***OFFICIAL Supreme Court Seat Panic Thread***

[Revolution]

Let me preface this by saying ABC & others are already panicking about "Drumph" (dumb insult) getting rid of RoevWade.

Seriously-Calm the **** down!!-There is zero time to do this before election!!
There will be no senate hearings even on this before the election. There is simply no time. Average confirmation time is around 60 days at best! These senators also want to be campaigning in an election year not stuck in DC on Halloween! Also, do you seriously think Toad will nominate someone next week and McConnell get him approved the week after? Not. Gonna. Happen. Do you seriously think Ernst, Romney, Tillis and Collins will allow a power grab?? Smarten up!

Now, more importantly, RIP to RBG, one of the best SCOTUS appointees ever and a marvellous human being!

They have until December 31 to confirm someone, that can be in before Biden even takes office on January 20, 2021.

24. I'm sorry but all the "norms" are gone.

We’re in uncharted waters.

And it doesn’t matter, there will be a full on right wing nut on the court before the end of the year

Your side put us in this "new normal," jerkoff. YOUR SIDE! And America is fighting back. This breaking news tonight just makes it a little easier.

50. Graham will hold one fast, Mitch will bring it to vote.

Republican bass will be appreciative of it.

None of them care about decency or norms.

Funny considering the last 110 nights of riots & unrest. Oh I forgot, you only watch the MSM, so moltov cocktails, high powered lasers shined in cop's eyes, and countless other atrocities won't be shown to you...

53. Nothing is normal about any of this.

They've broken every unwritten rule in government that they could, and they've done it with a wink and a smile.

They'll seat someone before October is done.

Burden of proof is on you for that accusation.

Is when the new DEMOCRATIC Senate will be sworn in.

It's nice to have dreams....then one inevitably has to wake up.

[I_B_Perky]

Well Dummie... we told you back when Harry Reid pulled this shit that is was gonna come back and bite you in the ass sometime.

Guess what?  It did.  That time is now.

Now you dems are all talking about doing away with the filibuster entirely to further your agenda cause your MSM buddies think biden in a landslide with the senate and house and you will be in power forever.

Well dummies... when you have only two parties that means when one overreaches you gonna get nailed by the other party.  2010 remind you of anything? 

Be careful what you wish for... you just may get it.

RBG's death gives me hope that Omaha Steve may not be immortal after all!

What a great day!

I won't gravedance either, but wasn't it selfish of her to hang on and not let obozo get a shot at replacing her?  The supposedly smartest people on the planet make the dumbest political miscalculations.  She just had to go out feet-first.

IN a weird way, in the past 20 minutes, my whole attitude has changed from certain doom to certain hope.

We cant be stopped now and many in the middle will not want to turn the clock back.

The fascist war and the Chinese virus may have taken away her family, but the death of RBG has given this primitive new hope.  Talk about making lemonade when life gives you lemons.

52. I think I love you



I block EVERY SINGLE TRUMP FREAK I read. BLOCK you. Go BLOCK yourself. Kiss my BLOCKING ass.

I don't even tell 'em. Block. Block. Block. Hope twitter never puts a limit on that, or I'm screwed, LOL. I read threads now and think, wow, no trumpists today?

Feels maaaahvolous.

DAAAAAAAAANG... so THAT'S what Blockhead McBlockerson does all day.

63. I think I love you



Jill blocked me because I asked her when she was getting her next orders from Putin.

Chachi blocked me because I laughed at one of his tweets.

Kris Kobach blocked me when he was still the SOS of Kansas. He must have seen one of my tweets about him because I never had responded to him directly. This was when he was investigating "voter fraud."

I also have been blocked by some people from OANN and Breitbart (that Breitbart guy was thrown out of a Beto rally a week later so I guess i was on the right track).

A white supremacist type blocked me because I tweeted him a photo of Eisenhower with ANTIFA written on it.

It's a fun game. I just can't help it sometimes.

  Self important, lying douche canoe.

82. HAtred of Women and love of guns is what they are all about.

Here is the worst part, do they have enough power to not only overturn Roe but make abortion a federal crime?

They do if putin takes over with MM and rump...

The only solace is blue states will do the adult thing, red states wont. But you can live in a blue state, works for Gay rights also, but this is why I am pretty sure real bad things are coming, courts wont matter.

You are ONLY right if it comes to the supposed "revolutionary" women in Portland like Arex. I know several women even here: BEG, Tots, Gina, and many more who I appreciate, admire, and care for. **** you, primitive. **** you with a cactus needle covered piece of rebar.

Eisenhower was a mentally deficient anarcho-communist social terrorist freak who hated America? No wonder they blocked you, that is weapons-grade stupidity.

Much as I'd love to be wrong, I do not think RBG will be replaced until after the election.

Ummm excuse me but would now be a bad time for some indictments from the Durham investigation?

Wholeheartedly agree.  Name might be announce as an incentive to vote in November for any of the squishy moderate Republicans.

Kind of, because that should have happened months ago. Not going to compain if it did happen now though.

Coney Barrett seen as a front-runner for Trump Supreme Court pick
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/517229-coney-barrett-seen-as-a-front-runner-for-trump-supreme-court-pick

Amy Coney Barrett, a federal appeals court judge, has emerged as a front-runner to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to people familiar with the discussions.

President Trump signaled Saturday morning that he would move to fill the vacancy on the high court “without delay,” raising the likelihood that the Senate will try to confirm a nominee before Election Day on Nov. 3 or during a lame-duck session.

Others said to be under consideration for the Ginsburg vacancy include Amul Thapar, Barbara Lagoa and Allison Jones Rushing, all of whom are Trump appointees to federal appellate benches.

Amy Coney Barrett looks to be the front-runner.

But picking Barrett would all but guarantee an explosive confirmation fight in the Senate and feed a broader all-out culture war months before an election in which Republicans are battling to keep control of Congress and the White House.

Barrett would also face scrutiny over her previous statements on ObamaCare's birth control mandate, which she called a "grave violation of religious freedom."

She's also questioned the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade and the court’s deference to legal precedent — raising the prospect that she would be more likely than other picks to vote to rein in or even overturn the 1973 decision legalizing abortion.

It will get nasty.

[SVPete]

Any Trump appointee will be attacked, whether he appoints now or does so after being reelected. So there is no reason to delay or to consider the pretext for the attack.
