Actually, I'd say you can thank Harry Reid for that.

while i opposed what harry reid did, i disagree with you since the rule change didn't apply to the supreme court and that should have been preserved by both parties. between that and the maneuver with garland, mcconnell has severely ratcheted up the politicization of the institution that should minimally be impacted by it. scalia was unhappy about the intrusion of politics into the judicial appointment process. oh well ...

If your entire life revolves around social media and news media this may be accurate, but in the real world not so much. I deal with people almost everyday from all over the political spectrum and pretty much get along with them all. I think there is a small minority on both sides that truly hate the other side, but the majority of normal people will get along just fine in real life. The idea that we are close to some type of civil war is so ludicrous, I can't believe I keep hearing people yammer on about it. Besides, most of our population is so obese that you'd never get them to march to front lines anyway.

And Trump's next nominee is.....

[dougrz]

You'd think Barrett. He might name his nominee before the election, but ask for her to not be considered until after.

The near perfect parallel to Scalia's vacancy would make this very hard to sell to independents. There's still an election to win and Senate seats to defend.

Add: McConnell said there'd be a vote. That's a perfect setup for Trump to say no, let the people decide. Had to have been coordination on this.

[oldno7]

Getting a new justice installed, prior to election, is tantamount and likely even more important than the election.

She's been on her deathbed for two months and although they've keep her true condition a secret to Joe Public, those in DC knew it was coming and certainly had a plan.

I reckon they had a date set to pull it off or not...wether that date came and went remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, if they're going to make the move, they'll make it quick. The wheels will be set in motion before the middle of the week. Lots of phone calls goin' on this weekend.

If that freak Romney had any brains, he'd go along with the program.

Funny thing about that old lady...we've been wondering for years when she'd fade out, and her timing couldn't be better...leaving both sides standing there going "Oh shit"!

Oh, the irony. Y'now? It figures.

[Iceaxe]

McConnell is already counting votes... if he thinks he has the votes he'll pull the trigger... if not they will spin it to Trumps advantage with an "it's the fair thing to do" message.

Remember there is actually plenty of time as the election decides future Senators and those in power don't lose their seats until January 3rd.

I'm sure the GOP knew this was coming, which is why Trump released new names to his SCOTUS list last week.

I think this really helps Trump, as I know many who voted for him last time just because of the SCOTUS vacancy.

Sounds like a go ahead from Trump?

This is a good test of what the left will do on election night if they lose. If we see street fighting and riots over this appointment, it bodes for more.

Without riots, might be a tad negative for him. It's too easy for the media/Dem complex to point to the Garland scenario and scream about the hypocrisy.

But with riots, it will be positive. We need 3 things: more riots, bad Biden in debates, and Durham stuff. 1 and 2 are on the table now.

With regards to Garland it's simple for Trump to point out it was the Senate's decision and not his... by making an appointment he is just doing the job he was elected to do... same thing Obama said with regards to the Garland appointment.

Bottomline this is the Senate's call and not Trump's.

[dougrz]

Andrew McCarthy's article is worth reading. He's solid.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/09/replacing-justice-ginsburg-politics-not-precedent/

Key paras:


I’d thus wager that a determined Republican effort to replace Ginsburg in the coming weeks would increase the chance that Biden defeats Trump, and that Democrats take the Senate while holding the House. If that happens, Democrats will repeal the filibuster, add four to six seats to the Supreme Court, and pack it with liberal ideologues. Whatever benefit will have been achieved by confirming a Trump nominee will be overwhelmed. And that may be the least of our problems.

The best play, particularly if Republicans lack the Senate votes they need anyway, would be to use the vacancy as a core issue in the 2020 campaign. This worked for Trump in 2016 — indeed, it got him elected, ever so narrowly.

To be sure, Democrats are going to be more galvanized this time because the shoe is on the other foot: The prospect of a Republican replacing the Court’s leading liberal will alarm them as much as the prospect of Clinton choosing Scalia’s replacement alarmed Republicans. Nevertheless, as a political issue, the Court cuts in favor of Republicans. That is why Trump is already touting a list of potential nominees.

For now, President Trump is signaling (by tweet) that he intends in short order to announce a nominee to fill the vacancy left by Justice Ginsburg’s passing, and that he will push for Senate consideration. There is a good chance that he won’t get Senate consideration before the election .*.*. but that the nomination of a solid prospective justice, and the inevitable comparison of the kinds of jurists a Biden administration would appoint, will help the president’s reelection bid.

