You know he won't. There isn't an ethical bone in Mitch's body.

He won't. He's already said that the situation is different when the Presidency and the Senate are run by the same party. They will ram someone through, and my money's on Amy Coney Barrett myself.

Great time to be reminded RBG was a horrible selfish person who should've resigned when she had the chance. It's going to hurt to see people portray her as some valiant hero who tried hanging on until the next Dem president.

At least now people can't use the "Supreme Court is on the ballot" excuse to try and convince people to vote for Biden. It was never a good argument to begin with.

Seems like some short-sighted shit they would try to do without thinking about the lasting implications of setting such a precedent, much like the suggestions to pack the court with more justices.

I definitely wouldn't support packing the court. It is too much of an extreme measure.

Mitch should stand by the precedent he set previously and allow the election to act as a referendum on the court. Not going to happen, though.

When has that stopped the democrats? Remember that Reid was the one who changed the rules on appointing justices to just a simple majority vote.

The Republican Senators are, evidently, quite easy to herd, actually.

Because I had immense disrespect for her when she was alive, I'm not going to start respecting her just because she died. That makes no difference, it still stands that she was a selfish person who should've retired when she had the chance. She knew she was getting up there in age and that her health wasn't the greatest.

I'm certainly not happy she died, but I was angry at her when she was still alive and I'm angrier at her now.
