The democrats have always planned to stack the supreme court, why pretend it was ever any different?

FDR tried it. I guess the Dems think it is a good time to try again.

“The dems are filled with double standards.”


And if they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.

I have mixed emotions: on the one hand, Murkowski is not wrong (God, how I HATE saying that) and we ought not to appear to be a bunch of hypocritical SOBs; but, OTOH, the Dems play dirty EVERY single time they get the opportunity and I’m sick to death of playing by the Marquis de Queensberry’s Rules when they play by whatever rules that they find convenient at any point in time.

You know what...screw it, nominate and confirm away. The Dems will NEVER play fair, and it is way past time for them to get some payback for all of the crap that they’ve pulled for the last 30+ years. I haven’t forgotten what they did to Bork and Justice Thomas - that’s what started the dirty pool WRT the Judiciary.

It doesn’t matter. Ruth Buzzard has clung to life long enough to ensure there is not enough time to confirm her replacement before 2021.

Lets not go looking for troubles. The troubles of today are sufficient for today. We are what, 90 days to the election? I really doubt that a SCOTUS judge will pass and that a nominanee will be decided and submitted and voted on

... before the election

And if President Trump wins, it is all a moot point so no need for the hand wringing.

This b!tch lost all credibility when she voted against Kavanaugh’s confirmation. What different does it make if the GOP has a double standard, or 25 different standards? She demonstrated clearly that she has NO standards.

No double standard. You own the Senate you decide when judges cume up for votes.

Murkowski knows that this is the pick that will actually change the Supreme Court. Until now, she knew that Roberts was there to protect killing babies and that he had the power to stop any ruling that offends the deep state too much.

The next appointment makes Robert’s job much much harder.

And I can think of half a dozen who would vote against him. Romney, Murkowski, Alexander, Collins, and a few more who really hate Trump.

You may be right but at that point Trump would be a spent force and the internal argument would be for party loyalty.

Not really sure how coherent the party looks post Trump.

Murcowski is irrefutable proof that the combination of evil and stupidity is a horrifyingly ugly thing to see.

The electorate will decide in November whether the President's a lame duck or not.

Unlike Obama in 2016, who was already a lame duck. With the Senate in the control of the other party.

So there's no logic to it other than it's what McConnell said?

There is plenty of logic. After getting rolled for 30 years, the Republicans finally decided to play hardball. I hope they continue. Even if it makes you sad.
