That is a hypothetical idea.
What we are faced with now is a REAL SC Opening.
Move on it and get it done before the election.
We will need that seat to sort out the election chaos,
massive mail in ballot voter fraud in key battleground
states and the litigation that is coming.
The SC will be called upon to sort it out.
Onward to victory.
If democrats pull off massive voter fraud, open the borders to third world voters, destroy the electoral college - yeah, they could be in power forever and ending the filibuster would just be icing on the cake...
Communists can’t create decent countries, but they know how to hang onto power...
The Romneyites were out in full force last night.
The biggest reason to push through this nomination is to offset the election shenanigans that the Democrats have planned at the ballot box.
Yep. We will need that seat filled before the election.
The SC will be called upon to sort it out.
Cruz’s comments were spot on.
Agreed
OH! HOLY FATHER,
Your plan, the plan we see before us, is surely the most
brilliant plan You have ever placed on the table.
We pray to live to see fruition and can only see our adversaries via the rear view mirror (leaving them to wallow in their moist misery)
Once again, thank You for our President Trump (the man You chose to lead us from the darkness).
PRAISE! be to You!
Our Motto: “In GOD we trust”.
We wouldn’t have a problem with the Supreme Court if patriots would elect a Congress that would do its job to impeach and remove corrupt justices.
Vote Republican ticket!
“If you can’t deliver a Supreme Court confirmation with a 53-47 Senate majority, then your political party shouldn’t even exist.”
If things were reversed, 53-47 Democrats, how many Democrats would vote to confirm their nominee?
FIFTY THREE! Not a doubt in my mind.
Gee, how does one react to seeing a picture of an evil bastard that he thought he would never see again?
I’m not thanking you! The only joy in that picture is
seeing Reid in pain. What a vile example of evil, he is.
-------------------------------------------
The death of Ruth Ginsberg offers a unique opportunity of the type that President Trump has always thrived on. He will take full advantage of it. Because of her strong pro-life Catholic/Christian beliefs, Judge Amy Coney Barrett may be the only person on earth whom the left hates and fears more than they hate and fear President Trump. The unspoken but clear threat of a Barrett nomination might have been the impetus for Senate Democrats to allow the inquisition of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to finally come to an end. Schumer and his caucus knew that, from their point of view, anyone was better than Barrett, so they finally knuckled under. Now they are getting her, just before THE election of our lives.
We are barely more than 40 days from an election that will change the history of America as no election since 1860 has done. The timeline as well as the circumstances favor our side as we have not been favored before.
The political equation shows very little down- side for Trump, in a Barrett appointment.
Consider: We have a President who will not listen to empty political whining from the left. Because they have attacked Trump for over five years without a day of respite, the media and the left have no sway over his decision- making process. This turn of events now forces every Republican (with the probable exception of Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney and Susan Collins) to stand together with arms locked to defend the right of the President to do what he has promised and appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court.
The issue of appointments to the Court now takes center stage in this election and it will remain so until November 3. The expected howls from Democrats will only serve to hammer home the points about the need to build a strong young conservative Supreme Court, Trump has made for the last five years. The expected delaying tactics from the left will be totally transparent even to the most casual voter.
Those tactics will push the percentage of Evangelical voter support for Trump passed its already stunning 91% and widen the base of this crucial voting bloc. Given her strong Catholic faith, Judge Barrett’s appointment, brings her fellow Catholics still more reason to support Trump. The winner of the Catholic vote has won each of the last six elections. Trump won Catholics 52/45 and even before this, there was little reason to believe Biden could do better.
For the first time since Sandra Day O’Connor was appointed by President Reagan, Republican women will have one of their own to support for confirmation. This also forces the so- called independent voters to actually make a decision based on real, not hypothetical grounds.
Appointing Barrett will do little to grow Joe Biden’s base because it is already built on hatred for Trump and our conservative values. They were NOT drifting toward, or warming up to, Donald Trump. If anything, this will confirm their maniacal hated for him; but there is no way they will now hate him more.
This timeline also gives Trump the opportunity to demand that Biden name his likely appointees to the Court. This is no longer an issue Biden can dodge by calling it a hypothetical. It is now a real and unavoidable question that demands an answer.
The timeline favors Trump as well. He will undoubtedly announce his nominee, presumably Barrett, by Monday afternoon at a news conference with Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders at his side.
This will immediately generate the attacks Trump will use to make the point that the confirmation process has already begun. That will take the wind out of Schumer’s sails when he tries to assert, “We have to wait until after Inauguration Day for such an important confirmation.” The left could make that case only if they had the self -restraint to remain silent on this issue which is simply not possible because they hate and fear Trump and Barrett so much.
Once the president announces the appointment, McConnell will announce the process will begin on Wednesday September 30th. That provides enough time to get past the various funeral services and commemorative gatherings the left will hold. It will also be the day after the first debate when Trump will have demanded to see Biden’s short list to fill the vacancy.
In the meanwhile, Barrett will have made some of the requisite courtesy visits to various Senators. This will provide another great opportunity for Trump as there will be so many Democrat Senators who will refuse to receive her. Trump will be all over that opportunity to show how the left has no plans of allowing his choice to be confirmed, now or at any time.
The necessary Committee work will be done on Thursday October 1st. They will recommend the confirmation be debated and voted on by the full Senate. McConnell will set the first day of deliberations and questioning for October 6th. He will use the Harry Reid (thank you Harry) “nuclear option” that will settle the question using a simple majority. He will also limit the time each Senator gets to question Judge Barrett. The Democrats will show themselves to be completely angry and scary. They will be ugly and disgraceful. Their conduct will make the Kavanaugh hearings look like a church social. They will destroy themselves in the eyes of the majority of voters. Senator Harris will show her strong anti-Catholic hatred and show America why she must never be allowed to run our lives.
Finally, a vote will take place on Monday October 19th. In this vote, Murkowski, Romney, and Collins will vote NO. No Democrats will vote yes. This will create a 50/50 tie which will be broken by Vice President Mike Pence and the nomination will carry.
Why will it be so short? The Democrats who are in danger like Peters of Michigan and Jones of Alabama will have to return to the campaign trail as will others who will just want to “get this over with,” to start to try to repair the damage the likes of Cory Booker and the viciously ant-Catholic Senator Mazie Hirono will have done to the Democrat brand. Republicans like Cory Gardner, Susan Collins and Martha McSally will need to get out on the road as well.
This is yet another “Heads Trump wins, tails the Democrats lose.”
I think you should plan on all 3 of them caving to Mitch. Plus 1 or 2 Democrat senators.
Yup
Mitt will go with what his constituents want in this case, they may hate Trump in Utah, but even they understand the importance of this SCOTUS pick.
Now all he has to do is get rid of Chief Justice Roberts.
I want to read this whole thread but need to do some work. In the meantime, inside I’m screaming, “THANK GOD FOR PRES. TRUMP, HE IS A GIFT FROM OUR LORD TO THIS NATION,
I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!
“What I don’t get is Alaska. How do you guys keep that fool in the Senate? Maine too.”

Must be due to brain freeze.....I hear it gets cold up in those parts of the country :)
We’re not pearl clutchers.
what is the point when you KNOW the Representatives are going to hold this up as much as possible, cheering on the narrow-minority Senate to hold the nominee hostage for 2 months?
Which, BTW, is enough time to get Dem pres and Dem Congress firmly in place which negates it all right away.
