That’s it 2020. I’m done. I have nothing left to give. You got it

ill say this brehs: that tweet from murkowski confirms that it wont happen before the election. collins, grassley, and just 1 more and they wont have the votes

SO

if trump loses, mitch 1000 percent tries it in the lame duck session. so if the dems win the WH and senate, they openly challenge him that if he does it then they'll pack the courts. a lame duck justice will be seen as cheap and pathetic, by the way

the dems can still get out of this

What does that mean? Can we block an appointment until the election is decided?

you know what the dems need to do? openly make the threat to pack the court if mitch goes back on his own words from 2016. say that if mcconnell doesnt follow his own rules, then they dont care about them either

its the only play i see. let mitch put a judge on, knowing he'll be signing onto packing the court

they’ve been warning republicans about this shyt

“If they show that they’re unwilling to respect precedent, rules and history, then they can’t feign surprise when others talk about using a statutory option that we have that’s fully constitutional in our availability,” he said. “I don’t want to do that. But if they act in such a way, they may push it to an inevitability. So they need to be careful about that.” - Tim Kaine



let’s hope they got the balls to do it

I respect you trying to be optimistic but they’ve hit us with the okey-doke far too many times to get the benefit of the doubt.
They won't replace her before the election. They'll do it in the lame duck session after.

With the rational they used before the last election directly going against their own logic will have severe consequences. If they lose the senate and the filibusterer is removed the dems will make PR and DC states and that may very well prevent the republicans from ever getting the senate back.

There goes the Supreme Court for the rest of our lives :francis:

But her emails tho :francis:
I’d argue the pathetic 2014 turnout hurt more than 2016.


Doesn’t matter. The republicans don’t care about your feelings when they are too busy fukking you and the next several generations. We gonna have to take the L and expand the court. I gave you shyt but now more than ever these nikkas will really have to “wield power” no fukks given when they win....

this shyt really got me tight

Expanding the court is really the only way to go. Unfortunately, Biden is old school and not going to do that. And look at the makeup of Senate Dems. They really gonna do that?