-irresponsible mom to have 7 kids and be away so much
-can't know the struggles of LGBT and singles having so many kids
-right wing nut, too many kids is proof

Or since all of those won't go over well, the usual: pick certain rulings and say she's a right wing nut. Then play the Garland denial double standard angle and be content with a future court packing.

Genius Trump Nominates Joe Biden To Supreme Court Forcing Dems To Accuse Him Of Sexual Assault

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Trump has announced his pick for Supreme Court justice: Joe Biden. By nominating Biden, Trump has forced the Dems' hands, making them believe the sexual assault claims and allegations of inappropriate, creepy behavior against the former vice president.

The "4D chess" move forced Dems to immediately accuse Joe Biden of sexual assault and reverse their position on the current claims against him.
"We now believe Tara Reade," said a somber Kamala Harris, "and we will do everything in our power to destroy this man's life."

New states and ending the filibuster. These have been the Dems' 2021 goals all along. Add now packing the court. This confirmation fight explodes that truth into the light.

One of my reasons for pessimism with all you peeps here is the hidden agenda wasn't being discussed in the mass media. And like it or not, the mass media still reaches and influences more than not.

But the hidden agenda will no longer be hidden. It will be more and more openly discussed. That can only help us.

[rockgremlin]

But the hidden agenda will no longer be hidden. It will be more and more openly discussed. That can only help us. YES!!


If the Dems can bend and break the rules to fit their agenda, they have to know that the Republicans will assert equal right to do the same. Turnabout is fair play.

Trump could load up the Supreme Court with 4 more conservative justices that would guarantee a Republican filibuster for at least a generation. (Although honestly I doubt he would do that).

In addition to being extremely qualified and a strong conservative, Lagoa is a Floridian whose parents fled Cuba. President Trump must win Florida on November 3rd. To win Florida, he needs the Latino vote there. Choosing Lagoa to fill the vacant seat is a strategic choice going into this election.

He admitted the first selection was based on race and gender: a black woman. But beyond that, he would not provide additional details.
“Should voters know?” the reporter asked. “Should voters know who you’re going to appoint?”

From biden

He admitted the first selection was based on race and gender: a black woman. But beyond that, he would not provide additional details.
“Should voters know?” the reporter asked. “Should voters know who you’re going to appoint?”
“No, they don’t, but they will if I’m elected. They’ll have plenty of time,” Biden answered.


This is EXACTLY how he's treating his platform -- keep it a big surprise until he's elected. Promise the voters that he has an amazing plan for health care and economic recovery, but don't reveal what it is until he's elected.

In other words, he doesn't have a plan. It's all BS. He's flying by the seat of his pants.

His campaign strategy is so far removed from what an average candidate should be doing right now that it's actually kind of comical. Why keep your platform a well guarded secret from the American voter? I don't get it...:crazycobasa:

Comments on the contenders:

Rushing being only 38 might help with the larger, more important demo of single women. Might be harder to bully a younger woman. Think of the hearings where an older woman is easier to paint as a fixture of the past. Generic speaking clip: https://youtu.be/x83oVVINglk

Barrett, a mom of 7, is easy to paint as a Karen-type, baby-maker, disconnected from single women, subservient to others. A large part of the leftist movement is to throw off responsibility and societal duty, and she epitomizes the opposite of that. Age 48. Generic interview: https://youtu.be/EJTRzB2pzmE

Lagoa, as well as helping with FL Cubans, might help with Hispanics in other states, age 52. Much smaller judicial record would be harder to attack, and harder to attack an hispanic. But also makes her a riskier bet, a la a David Souter situation. The one ruling pointed out to show her conservative bona fides is good, but it's only one. Nom to FL SC: https://youtu.be/PZCrIhm0dB8

Eid, I haven't heard mentioned much. She's 55, long judicial record would be easy to attack. Wouldn't help with any demo particularly. Can't find a good clip.

Clips of interviews are important. How they come across is make or break. Not to the Senate vote, but impact on the election.

Given these clips, Barrett comes across the quickest and sharpest! Lagoa and Rushing are solid but unremarkable. I started the post leaning Rushing but now lean Barrett.

