    Jack: Thanks for proving my point.


    What point? That I'm not afraid to defend myself from those who despise me for my beliefs?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    How are you 'defending' yourself? By HATING others?

    All true my friend. Barrett will get the nod, and I can't do anything about that. I am not really anti-Barrett- and certainly not pro-Barrett.

    But, I also believe that the Justices on the Supreme court will ask Barrett to recuse herself on any decisions until after the new president is sworn in.

    I think the Justices are not comfortable with the selection this late in the election, so they will be asking her to recuse herself for a few weeks to keep things fair.

    I think Barrett will cooperate with their advise and recuse herself and look ahead at her opportunities.

    Things will settle down by then, and she'll work out fine after that!

    I am really not so overly concerned about Barrett.

    The Supreme Court Justices are not feeling comfortable with a new Justice this close to an election, and I bet Barrett is not comfortable about the timing either, so the court will be asking her to recuse herself from deciding cases until after a new president is sworn in- and she will do it just because it is the right thing to do.

    Now if she does not, the Democrats will just have to pack the court! LOL!

    FAIR WARNING!

    Most people hate your ridicule, Jack. That is not defending anything. That is a simple statement.

    They don't get a choice. Trump and the Senate does.

    Why should she? On what basis?

    Nothing to 'settle down'. The President nominated a judge for the Supreme Court, the Senate will likely approve it. Done.

    I sure hope you have your post election therapist lined up. Time is running short, you know.

    No, you don't get to do that either. You only get to vote for two of them.
