I know I'm a despised liberal in a conservative board, but genuinely curious: how many of you think the country should wait to appoint as we did with the last election?

Obama wasn't going to be in office regardless of the outcome. His side didn't control the Senate either.

Had democrats demonstrated any sort of decorum over the last 4 years I would be in total agreement.

But now? Naaahhhhhhh

I have no good answer for this, other than to say, the cable news networks are going to have a field day playing clips of Democrats and Republicans arguing the exact opposite things they were saying just a few years back.

Different situation. You can figure it out.

Definitely curious to see what both sides talking points are. Purely speculating as an arm chair observer, there’s no way he could get a nomination through. This leaves trump with two choices...try and blame the dems or don’t try and possibly take a nobler “I already nominated one, let me set a precedent”.

End of the day, this election just became a Supreme Court nominee battle. Doesn’t matter his decision.

If we don’t elect Joe, trump gets another SC justice and [insert how future generations of children will die all across the world]. I don’t like it, this does not favor trump and it gives them a clear path forward on how to rally a divided base.

I’m open to some positive outcomes, awaiting talking points to digest the validity...but not optimistic.

this is different

this election might go to SCOTUS, can't have 4-4 in that scenario, too risky

Considering the actions of the last administration and current elected Democrats against the current POTUS, Democrats can frick off in my opinion. I would appoint one next week.

I believe in fighting as dirty as the Democrats. I’ve long complained about republicans bringing white gloves to a knife fight. I say frick the democrats, nominate and ram Ginsburg’s replacement through and make them fricking choke on it. Expel any republican that fails to follow through after they are leveraged to max.

But the republicans won’t do it.

The country is irreconcilably divided and dug in.

Traditional gentlemen's handshakes and unwritten rules of protocol are and have been out the window. All is fair in love & war, and this is a political war.

Waiting for the sake of the appearance of fairness would be a massive blunder for the GOP who has a concrete powerplay in hand.

McConnell's rationale for that was that with an outgoing president of one party and a Senate controlled by the other party, the confirmation of a Supreme Court judge should wait when this close to an election, so the American people should have a say.

We do not have that situation now.

Normally, I would have been fine with delaying a nomination. After the BS your party has pulled the last 4 years, I hope we ram one down y'all's throat and and then have special pens made up like Pelosi's impeachment pens.

Schumer ended the filibuster on judicial appointments when he was emperor and thought democrats would forever be the majority.

This is way too serious of an appointment to play stupid political games with the libs. He should push through the most conservative person we can find and hopefully save the country from the wackos.

If the roles were reversed with Hillary as President and a Democrat controlled Senate, what do you think Hillary and Schumer would do?

We can’t despise you if we have no idea who you are, what you believe, or what you support.

Why should we wait? What sense does that make?What other decisions should we postpone during election years?

There is nothing quite so rich and flavorful, as a Democrat making the argument for decorum.

I would nominate someone in the morning. No reason to put the Supreme Court on hold because she died. We will
Need 9 justices to decide the election because democrats can not accept losing.