[Iceaxe]

Biden can't release his policies or SCOTUS picks because whatever he does will anger half his supporters.... one pick alienates the radicals, the other pick alienates the centrists. The guy is best off keeping his mouth shut and not leaving the basement, which is exactly what he is doing. His handlers are doing a great job of keeping the gaff machine flying under the radar.

I haven't been paying too much attention to the news these last few days, as I've been running around Ford dealerships shopping for a truck for my camper (what a circus that is, BTW) but I'm surprised to see that Biden won't give any names to replace RBG should he end up making the choice.

You would think if he had something solid to place on the table, he would...it would be a counter to Barrett and if it's appealing to his "supporters", it would be a motivating attribute.

Instead he's got nothing? I can't believe that with RBG on her deathbed the Dems wouldn't have gotten a list lined up...perhaps even a forgone solid pick.

Nope...he can't spill the beans because "half" of his "supporters" would shit their pants...the "black chick" he's hinted at either would be too leftist or not leftist enough. I wonder if her name will leak out somehow...it would be interesting to see just where the liberal oligarch power brokers sit.

[BasinCruiser]

[Iceaxe]

Biden can't name SCOTUS picks because whoever he names will upset half of his base.... the Democrats are a dumpster fire at the moment. The only thing holding them together is their mutual unbridled hatred of Trump.

[oldno7]

I'm thinking that Trump, that magnificent bastard, has the dems in a pickle on the SCOTUS nominee.

The last thing democrats would/should want to do is a Bork/Kavanagh on Barrett.

The more they battle her in their usual despicable, baseless fashion, the more the Senate seats and in a bit of a stretch,

or not, the House, becomes a self lynching.

They are now sitting on the horse with a noose around their necks, attacking Barrett in the way they did Kavanaugh, will be kicking and spurring the horse to their demise.

I'm thinking they want to shock the country and process Barrett in an orderly fashion to eliminate rope burn around the neck. as always--YMMV

This very well may be a very quick confirmation.Indeed, that's why this notion of them boycotting the confirmation doesn't make any sense...to do so would be a complete denial of the system of order we have had...a complete rebuke, actually.

It's hard to believe that they actually think they have enough support behind them to pull this off or even that suggesting such a thing would have widespread appeal. To do so would be virtually a declaration of war. This would be worse than the bullshit impeachment.

Hard to figure...it's certainly understandable these days for the progressive pundits to fantasize about such a thing, but you have to wonder if the string pullers actually use them as chum to gauge reaction?

Watching the left try and figure out how to attack ACB is very entertaining... so far everything they have tossed at the wall has failed to stick.

Attacking her religion failed miserably last time around, but I expect they will try it again if they fail to find another option.

Attacking her for being a good mother of seven failed to work.

I can't wait to see where they go next.

[dougrz]

I expect the official line of attack to be on policy. Overturning Roe and Obamacare and probably affirmative action. And those arguments will have traction for undecideds.

We need them to go nuclear and personal instead. Which their minions will do, but gives the leadership a chance to disclaim them while letting them run a bit. The balance between these 2 narratives determines the outcome on the election.

Let's assume Hillary was nominated president in 2016 -- who would she have filled those seats with? :ne_nau:


Let's back up here since this question wasn't quite addressed. My question was not "what would America look like if Hillary were elected"?

My question was who specifically would Hillary have elected to the Supreme Court?

Give me some names as to who you believe she would have nominated, and why that would have been detrimental.

I'm thinking Merrick Garland is one of the candidates for sure, right?

[dougrz]

I'm thinking Merrick Garland is one of the candidates for sure, right?

I think Garland probably not. He was/is the chief of the DC circuit. Not left wing enough for their cause. It was a clever move by Obama to name the blandest, safest, but a reliable liberal judge, to counter what at the time seemed a hard 9 months to kill.

Your Q, who. Impossible to know. Who would have guessed Sotomayor? A ridiculous leftist, so devoid of any understanding of America or the Constitution. She's arguably more comfortable waving a Hugo Chavez flag than the US flag given her utterly repugnant views.

Kagan had zero judicial experience, and Sotomayor was a sitting judge. There are fleets of left wing activists (like RBG's history) and college administrators (like Kagan) and judges (like Sotomayor). No telling from where or who. Just a reliable leftist.

[Iceaxe]

First off Trump has only appointed 2 judges to the Supreme Court, his third nomination is still pending.

Hillary could nominate any radical left wing idiot she so desired, but so long as the GOP controls the Senate none of them were getting approved.

