BREAKING>>>Ruth Bader Ginsburg died

[mystery-ak]

Just think of all the ballot harvesting and counterfeit ballots being printed as we speak.

NYT: Ginsburg's yet-to-be-named replacement has already been "credibly accused" of gang rape, according to four unnamed sources... 

Indeed.

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney need to commit today that they will not vote on any Supreme Court nominee before the election.

Which is funny since it most likely will be a woman.

Collins and Murkowski are on record saying they wouldn't support a nominee this close to the election

Barring a reversal, one more defection would force at least a tiebreak >>>

The Court must be at a full compliment should any election disputes such as Bush v Gore occur.

[mrclose]

Republicans infamously blocked President Obama’s Supreme Court pick from receiving a confirmation hearing after Justice Antonin Scalia died in 2016, the year of the last presidential election. GOP lawmakers maintained that a Supreme Court vacancy should not be filled the same year as a presidential race.

However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has maintained that he would fill a 2020 Supreme Court vacancy. He has said that the situation this year would be different than that in 2016 because in 2020 the White House and Senate are held by the same party.

What is 'conveniently' left out of this is that Obama was in his final term and had no chance for re-election.

Not the same!

Trump can run and win another term!

[cato potatoe]

There are three and a half months until the next congress, which most certainly will have enough dems to block a decent nominee.  We need to primary any senators who stall the process.

Which may in the end help the GOP's chances to keep the Senate since Republicans will be more motivated to get out and vote to keep in the hands of the GOP.  I think Trump knows that, he's going to pick the person he thinks will help the GOP the most in November, even if they won't be confirmed until after the election.

B.S.

There is no number cited in the constitution about what constitutes a Full Court!

The original court had only six members!

There has been as little as 5 and as many as 10!

I’m sorry but if you’re 87 and very ill, you should resign. This was a terrible thing to do to the country just when we need it least. Then leave a deathbed plea to not replace you until there’s a “new president.” Uncool.

if they rush confirmation hearings, I look forward to Kamala Harris’ starring role in eviscerating whoever would accept nomination before new president selected contrary to a dying woman’s final wish

This is inaccurate. The McConnell rule was that when the Senate and White House are held by *different parties* in an election year

"That pretty much settle things...Murkowski, Collins and Willard will refuse to allow a replacement before the election so Trump doesn't have the majority to push a nomination through even if he tried."

Hmmm... hold on a minute.
With those three gone, doesn't that leave 50 Republican Senators remaining?
All it takes is 50 votes plus Mike Pence to "break a tie" if there is one...

It’s going to be fascinating to watch all of the Democrats complain about moral hypocrisy from Republicans after what they did to Brett Kavanaugh. Spare me please.

[Lando Lincoln]

Thank God we have the Senate...but talk about a gift to incentivize Dems to get out the vote.

100% agree. I see this as lousy timing.

"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed,” Justice Ginsburg dictated to her granddaughter during her last days, reports Nina Totenberg of NPR.



so what...it's not up to her

[Fishrrman]

mystery posted:
"The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said days before her death that her "most fervent wish" was that she not be replaced on the high court until a new president is sworn into the White House."

Not your call, Ruthie.
And that's all I've got to say about that.

[sneakypete]

No chance, politically speaking.

The question is whether Trump would dare name a replacement in advance of the election. Huge risk... thus, highly unlikely.

@andy58-in-nh

Hard to tell how that would play out. IF he were to name a solid "no question about it" conservative,the Dim heads would explode,but the flip side is those on the right would be throwing parties to celebrate.

I kinda like the idea of a per-election nomination putting pressure on the Semi-Republicans to come out and make a stand for,or against a conservative justice,just days before they have to face the voters.

[dfwgator]

100% agree. I see this as lousy timing.

It cuts both ways,  especially if Trump picks a good candidate that fires up the base.

You might as well add Pierre Delecto to that list.
