Op-Ed: Democrats have a secret weapon to thwart a rapid Ginsburg replacement. They should use it

LA Times via Yahoo ^ | September 19th, 2020 | Erwin Chemerinsky

[Mariner]

Chemerinsky, the commie professor, expresses butt-hurt on behalf of the left and recommends packing the court as a remedy.

When Democrats have POTUS, the House and 60 votes in the Senate (or elimination of filibuster and 51 votes), they can change the statute and do just that.

It's been done before.

[MagillaX]

There has to be a conservative black female somewhere in this country. This is a meatball pitch waiting for us to hit a grand slam. Why would we let the Dems off the hook. Make them vote down a black female to the supreme court and see where that gets them.

[MAGA2017]

“...the fair and right course..”

Yeah, just ignore laws and the Constitution.

[G Larry]

Remind yourself what they did to Clarence Thomas.

This is the Communist Left we're dealing with.

Just nominate Amy and stand firm.

[newzjunkey]

The problem with the narrative is the next president may very well be the current president. That wasn't ever going to be the case with 2016.

How hard will Dems scream if an 8 member court, short one clearly defined leftist, decides the outcome of the election because of mail ballot fraud or other irregularities?

[Bayard]

Democrats can try but if they do, its a wash because we’re in civil war territory.

[be-baw]

So what’s the secret weapon?

[I want the USA back]

democrats play dirty all the time. Republicans should do what they want, and not give a darn about what the media or the democrats think. Just do it!

[Mariner]

Would please take that silly shit back home with you?

The next nominee should be the most conservative strict constructionist that can be confirmed.

Affirmative Action for a justice is juvenile.

[jeffersondem]

“One way for Democrats to make clear they will not tolerate Republicans trying to fill this seat in advance of the election would be for them to pledge that, if they take the White House and Senate in November, they will increase the size of the Supreme Court to 13 justices.”

If the Democrats announce that, the Republicans should accommodate them and expand the court to 13 justices right now - before the November election.

And then fill all the new seats. Right now.

There has to be a conservative black female somewhere in this country.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Candace Owens comes to mind - she’s NOT qualified, etc., but that’s the mindset a conservative black female nominated for SCOTUS should have. If Trump can find one, the streets in this country would be slick with Leftist/Dem/Prog brain matter from all the heads exploding.

[newzjunkey]

The optics were different when it was Thomas.

[Mariner]

“And then fill all the new seats. Right now.”

Correct.

[Magnatron]

So what’s the secret weapon?

Packing...

Not so secret.

[jeffc]

Gee, that's not what the LAT said back in May of 2016 about the GOP Senate refusing to consider 0bama's nominee. They were seriously irritated...

[Its All Over Except ...]

Despite what Biden claimed, Obama’s nominee was not brought up for a vote in 2016 because that was his last year in office, the year he nominated Garland, no president has had his nominee approved under that scenario with an opposition party controlling the Senate since the 1800’s and Republicans controlled the Senate in 2016.

This is not currently the case for Trump as the President and majority Senate are now of the same party. Therefore Trump gets his pick and Obama doesn’t! That’s how it works!!!

[dfwgator]

Ask FDR how that worked out for him.

[gov_bean_ counter]

It’s so secret the Dems don’t even know about it...

[Olog-hai]

This screed comes from the same guy whose own appointment as dean of the UC Irvine law school was questionable in and of itself. Comrade Chemerinskiy sure does look like one of those old Soviet college professors, and he’s a fav of the so-called Freedom From Religion Foundation due to his attacks on freedom of religion . . .

[irishjuggler]

Not sure how Romney, Murky et al. think they can keep stabbing us in the back and have any future in the Republican party??
