FBG might have a mass suicide... I'm bookmarking all of the posts I come across that are bragging and guaranteeing a Biden win. It's going to be epic if Trump wins. I'll be following up on so many of them it will take days. Of course, they'll find some excuse to try and get me banned over there but I'm certainly not going to let up. In reality, I hope they just all leave this country forever (which is another thread they started over there). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are likely to be 3 additional vacancies (including Thomas) in the next 4 years. They would have to fill one of those seats or it’s game over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,499 Posted July 18, 2020 She can take Breyer with her. Granted I haven't heard a word about his health deteriorating but since the guy's passed his lifetime warranty at 83, he's worth keeping an eye on too. As for Ginsburg, she'll never retire while Trump is in office. She'll be hsappy to retire on Biden's day one but with Trump around, she'll only leave SCOTUS with her toes pointing upwards.

jerryskids 5,069 Posted July 18, 2020 In all seriousness, and I know I'm a conservative, but we should want conservative justices. "Conservative" meaning not inclined to err on the side of changing laws or legislating from the bench. For instance, while I oppose abortion in general, I don't want justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. I also disagree with the recent decision to add gay and transgender people to the Civil Rights Act -- that is a legislative move which should have been done by Congress. If it was attempted and then failed, maybe the SCOTUS steps in, but I don't get the impression that it was. I'm open to being proven wrong though. Basic point is, if a judge says "no soup for you" 95% of the time, I'd probably support him/her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also can get filled if they are from different parties, but not if its getting close to a presidential election. The GOP controls both right now so it would get filled immediately. Currently the GOP has 47 secure seats in the senate. I have Georgia (Perdue), Ernst (Iowa), Maine (Collins) and Montana (Daines) all winning to give the GOP 51 seats and a majority in 2021. If we get a red wave then places like Arizona and North Carolina are wins as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the mainstream media and the guys over at FBGs are telling me that Biden is going to absolutely crush Trump in the election and it's going to be a huge blue wave where they take back the Senate as well. Like embarrassingly. They're talking as if all of that has already happened. They're already speculating who President Biden picks as his supreme Court nominee to replace Ginsburg.

I can see it as the tie breaker, but I have a hard time believing there's a lot of people who would use that as their #1 criteria of deciding who to vote for.

Mitch McConnell has proven to be perfectly willing to be fully hypocritical and change positions on procedural issues 180 degrees whenever the situation changes. Dem leaders are the same way, see Schumer or Pelosi. You don't get consistency in this job, you get somebody willing to adjust their sails to whichever direction the prevailing winds are blowing. If what they're saying now contradicts totally what they'd said last session, well, sh*t happens. You can take this to the bank. Believe me, if Trump loses the presidency and McConnell loses control of the Senate in November elections, and then RBG promptly dies, we'll have a new SCOTUS justice rammed through the lameduck session at breakneck speed before Biden and Schumer are sworn in come January. RBG could die December 29th; just give Trump and McConnell 60 hours and we'll have a new SCOTUS justice sworn in before the ball drops in New York City on New Year's Eve. The stakes are too high, they will not pay around on this. Call McConnell a lying hypocrite the rest of his life, you can add it to the other two dozen times he's been a total lying hypocrite before. The man once filibustered his own bill when he'd realized he'd made a tactical error. He has no shame. The man wants results and does not care about consistency. In that regard, he's not a lick different than how any of the Dem leaders are on these issues. Wow, nailed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
