Amazing to see that some liberal radical types, now are hating on Justice Kennedy for having the audacity to retire.
After he gave them key deciding votes on some key issues such as homosexual marriage, now he’s dead to them.
who is going to be Ted Kennedy, and give the “Robert Bork’s America” speech, and try to derail the nomination right off the bat????
I think that speech is already written.
“In (fill in the blank name) America, women will be impaled on coat hangers. In fact (fill in the blank) is in favor of women being impaled on coat hangars. (fill in the blank) will take away all of our freedoms. (fill in the blank) will be a rubber stamp for the evil Trump agenda. (fill in the blank) wants to repeal the 1st amendment freedoms we all hold dear. (fill in the blank) will rubber stamp Trump locking children in cages.”
etc. etc
the speech is already written. They just have to fill in the name of the nominee.
I think that McConnell being attacked, while going to lunch, is basically going to solidify the GOP to elect whomever Trump picks.
I don’t like McConnell, but I can’t see him siding with Dems after that.
She's guaranteed to if her vote is the “critical” vote....
it's already baked into the cake....
The title is misleading, it is the continued meltdown over this one seat. I have no crystal ball, however Breyer is no spring chicken and Buth is really really getting up their and not looking well regardless of all the talk of her workout routine and surviving pancreatic cancer. Can you imagine if one of these two or Caygan with her health problems have to resign or pass on in the near future, what that melt down will be?
This will not be as big of a meltdown than when Trump gets to replace one of the clearly liberal justices in his next 6 years, which is very likely given the health issues of Kagan and Ginsburg.
I’m wondering that Kennedy didn’t choose the timing in hopes of giving the Democrats something to run on.
Wait until RBG falls asleep in her soup or Sotomayor goes into diabetic shock. Or both.
Chris may not have noticed, but the Democrat Party base has shrunk. It’s now mostly minorities, single women and the LBGQ constituencies. Oh, and a few p-whipped ‘men’ like him. Not really a recipe for continued electoral success.
I am sure McCain will use this chance to screw us a final time.
Did either Murkowski or Collins vote no on Gorsuch? Then why would they vote no now?
It doesn’t matter hat you do, tingle-boy.
You don’t have the numbers.
We just need to make sure NO one on the GOP wavers. And I don’t think they will. Not this time.
You have to see this:
i’m already looking past this second epic meltdown, and looking forward to the third one, which should be a real doozy ... the level of hatred, violence, and insanity should be enough that Dems won’t control the Fed government for at least the next generation or two ...
I don’t know how many here have seen this specific meltdown by Chris Matthews over the Democrats’ roll in the upcoming nomination process, but it is a MUST-SEE.
In utter fear and rage over the High Court moving to the right, he is demanding that Democrats stop the process from going forward.
It’s hilarious to watch the host, Steve Kornacki, try to handle him.
I like how the other commentator, calmly and rationally, says that unfortunately for the Democrats, there’s nothing they can do about the nominee going forward.

Evangelicals elected Trump,Evangelicals want Amy Barrett to be the nominee. Everyone one his short list would be great. But the battle is now and the troops want Barrett.
One can always count on the Democrats to seek the moral lowground.
Biden made up a rule? Let him follow it.
I thought the Biden rule was buy a shotgun.
