn't have anything to do with it then, and it doesn't have anything to do with it now. It's about power. We had it then. We have it now. Fuck them.
This is not a difficult call. The public put republicans in charge of the presidency and senate. It's the republicans duty to do what their voters want them to do
Even Schumer has said the senate has confirmed SCOTUS justices 17 times in a presidential election year

I had about 3 seconds of indecision and then the rally was over and Martha McCallum said we need to wait and I thought Fuck her and Fuck all of 'em....GETRDONE GEOTUS AND COCAINE MITCH!!!
Having a 6 3 (5 4) advantage is once in a lifetime.
I love Trumps record as prez.
I voted for him because of SCOTUS.
This is huge.
It has to happen.
This is the way.
We don't need to go to their level of outright fraud, treason, and treachery, but the GOP has a history of following traditions, being polite, and my least favorite, being "fair", as if Democrats appreciate anything. They have an insatiable appetite for power and deserve no quarter. We screw them any way possible, but legally, no matter how petty it seems. They'll cry, but greater hypocrites have never existed, and the traitors don't deserve anything but justice, denied for far too long
How did you read my thoughts and put them into words?
The 2016 holdout was bipartisan. Obama could have gotten the RINOS defect and go along with him. But he didn't. He thought Hillary would win.
It's amazing how many of us were scared to go on the offense here when the news first broke. After complaining about being on defense for so long. Glad you changed your mind.
