2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

[Post War America]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away.

I'm sure Mitch McConnell will ensure that Trump waits until the presidential election to vote on a new justice.

Are the cons doing a happy dance?

They most certainly will. Democrats are screwed now on the Supreme Court.

[United States of Devonta]

fuck....

She tried so hard

[The Black Forrest]

Are the cons doing a happy dance?

They most certainly will. Democrats are screwed now on the Supreme Court.

Yup. The hypocrisy of the cons will show itself.

Scalia dies. Cons: He was a conservative so only a conservative can fill this slot
RBG dies. You will not hear them say only a liberal can fill that slot.

This is going to be a knife fight and I am not sure the cons can pull off the nuclear option without retribution.

They might loose the senate. If they force it; I think they will loose the senate.

[Ngelmish]

The short term political effect probably rebounds to the Democrats, but the long term impact of this is going to be grim.

[Thermodolia]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away.

Hahahahaha. Hahahaha

[Shrillland]

We have been defeated. Now nothing that can improve that country has any hope of staying law for at least 30 years.

[San Lumen]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away.

I'm sure Mitch McConnell will ensure that Trump waits until the presidential election to vote on a new justice.

He almost certainly will. There goes all progressive legislation for the next 50 years. she should have retired under Obama. It might even help Trump get reelected.

losing the senate will be worth having the court.

Democrats should expand the court to make up for the stolen seat that was Obama's to fill.

That would certainly kick off the mother of all shit storms.

It won't help get him reelected, for our hope shall explode into rage and anger, which leads to a kind of enthusiasm among voters. Even so, it will be too late. The damage is now done, and there is no way to improve the country without resorting to trickery like court packing.

i do believe that would be the political equivalent of shitting in the street.

[San Lumen]

Schumer has already said the seat should remain vacant till after the election and is using McConnell's words against him.

They are already going to lose the senate. This will exacerbated it.

Also my super conservative very pro Trump dad isn’t happy about this at all. He says that Trump is gonna lose because of it

Revolution time?

does Schumer have his eye drops ready?

[Thermodolia]

Depends. If they gain enough seats to have a near impeachment proof majority they can just start impeaching Justices left and right

[Eukaryotic Cells]

The Republicans could try to use this to boost Trump's chances at re-election. "Vote for Trump and you get to replace Ginsburg".

I think they're going to ram through a nominee, though. This is too much of an opportunity to pass up.

Good and hopefully McConnell sticks to his words in 2012 about not confirming a Supreme Justice in a election year.

11 seats, no 13 seats, no 47 seats, no 101 seats! The possibilities are endless!

[Thermodolia]

That would certainly kick off the mother of all shit storms.

Schumer has already said the seat should remain vacant till after the election and is using McConnell's words against him.

If McConnell tries it I wouldn’t be surprised if his body is found in the Ohio river
