Rape hoax or not, we can be guaranteed that the left will be in the streets if they think they will lose their SCOTUS majority. And I’m not entirely confident that McConnell will even want an originalist majority. Don’t forget that the fake conservatism of the political establishment is just a cover for the GOP edition of the welfare/warfare state. And of course plan B for the Dems is impeachment of Kavanaugh, Plan C is declaring all of Trump’s judges Russian agents, plan D is increasing the number of SCOTUS justices. Etc etc.

I believe she never was in the legal profession, just a regular Joe, a complete illiterate on the COnstitution or law, puppet plucked out for the office. And then we have lawyers running banks and who knows what running the FBI or our military...

Why not have a maximum limit on cases they can accept each year? Maybe we could get better, more well thought out decisions? If there were a unanimous vote by all 9 judges to bust the cap and accept a particular case, they could.
If there’s one conservative and one “liberal” on the Court, unanimity is rare. Limiting the number of cases they can accept would seem to be an engine for allowing worse lower court decisions - of the Ninth Circus variety - to stand.

Wait. I thought RBG was in “great health” and that the “cancer is gone.”

At least that’s what we’re told...

IOW, you better not appoint an originalist, or anything like one.

Memorial Sloan Kettering is one of the best facilities for cancer treatment, so that boosts her chances a bit.

b. Who cares? Elections MATTER, right, Libtards?

c. Get yourself a JFK candidate again and you’ll be back in the game. NO ONE is buying your 24/7/365 Communist Cr#pola!

d. Buh-Bye! :)

What would happen if POTUS actually nominated Mittens? He’d get destroyed by the Rats during the confirmation process and be forced to withdraw with his tail between his legs. Win-win.

“If that is the way its gotta be. So be it. Whether our side realizes it or not, we are in a fight for our lives. It is not President Trump they hate, it is us. He only personalizes us. If one of us does not believe that we are in a fight for our lives, let them win. They will enlighten you shortly”.

Very well put and exactly right.

I don’t think enough on our side really realize the seriousness of the situation. It’s deadly serious.

“..Only liberals would (attempt to) tear this country apart...”

It’s coming anyway, whether that old crone kicks off or not.

We can’t coexist with those people any longer. It’s like being locked in a room with a psychopath; the minute you turn your back, it’s on you like an animal.

They’re just waiting for the “go” word from their handlers. Just a matter of time.

Not an option, Dawg Brother. :^)

We’re Americans. Backing down isn’t in our blood.

“RBG scare: David Axelrod warns Supreme Court vacancy fight could ‘tear this country apart’”

not if the GOP Senate hangs tough and refuses to allow the same kind of bullshit that was pulled on Kavanaugh ... if they hang tough and refuse to allow the hearings to turn into a circus, then there’s no edge to pry up and turn into a carnival of hate ...
