The level of hatred and nastiness coming from the Democrats will be worse than ever. Watch and see.

Why did you think it was necessary to post it twice from 2 different sources? Didn’t you believe it the first time?

Just a very small sample of the posts to come.

Remember how many times Arafat died on F.R.?

"As the contentious confirmation process for now Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh was working its way to completion, Senator McConnell clarified the McConnell Rule. Instead of being a blanket rule that prohibits the Senate from taking a Supreme Court nomination into consideration during an election year, the McConnell Rule now states that this only applies when the party in opposition to the President "controls the Senate during a

“Guess we are even up now in the court.We can’t count on Roberts.”

But - NEITHER CAN THEY.

Roberts can join the remaining 3 Democrats and split the court...which means they CANNOT overturn a conservative victory from the lower courts.

THIS IS HUGE - even if they don’t replace her.

Spot on.

The pressure on McConnell will be enormous, he has a double-digit lead over his Democratic challenger Amy McGrath.

Imagine the scorn and ridicule if a Conservative Judge had checked out and been near death for 3 years.

2.5 years ago, she had an interview and couldn’t even hold her head up.

Well said Nathanbedford.

Could her death make John G. Roberts less likely to go against conservative decisions now?

"Better get Amy Coney Barrett on the Court ASAP while we still have some leverage in the Senate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

We don't want another Supreme Court Justice who's okay with an assault weapons ban, and a desire to okay firearms possession for felons is not an acceptable substitute.

"Trump definitely hast to nominate a woman"

If he were a commie Democrat, but he's not. We don't do "affirmative action" here.

The difference here is that the President is a Republican and the Senate is in the control of Republicans. So, the Senate confirms what the President wants. They have every right to do so.
