Democrats keep saying "no scotus until the people decide"

[Crepitus]

Thing is the people already decided when the GOP hijacked the process under Obama. Like that act or not it put the direction of the court FIRMLY in the hands of the voter.
Voters chose and the left lost so why hold up more nominees when the people have already spoken?

And spare me the popular vote or Russia Russia Russia bullshit.

Lmao! The people have not yet spoken for this term. Dozens of seats are going to change hands, those voters need to be counted.

 

[Auld Phart]

Republicans are the hypocrites. They refused to act on Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland by saying that voters should decide in the election. This is a good example of how Republicans have abused their majorities.

presidential election this year I haven't heard about?

Midterms are elections as well.

The delay over Garland was to allow the INCOMING president to name his preferred Justice.

at the time the delay started, Hillary was considered a shoe in, and it was predicted she would also name Garland, or someone similar.

if the democrats somehow take the Senate, are thy going to delay Trumps nominations til either HE leaves office, or THEY lose the Senate?

I agree, but not with the big difference between the two elections. Yes, the "delay" over Garland was to allow the new President to make the pick. In this case, the senate's ability to confirm or deny the nomination is equally worthy for that argument.

In this case, the senate's ability to confirm or deny the nomination is equally worthy for that argument.

Senate is too close for that to matter all that much.

as before, if Dems take the Senate, how long are they going to hold up nominations?

til Trump is replaced, or til they are?

In that case we would never be able to replace justices because we have an election every two years. The Republicans never held a justice back because of midterms. It's just a phony excuse because the Democrats are still pissed about the Republicans holding out until after a PRESIDENTIAL election.

Yep, they are the majority, and they will likely get the SCOTUS they want. Just the way BO rammed thru his Shitcare when he had the majority.

The voters did decide and put Trump and the Republicans in power.

Obama didn't have the Senate votes to confirm Garland, Trump does have the votes to confirm his pick.

It's pretty simple. What you have is in medical terms called butt hurt. It's complicated by that you also have a case of spoiled child syndrome.

I'll let this guy explain it to you

‘Elections have consequences’

The next Supreme Court Justice is going to be a young white catholic woman! That will make Harry Reid shit his drawers!

I don't think so. Trump made a few comments yesterday that make me think he won't nominate someone so clearly against R v W.

What did he say?

I don't remember exactly; you know how he dances around making a direct statement. But he's holding back for the ratings on Monday night at 9 p.m., dontcha know.

Oh come on now! You cannot remember what you are accusing him of?

I am not accusing him of anything.

So, since he didn’t say anything that you can actually remember I think you will see a white young catholic woman seated on the Supreme Court. Great news for women yes?

Democrats are certain that they will change the majority in congress and the Senate, They will impeach Trump and the entire administration and a democrat will be president. Then they can appoint the new justice. To them, Trump is a lame duck with only four months left in his term.

Yeah, this is a stupid move by them, in a long line of stupid moves.

I am pissed at them, all I want out of life is the Senate and the White House in the hands of different parties, dont really care which has which.

You didn't get the memo. To democrats women are now "gashes". They are reduced to the mindless slits of their vaginas. That's why their particular poisons of late have been directed at women.

I might agree with your argument, in principle. But Donald lost the popular vote. So the people didn't decide, the electoral college decided. I think the real truth in all of this is that our system of government needs a huge makeover, because our procedural processes have become diseased.

Been doing it this way since the country started. The only reason Democrats don't like the EC now is because they can't win. So instead of trying to win by the rules, now they want to change the rules so they can win. It's just like you leftists said when Kerry lost. He was ahead in the exit polling samples, so then you were crying we should change our election system to exit polling to determine the winner.

We can't keep changing the rules every time you people lose.

I'm with AngryOldLady. I don't think Barrett is going to be the pick. Not just because of Roe v. Wade, but she has a short history on the bench. Not that Trump doesn't like her for those, just it would make the confirmation more difficult.

Kavanaugh has too much of the American traitor Roberts has. I'm pulling for Kethledge. Go Blue!

Well, they confirmed her to the seventh circuit so it will be hard to deny her credentials!

The DEMs have zero chance to win the House or the Senate.
Many DEMs actually believe that if the DEMs win the House they will be able to impeach Trump. For what no one knows.
Many DEMs actually believe a DEM congress could impeach Trump and then HRC would automatically become the President.

For one, even if they impeach Trump, it doesn't mean he's out of office. That's a separate process.

Two, even if they could impeach him and then throw him out of office, the VP takes over from that point.
