He should also pre-emptively nominate Ruth Buzzie Ginsbergs replacement, as she is essentially at death’s door.
Poor democrats you lost.
What was Ginsberg thinking? Should’ve retired and been replaced by Obama, not knowing the future. It’s got to be a God thing.
I can easily think of at lease half a dozen Republicans who will vote against removing the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees.
I'm thinking that sometimes the leftist ego trumps the duty to execute the leftist agenda.
If the GOP wouldn't allow Garland a hearing what makes you think they would have allowed a Ginsburg replacement a hearing?
Yep, at least that many.
We'll just stay at 8 until Ginsberg dies and then we'll have a more reasonable 7.
Or possibly she doesn’t have any respect for Obama. Broken clock.
TRUMP should nominate Don Willett the guy that mocked him on Twitter
“Dingy Harry is about to learn the hard way a lesson republicans have also learned the hard way.”
Reid is gone. He doesn’t really care what happens at this point. He got his and that’s all that counts.
Mcconnell sucks! He said he wants to go back to needing 60 votes even for lower judges. I can’t stand him.
I suspect that they will have to drag her stiffening corpse off the bench before she ever steps down voluntarily.
Don’t count on McCain, Graham, Flake and other assorted RINOS to have the filibuster removed.
Oh for God’s sake, if it wasn’t for McConnell’s brilliant gamble, Garland would be sitting on a liberal court RIGHT NOW.
We have to suffer under the tyranny of Ginsburg and the grotesquely unqualified social justice warrior Sotomayor.
Another Scalia would be nice.
Hmmm. I still don’t trust him.
Look ppl, if not for McConnell there would BE no nomination because the court would be full.
And why nominate a hard core conservative, who may not get confirmed, occupy lots of coverage, waste time, WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THEY’LL STAY CONSERVATIVE a la Roberts.
Nominate a right of center, confirmable judge and hope there is no drift leftward once on the court. Done.
Yes, this THIS is the article to read, and I have never in my life wanted so much to reply to old comment threads. You simply must read some of them. We shall honor Harry Reid, despite his unhinged mind, with the Reid precedent. Certainly for cabinet confirmations, and likely for the supreme court. http://forums.talkingpointsmemo.com/t/discussion-harry-reids-parting-shot-dems-will-nuke-the-filibuster-for-scotus/45690
Barely a month ago they were talking about how they would gleefully go ‘nuclear’ when they take back the senate.
