Ram Trumps nominee thru the Senate before the election with
extreme prejudice.
“... filling the SCOTUS vacancy during a lame-duck session, after the American people have voted for new leadership...”
Getting ahead of yourself, dude.
The Rats heads are literally exploding ! WINNING !
The Democrats did this under their founder Jackson in the 1830’s.
That led to the Taney Supreme Court, the Dred Scott decision and the civil war.
Does history repeat itself?
We can play the same game.
Typical Liberals... I can’t win-so I’ll cheat and change the rules
What would be great entertainment would be if trump gets re-elected (I think he won’t, due mainly to vote fraud), and if the Republicans hold the senate (i think they don’t because they’re generally useless), the Republicans should try to pack the court. Nominate 5 more justices all at once.
Then grab some popcorn and sit back and watch the libs, dems and mediwhores raging hypocrisy.
I guess that means it’s okay for us to expand the Supreme Court right now - this month.
Don’t fill the Seat or we’ll shoot this Dog.
FDR tried this and was shot down by his own party, every major position.
Problem here is that the liberals/socialist are openly trying to create a political hold on the court rather than allowing the justices to review law. This has led to the justices using or determining law based upon political theology and not determined law. Ginsburg herself had said she had in the past used foreign law to determine her decisions on cases. They are there to apply criminal and Constitutional law, not politically create law from the bench. So they are not representing the will of the people, they are changing rules the people created for a political gain being created rather than existing laws. Politically, they should be neutral at that level.

Scenario: A Dem is POTUS and Justice Clarence Thomas dies. What would Dems do?
Maybe WE should expand the court.
Democrat controlled the courts for decades... as soon as we might have control they not only want to quit and take their ball home - they want to destroy the system.
Let’s beat ‘em to it. Expand the court to 300 conservatives... or 10,000. Maybe every Republican on the planet...
What’s next?
Are democrats going to threaten to burn our cities down and loot our stores? Oh wait, guess they’ve used that one... Maybe burn our forest? Oh wait. Kill our children? They would if they could..
Democrat are a crime family.
“If Sen. McConnell and [the] Senate GOP were to force through a nominee during the lame-duck session—before a new Senate and president can take office—then the incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court,”
Sounds like Nadless let the cat out of the bag. The fix is in, so they think.
The incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court.
When you thing you have the game rigged things go to crap.
With all this talk about expanding the Supreme Court Trump should (jokingly) suggest expanding the Supreme Court by millions - All registered republicans as of Nov 3 2020 to be group nominated.
For icing on the cake suggest that all future Supreme Court cases can be decided by mail in ballots.
Nads is all about expansion
