Ruth Bader Ginsberg died

The left never takes a break.

/qtf!
They will kill their own if it advances their overall position.
No one individually matters only the overall position and the complete and total destruction of the right.

Sadly some here dont grasp this and think they can be reasoned with.

“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination." Lindsey Graham

It would be interesting to ask Sen. Graham if it was wrong for Pres. Obama to nominate Merrick Garland in 2016.

It was not wrong for Obama to nominate anyone he so chose. It was his right, or some would say duty.
It is the Senate's job to "consider" the nominee.
There is nothing in the constitution requiring confirmation, or even a vote.
They are only required to consider the nominee.

With the White House and Senate controlled by the same party, one would expect a confirmation.
When the two houses are divided among parties, it's anyone's ballgame, depending on the nominee and other political whims.

"Elections have consequences", or so I've heard...

Republicans would have just done what the Dems will try, get control of the House and Senate and add more judges. Theyre already talking about it.

Need some verification of this. I read fairly widely and have not ever heard the attributed to republicans with official status...

If Supreme Court Justices were chosen on merit rather than if they were “conservative” or “liberal” then it wouldn’t matter when they were nominated or voted on. The number of people on here who are jumping for joy at RBG’s death is sickening.

I don't think it's so much "conservative" vs. "liberal" as it is "constitutionalist" vs. "activist". It just so happens that those two things tend to follow along the same lines, respectively.

I have edited this one. I already asked we keep things on point.

Will not ask again.

Perhaps we can get a Supreme Court Justice that hasn't starred in a featured presentation at Epstein Movie Classics or previously sworn fealty to an organization that would cause the new justice to falsely swear into the Supreme Court.

Nah, never gonna happen.

That’s a fair assessment. It definitely helps me understand a little more to think of it that way.

Good riddance to evil rubbish.

Really??

Political tantrums arent limited to just Dems. Both sides borrow plays from the other fairly regularly. The SCOTUS situation we find ourselves in is a good example of thay.

As for Dems, Warren, Harris, Beto, Gillibrand, and Mayor Pete all said they would during their campaigns.

I vividly remember the left's poisonous vitriol when Scalia passed. It was utterly shameful.

We must be better. Let's not do this, shall we?

Why? So you can have warm, fuzzy feelings over being "better?"



Whiners, pearl-clutchers and virtue signallers will be be of little use when this turns hot.

Meh. On INGO, I expect at least one can't resist putting into writing what many are privately thinking. Some people just lack class and decorum.

Dancing on graves rarely yields positive, tangible outcomes; even when it turns hot.

 

[JettaKnight]

Without context, that means nothing. How many assassination attempts do they investigate annually?


Although... packages of ricin are fairly rare... just where could you get that? (asking for a friend)

I have a sneaking suspicion that class and decorum are decidedly ineffective against Molotov cocktails, looting, rioting, screaming threats to burn down the Supreme Court and assassination attempts against the President. But you are free to ignore the world as it currently is and replace it with whatever genteel charade floats your boat.

Doesn't seem to affect the left one bit.

Just a reminder from up thread.........................

OK fellas. I should not have to say this but step back and slow down. We are a public forum with untold numbers of visitors.

Even though I tend to agree with most sentiments in here lets Chill.

We all knew this was coming and why she hung on as long as she could.

Please do not force me to get on you guys again. I have far to much respect.
