Republicans have been dreaming of this for decades. They will make it fucking happen and we wont be able to stop it
Should be a lot easier for him to cheat the results when he has a 6-3 Supreme Court to rubber stamp his dictatorship.
To be clear I don't think he'd do that because he doesn't think it matters enough. If he thinks it'll help republicans in the election he'd absolutely do that. Sure the optics are ultimately worse, but he'll also have two years for the public to forget rather than 2 months
lmao, Mitch is holding up stimulus checks that would be an easy gimme for Republican senators. He literally doesn't give a fuck about anything besides twisting the knife.
Nah fuck that. I'm tired of all the old white people acting like republicans and the GOP can be reasoned with/letting their heads get so inflated that they fail to consider the needs and wants of marginalized communities in this country. What did she accomplish by staying under Trump? Nothing.
Obviously RIP, but this didn't have to happen and it's fair to point that out considering how fucked we are.
She probably will not vote, but it's mostly show to save face. They can lose two votes and still confirm a judge.
I won't even give a BREATH of credibility to these words until January 20th, 12:00AM next year.
Biden won't and shouldn't. It just means whoever is in power will have control of the Supreme Court.
Those people are villains, and are going to be remorseless. They'll do the same thing this year.Secondly,
So, you sat out of the 2016 election as a protest vote. How did that go for you?
God bless her but how many more of this do we need to block the confirmation?
Needless to say, don't believe politicians. Especially conservatives.
Can pretty much guarantee that Trump and the Republicans will rush to immediately replace her with someone else, all possible controversies be damned.
Sad end to her legacy honestly. She was a champion for everyone in America, and I just hope various friends of mine won't lose rights...

RIP.
Guess we're gonna get a front row seat to democracy dying. Buckle up :(
EDIT:Also I understand emotions are high but maybe that mod message could be a little more professional. Already taken care of, I see.

add some more logs to the depression fire.... I have to hope one day this will be over.
RBG was an icon, and she will be missed, the world is worse off without her.

We can likely look back on this death in just a few weeks to see this was the catalyst that pushed this country into a full blown fascist state. Every major conservative that hated Trump now has one final reason to pinch their nose and vote for him, and that's on top of the election sabotage and coup we're going to see.
Moving forward, every social issue brought to the courts will be poised to stand against the public. Roe v. Wade is the least of our issues. Obamacare is being taken up a week after the election. What happens if they delay that until Ted Cruz is on the court?

They will let enough moderates abstain to have just barely enough votes to confirm.
RIP RGB.
I'm going to offer some optimism to the people in here.
The way Republicans pushed Kavanaugh through in 2018 was electorally bad for them during the midterms.
If McConnell does push someone through this time, not only would it make it harder for Republicans to retain control in the Senate, but would make it much easier to justify Biden packing the court next year.
So, even if Biden is most likely going to win, the Senate flipping is less likely to do so. So McConnell's play here is to wait and get a more moderate Biden appointment or rush someone through and then get two Biden appointments who will most likely be on the Court for decades.

I hope every single left-wing protest voter/abstainer chokes to death on sewage tonight.
