They are playing games. They really want Pres. Trump to rush in nominating his choice. But he needs to take his time to elect someone to fill the position. He should do it after the election, when he has both control over the House and the Senate. But then, if they has a bunch of paid protesters at the congressional hearings. That it will be hard for them to stay six feet apart under this mask mandate at these hearings.
And so I wonder what these brood of vipers are up to..



Minority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a statement Friday following Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, advising Republicans not to confirm a replacement before the election.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice,” the New York Democrat said in a statement. “Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

The two parties have battled over filling high court vacancies close to an election.

Democrats wanted the Senate to consider Judge Merrick Garland, whom President Barack Obama nominated to replace Justice Antonin Scalia in 2015.

But Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, would not take up Garland’s nomination, and it paid off for the GOP when Donald Trump defied the polls and won in 2016.

McConnell, who has ensured the confirmation of hundreds of conservative judges over the past three and a half years, has indicated repeatedly that he would move a nominee if a high court vacancy occurs late in Trump’s term.

Schumer may staunchly oppose taking up a Trump nominee right before the election, but he has little ability to stop McConnell. Both parties have stripped away the filibuster for judges, and now, only 51 votes are needed to confirm a Supreme Court justice.

That was the precedent that was set in 2016.

However, I fully expect the Republicans to do nominate and vote on a pick before 1/20/21 regardless of who wins. And I can't blame them a bit for the hypocrisy. Politically, waiting is a non-starter.

In case you can't figure it out, the Senate has a say....

And they can change the "precedent" if they want to....

The Democrats did it all the time when THEY were in charge!!!!!

Let me tell you about the fat schmuck Schumer
. He is a Bolshevik fraud and a pimp to Big Business , Big Tech , Dirty lawyers are nothing else

He is basically a giant greasy slab of cornbeef with 2 eyes, 2 ears and a huge mouth
. Hs is very smart but has less morals than Stalin
 
Rushing a Supreme Court nominee will guarantee two things, the increased incentive for electing a Democratic Senate and pressure on Republican incumbents, and the likelihood of a Democrat President and Senate increasing the size of Federal Courts, including the Supreme Court.

Why on earth is Schumer not wanting Trump to fill the position news? It's like telling people that the sky is blue.

Democrats have shown their ass after what they pulled with justice Kavenaugh. They will resist at any price no matter who it is and have no moral scruples about how they go about it.

And make no mistake, if the democrats owned the Senate and the White House, nothing would stop them from filling the seat.

Nothing!

True.

Except instead of changing the precedent set by the other party, turtle is changing his own precedent he set 48 months ago.

Yes but they’re planning on doing it anyways but they may not take back the Senate

Astounding in the least.
 
This is what the GOP is up against

When Justice Kavenaugh first had his hearing, this was the type of left wing response

Here we have a "woman" smearing her mensuration all over her body so that the police won't want to forceably remove her when she started to shout obscenities at the justice

And this was all before the sexual abuse allegations.

Democrats are vile animals, and need to be treated as such.

I don't know about that. But I do know that having hearings next month on the new Supreme Court justice would show the liberals as the nasty, ill tempered individuals they are, which can be contrasted with the President pounding out more peace agreements with warring nations and accepting Nobel Peace nominations. in the WH.

Rushing a nominee in before the election or new President and Senate will give the Dem's a rewarding excuse and support.

Democrats are powerless, bless their hearts.

It's a huge gamble for Republicans and the results could be huge and overwhelming.
