Don’t sweat it, Murky. Nobody’s going to replace a SCOTUS judge five months before an election. Won’t happen.

Murk seems a little sludgy in her brain. And has been part of the slow moving, perk filled environment of DC for too long.

President Trump has every right to nominate a new justice for Supreme Court should a vacancy open anytime during his term.

Should Trump win in November, all the more reason he should just carry on with the work of President as situations arise.

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

I doubt that would be enough to do it. Senators worry about themselves first and party second.

Kind of like when she lost the (R) election, then ran as an Independent against Palin?

She’s a creep.

You’re being too nice. She’s a traitorous, treacherous, back-stabbing, two-faced, despicable skank. Like that Collins cretin, only slightly worse. Always working to curry favor with the anti-American crowd on the Left.

If the opportunity arises, McConnell should confirm a USSC nominee this year, telling the Democrats that after the last 4 years of them falsely attacking Trump, trying every dirty trick in the book to remove him from office, no legal political act by the Republicans will be denied. What goes around, comes around.

Its not a double standard when you control the Senate. I promise the dimwits would have installed a justice if they controlled the senate during Obama’s last year in office. Thank you Lisa for playing the part of a RINO

Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but Ginsburg vacates her seat in the next month or two, I’d say we have better than a 50% chance of confirming a conservative successor. I’ll assume Murkowski and Romney as defectors, but they still need two more. I think Collins ultimately votes to confirm someone like Amy Coney Barrett.
