Who is surprised by this? They have no desire to work with Democrats and will do whatever in the moment to strengthen the Republican party.

How? In some alternative reality you discovered with the Time Stone?




Once again you're absolutely full of shyt. He made up a set of arbitrary conditions that have zero constitutional basis and have never been stated as a reason for not confirming a SC justice in the 245 years history of this country. And even with his made-up arbitrary conditions, there is precedent for confirming the justice, so he has to throw out, "Well, it hasn't happened since the 1880s though!"

You know what he neglected to say? Do you know how many times a SC justice has died 9 months or more before a presidential election and the senate has refused to vote on a nominee? NONE. NOT fukkING ONCE HAS A SENATE MAJORITY LEADER EVER PULLED THAT BULLshyt THAT LONG BEFORE AN ELECTION.
“I don't think either party if it controlled, if it were different from the president, would confirm a Supreme Court nominee in the middle of an election.”

:yeshrug:I think this is facts.

That's a meaningless statement. I think pretty much everyone here knows the Democrats wouldn't have refused to vote on a Supreme Court nomination a full 9 months before an election. Not to mention then turned around and confirmed the next one just 3 months before the election. You're talking about the party that let Clarence fukking Thomas get a Supreme Court seat just 13 months before the election when they held a massive 57-43 Senate majority.

So McConnell yells that this only concern is strengthening his party and Manchin still got his head in the sand.


Who exactly would take up the Republican Senate spot if McConnell croaked tomorrow?

He just needs to see Democratic party bipartisanship and he'll change his mind. He's not serious.

They really need to get that guy to retire this year in order to secure the next SC seat. If he waits it out like Ginsberg, we’re screwed.

If Desantis runs, I think he’ll get a lot of those Never Trump Republicans and moderates back.
