Um, Lindsay Graham, who is taking over Judiciary, said that NO nominees named in 2020 will be even voted upon, let alone seated in that entire election year. Either The Repulsive RBG dies in 2019, or we will have to hold our breath until Election Day 2020.
If RBG goes, Trump doesn’t have to be in a hurry to replace her. It will be a 5-3 Court. Just need to keep Roberts in line.
One thing I’ve noticed since John McCain’s funeral is that Lindsey can now be talked to. Just have a couple of Southern senators pull him aside and explain to him the dangers of being an “out” homosexual politician in the Bible belt. As the late Don Rickles as “Sergeant Crapgame” said to Telly Savalas as “Sergeant Big Joe” in Kelly’s Heroes about the German tank commander blocking their way to the bank and the gold within: Crapgame:
Try making a DEAL!
Big Joe:
What kind of DEAL?
Crapgame:
A DEAL, deal! Maybe he’s a Republican. You know, “Business is business.”
