ABC News: Trump will put forward, in the next few days, the name of his nominee for SCOTUS, according to sources close to Trump
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
McConnell: “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”
My kind will likely be made illegal in the coming months. Can only hope and pray Canada or some other relatively free country will start accepting trans refugees soon.
I have so many words for McConnell right now that I should not say.
They will fold, stop waiting for Republicans to be upstanding. You are playing yourself.
What all fucking hardline conservative women seem to do in history.
Vote against themselves.
Idc if I get a ban, but I hope McConnell's death is painful.
She'll be disappointed as she pulls the lever on voting "yes" for the nominee.
I fully expect the next justice to be a woman as the biggest "Fuck you" to the legacy of RBG and the vote that will be able to strike down "Roe v. Wade"
I'll say it for you. Fascist enablers like McConnell should fucking die.
They don't care that they are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. They have power. That's all this is about.
What, didn't you hear? The new excuse is that they get to change the rules since they control the senate, or that it's Harry Reid's fault, or whatever.
Not a single honest bone in their bodies. Fuck them.
So if Trump loses the election, wouldn't he still be able to put someone up for other Supreme Court between November and January 20th?
Im not sure how the intermediate phase works

If he's able to do this I don't see anyway he doesn't try to out of spite alone.
Yeah there's no way this seat isn't getting filled before the inauguration
Unless I'm mistaken, the new Congress (including the Senate) actually sits prior to the President's inauguration, earlier in January, so if the dems were to theoretically take the Senate, the timing is actually a little bit smaller, but yes.
It's the exact justification I predicted for years.
"Senate and President being unified is the American people having spoken."
It's gross but what can you do against a Machiavellian nihilist
History is going to look on that election so badly. That was the chance.
Until they say this publicly AFTER tonight, I don't believe any of this.
It's going to be some 30-year old shitheel who can survive on the bench for 50+ years.
He moved the goalpost to not confirming opposition nominees before an election
I'm just despairventing
But on the other hand, the Trump-Republican alliance is based on a coincidental overlap of benefits. Trump doesn't give a shit about Republicans, and isn't going to put the long term aims of the GOP over maximizing the benefit to himself. Maybe it won't end up being him putting his number one anti-law stooge on the SC, but he's gonna wring that seat for all it's worth.
All I can think about right now are the Democrats and independents who chose to sit out the 2016 election.
Hmm, there's not much time left, are there any "unprecedented" actions that are "uncouth" that the Democrats can take, like lawsuits, not sitting for a quorum, pulling the fire alarm, threatening the government shutdown etc.?
What a tired set of responses for a party that only POTUS winner in the last decade wasn't the one they wanted.
That should be stark but instead we have hot takes instead of looking at such facts presented and concluding dems don't put up candidates people really want to vote for.
We're fucked.
They're going to speedtrack whatever fucking quack (if I recall they really liked the fucking Handmaiden) and there's literally nothing we can do. "GO VOTE" yeah, not this time. We needed to vote 4 years ago to stop this. Mitch will proceed with this even if someone broke into his house and held him at gunpoint to stop. And with that the SCOTUS is fucked for the rest of my life. If Democrats don't take everything and no-mercy change shit I don't know what to do.
Welp, there's that life-crushing despair seeping in. For a while I thought things were actually going to be okay. So much for that.

Maybe while they're celebrating, four Republican Senators will catch the Covid and not be able to vote.
