Get it done !!!!!!!
Man it must really suck to be a DEMONCRAT !
I agree. Get a new scotus now. It’s that important.
We got that Mitt Romney problem in the senate. That is a big issue.
A 4 to 4 Supreme Court means a constitutional crisis in a contested election
Thanks to the liberal s#!t bag Harry Reid back in 2013, we now have simple majority of 51 votes to get it done in the Senate. Thanks Harry, thanks much you lying slimeball.
Mitch McConnell has actually been doing a great job of getting judicial nominees through the Senate these last few years. This has been one of the more overlooked aspects of the importance of the Trump presidency. The conservative judges that have been confirmed to federal district and appeals courts has been hugely important.
The Romney problem. Oh yeah, Mittens. If Mittens would have actually had a little, just a little fight in him, he could have won in 2012. I knew people in DC at the time and they actually thought he was going to win and the town was getting ready for it. Oh but Mittens had to be just a bit too nice, too fair, too above it all. The guy just loves to show how to lose with grace and dignity. The guy is just a bit too full of himself to realize that if he would have won, the left would have treated him this bad as well. They would have gone after his picks and appointments just as much as they do now. It is war for the left and it is all about getting and keeping power and not just winning an election here and there and being able to be a sometimes vocal minority.
So who might the pick be? Amy Coney Barrett? Sure, watch leftie heads explode over a Catholic nominee to the Supreme Court. What kind of dirt can they fabricate like they did for Kavanaugh?
May God bless and keep Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her surviving family. Politics aside, she served her country for a good many years.
Dems may delay her funeral until after the election and keep her on the bench. hehe
Let the voters decide. Just like McConnell said in 2016.
If it were me I’d start the confirmations and then vote after the elections.
You mean “principled once in life” like --- Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Demings, Jeffries, Lofgren, Hakeem, Crow, and Garcia?
You are so caught up in the Leftwing Liberal rhetoric and talking points you forget how this all works. Well, that is, how your ilk has demonstrated how this all works, per-say.
Lurker, you're deflecting.
Not at all, just being straightforward and undeviating from your McConnell statement. You said, “be consistent and principled for once in life” ---- then I posted a Leftwing comparative list of names.
Nothing deflective about the point I made.
Buford made the same point I made in his last posting, second sentence.
Whataboutism is a deflection tactic.
I’ll bite.
That’s’ an interesting comment from one of the three far leaning Liberal Leftist here on 4M.
I’ll see you one Mitch McConnell, and raise you one Barack Husssein Obama.
Here’s what your favorite past President had to say about the subject.
"When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the President is to nominate someone. The Senate is to Consider that Nomination... There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off years. That's not in the Constitutional text." - Barack Obama
Obama - "When There's a Vacancy, the President is to Nominate Someone and the Senate is to Consider" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkwQxQUJKks
I'm not talking about Obama. I'm talking about McConnell since he was the one who had the power to hold up the nomination in 2016 and he has the same power today. Stop deflecting.
politicians, both parties: consideration of right or wrong doesn't matter. only if you are on team red or team blue...
Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.
2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”
2016, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”
2016, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”
2016, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”
2016, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”
2016, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”
2016, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”
2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”
2016, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”
2016, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”
At least one Republican senator has stepped up to show she has principles.

Mcnugget recognizing principles, lol.......
so just because they all said that back in 2016 means your team has to do the exact same thing in 2020??
Thought y'all wanted to be all different and stuff.
I believe we are getting ready to see another saga of Tony and Ezekiel.....and your team probably won't like it.
The irony in this too funny.
We knew it was the last year of the HNIC’s presidency .................. they isn’ so with THIS GREAT PRESIDENT ! And just like the LIBTARDS always do if they don” get their way .............change the rules ! This is scary for anyone that is why it is important to re elect TRUMP !
Remember when Obama re-nig'd on the backroom deal with the Republican leader. Obama got greedy and figured that he could get more? That right there set the standard, there is none....
Come on mcarter, you’re slipping by not calling out the last two posters for deflecting. SMH!!!!!!!!!