Assuming a direct Hillary for Trump swap she would have been forced to pick judges near the center to get them approved.

Being a member of the Senate and a member of the House is the difference between chicken salad and chicken shit. - Lyndon B. Johnson

[Iceaxe]

^^^FWIW - This is also why the GOP has no intention of waiting to confirm a SC Judge until after the election as they could easily lose seats or even control of the Senate this election. At which point Chuck Schumer would become speaker of the Senate and block a Trump nomination ala Mitch McConnell.

I'm thinking they actually will not. Let this seat go in order to, 1, not look as scary crazy as they did with Kav in order to not blow some close senate races. 2, knowing they can pack the court they don't care anyway.

If they do go all out bat shit with walk out stunts and attacks on her Christianity, it means they don't have the votes to pack the court.

The thing I haven't quite figured out is, why do they openly discuss packing still? Schumer alluded to it again today in an interview. That's awfully ballsy. Either a total bluff or they have polling showing they're going to storm the senate with +6 or +7 and the issue polls well.

The hearings will center around the newspaper ad ACB signed years ago opposing abortion. That's it, nothing else matters.

High risk for both sides. Possible ramifications, in order of likelihood:

1. +R. Dem's base is already fired up, this will do little to enhance turnout. But the Christian vote is probably depressed, and this would potentially up it a bit.

2. +D. Confirming someone "with her mind already made up" gives a tremendous boost to the argument for court packing.

3. +D. On the fence R's side with D's strictly on the "mind made up" argument. To head off, in their thinking, a court packing. A deal with the devil would badly demoralize our side as having been sold out, reinforce the D argument, and make us look wrong on principle.

3.5. +R. Dems go all-out anti-Christian.

4. +D. The abortion ad puts Collins of Maine in a particularly tought spot. You'd have to expect a no from her (and Murkowski) on this issue alone.

[dougrz]

And so it begins, point 2 above. Repubs are court packing. With an electorate informed by their Pravda media, they'll try to change the definition of court packing, as Sasse noted in calling it "Orwellian."

Fight to the death at this point.

Newt's article on the Dem's predicament is good: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court-senate-confirmation-hearing-newt-gingrich

Here is the odd thing about Biden and packing. If he stood up and said, "No, I will not tear the country apart and overturn 150 years of legal stability by packing. My presidency is about normalcy and calm and a return to order." He'd be hailed as a bridge builder and peace maker, able to shun the hard left. Would eliminate the argument he's a leftist trojan horse.

Senate Dem candidates would benefit also, no longer to be viewed as potential Constitution bombers. The MT D candidate is gone now that he came out for packing, for example. That race was a toss up and is now an R hold imo.

In my view, the disappoint on the hard left would pale to the relief in the middle and he'd gain.

Bizarre he hasn't done it. Each day that passes this issue works more for us. Even better? He probably can't backtrack now without looking like he's lying to staunch the losses. He needed to stand up to the left immediately.

Consider, if the Dems sweep, this level of insanity- Big Tech censorship, slashing of decent people like ACB, woke Twitter mobs controlling thought, and woke street mobs controlling day to day urban life- all becomes permanent. And more powerful.

Forever. Nothing in our lives untouched or safe.

Does it still not really matter rockgremlin? Just corporate Dem control with little difference? Amnesty and 20 to 60 million new voters won't happen and won't lock things in and make CA policy nationwide?

What a shit-show. Kamala and Cory Booker have again shown just how vile and mean they can be. The accusations that were hurled at ACB were simply unreal, unsubstantiated and meant in the most hateful way.

Democrats Hiss In Terror As ACB Pulls Out Crucifix

https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-7197-2.jpg

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Amy Coney Barrett has eloquently defended herself through the Senate confirmation hearings this morning. But as Dems grew increasingly vicious, she was forced to turn to desperate measures.

After several hours of hearings, Barrett pulled out a large crucifix and held it aloft. A light shone from the heavens, and the Democrats knew they were defeated.
They shrunk back and began to hiss. "Noooo!" cried Senator Richard Blumenthal. "It burns us! Take it away!" He dove under his desk to hide from its light.

What a shit-show. Kamala and Cory Booker have again shown just how vile and mean they can be. The accusations that were hurled at ACB were simply unreal, unsubstantiated and meant in the most hateful way.They're pretty bent out of shape because the shit sammie they're being forced to eat this time is...extra thick.

