Senate Republicans have signaled that they would likely fill a vacancy to the Supreme Court ahead of the presidential election, but it is unclear whether the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will change their stance.

This is going to start a whole new round of crazy!

If events are not going bad enough for the statist left then this hot potato ends up dropping inside their drawers. More panic & pandemonium will send the statist left into yet another Warp 10 Full Senile Attack, & even more Trumped up conspiracy theories will flourish. The more water a sinking ship takes onboard the more lively(in this case comical) the crew becomes to watch!

"The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President," McConnell said in a statement hours after Scalia died in February 2016. - Mitch McConnell

Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical -- because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.

"You have to go back to 1880s to find the last time a Senate controlled by a party different from the president filled a vacancy on the Supreme Court that was created in the middle of a presidential election year," McConnell told Fox News.

Why would who controls the Senate, have anything to do with it....it's the President who picks the nominee, not the Senate.

The Senate, advises and consents or not, of the President's pick.... Repub or democratic majority Senate.

Sounds like Mitchy boy is trying to play it both ways, in his favor....

Which is expected of the low life.....

The Constitution has a check on that power.....they gave the Senate the power to approve or disapprove the appointments......it prevents the President from putting in place bad picks........it was designed that way to limit the acquisition of power.....

And that is the thing..........the vile attacks against Kavanaugh riled up Republicans and conservatives.....but he was appointed and that rage subsided just before the election.....this is so close, that when the democrats go insane and start talking about Amy Barrett leading rape parties, the election is close enough to keep republican and conservative anger alive for the vote in November...

We must win the SC and this is amazing opportunity!!
Trump may lose in 50’days

No....Trump may have the election stolen by the democrats in 50 days.....

Roberts votes left about 2/3 of the time now
He is a quisling

About 20% of the time, not 2/3s!

It seems very high the last few years
Now that Gator has “ gator rolled for good “; Mr Mitch needs to be strong

Mitch will do it.....but the 4 traitors....romney, murkowski (two republican members of the democrat party) and graham and collins....two coward rinos.....may block the nomination.......

You go, Mitch!

No reason to not replace her now.


McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate'


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said unequivocally Friday night that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

Ginsburg, 87, died Friday from complications surrounding metastatic pancreas cancer.

“The Senate and the nation mourn the sudden passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.

“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise,” McConnell continued. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.”

McConnell added that “by contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.”

“Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG DIES AT 87

In May 2019, McConnell, R-Ky., made clear that should a vacancy materialize in the midst of the 2020 election cycle, the GOP-majority Senate would likely “fill it.”

McConnell’s comments last year were met with criticism from Democrats who accused him of hypocrisy, based on the treatment of former President Barack Obamas Supreme Court nominee and D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals chief Judge Merrick Garland.

Obama nominated Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away in 2016, but McConnell and Senate Republicans refused to hold a hearing or vote on his nomination, citing the imminent 2016 presidential election.

Speaking to Fox News last year, McConnell suggested his stance was not hypocritical -- because in 2020, Republicans would control both the White House and the Senate, unlike Democrats in 2016, who controlled only the White House.

When will her replacement receive a vote on the floor is the question?

That is the question........and with the election, the Senators will want to be on the campaign trail, not trapped in Washington...

That is part of the dynamic....can Republican senators running for re-election get votes if they vote not to replace the democrat activist ginsburg with a real judge before the election?

It would be foolish to vote against them since Trump needs the Senate, but not all voters think about the long game.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yes, Trump has changed things. He will nominate a replacement for G Weinsberg, the Democrats will go bonkers, the ratification will go through, and the blue will sweep the WH and the Senate.

Beginning on January 21, the blue will systematically reform the system to create a permanent one-party majority state.

Many Trumpers and 2dA types will commit crimes and be killed or arrested by the LEO.

Trump wanted to destroy as it was and he has succeeded.

Jake,

When the party starts, I'll be looking for you.

We will dance.

Let’s not forget Mitch BLOCKED the senate from even having a vote on Garland even though it was blatantly unconstitutional. I’m sure republicans are thrilled at Ginsburg’s passing. Them winning is all that matters to them.

Oh and also don’t forget Mitch’s blatant hypocrisy about election years and voting on judges. He’s a sociopath without any principles.

