You are the type of person who has divided this nation. You are happy Ginsberg died and can’t wait to get some ultra right wing nut job on the Supreme Court. Why? Because you don’t care about the future of our country.
actually replacing a former aclu lawyer with a strict constitutionalist would be a great thing for our country
Doesn’t matter... it’s about the time it will take to hold the hearings, etc.
Yep who's principled now. These are the people who shove Jesus and America down my throat. Prove I should ever listen to you again about anything. I'm never going to forgive them if they do they. And their children will know it.
Trump has purposely made the divisiveness worse.
Trump has made the divisiveness far worse because he hates America.
Wrong. But, you’re stupid and a Trump supporter so I guess that’s how you would think.
Right now there should be a mourning period. I also feel there are far more pressing matters at this time for the Senate to be performing, such as finalizing another stimulus package, than voting for / against a replacement.
If McConnell forces a vote before the 3rd of January, then no one should legitimately complain if the Democrats seriously consider expanding the court.
That would be terrible too. This is why political hard-ball and flouting of norms is so dangerous.
Trump actually fights back at the lefties as hard as they try to attack him.
For far too long, Republicans put up with the left's nonsense, too afraid to truly engage.
That's why Trump beat the other 19 republicans in the primaries, and that's why he beat Hillary.
It remains to be seen whether that results in another victory.
Sorry, I don’t subscribe to your thesis that Democrats are as unscrupulous as trump republicans. There was a time when both parties could act with honor in times like this. Now it’s just one party, and it’s not the party you belong to. I understand if you have to lie to yourself about that to justify your votes.
I'm shocked that the Dimms and media didn't hide her death until after the election.
No, he hates America as do Trump supporters. He doesn’t care about making our country better or more united. Nor do his supporters.
Trump supporters are celebrating Ginsberg’s death because it has potential benefit to their hero. The Branch Trumpians welcome death of those who stand in the way of their cult leader.
So if the Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate they "should" pack the court since they know they can.
Mitch set the precedent. Things changed since Biden said that
I am a conservative.....and I disagreed with Ginsberg. But, there is no way they should have a vote before the election. Holding off is the right thing to do. But, with Washington....nothing either party has done lately has been about the right thing. Why can't we have a third party. Sigh.
Mitch McConnell is a lot of things, but he's not stupid. Pushing through a SCOTUS appointee approval before the election would be a "win" that would fire up the mindless Trumpanzees, but he would almost certainly be surrendering the Senate to the Dems by strong-arming so many vulnerable GOP Senators to make a controversial 'yea' vote. Also, there's still a better chance than not that Biden will win the election anyway. So, if he p*sses off the Dems with another bullsh*t move just prior to them taking full control, he would be looking at a miserable final stretch of his career. How 'bout having the SCOTUS expanded to 15 members and admitting D.C. and Puerto Rico as States? The minority GOP might not ever recover.
i envision a compromise being made between the two parties regarding this subject. It would be something to the effect of GOP agreeing not to push a vote for SCOTUS through before Jan 20th in exchange for Biden agreeing not to pack the SCOTUS or eliminate the tax cut during his first term.
I know the two teams aren't very good at working together, but something like this is what would be fair to the voters and eliminate what is otherwise going to be a total sh&tshow going through the Senate for the next 2-3 months (parliamentary tricks, obstruction, abuse of discretionary authority, lame-duckers going rogue, lawsuits, etc.).

Liberals attempted and illegal coup to get rid of Trump. They deserve to be attacked forever.
If we're talking theory, then Trump should make a nomination. His term is four years, not three years and eight months.
In theory, those that said the Senate should have voted on Garland would be consistent if they said Trump should make a nomination and have a Senate vote.
Those who are outraged at Trump and the Senate are being intellectually dishonest. They are outraged at the hypocrisy of Mcconnell instead of being consistent in their own beliefs.
For the record, I think the Senate should have voted on Garland and not having a vote was chickendhlt.
Oh, I'm not Republican.

Frankly , I am not sure why it is an issue, I mean we have a process in place that has been in place forever. Why not just follow the process? If I am not mistaken , Obama’s nominee would not have made it through the senate anyhow , so it was a completely different situation.
Your last statement is an empirical question. We will never know if Garland would have been confirmed because he was never brought up for an up or down vote.
Alex Jones claimed today that RBG has been dead for a year and that she has "freezer burn". I turned his nonsense off after that. Maybe @ottumwan in tx can speak to this.
