Just wondering if they gonna do what republicans did to obama and hold up the nominee


The attempted lynching of Kavanaugh was a purposeful warning to potential conservative replacements for RBG.
I would be surprised if RBG is replaced by Trump with a conservative justice. It would take someone with brass balls and nothing to lose to accept that nomination, because that person’s full reputation and possibly their life will be subject to destruction at the hands of leftists.

Yeah.

Honestly. The after the left overtly decided that falsely accusing a man of being a rapist was a legit tactic politically, EVERYTHING is on the table in terms of the court.

frick them. I'd be OK with confirming a dude on the last goddamned day Trump is in office.

Which should erode some of the good feelings you have about potentially getting a conservative court in trade for the Presidency in 2020.
What will stop them from adding 3 or 4 seats to the court? Nothing, IMO.

Republicans controlled the Senate in both cases. They can do whatever they want thanks to Harry Reid.

The house can't do anything.

The dems in the senate can rant and rave and obstruct and try to hold up a nomination (see Kavanaugh). They will.

If you thought the Kavanaugh hearing was bad, you haven't seen anything yet.

Nope!

The Repubs will Confirm any reasonable nominee that will rule on the constitution as written!

I’m sure that mitt Romney knows this and is negotiating wjth dems right now on his Futur Jeff Flake Moment.

Mitt is daydreaming about some left wing media love right now. All he has to do now is recruit about three or four more rinos to fall in line.

only if they can take back the results of the last election and gain control of the senate

only the senate decides on, and votes on, the SCUTUS nominees

This is true no matter what Republicans do.

The left will do ANYTHING to get its way.

They just went on a coordinated false rape accusation attack.

I'm not even sure I'll not live to see the day when Democrats on the fricking floor of the Senate advocate the murder of a Supreme court nominee at this point.

There is nothing that a single Democrat can do to stop any nominations, without the support of 4 Republican Senators.

The House is just as powerless as the Louisiana state legislature or your local PTA Board when it comes to SCOTUS appointments

If you'd told me in 2016 that I could get Trump, a tax cut, 3 Supreme Court nominees and a complete blocking of the liberal agenda in return for losing 2020, I'd have handed you that shite and rested easy.

Liberals place WAAAAY to much importance on the Presidency


I see a lot of value in a slightly conservative court, dem president, split house/senate. Seems like a recipe for success.

Well.

To get that, we had to get Trump first.

In any case. Normally, I'd agree but at this point, the left is on a war footing. They've always sucked at compromise in such situations but they used to at least PRETEND to want it.