So they are no different than the Democrats. It looks like the Dems and their dropping the nuclear option might backfire on them, yet again.

 

[Quasar44]

Very common practice to fill a Justice before any election

 

[Quasar44]

Now that the “ gator “ has finally rolled.
She has done nothing for 60 yrs but obliterate every US value

 

[Biff_Poindexter]

Liberals are such snowflakes.....Mitch has every right to nominate someone as quickly as possible....Who cares that he contradicted his own made-up rule of not nominating justices in the final year of a presidency -- it isn't a real rule, he just made it up...

And since it isn't a real rule -- he can just make up another reason to justify why he is violating his previously made up rule.....Democrats keep thinking there are rules that both sides will play by -- there are not.......

Just like republicans have constantly took pleasure in telling Democrats to fuck themselves -- Democrats need to do the same and stop worrying about what republicans will say -- As Robert Deniro said...

"Fuck Em!"

 

[rightwinger]

It will not be smooth sailing for Mitch ramming through a confirmation.

Right now, he has 50 votes with Murkowsky, Collins and Romney voting against a fast track confirmation.

Any other Senator facing a tight election or guilty conscience will sink the pick

Very true

The Senate has many made up rules.
One is the number of Justices on the Court
The other is the Senate Filibuster

If Republicans rush a nomination after waiting over a year to fill Scalias replacement, a Democratic led Senate will be willing to abandon all precedents.

I agree.....if the Democrats are able to get their shit together and take back the WH and Senate -- they can add 3 more seats to the Supreme Court if they like and they can add more federal judge seats if they want -- and when Republicans and the "both sides do it media" whine and cry -- they should have the balls to tell them to go fuk themselves....period

What part of the Constitution did he violate?

Be specific and quote the actual Constitution Billy000

In the 2016 election year, the Senate refused to consider President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, maintaining that no language in the Appointments Clause imposes an affirmative duty on the Senate to give any nominee a vote and that the Senate’s power to refuse consent under that clause implies the authority to determine whether, and under what political circumstances, actual consideration of a nominee should occur. This Article contends that the text of Article II actually provides a surprising level of guidance in discerning the respective powers of President and Senate in the appointment process. Specifically, it concludes that ARTICLE II, SECTION 2—both understood in whole and in its parts—requires the Senate to consider a President’s nominees. It posits further that the Constitution’s language implies some modest, but important, requirements for what Senate consideration must entail. Specifically, it observes that settled understandings of the Senate’s rule-making authority require that the Senate provide a process by which a President’s nominee could plausibly be confirmed. This Article will also examine how the Constitution’s original framers, advocates and opponents understood the distribution of power between the branches set forth in the Appointments Clause. By evaluating the instant constitutional problem with primary reference to a semantic analysis of the text—and thereafter exploring the reliability of those conclusions with reference to original understandings of that text—this Article’s interpretive framework conforms to the interpretive approach fervently preached by Justice Scalia and usually praised by the leadership of the 114th Senate.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 2—both understood in whole and in its parts—requires the Senate to consider a President’s nominees. It posits further that the Constitution’s language implies some modest, but important,

Irrelevant argument. Mitch is in control so it's his decision.

Hey idiot, Mitch does not have SOLE AUTHORITY to block a senate vote on presidential pick. Why don’t you show me where that is in the constitution.

Also, if the shoe was on the other foot, you would throw a mega tantrum if a democrat in charge in the senate blocked a republican president’s pick. You’re so full of shit.

Mitch is in control & has exercised that control DESPITE your whining.
And yes I probably would bitch had a Democrat done that. I'm not a hypocrite, you're just an idiot.

Trump was voted in because of the endless amount of RINO's that are conveniently around. And when replaced, new ones appear. Thus keeping the movement to the left going. There have been people in primaries that have won but rules sprang up or local power families interfered in their installation to office. Thus we end up with this.

 

[DustyInfinity]

Yet just a few short years ago

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday flatly rejected any person President Barack Obama nominates to the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, saying the voters should decide.

If the Communists had been in a majority that would have been different.

The Americans hold the Senate, so they get to decide, the Communists can go fuck themselves.

Picture a scenario where Hilary was president and Schumer was in control of the senate. Would all the democrat posters say they should hold off on a nomination?
