We need 4 Republican defections. Maybe her, Collins, and Romney? Idk who would be #4 in that scenario.
They won't stay in DC to pass stimulus during a once in a century pandemic, but they sure as hell will stay for this. Elections be damned.
I think that shit is pretty fucking obvious
Biden, Senate wins (+ House stays) is an absolute MUST now.
FUCKING VOTE.
Welp. Pretty much just have to accept my life won't be shit. It'll probably be confirmed when Trump wins/cheats his way to victory in Nov.
Wish there was an easy way to get out of this shithole but it's impossible.
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
My guess is that McConnell is gonna slow the nomination process to drive up turnout for November, and then push the nominee through the lame duck.
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.RIP RBG, while these days are dark others will continue to carry your light.
This seems like a good take at this moment, in this thread.
If Biden wins, he better pack the court. Fuck decorum, and fuck Republicans. They. Are. Cancer.

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?
President Trump has released an additional 20 names he would select from if any Supreme Court vacancies arise during his remaining time in office, including the president's rival-turned-Senate ally, Ted Cruz. The list also includes Sens. Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley as well as two former U.S. solicitors general.
Except they get to install a judge and we didn't.
I can see Romney but not Collins.
BasicallyThree things people shouldn't waste time/energy discussing here....
1. Whether there is enough time for a new appointment before January 20th.
There is.
2. Whether the GOP will respect her dying wish or show some class by gambling on appointing someone after relection.
They won't.
3. Whether Biden will stack the court.
He wont.
