A Mark Kelly win in Ariz. Senate race could spoil McConnell's plans to replace Ginsburg

An anti 2nd Amendment candidate who tried to blame Rush Limbaugh for the actions of a madman who tried to kill his wife is running in a state that prides it's 2nd Amendment rights. Go for it Mr Giffords/Kelly. Hopefully Ginsburg's replacement will be in place by the time the election rolls around.

McSally is losing Bigly to hero Astronaut Kelly in Arizona
 
Romney and Murkowski will cave just like Graham. If they cost us a seat on the Supreme Court they'll be history faster than you can say banana split.

Graham is in a pickle
He is in an unexpectedly tight race and his opponent will endlessly play Graham’s statement from 2016 that he will be accountable if he doesn’t hold the same standard for the next President.

His partisan flip flop may cost him his seat
 

Voters need to vote so they cannot pet this current non-conservative, far right GOP mess up the country.

Not really. The new Senate isn't sworn in until January. The nominee will be appointed during the lame duck session.

The only parliamentary procedure that can stop it is if the House brings impeachment charges before the appointment.

If the Democrats win big in November, they can repeal the Judiciary Act of 1869, an use regular order to change the make up of the court. While this would seem extraordinary, it would be quite normal, and well within the Constitutional powers granted Congress.

What would be extreme politically, is if cases are immediately brought before the new court looking to overturn many of the decisions that Liberals have disagreed with.
 
Too little too late. EnjoyTrumps 3rd S C pick.

If he gets approval, it will be by a razor thin margin.

Murkowski, Collins, Romney and eventually Kelly will defeat it
the election isn't until November 3 Kelly is not a senior until he takes the oath of office and the election is over have a great day bitch
Kelly can take the oath as soon as the results are certified
lol OMG the election is November 3rd the appointment will be confirmed before the 3rd and long before the 30th lol

Two Republican and Democratic election attorneys agree that state law and Senate practices would make Kelly eligible to take over the seat once held by Sen. John McCain as soon as Nov. 30, when the state election results are expected to be canvassed.

FYI Arizona is a pro second amendment state Kelly is an anit gunner good luck with your pipe dream lol

the house can impeach but it cannot stop the senate's job they are two separate houses in the legislative branch of government.

Its not too late, he's not going to succeed
Why not?

According to Section 2, Article 2, Constitution of the United States, the President is granted the power to appoint judges. Nowhere does it mention when the appointment should be made, only that it requires approval by a majority of the Senate. It doesn't mention "after the election," Chuck Schumer's or Nancy Pelosi's permission or even Ruth Bader Ginsburg's "fervent wishes." Here's the gist of the Article.

......... The Appointments Clause grants the president the power to appoint judges and public officials subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, which in practice has meant that presidential appointees must be confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate........


Moscow Mitch changed the rules in 2016. Now wants to change them again to suit Trump.
This blatant display isn't just hypocrisy, it's sheer corruption.
Moscow Mitch can't come back after that and say bullshit like 2016 had a lame duck POTUS and a GOP Senate.
I'm stunned that stupid idiotic cons go along with this.

Awww poor wackos.....not another conservative judge who supports allowing babies to live, law and order, border protection and self responsibility...the horror!!

the nutters don't grasp the fact Arizona is a pro-second amendment state it has the highest rating for the second amendment Kelly is an anti-gunner. that alone more than likely will knock him out lol

Arizona has changed

They also admire Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly
They have already told Martha McSally they don’t want her representing them......She didn’t get the message

Collins is beat either way...

Romney and Murkowski will cave just like Graham. If they cost us a seat on the Supreme Court they'll be history faster than you can say banana split. It's a political decision, not an ethical conundrum. They'll do the calculus and come to the politically expedient conclussion. You know it and I know it.

You forget one small item. The Republicans voted in the art of the Filibuster. And the Dems can tie it up for the next few months that way each and every time it comes to the floor. With the Senate, basically, coming to a screeching halt anyway, who would even notice that it's not doing anything. At least some noise would be coming from the Senate floor.

So uninformed

1. The hearings will be before the election.
2. The senate vote will be after the election
3. Trump's pick will be seated no matter how the senate majority turns out, there is no filibuster for confirmations. Thank you Harry Reid.
Do you think McConnell has the votes after the election?
Yes, after the election the Republican senators have no reason to vote against ACB.
Before the election some senators in tight races don't want to rile moderate (hopefully "Law & Order") voters.
Very true

We don’t know what their frame of mind or political loyalties will be after the election.

Mitt Romney would probably still be anti Trump
Murkowsky has already said she doesn’t want to reverse her position in 2016..... let the people decide who fills the seat
Collins will be interesting.....She definitely won’t vote before the election. If she loses she may go either way.

If Kelly wins in Arizona, he can take his seat in November
Generally agree.
1. Any Republican who votes against ACB needs to find another line of work.
2. Romney doesn't have his faux religion to hide behind if he votes against ACB, like his impeachment vote.
3. Murkowski is apparently more pro-choice than pro-life. Thanks for ANWR fools.
4. Collins has nothing to lose voting for ACB after the election.

Bottom-line: After the election there are very few Republicans who would vote against the Republican base.

and the election is on November the 3rd why do these nutters think that if by chance an anti gunner wins in a pro gun state that he will be a senator before the vote happens to confirm the newest addition to the supreme court by President Donald J. Trump?
