Why is everyone losing their minds here? Get the nomination, jam some hearings in before the election, vote the appointee out, have the vote after the election.
This Supreme Court position is more important than the re-election. It gives us 5 votes, no need for traitor Roberts.

Like the Catholic Church, they don’t care who pays the tithes. The career politicians do things to re-elected, the churches (who are dying in a lot of places) are desperate for butts in pews. Importing illegals or whatever people into the country can be converted and taxed/tithed.

It’s the economic survival of the non-profits.

Collins and Murkowski. Wow, big surprise.

*************

That might put them both in the awkward position of voting against a fellow Catholic woman.

Mitt might have some “conditions” to be satisfied before he would vote to confirm.


He will support a corportist nominee. A social conservative almost certainly not. The SCOTUS is breaking down into two camps: corportists and leftists. The GOP wants social issues off the SCOTUS agenda because their big donors long ago surrendered to the left on them.

If the Dems are allowed to count votes after the election it is too late. Some of these issues need to get to the court before Nov 3rd.

Correct. She’s toast if she thinks going against this critical appointment will earn her any R votes. She truly is a moron.

And is why President Trump should appoint a conservative black women to the seat. And make them vote her down.

In “fairness to the American people” and the elections, you let the president pick the justices up until the last second of his term.

Period.

*************

Correct. The American people voted for the president to perform his duties for four years, not a fraction of the fourth year.

She’s a goner no matter what she does, so it’s a shame she chose to end her career with a bad decision.
