If Biden wins,he will pack the court to like 12 judges.  Then the next republican that wins will pack it to 16.  By 2050, It will be 75 judges.

Those are the same people who were already voting for Biden. 

Any true conservative will set aside their dislike of Trump to protect the Supreme Court. Trump is only here for 4 more months or 4 more years. SCOTUS appointments can last decades.

The Dems really screwed the pooch on this, should have let her retire with dignity in 2019 but they were too busy with their impeachment projection.

Trump should and will do what the Constitution grants him, nominate a justice. The Senate should confirm, as the Constitution grants them. 

Only problem is the 3-4 cucks who will cave to the communists. Murkowski has already stated she will not vote.

No matter what happens, stock up on

And as a bonus, not the left will be forced to talk about actual politics rather than their self inflicted China Virus damage and imaginary systemic racism hysteria.

I don't disagree with you. I'm just telling you what people have told me. They see the SCOTUS as more important than the president and believe in keeping it as balanced as possible.

Seems fine, I would prefer they hold firm and stay philosophically honest

i would prefer conservatives stay true to what is right and not behave like leftist liberals

No, they did not.

They controlled the Senate and Obama was not running again. Different set of circumstances.

The Constitution gives them the authority to nominate/appoint a justice anytime they want.

And besides, assuming the election will be contested (due to mail fraud) and go all the way to SCOTUS, a tie would send it back to the lower court. Do we really want a random (or deliberately chosen liberal) district court deciding who will be president?

Nominate Monday after debate and hold hearings first week of October. Muh Covid!

What a shite show this is going to be.

[DexterM1776 79]

RBG can burn in hell. She should have retired in 2015 but she wanted a woman president to pick her replacement.

Her hubris will hurt the left just like it always does.

I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of "peaceful protests" no matter who he nominates. 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I think Murkowski and Romney have both said they will not vote on this until after the election.  The GOP has 53 seats so its up to Collins.  Its only a minor issue anyway as they can do the vote between election day and the next inauguration.

Philosophically honest? Are you kidding me? Do you see what the left is currently doing to our country? Have you watched the riots? Have you not  heard leftist leaders egging it on, condoning it? You still think this is a philosophical battle? Come on man.

Has a Supreme Court justice ever died this close to a presidential election?  And it did shift the vote in any way?

The vote is decided already. Just depends who goes out to vote and how successful the left is at cheating.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

Trump could be slick and stay quiet about this for a few weeks and allow the democrats to come out in strong support of Biden packing the court after he becomes president.  Then Trump announces that since the democrats are so in favor of packing the court, he is going to pack the court himself and nominate like 4 judges at once.  Make them eat their own words.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I looked it up:

http://politicalgraveyard.com/offices/pdio3.html

No SC justice has died this close to a presidential election.  Not even close.  The closest death on record was actually Scalia in 2016.  He died February 6th of 2016.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

One of the biggest complaints the democrats have had in the 2020 election cycle is that the filibuster sucks.  The democrats want everything decided by simple majority vote in congress.  Well, Supreme Court picks were one of those things that used to be able to be filibustered but now is decided by simple majority.  So its only fitting that removal of the filibuster bites them in the ass here.

Ginsburg was on liberal life support. She and her liberal cohorts willed her to cling to life.

F*cking disgusting.

According to another otherboarder, T has been losing evangelical support, and the prospect of overturning Roe v Wade will bring them all back voting for T en masse.

I think the best move is to wait to fill until immediately after the election to make sure evangelicals vote Trump in large numbers.

This isn't even 9 months out like it was with Obama. The election is in less than 60 days.

The new president should fill this void. I disapprove of Trump and McConnell ramming one through, but they likely will.

Explain why they should?  Obama himself said elections have consequences. Everyone knew that one of the consequences of the GOP controlling both the senate and white house was ramming thru SCOTUS picks.  This was above board.

So 2025? We are supposed to go 4.5 years with only 8 justices because she disagreed with Trump's politics?

What a dumb biotch, although I highly doubt she said that because she has been on her death bed for 2 years and was most likely hopped up on morphine and other drugs. If she did say that then she is a disgrace to the court. Justices are supposed to be apolitical.
