Disagree. There's no way for him to know this quickly. McConnell likes to play chicken sometimes.

Loathsome Sack Of Shit, Bitch McConnell Confirms The Senate Will Hold Vote On Ruth Bader Ginsberg's Replacement
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
Four more seats for President Barron Trump to fill in 2052.
I don't feel the solution here is to add more seats to the court, but to put some real Checks and Balances on its power, and the Federal courts in general - More mechanisms to remove crooked judges, no more life-time appointments, moving Confirmation power from the Senate to the House.
Packing the court is a dangerous game, and has a high risk of creating a problem of Serial Escalation if it become a norm to increase the size of the court whenever you have a Supermajority to negate the other party's appointments. Mark my words if the court's size is increased, it will be wielded against us inevitably.
The real problem if you ask me is the very existence of an institution with "Supreme" power that isn't beholden to The People. The past four years have been the single greatest argument for severely limiting the power of the Executive and Judicial and moving their authority back into the wheelhouse of the Legislative branch, preferably the House, with the Senate's power being as minimized as possible - Far too many Rotten Boroughs for the Senate to be a legitimate institution anymore.
Do not trust Collins on this one. She's not on the list but she does not count as a solid "no" until after the vote is over. Fuck her drama games.
Fuck McConnell! Fuck that turtle to oblivion!
The Dems absolutely have to pack the courts! No hesitations!

I feel like it's less that (whilch is probably true) and more wanting to jam it through now.
Rules of engagement have changed. If we keep lining up in neat little rows like the red coats it'll get worse
Hope died a long time ago, we are just slowing this shit down. We are legit examining our options.
I'm starting to think maybe America deserves what Trump is doing to it. Maybe we need to fail horribly and suffer so certain large amounts of the country will finally learn their lesson and cut the anti-intellectualism, nationalism, racism shit out.

good luck.
Counterpoint: none of that will happen and our nation is on life support.
Yep. Anything for party and power. ANYTHING. If anyone still needs an example to prove that capitalism fucking sucks, this is it. It checks all the boxes.
I am so scared.
I mean, the optics for one, are really horrible. Not that McConnell cares. This is the time for the Dems to fight tooth and nail and message this so fucking hard at just how fucking cold this is.
It's going to take a number of Republican Senators to break away, which likely won't happen.
If the Dems get all three branches, then three things need to happen:
1. Kill the filibuster
2. Expand the SC by a vote on the Senate floor without the filibuster
3. Expand States (DC and Puerto Rico), which gives more electoral votes
The time for games are over. 2016 was when it needed to happen, but now is the time to fight like hell.
Losing Senate is biggest mistake American people ever made.
Mitch turtle fuck is the biggest shameless shit stain that won't ever be rub off unless America actually bring back the guillotine for his head.
Also people somehow still have hope that GOP gonna do the right thing are lying to themselves.
GOP currently have one of the best chance to shape the country to their liking till another of their judge drop dead. They won't fucking miss that chance. Remember, they are so fucking shameless they ram a rapist into the Whitehouse, and another rapist into the fucking Supreme Court. They will do anything to win.

So Lindsey Graham is currently in charge of the judicial committee. How's he doing in his current race?
I wish Dems were as ruthless as republicans. If they gain a full majority, all of the above will be easy to do. But they won't do it. To "heal the nation".
You have a point. They will loose some seats over this action.
Then again, will they? With this kind of power there truly is no accountability.
In other words, McConnell allows exactly as many vulnerable Senators as he can afford to lose while still passing his bill to dissent so as to preserve his majority.
It's a reasonable reaction but the problem is that the institutions and checks and balances will be so corrupted and eroded at that point that there would be no way to dig yourselves out of it, regardless of how bad you want to.
I think the smarter R Senators are considering the risk/reward here. If they pull the trigger on this and the Dems take it all in 2020 - Rs know that the dems will go fuckin ballistic on them.
If they do it and get to keep either the Senate or Presidency they basically get away with tipping the court very much their way for 10~20 years.

Feeling that way negates RBG's memory and everything she fought for. Don't do that, get motivated to get this shitstain out of office.
Unreal smh he shouldn't be talking about a nomination this soon disgusting piece of trash that party has to be voted out immediately
- Pressure your Republican Senators.
- If there's no Budget agreement, there will be a shutdown. The House could prevent one.
Unless GOP members decide to vote no, then the US completely fucked.
This is why everyone needs to vote.
As long as Dems don't let republicans to get away with the propaganda over this.
- What happened with Scalia
- Mitch's words then vs now
- RBG's last words
- RBG's liberal record vs conservative judges
All of this looks really bad and general public with side with dems IF dems can make their case clearly and loudly. RBG's final words should be on all major dem social media at this point.
Stop deluding yourselves thinking GOP will grow a spine and do the right thing. They fucking love Trump and all their wet dreams like overturning Roe v. Wade are going to become a reality. This is exactly what they want and are just salivating at having another SC justice.
At this point just voting won't help. We're beyond fucked.
