Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away

[utvolpj]

If you want to burn this country to the ground then push through a justice after denying the last president that opportunity. You haven't seen riots like you will see. If you live in Kentucky you had better get the hell out now.

No one will riot over a ussc nominee. Most currently rioting couldn't name 3 of them anyways

Well, I do. You all have fun with the fireworks.

Had she not gotten political I would feel more sympathy. I don't GAF that she's gone. Sorry. She interjected a personal opinion into a place where she absolutely, unequivocally should not have and imho tainted her own 'qualification' as a SCOTUS justice.

 

[johnsonbrewer]

If you believe McConnell will have any consistency here you're delusional. This is his dream scenario. This is going to be one ugly fight.

He won't have the votes

 

[newyorkvol]

This shouldn’t be hard. No nominations til after election results

 

[imw8n4u]

Wow no time for condolences. Real nice, Chuck

That is verbatim what McConnell said when Scalia passed.

 

[Boston Vol]

Yes, hopefully Trump nominates a far right conservative... and forces Susan Collins and Corey Gardner to make a vote before the election. Collins is still catching heat for the Kavanaugh vote... this would finish her in Maine.

It’s not going to happen before the election.

I don't like Clay Travis, but there is truth to that. This exacerbates the divide. It's not good for any nation to be as bitterly divided as the United States is at the moment... and it's about to get much worse.

When communicable a disease is killing tens of thousands of Americans and all we can do is fight over it I'm afraid we may never find middle ground again.

This exactly what the Dems would do if they held the cards. The days of Republicucks playing nice and rolling over needs to end now.

100% agree. Eff 'em.

 

[carlos86]

There’s no doubt that McConnell wants to move forward with a nominee. Whether or not it happens depends on if Republican senators fall in line. I think that there will be enough against a nomination for it to happen at this time.

McConnell risks short term victory at long term cost.

The vote won’t be held until AFTER the election but before the new Senate takes office.

If Trump loses and the senate swings to the Dems there would be riots if Trump tried to ram a double lame duck scotus appointment through.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

This will be Romney's chance to give Trump the ultimate F.U.

Ok, wait until after the election then nominate and confirm.

Oh man...that will be something.

Followed by “You packed the court, so we’re going to actually add seats to the court”.

That’s what court packing is, but I agree it would not be the end of the tit for tat.

No there wouldn’t be.

 

[GAVol]

Isn’t that what court packing means?

It is. I didn't word that very well. I should’ve said add even MORE seats to the court. I knew what I meant lol.

You mean more riots?

 

[luthervol]

She thought way too much of herself and her importance, she should have retired while Obama was in office and could appoint her replacement. Her hubris will be the cause of her seat moving right.

You are consistently on the wrong side.
You should write it all down "History Through the Eyes of the Bitter Old White Guy".
Subtitled "An Unsettling Glimpse into the Mind of a Trumper".

 

[evillawyer]

Yes, schumer was just quoting McConnell

 

[FallCreekVols]

Seriously??? Knock it off. Show some respect. The woman deserves it.

Plenty of respect for RBG. My post refers to the nutcase corrupt Left. Much of the country is already agreeing with my prediction.

Don't you think though that every justice needs to think about retirement around age 75 whenever there's a palatable administration in office? It's common sense.

You really want to tell me that she shouldn‘t have retired in 2014/15?

 

[NorthDallas40]

I’m sorry but I need some sources saying that’s what you meant. But it’s ok anonymous sources are good this time

 

[carlos86]

Alexander? Wow. Color me surprised.

Collins, Romney and Grassley are also all reportedly no’s

 

[imw8n4u]

McConnell just said they would take up Trump nominee, parabellum.
