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

I agree, but I bet that Romney sides with the dimoKKKRATS.

“The political chaos in DC which was already at an 11 just got kicked up to about a 20...”

At least it will kick the fake scandal de jour off CNN. As soon as Trump nominates a candidate, it will, amazingly, turn out that he picked none other than Satan and that will headline the news, 24/7.

“Out of 53 Republicans, I doubt that 50 will support a replacement this year.”

I cannot think of a better way for Republicans to lose the Senate.

It would be political death for Republicans that are not on board, especially if they are up for re-election this year.

But this is the Dems worst nightmare. Roe v. Wade.....

Obama was a lame duck President . Big difference .

I agree, but the Dems will scream, “hypocrisy”, claiming that McConnell and the GOP set an inviolable precedent.

I told them it was a mistake to use a proprietary battery pack in the animatronic replacement Ginsberg;

They should have used an ‘off the shelf’ battery pack for a quick replacement, the Proprietary pack wouldn’t last until a new President was inaugurated. But they didn’t listen.

If the Dems can effectively use this as a rallying tool, we could lose the Senate and the Presidency.

Nancy and Soros likely bumped her off to give Biden an excuse to not debate...too important to focus on now. Bumped off in this case would be synonymous with “expedited”.
