Dems ate not in a real good place to be talking about morals right now.

Is there a law that keeps the current POTUS from nominating a new SCJ in an election year? What about the constitution?

And what about the Senate confirming a SCJ?

Started to work on border and is trying

Pulled back a ton of regulations

Lets see how much Ginsburg’s wishes matter

  • Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder backed the idea yesterday. When court expansion came up during Democratic primaries last year, Ginsburg said she was opposed.
Capturing the anything-goes spirit among Democrats amid the Supreme Court fight, one party strategist texted me: "Guam want in?"

No need to "ram" it through; there's plenty of time - just libs being dramatic again. What the senate republicans should do now is confirm Trump's candidate; and should they lose the senate, somehow reinstate the 60 vote supermajority on the way out.

Nope... The issue at hand doesn't concern either Federal Law or the Constitution. The issue concerns the blatant, full frontal, butt naked, hypocrisy on the part of Senate Republicans. They refused to take up a vote on Merrick Garland in 2016 because it was an election year, and in their reasoning the winner of the upcoming election should be the President to fill Scalia's seat. Senate Republicans made no allowances at that time for confirming a nominee from within one's own party during an election year... and worst of all, they broke with precedent by not giving Garland a vote. They could have rejected Garland by way of a normal Senate confirmation process with hearings and a vote, but they chose not to. They now look like hypocrites for it and Democrats have every reason to point this out.

Ocasio-Cortez to Followers on Ginsburg Death: ‘Let This Moment Radicalize You’

During a 41-minute monologue posted to her Instagram on Friday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) decried potential forthcoming action on replacing Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg led by President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Ocasio-Cortez urged her followers to be proactive in their opposition to any appointment made by Trump, who she called authoritarian.

“We have an authoritarian president,” she said. “That’s what we have. He has no regard for the dignity of human life.”

She also urged her followers to be radicalized about the upcoming election.

“Let this moment radicalize you,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Let this moment really put everything into stark focus because this election has always been about the fight of and for our lives. And if anything, tonight is making that more clear to more people than ever before.”

Susan Collins: ‘No Objection’ to Senate Beginning Consideration of Trump SCOTUS Nominee Before Election

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has planted herself on the fence in the debate over the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s empty Supreme Court seat, saying that the Senate should wait until after the November election to vote on the nominee, while adding that she has “no objection” to the Senate Judiciary Committee starting the process of filling the vacancy.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg Denounced Democrat Push to Stack Supreme Court

Footage from an interview with NPR shows the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg denouncing the Democrats’ push to stack the Supreme Court of the United States.

The video shows Ginsberg being asked about the number of justices on SCOTUS and she said, “There is no fixed number in the Constitution. So this court has had as few as five, as many as ten. Nine seems to be a good number, and it’s been that way for a long time.”

She added, “I have heard there are some on the Democrat side who would like to increase the number of judges.” She mentioned that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s wanted to stack SCOTUS, and she made clear she thought “it was a bad idea.”

I guess.
I have a hard time using "Trump" and "hope" in the same sentence.

Never mind, that's not true, I just thought of one.

I hope Trump, and more importantly Trumpism, are destroyed in November and become a quickly fading nightmare.

Fight fire with fire. The GOP had been getting torched by running people like Romney and McCain. Like it or not, I hope Trump taught the GOP a lesson about what it takes to win. I'm not at all surprised that you believe the GOP should pick someone "classier" who would again be eaten alive by a dem candidate. The GOP before Trump was pretty much playing the same game as Tennessee with Derek Dooley running the show.

This one cracks me up. I see it a lot.

"Trump has a conservative record as president straight down the line... But he doesn't really MEAN it!"

There is a massive disconnect between center right conservatives and center left liberals who cannot fathom how someone can not give a **** about what Trump says or thinks and still believe he's a good president, or at least better than the alternative.

I don't think that at all.
I do think that it taking something like a Trump for one to bother and vote is incredibly sad, on multiple levels.

A lot of those people have seen politicians from both parties send their jobs to other countries for years. They have seen their wages stagnate due to competition from illegal foreign workers. They have seen their medical costs soar to pay to take care of people who shouldn't be in the country in the first place. They have seen their sons and daughters fight endless wars for what, exactly? Are you that dense that you think they haven't seen what has been going on, and might take a chance and vote for someone who is at least gives them a voice?

What?
Republicans had won 5 of the previous 9 presidential elections.
None of those 5 found it necessary to be a horrendously repulsive divider whose only true currency was hate and fear.
The fact that some of you view that as a winning formula is disheartening.

You seem to be under the impression Trump made the rules. He didn't. He is just the first Republican willing to play by them.
