Hold them but no Democrats show up, boycott instead. That might say more than to have all the nasty attacks against a female nominee that will be used to hammer their candidates prior to the election. In the end, hearings now change nothing.

Fyi...I have nothing against bartenders. Just wanna be bartenders with faux economics expertise and no historical knowledge besides a few talking points and a learn as you go apprentice serving as a congressperson but the progressives have a bunch of unqualified people in the house with only SJW experience.

I have to say I learned from people who stayed at the hotel. Federal inspectors working at Conrail sites for the EPA, German contractors for Bayer and miles laboratory, engineers from all over the world but I think the best was the people who played the venues for the annual jazz fest. The worst were the Penn fans who came for Notre Dame games ugh.
AOC was picked for her seat and her effect. She's another puppet.

And then when the GOP takes control they do the same thing. Then in 25 years, as it ping pongs from one party to the other, we can have 80 Supreme Court justices. Awesome! Great plan.

Did someone do a study to determine 9 partisan Justices was the optimal number ?

Do their seats magically shut off 60 or 90 days before an election? The Senate and the presidency are still in power until Jan 20th. That's 5 months left in their terms.
Everyone can plead till they are blue in the face that they can't run through a candidate, but they will.

They'll probably let it dangle out there as bait to turn out the Republican voters but I am confident they will hold hearings during the lame duck session should the Republicans lose the Senate and/or presidency. This is too important to the Republican base not to take action.

I don't know if the nominee will be confirmed but there will be a vote. If Republicans don't press a vote on this, the party is dead. The cultural conservatives will leave and start up a third party and the chamber of commerce/Rockefeller Republican types will be screwed. Probably would not be another Republican/conservative POTUS in my lifetime (estimated about 30 years).

I believe they will vote and succeed. JMO. I think the Republican party that offered up McCain and Romney is dead. Either that or they were such poor choices they were intended to fail. I left in 2000 after Bush started pushing to grant the Fed gov powers they never should have had. I believe the party is done with rhinos and people will leave it.

She never says I will not support any attempt by the president and Senate to get this nomination approved. She simply says what the senate and president should do. Importantly, she does not say, if they act contrary to what they SHOULD do, I won't follow along.

That’s what I’ve been telling you since you started this narrative sister and got your panties all hopefully wadded up! NONE of the GOP Senator hopefuls you’ve brought out as righteously standing against nomination have stated they will vote no if a vote is put forth. If that stays true then you need SEVEN non votes to block it. Not going to happen.
