Even the Dems winning control of the senate doesn’t mean that they would have the votes to end the filibuster and expand the courts. There’s no guarantee that Manchin, Sinema, Tester, or Hassan go along with it.

Those folks like to vote with the GOP when their votes don't matter. When stuff matters, they'll vote dem. They're our Susan Collins.

No GOP said that mouthful in announcing the rule in 2016. They announced a simple principle readily understood by all who heard it: it's an election year, so let's put this on the ballot and let the people decide. I don't like that rule. I think a president is elected for a four year term and his appointees should get a hearing. But the Republicans said no on that. They stole the scotus seat and they blocked Obama's lower court appointees. And now they're not playing by their own purported "rule." This is pure politics at this point. The Democrats can't act like it is anything other than this is they win the senate and POTUS.

I do remember a lot about that “rule.” But that was actually the “Biden Rule” from 1992.

It’s not about being in your right mind ( although we’ve seen enough from Joe to know he’s not ) it’s all about the virtue signaling and being besties with Barack . Weather she would except it is another story .

Luther is horribly misguided but I don't think he's a bad person. Hell, he's a Vol fan so he can't be that bad. Living amongst the enemy in Georgia has just warped his mind.

This post made me think of something Dan Bongino talks about often.

He says that conservatives think of liberals as “people with bad ideas” VS hard left liberals who think of conservatives as “bad people with ideas”

It’s a pretty accurate observation based on what we’re seeing in 2020.

As long as it's not a lame mexican or Chinese or gay or muslim or jewish or trans or atheist duck they're good with it. Assuming it supports the 2nd Amendment.

Of course it does. You folks started pissing and moaning the night of the election.

Of course we did. I'm still amazed it wasn't worse.
No one could have voted for Trump without fully expecting that reaction; if so, then they were absolutely clueless.

Flatly ... that's true. Just leveling the playing field.

I saw a video of a lawyer that said many people don't realize that this hurts the dems more than just a possible Trump appointment making it on the SC before the election or even before inauguration. Many believe that the democrats will refuse to accept the results of the election and will try to steal it in the courts. Many think this will make it all the way to the supreme court. If that occurs, there is one less liberal court member and it will likely thwart any attempt by the dems to steal the election.

Hadn’t thought of that part. This is all going to backfire on him in a big way.

I believe like everyone believes , that if the Dems held the Senate majority and the Oval they would push an appointment through before the election . If they lost the Oval , the Senate or both they would most definitely push it through before January 20 of 2021 , don’t you believe that also ? Did I do a better job that time of pinning you down Mr. Squirmy McSquimison?

You did. You never mentioned having both the senate and the presidency.
I would hope they would do the correct thing and delay the vote. Had the Trumpism catastrophe never happened, it would be a far more united country, but we'll never know.
I do know that across the board, the correct thing would have had a far greater probability of happening in the alternative universe where Trump lost in 2016.
