Schumer declares Supreme Court vacancy should not be filled until after election

Schumer is a disrespectful weasel blowing off poor Ruth's death and concentrating on stacking the SC with radical lefties. He forgot about her before she was cold the same way they forgot about Blasey-Ford after Kavanaugh was confirmed. Schumer is a classless opportunist. And his statement about delaying an appointment to give people a say is ridiculous. He says we should wait until we get a new President. Will someone please tell him that this is only Trump's first term. Waiting until 2024 for a new President is an absurd idea that only a buffoon like Schumer or Pelosi would come up with. MAGA
 
Chuck U. Schumer is a hypocrite deluxe. In 2016, he tried to ram through Merrick Garland's nomination even though it was an election year.

Now, he changes his tune. He should be told to "F" off

Garland we had nearly a year to consider when Guido Scalia got that well deserved appointment to the Netherworld.

This is less than 40 days to an election Trump is probably going to lose.

He is the most unscrupulous man in the entire East coast
 
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.
Yes but they’re planning on doing it anyways but they may not take back the Senate
Rushing a nominee in before the election or new President and Senate will give the Dem's a rewarding excuse and support.
It’s a common practice since Washingto
It's a huge gamble for Republicans and the results could be huge and overwhelming.
I vote for Rudi Giuliani. Go Rudi!

You called him Guido. See the Prog for what they really are. Scalia was murdered.
 
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!!!!!
True.

Except instead of changing the precedent set by the other party, turtle is changing his own precedent he set 48 months ago.
In the words of Harry Reid (when forced to admit that he lied on the Senate floor about Romney)...

So what???

Good point. The Friedrichs decision has just gone against Big Labor/ the La Cosa Nostra and was going to cost the Families literally billions of dollars. The only way to stop it was to bump off one of the "aye"votes. You do the math.

Just how stupid that comment is beyond description.

The idea of fair play in the USA is gone. Your word means nothing in politics, especially for Republicans. McConnell’s decision to move forward on a nominee is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Simply ask yourself what the Democrats would do. If they thought the possibility existed that they may lose a SCOTUS nomination, they would not count the cost nor would they give a single fuck what the minority leader had to say.

Republicans need to act exactly the way the Democrats would act. Nominate and sit a good SC candidate before November.

So what if McConnell "made the rule", (even though Joe Biden actually did).

McConnell took a HUGE amount of heat from liberals trying to get him to change the rule. So he did.

So you libs should be happy that The Turtle saw the "error of his ways" and is correcting his course.

One of the most vile politicians ever in D.C. was Harry Reid. Progs must have had an almost total belief in a sure thing for total control to do things he did. It is possible by Prog standards, he screwed up.
