That was a long long time ago in a galaxy far away before she gave in to the dark side and became Darth Bader Ginsgurg.

This morning Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. For such a non-controversial figure, Gorsuch experienced the full might of the Democratic Party’s attack machine. Still sour at Senate Republicans blocking Merrick Garland, Obama’s first pick to fill the vacancy left by the late Antonin Scalia, through the Biden rule—the Left was determined to stop Gorsuch at all costs. Despite having broad support from across the spectrum in the legal scholar realm—Obama’s former solicitor general supported his nomination—and the highest rating from the American Bar Association, Democrats formed a united front to stop him. They had the votes to block Gorsuch through a procedural hurdle, denying Senate Republicans the 60 votes needed to invoke cloture and move to the final confirmation vote. As a result, Senate Republicans nuked the rules, allowing for Gorsuch to be confirmed by a simple majority. Not liking someone because a Republican president nominated him or her isn’t a good enough reason to block a judge. Democrats learned that the hard way.
Now, should a second vacancy occur, a) Republicans will not have as much trouble to confirm this person; and b) the composition of the Court could become more decidedly conservative. This is why it was probably best for the Democrats to keep their powder dry, but we’ve crossed that bridge.

I agree- Ivanka isn’t a “shadow” POTUS like VJ was- and besides: why would Ivanka want to do ANYTHING for the Liberals when they despise her?
She may lean left but if I was her, I would find a few pet projects to work on/support, but do nothing for the Dems in general.
That was a long long time ago in a galaxy far away before she gave in to the dark side and became Darth Bader Ginsgurg.
The 9th circus is already down four justices. Filling those positions with conservatives would seriously help balance the court. But apparently they can’t get anyone willing to join. Can you blame them?
Several on that list need to be moved up to the circuit court of appeals empty seats. There are way too many. !
Give it up, Scalia was not murdered.
Total BS.
Why would you bargain when you hold the cards?
Some people still don’t understand that we won and with the right moves will keep winning.
She would not be convicted in Impeachment action even if she were Impeached. Too many RATs in the Senate.
Her absence from the Court would be noted even by the Deaf/Dumb/and Blind RATmedia.
It is obvious that Trump is in charge no matter what nutcases claim.
George’s carpenter build her a bed under her desk.
Give it up, Scalia was not murdered.

Oh, Yes He Was .
He is just a crank but serves a good purpose when in doubt about an issue, just take the opposite tack he does.
Yeah, 230-40 # rather short man has a heart attack let the Guinness Book of World Records know about this stunner.
How do you know? Maybe..Maybe not.
Trump’s base is NOT going to stay home, you can forget that. The real problem is that the Left is constantly organizing and planning for the next election. Satan Never Sleeps.
Anyone stupid enough to stay home doesn’t understand that.
Neither is running squat, you nitwit. Trump makes his own decisions about everything whether you believe it or not.
Where do you wingnuts get your information, information which is the of information?
Seems like one or both of those two have diabetes.
Groovy, lets put flowers in our rifle barrels, too.
