Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passes away at 87

Barbara Lagoa, the Cuban Floridian judge on the 11th circuit's confirmation votes last September. 80-15.

(Note: Booker, Bernie, Warren, Harris, KLob didn't vote as they were all running in the primary)

U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 116th Congress - 1st Session

 

[King Static X]

Posturing. She knows her vote isn't needed.

Murkowski also seems to be a NO. Murkowski + Collins + Mark Kelly (if he gets elected) means that any judge appointed by Trump won't get passed in the lame duck session.

Obviously, Collins is fickle though

 

[wire28]

my other hope is they wait to start everything up until after the election during a lame duck

and the republican senators who hopefully will have lost (collins, etc) and romney will take the opportunity to finally be able to fukk over trump, be petty and vote down whoever he puts up as they will have nothing to lose at that point

 

[God Almighty]

I’m sure the Democrats were prepared for this.

We'll see what Romney says, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for that to hold.

They'd fukk around and get assassinated by some crazy MAGA

Doubt it. They would want those comfy consulting jobs for conservative think tanks and whatnot.

What part of "grifters" and "not your friends" did you not understand?

Need Romney to say No, I dont trust murkowski during lame duck.


Also none of them said they would vote no

I think she and Romney wouldn’t cave. The rest probably will and Mitch is betting on that.

Like I said last night, he’s going to sacrifice many of the competitive candidates by jamming this through ASAP.

[the cac mamba]

this might be the greatest thing to happen to the democratic party in modern history

i dont give a fukk where you are on the spectrum. if its left of center, youre appalled by this, meaning the party is about to unify like nothing its ever seem. all that purity shyt is out the window

and what they go on to do with that power if they win

 

[Pressure]

This is a dream situation for the Lincoln project. They get their pick for the bench and publicly get to rally against it to try and gain favor with dems for the next admin

This.

 

[SnugglesDaBear]

Lincoln Project and traditional Republicans have to be ecstatic.

Their going to get their 6-3 court PLUS Trump the fukk up out of here.

If Republicans hold on to the Senate, then Dems can't do anything about the court for at least 2 years. Therefore, I expect The Lincoln Project to immediately pull back on their attacks on those 5-6 Republican Senators they've targeting the last few months.

Plus, with Biden most likely only serving one term, the Republicans have a pretty good shot at winning the WH again in 2024. This time with a more traditional Republican like Hawley.....whoever wins the '24 election, will most likely be replacing Samuel A. Alito and Clarence Thomas. This is a fukking disaster waiting to happen.

Schumer will be forced to fight, not because he wants to, but because Democratic power is being threatened right now like never before.

 

[No1]

This.

Yeah, shyt is a joke.
