With shit as stupid as it is right now, it's more important than ever to lock down the SCOTUS.

I think the U.S. Senate knows that.

 

 

Why?

Oh it wasn't a Craig. I was pointing out that you are a parrot. The line was put out hours ago and yet here you are repeating it like it was your own thought. 

Ok

Don't worry, your Senators will be voting against.

I think she’ll pull through

That's not an answer to my question.

Should Republicans push through a nominee then Dems should play their game once they do get in power. 

Add two new supreme court spots, make PR and DC states, split California in two creating a couple more senators.

They absolutely will. I see the dems adding 5-10 seats next time they have power. We will probably see dems  make US territories into states to make senate impossible to take back. The dems are not overly  concerned with losing the court long term. They will eventually win a presidential election and expand the court. Ruth's death has just potentially shit on their plan to steal this election via supreme court challenges. Roberts would have caved and handed this election to Biden.

Truth though DC and PR should be states.  There is no legitimate argument against it other than it would be bad for Republicans.

There are no coincidences.

There is a real chance (99.99%) that the election will be contested so how does that work with an 8 person SCOTUS? That’s a constitutional crisis in the making 

Although rare, 4-4 ties are hardly unheard-of—justices do recuse themselves from time to time. A split decision effectively upholds the ruling of the lower court (presumably a state supreme court). In the event of such a tie, the court typically issues what's known as a per curiam decision.

So I'm guessing the DC circuit court would rule on the case? Dems have a majority over there and our friend Merrik Garland is one of the judges.

[JarsOfClay]

I still think it will happen. There will be too much pressure on them from their own party and constituents.

My bet is a democratic senator in a state with a republican governor and allows for temporary appointees before a special election dies mysteriously and the governor appoints a lackey to vote for Trumps nominee.

The Republican governor will enlist the Clintons' help?

Thanks for sharing, Craigster.

Politicians are the worst

We all knew that Lindsey Graham was the biggest putz in politics. If Alex Jones' reptilian people conspiracy theory were true, Graham would be one of them.

[tdawg87]

Susan Collins is the biggest c*nt.

Eh. It's a craig but I can't say Trump said anything wrong. That's how a President should react.

I don’t think he did either. I just roll my eyes at people that say this

 

“Don’t ever try to tell me this man doesn’t care.”

I like the Trump nutswingers who still think he's some decent human being.

I respect you more if you admit that he's a total a-hole but you support his politics.

So, Ginsberg died, eh?
