Monday on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin gave credit to his neighbor for making a very good point about the impeachment effort against President Donald Trump. Levin said his neighbor believes that the Democrats want to impeach Trump to have an excuse not to let him appoint another justice to the Supreme Court whether he wins re-election or not.
Ill bet hes right. Ill bet thats part of the calculation, Levin said. That they want to claim that theyve crippled this lawless president, that the Republicans wouldnt remove him from office, and there is no way that the Democrats will ever agree to him making another Supreme Court appointment, either in the next eleven months or, as I say, should he get re-elected and in the four years subsequent to his first term.

EVERYTHING is about keeping the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) intact.
President Trump is a threat to the biggest bipartisan project of the last 30 years.
Meh. Senate controls the confirmations, and the Dems aren’t getting control of the Senate.
Democrats won’t have much say in the matter if Trump is re-elected.
Yes, many times.
THE DEMOCRAT LEADERS ARE DOING THIS IMPEACHMENT AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO KEEP THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF PRISON!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
that’s right
If we control the Senate it doesn’t matter what the Democrats think.

and don’t forget Justice Garland Merrick, or whatever his name was.....
Been saying it ever since this debacle started, which was shortly after RBGs cancer was revealed, August, as a matter of fact. Lets just use a hypothetical.......lets say in August she was given three to six months which would be between November and February. That is she what the rush has been, You can bet, beyond a doubt that, from this point on, they would argue a President under impeachment can not appoint a Supreme.
The Dems dont have a say as long as the Reps have a majority.
In essence todays hearings are the green light to RBG to go ahead and die.
Sure President Trump and Mitch McConnell really care about that
Stop the pearl clutching
That thought occurred to me, as well.
Iff the senate finishes in jan or Feb, he certainly can nominate.
Only 1 thing can constitutionally stop the Senate from confirming another Trump nominee — the impeachment trial itself. The Senate must set aside all other business.
I still think the Democrats will attempt to use the argument, however.
We are being impeached for the crime of voting wrong
And they think Mike Pence’s picks will be any better for them?
How stupid!
Never Trumpin Levin, what are you doing to correct this injustice?
Yes and no. But they’ll keep RBG on puppet strings just in case.
. . . and if the House votes an article of impeachment every day?
