RBG dead at 87!

[Ratbeetle]

They just finally leaked it since the only way to get anyone excited about senile, creeper joe is to hinge a USSC appointment on his election.

Prepare for every political a$$hat to reverse their course from 2016.
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell in Feb 2016.

Let’s see if any of them have a shred of integrity.

Truthfully I do think they will wait, chances are good Trump will win.

 

[Jskaanland]

Just a reminder to be civil. I will add even though I didn't agree with her politics I give my condolences to her family

 

[RyanT26]

Man, I bet the soon to be coming Supreme Court memes are going ruthless.
Ok I am done!

My bet is NO!

 

[RyanT26]

My bet is NO!

And they shouldn’t. It would be nice if they could get it pushed through by noon on Monday.

I do wish that I could go to a hunting forum, or any other type of forum for that matter, and not have to hear about partisan politics.

 

[Broomd]

I mean, they told us what was right, right? So surely they won't try and nominate someone before the election?

You guys need to get the story straight, The GOP didn't confirm Merrick Garland because McConnell has always maintained that a lame duck President shouldn't nominate right before an election.
Trump is not a lame duck, he has a mandate with the Senate majority. Obama was a lame duck.

Sorry for the 'right-sided' commentary, Zig....
If you guys think the Marxists on the left, Schumer, Harris, Warren et al, wouldn't cram this through in the next month, you're on crack, respectfully.

That's funny, I was just wondering if the left was going to try to push through the nominee like they did last time.

The stage is set for a constitutional crisis if the election is contested in a court that is 4-4.

Trump wins the tie I believe.

After 11/3 its going to get nasty.

Oh how the political values shift with time.

But when he was a senator, Obama and his Democratic colleagues attempted to block the nomination of President George W. Bush’s pick to the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito, using the technical procedure of a filibuster.

Regardless, I agreed with nothing she did. She was a patriot that stuck to her values. I’m a huge fan of that quality. I need not agree with someone to accept she was an American Icon. God Speed RBG.
Now my personal opinion. Replace her ASAP with someone who thinks more like me.

I'd rather all of them stick to the constitution rather than their values.

No kidding. She was an activist, plain and simple. That stuff doesn't belong in SCOTUS.

 

[Akwoodchuck]

Either way Trump decides to play it, this is a HUGE political win for him, make no mistake...the 2016 vacancy basically swung the election to him, and the Kavanaugh confirmation gave him a big bump in the polls as well. It will also suck a ton of oxygen away from the covid issue, which has been hurting him. Be interesting to see what occurs here....

 

[KoolBreeze]

One would think they Republican controlled Senate would have learned by now that you use the power while you have it. But it will be interesting to see what they do.

Sure. She has been doing it for a lifetime. I wish no ill will of anyone.I’ve had Liberals in my family I disagreed with 1000%.
She did what she thought was right in her mind. Kudos.
With that said, I sure hope MY PRESIDENT DJT appoints someone who thinks more like me.

 

[Fartrell Cluggins]

How much do Murkowski and Collins value their seats. They are holding on by a thread. Those who voted for them will not appreciate it if they don't vote yea.

 

[Fartrell Cluggins]

Anyone who would hold up the South African constitution as a model, rather than the one she is sworn to defend ,isn't someone who believes strongly in her own constitution.
