Not sure how it is political suicidal to get it done before the election. You may know more than I do. Please explain. Why better after election than before ? If it could be done.


Independent voters would be outraged about such an unseemly nomination process .

Trump better lay off for his own good .

Which is not in his character .



These are not normal times .

Let the PEOPLE decide through the ballot box .

Win or lose .

To do otherwise would only damage Republicans across the country .




The ballot box is being adulterated by Democrats through ballot harvesting, no voter ID and universal mail-in voting pushed to facilitate election fraud. If Trump wins, he will have won by a far wider majority than we will see. There's a good chance SCOTUS will have a say in this. There's no reason to play by honorable Republican rules any longer. It's time the Republicans started playing politics like Democrats. The Republicans can no longer let tradition and honor dictate how they play politics. They are in the mud with pigs...they need to start makin' bacon.


The Republicans have been playing equally dirty politics for a long time. Its why they continue to win even without a majority of the votes. It's why Garland is not a supreme court judge.
They're dirty because they won the electoral vote? You may need to check your copy of the constitution for a typo. That's the way it's done.

Maybe the dems should've put up a better candidate that you know... would've actually campaigned.

I love how liberals automatically assume that if this country elected a president by popular vote, Trump would've lost.



I'm talking about more than Trump. I'm talking about Gerrymandering. A disdain for absentee voting. Purging voter roles. I was purged off the voter register last cycle. I had to register again upon my next visit back to the US. Why did this happen?

Both parties disgust me, but I think I'm to the point that I'll never vote Republican again. I havent in 12 years but this election cycle solidifies it for me for good. Mitch McConnell is the scum of the earth along with Schumer and Pelosi, but McConnell takes the cake. Worst American alive right now.
So both parties suck... but republicans suck worse? That about sum it up? Gotcha.

You had to register to vote again because there are multitudes of dead people that miraculously vote Democrat in every single election and Republicans are just trying to make a small dent in the voter fraud.

More evidence that none of these ****ers (read all politicians) have any principles. Their values depend on whatever's politically expedient.

But the saddest part is that partisan voters are no better/different, and this thread is proof. Y'all don't even deny the hypocrisy. You're just OK with it if/when your team is winning. It's gross.

When you say hypocrisy, you mean playing by the same amoral, no holds barred dishonorable tactics the Democrats have used since the Republicans took away their slaves and forced their kids into integrated schools. It's about time the Republicans stopped hamstringing themselves to the evil socialists and fought back using the same tactics.

The funny bit is, that's why the left hates Trump so much. He plays by their rules and they can't stand equality. They want double standards. Democrats are evil.

Do you think if McConnell had allowed a vote on Garland (which he should have), that Garland would have been confirmed by a Republican-majority Senate?

... Probably because you don't live in the US. As a US citizen living abroad, there is a special procedure for you to request an absentee ballot that is easily found with a Google search.

People who threaten like this twitter dude will be easy to find if he does it in real time. Free speech to tweet hate. I have read that RBG was encouraged to retire during the Obama administration but she chose not to. They felt it would be easier to replace her at that time. She felt Hillary would win. So she stayed on until now. Her hope was that her replacement would be by next president elect.
Sorry but I do not get how being nice and deferring to her wants is best for the country . It's really up to Trump to decide what to do. He is current President. The way he has been treated by Democrats I doubt he gives them an inch.

It's a bad idea to not try and fill it now.

For too many decades, the Republicans have tried to "lead" out of fear of what political ramification may (or may not) come about. They've been chickenchit long enough.

It's time to do their damn job.


When the political ramification is actually the stability of our republic, then it's a perfect example of why the only party that cares about the republic should place that agenda above winning a game of political tug of war. Some of us recognize the fragility of SCOTUS's authority and power and if it's lost then this experiment is over.

Ask yourself this. Does China and Russia want Trump to nominate someone? The answer is Yes and the reason is because they want to destabilize this Country.

That's fully insane.

1. China is agitating for Biden.
2. Russian trolls were less effective than Arby's marketing teams and had no effect in any swing state
3. Making any domestic decision on someone's guess about what a third country wants is stupid. We decide our domestic policy.
4. Allowing another leftist to rape the constitution would be too (actually) damaging to our nation to allow.

You just need to admit that we are heading towards a national divorce and this is throwing more fuel on the fire. If you are fine with that and the US officially dying, whatever.

I just hate that we have become so cynical and hateful.

So, do you think Trump should not nominate a replacement?
I think Merrick Garland should be a supreme court justice right now ... and agree with Lindsey Graham in the video above. The Republicans set a precedent with the Garland bull**** . To ramrod a conservative justice through now would be hypocrisy of the highest order.

And just for the record, had Garland had a hearing and been confirmed as he should have been as a perfectly qualified and reasonable judge, I would be arguing the opposite now and defending Trump's right to appoint a justice.

I would love for all branches of government to get back to fulfilling their constitutionally defined roles -- especially congress, which has been ceding its duties to the executive for way too long. So in theory, I support the president's constitutional right to fill whatever supreme court vacancies occur during their term -- regardless of when they come open. But Mitch McConnell shat on the constitution in 2015. And to reverse course five years later because it's politically advantageous to his party would expose he and many others for the frauds they are and further divide a country that's already on the verge of splitting.

IMO the Democrats lost any chance of talking hypocrisy after what they've tried to do the last 4-5 years and the corruption they've been involved in.

They colluded w/ the media to spy on Trump and pull off a coup and get the fake Mueller investigation started.
Speaking of Mueller - are any of these same Dems calling out hypocrisy sad ONE WORD about the 40+ phones destroyed/wiped clean by the Mueller team?

And don't forget what they did to Kavanaugh

And lastly, impeachment saga while Covid was beginning, they pushed a sham impeachment when their candidate was the one who really should be investigated - Biden & his won w/ their dealings in Ukraine/China.

Democrats have zero moral high ground and never play by the rules, but ask Republicans to.

Unfortunately this is going to help the Dems more than the GOP regardless if there is a nomination and the Senate takes up the vote. She was a cult icon for them and just like GOP didn't want their star judge replaced by a Democrat, they won't want a GOP President replacing RBG.

Knowing what will happen w/ 2 weeks added on to the voting record in swing states, this will not end well and we know how far Democrats/liberals will go to cheat their way to a verdict so Trump might as well move forward since voters spoke and they have the Senate & White House.

So, in one sentence you say that since Obama didn't get his way with Garland, the Trump shouldn't get his way with whoever. (okay, you actually said that if Obama got his way, you'd argue for Trump to get his way) - same difference. And I just don't believe you would.

Then in the next sentence you say that government needs to get back to doing their constitutionally duties.

Okay.

By the way, the country isn't on the verge of splitting... it's been split for quite long term now.

In "theory" you support a president's right to nominate? Either you support the right for Trump to nominate or you don't... The constitution is pretty damn clear.

With regards to McConnell... I supported his right in 2016 to make the decision he made and today I support his right to make whatever decision he makes. It's well within the rules for the Senate Majority Leader to decided the Senate's schedule.

To try and justify your position by using hypocrisy against McConnell is laughable. Even if McConnell voted on Garland in 2016, you liberals would be saying the exact same thing today about waiting until after the election - don't fool yourself.

How does the timing of this death and subsequent nomination compare to M Garland?

Garland was nominated by Obama 8 months before the election. If someone is pushed through in a month? That's hypocrisy.
Obama was a lame duck President at the end of his second term. Trump has four more years. Not apples to apples.