Think about it...their iconic hero, RBG dies and is replaced by an absolute polar opposite...their worst nightmare. Like a pissed off divorced wife watching her ex remarry the hottest chick in town. Quite frankly, I'm surprised the vitriol from them isn't heavier than it is.

We're not seeing huge crowds of pussy hats outside the SC building...I think that's telling, as it seems to me that they're demoralized.

Did you ever see the movie "The American President" with Micheal Douglas and Annette Bening? Richard Dreyfuss played a slimy, snarky, nasty, conniving Senator...his character was a caricature of the worst a person could be. Crazy how people like that actually exist and behave that way right in front of us...like a performance that they feel is appealing?

Yeah...appealing to miserable suckers.

So Biden does a 180 and says he'll reveal his court packing decision. After Barrett is confirmed.

Predictions? I think he'll push a "plan" rather than a straight expansion and pack. Giving a plausible deniability to packing while still packing.

And with 4 days till the election by then, their strategy is too few days for us to overcome the overwhelming initial media cover and praise.

Lee's comments were dead on. Sometimes he's amazing and fully gets it. Sometimes he's an idiot and abandons long term goals.

"Every norm broken, every act of escalation, one party, the Democrats, has been the aggressor in every single instance. At every step along the way our side has used our constitutional authority and the other side has abused its authority. There is no 'tit' for 'tat.' There’s just 'tat.' Democrats killed Judge Bork's nomination for partisan, political reasons. They killed Miguel Estrada's nomination for partisan, political reasons. They slandered Justice Thomas, Justice Alito and Justice Kavanaugh for partisan, political reasons. They nuked the filibuster, again for partisan political reasons and now they are trying to scuttle this hearing, this vote, for partisan political reasons. When it comes to the judiciary, abuse of power is their agenda," Lee said.

[BasinCruiser]

So, there apparently is a rule that at least 2 members of the minority party had to be in attendance to form a quorum for the nominating vote, so the Dems decided they would boycott it and thus stall the movement forward with the Senate vote. But Graham just gave them the double barreled middle finger and said - Nah, were not going to abide by that rule and hold the vote anyway and send this to the full Senate. :roflol:

So Murkowski announced she'll vote yes. Interesting.

Also, Repubs will resubmit their challenge on the PA signature and extended ballot counting deadline case. Pray ACB gives us a 5-4 ruling from the Roberts induced 4-4 tie last week.

[oldno7]

Vote coming very soon.

What a trip, huh? For the last two years we've been wondering when RBG was going to keel over and now with just a week before the election we're getting a top of the line replacement...smooth and easy, too.

I love it when a plan comes together.

I'm going tonight to get a massage from a very liberal therapist...I hope she's not in a shitty mood.

I hope this drives Republicans to the polls for 4 more years.

This was the impetus of nominating and electing Trump and it has paid off, in spades.

I'm going tonight to get a massage from a very liberal therapist...I hope she's not in a shitty mood.Well surprise, surprise. She was AWESOME. She 'aint no liberal no more...she got "woke" the other way.

Her business was shut down and although the gov was sending her $600 a week she sure as hell didn't like it. She's left all that progressive stuff in the dust...I'm amazed.

She's still worried about what the future might bring...y'now, what's next? If the gov shuts her down again she's going to go underground. She's sick of it.

[dougrz]

Beyond SC packing now, Pelosi and Coons openly talking about packing the lower courts as well. More districts, more seats.

A Dem sweep means a revolution, gutting the Const and any semblance of legal stability and independence.

Unbelievable times. Not sure how my "the Marxists are at the gates" comments haven't been dead on accurate all these months.

A black Supreme Court justice swearing in a woman Supreme Court justice- and the only people mad about it are Democrats. :cry1:

^ Speaking of their insane reasoning, CA prop 16 is to _mandate_ the state take race into account in hiring, firing, dollars, etc. And the D party openly supports this.

You cannot make this stuff up.

true that.

[BasinCruiser]

Are you telling me that when Quid Pro Quo Joe was speaking about respecting precedence, and stating that packing the courts was nothing but a despicable power grab- that was all just smoke?

I’m old enough to remember ( like 6 months ago) that when Trump was doing his legal appointed duty to fill an empty seat on the court, that the Dems were crying and wailing and demonizing him for ‘packing the courts’, and accusing him of accusing his power. Now, they are actually fixing to actually do that.
