Be careful. Perhaps Trump's nominee is even worse than Keg boy.Trump's lasting legacy will be THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES. INCLUDING A DRUNKEN RAPIST.
FUCK.

It's not until the election. It's until Biden takes power in January
Royally.
In less than four years in office, Trump has confirmed over 200 judges — two to the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, and 53 to appeals courts. By comparison, President Obama confirmed two Supreme Court justices and 55 appeals court judges during his entire eight years in office.
According to a 2019 report from Lambda Legal, eight of 12 appeals courts — which sit just below the Supreme Court in the judicial hierarchy —are now composed of more than 25 percent of Trump appointees.
Atomically
Yeah, there's literally zero chance Republicans don't get someone in before January.you sweet summer child
I wish i had your optimism. McConnell is likely jerking off as we speak
...unless Biden stacks the court. Which he should.This is a mortal wound for a generation. Republicans will control the court for the next 30+ years.
No.Stupid question: Is there anything anyone can do to stop Trump from putting in a new justice before the election? Filibustering? Stalling? Anything?
The election is a month away, can they really push through a SC nominee like this?
If there are going to be court cases related to the election ala Bush 2000, which there very well may be, they need their yes man in the seat ASAP.If that's the case then why replace her before the election? Trump and Co. can use the open seat a rallying point to get everyone on the right to show up. "Vote for me, the Supreme Court is on the line!" etc... Assuming they lose the election and have until January to appoint a new judge, what do they have to gain by ramming one through now?
Well the good news is that she won't be replaced under the next Presidents term!RIP.
This doesn't change the election stakes much because it was always likely that she would be replaced on the bench during the next president's term. This makes it a bit more explicit though.
Hope that they honor her request or get enough Republicans to say they will not vote until next term."renegade_sylens, post: 45948539, member: 30962"]
So, uh, can the Democrats do anything to stop her seat from being replaced?
Time to try to change the rules to get rid of supreme justices. Impose an actual limit to how long they serve, get the fuckers trump put in place out, whatever it is. It would be the time to do it. Good luck US.
You know that isn't going to happen.
Fuck 2020.
Every Rose Twitter and Sanders supporter has no excuse to sit out the election now. VOTE BIDEN.
RIP Justice Ginsberg
Yep. It hasn't even hit me yet.The pit in my stomach is about the same as I had after the results came in on election night 2016. Worse, even.
