What about the American of Indian ancestry (Asian American). I don’t know much about him and can’t recall his name off the top of my head, but it would be a potential stroke of political genius, the first President to nominate an Asian American. You out identity politics the leftist at their own game.

Will the Democrats filibuster?

K. 3 stay home. Somehow I missed that.
Who would be the 3 that stayed home on such an important vote?

Grassley is a mystery. Perhaps too stressful/ Linseed Graham heads Judiciary Committee these days.

Mitt is a Commie in Camo...

Only a Conservative when he is up for re-election.

This is the conundrum, a Dem in a Red or Purple State two years out from an election can act the fool and voters do not remember, less then two months out voters will remember. Attack a nominee especially a female the way they did Kavanaugh and it will not resonate with voters. It could give the Senate back to the GOP. It also takes Kamala off the campaign trail, not that she has been doing much. Imagine Kamala going wicked Witch of the West on a female candidate with millions of voters watching.

I say go for it! This election could end up in front of SCOTUS. Do you want to trust it to Roberts?

this totally negates the ability of Robert's to cause mischief in the inevitable upcoming vicious street fight in the courts over ballot fraud and the November elections results. Robert's can't make it 5 - 4 for Biden anymore. Win win for Trump.

This is a chance for Collins, Gardner, McSally (and maybe Tillis and/or even Daines, Ernst and Light Loafers Lindsey) to do the right thing one last time before losing in November.

OTOH, they’ll probably do the WRONG thing because doing the RIGHT thing (they believe) will seal their fate in a way they don’t like. But since Collins, Gardner and very likely McSally are toast anyway, they may as well go out with a big F.U. to the loony left.

Collins won’t be voting for anything in 2021 when she’s unemployed back in Maine.

Give her some credit though. She used up 100% of the thimbleful of courage she once possessed to get Kavanaugh onto the Court.

Why Grassley is being such a pussy pre-emptively, I don’t know. The other two, we ALL know why.

When our side finally begins fighting CW II, it won’t be just Democrats who are the targets.

Why? Do you think the fact she is black will appease the Democrats?

Can’t be Cruz, we need his vote in the Senate to pass the nominee. It will be a woman to avoid sexual issues.

Do ANY of the Senators who would vote against a nominee before the election want to be Senate janitors?

ZERO committee chairmanships.
ZERO committee appointments.
ZERO sponsored bills.
ZERO floor speech time.

Mitch can make their political lives very unpleasant.

THIS IS WAR!

This is for the LIVES of the unborn! This is for this country to have a chance at surviving.

WE MUST CONTROL SCOTUS AT ALL COSTS!

Put your big boy pants on, its gonna be a hell of a ride.

An aside... All this mail in voting crap and Democrat tactics to delay the results of the election, will give Republicans EVEN MORE reason to confirm a justice BEFORE this election.
