I think it’s more that most everyone sees clearly that the GOP’s tactic is one of gamesmanship amd pragmatism that the Democrats aren’t morally above.

Don't let these facts get in the way of a good story.

The Dems will try to stack the court the first chance they get. I really don't see how to stop them other than holding either the Senate or the WH in perpetuity.

The Republicans control the Senate, but it will be a Presidential election year. Will Mitch table the search for the next justice until after the election like he did for Merrick Garland?
Senator McConnell was extremely clear on this. If you read what he's said, you'll have no question about it. The issue is precedent. "You have to go back to 1880 to find last time a Senate controlled by a different party from the president confirmed a Supreme Court justice to a vacancy created in the middle of a presidential election."

What happens if RBG passes away?





That's my reaction, it may not be nice but it is very sincere. Our republic is much more valuable than an individual life.

This is a stupid question. Why would Mitch wait till after the election? He has the votes the pass the presidents pick . If democrats had control of the senate then they could wait till the election.
