Murkowski Backtracks on RBG Vacancy,

[Celticguy]

Should be! We know Pelosi has said she will impeach him daily for whatever reason she chooses, which we know is a lie the constitution is clear on the reason for impeachment.

They ignored it before.
The senate may just say no to frivolous impeachments.

[Phantasmal]

For having held Democrats to the standard Biden set the prior time a vacancy occurred during an election year? Interesting how you think Mitch is the hypocrite when Biden was the one that opposed something then supported something in the same situation.

Lol, okay, you go with that.

Not real sure how nominating a justice could be considered "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors", the reason for which impeaching someone, when the Constitution says the President can nominate someone.

Joe went with that yet you fail to call him a hypocrite. Just one nl supporting another one.

[Cypress]

If the Democrats method were consistently followed it would be an equal trade- a liberal justice for a conservative one, and then a conservative justice for a liberal one.

Fair.
Consistent.
Ethically defensible.

Republicans have flip flopped for the pure reason of reshaping the Scotus in a partisan way

If the Democrats win the Senate and the White House, Senate dems should eliminate any last vestige of the filibuster and pass Medicare for All by simple majority vote.

They will make up other crimes. But i dont see where it changes what the senate does. They set their own agenda

When the Constitution says only two things about how the general process works, it leaves the details about how to the Senate.

Exactly.
Nan learned nothing from her last hissy fit.
Not that she ever learns anything from any hissy fit.

A lot of this is blowback for the abuse of Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh deserved everything he got. He is the wrong person for the job. He abused women. He has no judicial temperament. He blubbered like a baby at his hearings. He is a second rater on the highest court.

Explain why you and the Republican Party said only a few years ago that no supreme court appointments can happen in an election year

Irrelevant now. See my sig.

This is easy. They lie. In Trumpland, that is called winning.

Not only that but Lisa is trying to make amends for her position on Kavanaugh. For me it's too little, too late. Hoping #JoeMiller makes another run for her seat.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

The Senate and the presidency are in Republican hands and will remain so for President Trump’s second term.

There was no proof that he abused women, Nordy.

Post it if you have it.

Of course I will understand if you can’t.

He has plenty of judicial temperament... he is a Supreme Court Justice...more to come soon.
