Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

If they don't move on a nominee here, Biden wins and appoints, I think we're even and the Dems don't move to pack the court.

Packing the court is a far left wet dream. Even Biden is on record as being against that

 

[1972 Grad]

This thread is gross.

It is now.

They might lose 'em anyway so if that's the case then they might as well go for broke but it's not for me to say. Politically more than 3 Senators might say they can't support a lame duck nomination

I said at the time and I'll say it again now: Republicans screwed up the Merrick Garland nomination. They had a comfortable majority in the Senate. They should have let the nomination come to a vote and then voted him down. Now they'll look like hypocrites.

I don't think Mitch wanted to risk it

But what about in 2012 when Obama was reelected and his candidate didn't get a vote several months out from the end of his term? Didn't the American people vote for four more years of Obama? I'm confused on how it was okay to do that then but not okay now.

Exactly. The American people didn't re-elect Obama in 2012 to only serve 3 years. Garland was nominated in March of 2016. Obama still had 20% of his 2nd term in office left. That is a lot of time left to be calling someone a "lame duck".

I'm sure he'll find someone who laments that we went from the horse and buggy to the automobile and that all these black and brown people get to vote now.

Nice use of the race card from way out in left field.

I don't like Rush Limbaugh, and statistically speaking, he will probably die within the next 4 years, but that doesn't make me feel better. I'm sure he has a family and people who care about him. I know I won't gloat over it when it happens.

Do you really think you're more civil than liberals?

I’ll say it on here like I told NGV last night , I’ll be nice out of respect but the virtue signaling won’t fly for long in this thread because ever single person on here knows with the exception of her family , NOBODYs first thought was I’m going to miss her, she was such a good person , the world lost an amazing person , my life is going to have an empty spot now without her in it . 99% of all the first thoughts yesterday were people going OMG this is a huge deal .

I ask again... What Republican leaning voter is going to buy into this? Isn't the point of voting for a Republican because you want Republican friendly things to happen?

 

[BowlBrother85]

Do you really think there are moderate Trump supporters who will break for Biden over a SCOTUS nominee? If so, why would they be supporting him in the first place? It makes no sense.

No, I think there are independent voters who weigh Supreme Court nominations heavily. Once the Republicans have filled RBG's seat with a conservative, they lose a key talking point for their appeal. It effectively removes the Supreme Court as a deciding factor for voters who prefer conservative justices. Once RBG is replaced with a conservative, any fear of having a liberal court is gone.

There we go.

Yep. If the shoes were on the other foot you know exactly what the Dems would do.

I'm pretty sure it can be thrown from left, center, or right field.

The Dems will not pack the court.

 

[luthervol]

Yes being revered by the abortion industry and the sodomite community is something to be proud of

How's the view from the tar pits?

Shirley, you can't be serious. The Democrats are filled with virtue, and would never do such a thing.

I think there's definitely an argument that an open seat is more valuable to both sides on election day.

Already bracing for all the gun and abortion ad buys.

It's not cool to gloat over someone's death. It is tasteless and obnoxious.

Should we hold all politicians to what they’ve said in the past or do we just hold one party’s politicians to their word ?

 

[Orangeburst]

Republicans will lose senate and the presidency if they do. And Dems will eliminate filibuster and pack the courts.

And then the next R will pack the courts again.

It’s not cool to have a political rally at a funeral either but I saw that happen this year .

B

 

[luthervol]

And look at how you've become the very imaginary enemy you so feared.

That's not the point at all. Not surprising you don't get it.

The Democrats would never be tasteless and obnoxious. Are they going to hold several funerals and pep rallies in observance of her passing, like they did for John Lewis, George Floyd, and Paul Wellstone?

There is merit to both Trump making an appointment and him not making an appointment. Biden most certainly has to announce who he would appoint so does Trump force his hand by making the announcement before the election or let Biden go first? Either way both will have to go on the record prior to Nov 3rd.

Weren't the families of those people involved? If the families didn't mind it, then neither should you.

 

[SuzyVol]

So all past elections involving democrats had not been free and fair. Got it.

Enjoy the Kool Aid.
