RBG scare: David Axelrod warns Supreme Court vacancy fight could 'tear this country apart'
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug. 23, 2019 | Daniel Chaitin

That didn't take long.

A former Obama adviser set the stage for a potentially nasty confirmation fight in the Senate next year within an hour of the Supreme Court announcing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently completed three weeks of radiation treatment after doctors found a localized cancerous tumor on her pancreas.

Ginsburg, who is 86, has battled various illnesses over the last 20 years. The Supreme Court said in a statement Friday that she “tolerated the treatment well" and concluded that there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body.

The country’s already torn apart. Axelrod’s a bit late on that one.
AND he was a very close partner in the "tearing apart".

“But will there be anyone as tough as Pres. Trump that will want to go through the hell they put Kavanaugh through?”

My reaction to that question was to immediately imagine myself under consideration for such high office. I have zero arrest record other than minor traffic stops and I don’t recall ever being the subject of a negative news story. I have only been mentioned in newspapers in two or three simple announcements such as joining the military upon high school graduation and starting a small business. I am well respected by those who know me but there is no doubt that within a week or less the left wing media could make me look like a demon from hell. The left will use anything they can without regard to truth or any other moral consideration. The right goes into the battle with both hands tied up.

If you listen to Mark Levin, who vetted Souter for Bush, you will see that Souter lied completely and totally deceived the conservative team created to ensure we get a constitutional originalist.

Without a documented track record, I would oppose nominating someone like you.

But, your point about being demonized is 100% correct....the left would find people in your life who would accuse you of all sorts of malfeasance.

The left fabricates stories all the time. You are easy pickings as an unknown.

The Freak-ohmeter of Axelrod and many on the left has gone to a volume of at least 8 and they are headed for above 10 on the knob. This story and the comments (and from from ZeroHedge the other day) has me thinking they have known on the down-low of the details, aka the story from Gateway Pundit about the Bile Stent brings which brings this to a new level. Is it plastic or metal, do we have any medical gnomes here on FR to chime in. Either way the outcome is known if you will. Her mortal coil will be over at some point (and by inference in this article, prehaps sooner) the question begs is when does the instanity ratchet up higher aka a nomination process worse than Kavannaugh's.

She survived pancreatic cancer? Before I read this, I assumed RGB would retire next year, since the Senate wouldn’t choose a Justice during the president’s last year. What reason did they give?

Cruz’s campaign showed a lack of good judgement. I don’t want to see that on the SC. He is good right where he is.

Axelrod and his former boss are the perps.

No, the left would approve of Mittens on the SC. He is one of them.

my wife is a nurse, and we’ve had several neighbors that have had pancreatic cancer. One is a good friend’s dad, she had to get up often in the night to give him a shot of morphine for the few weeks he had left. 2-3 months is a typical life span, and I have never seen a survival, they’re all underground.

Immaturity and constant resort to threats and violence *may* result in a temporary rift, but A) the leftists like Axelrod will lose, and B) if they escalate to violent acts, the ultimate result will be their bodies floating down all the rivers until they reach the oceans.

“...too many that are supposed to on our side refuse to face reality. ...”

Yeah, you’re not wrong on that, for sure.

But I think it’s less refusal and more just plain “Aww, no American would do THAT...”

Years of indoctrination and brainwashing works, in some cases.

But you hit the nail on the head when you said “it is best to take them at their word.” I’ve said it many times before out here; Words MEAN things. When someone tells you they’re going to do something to you, they MEAN it.

Keep yer powder dry.

Maybe these unhinged progessive/libtards/statists/ democrats need to read the constitution on the process on how SCOTUS justices are filled when an opening happens...

It's not we get to pick one and then you get to pick one...

A famous Kenyan once said elections have consequences....

Suck it up cupcakes..
