The amount of civil unrest and protests would be fucking massive if they GOP tries to replace her with a right wing nut. Would be the straw that breaks the camels back.
I'm telling y'all right now: Heaven forbid, but if she doesn't make it to January 21, 2021, there will be NO Supreme Court Justice nominations being considered by the Senate. ZERO.
Really? We'd see a bunch of token resistance and then the Republicans would do whatever they want. Meanwhile everyone would complain on Twitter and then move on.The amount of civil unrest and protests would be fucking massive if they GOP tries to replace her with a right wing nut.

Depends on what you mean. It should be the duty of everyone against the far right to ensure they lose in the next election. But right now, we're in a primary. And it is so important to crap on Joe Biden, precisely because he is invested in lying about the danger Republicans at large pose to everyone. Not good at all.17 months. I don't know if we're going to make it.
Maybe this realization will make a lot of you shut up and stop shitting on your own party when there are far more important issues at stake. But I doubt it.
what on earth would give you that impression? if any more supreme court seats open under Trump, the republican senate will fill it. installing an ultra-conservative judiciary is the whole reason for their existence and there is literally nothing democrats can do to stop it as long as they hold the presidency and 50 senate seats.I'm telling y'all right now: Heaven forbid, but if she doesn't make it to January 21, 2021, there will be NO Supreme Court Justice nominations being considered by the Senate.

You register any voters or flip nonvoters in the meantime?Those fuckers who "didn't like Hillary" really screwed us for most of our lifetimes. Die in a fucking fire.
LOL

Same. Worrying about (notorious) RBG's cancer is going to give me an ulcer at the very least.Heart skips a beat with every time a news title has her name in it.
Not aloneI try not to think about her health as it will give me an ulcer
What? If she died tomorrow, they would have a new justice by end of Oct. if she died on Nov 1st, you could bet your ass there would be a new justice by end of year.
What? Mitch McConnell has already said that he absolutely would fill a seat if one opened during the election. If she dies, it's happening.

As a public servant she absolutely does. She is such a public figure BY CHOICE that her health is most certainly not in a bottle and subject to scrutiny.
Lol what the hell do you think is gonna happen?I wasn't referring to what McConnell will try to do. He's waited his entire life to change the balance of the Supreme Court. I'm talking about what the PUBLIC will allow. I seriously doubt folks will stand idly by if the Senate allows Trump to have a third seat. Yeah, you're gonna say, "how's this time different from when Trump started the Muslim ban, or locking children in cages?" Having a 6-3 rightward slant will directly impact folks on the left, which will definitely get butts out of seats to protest and disrupt.
This is what I fear.As someone who has known many (young) cancer patients and watched as the disease progressed, it's hard to buy the "all is well" statements. First she had surgery on her lungs for cancer, now a few months later she's having "treatment" done for pancreatic cancer. This is just plain not looking good, even without accounting for her age.
This is some stupid shit, there are massive differences and if you didn't vote Hillary this is on you.Don't you think democrats ought to do better than just pull up a sign that says "we are not the republican party"?
It can work. Look at Puerto Rico. But obviously it has to be a massive multi state movement.

She's held on for a long time. She must also know if she goes that it's going to be bad for the country
As a public servant she absolutely does. She is such a public figure BY CHOICE that her health is most certainly not in a bottle and subject to scrutiny.
If she doesn't want to be subject to criticism about how her hubris put the welfare of millions at stake she could've retired. Serving on the highest court in the country ain't like some goddamn pop music career; with power comes responsibility.
This is her fourth cancer surgery. Colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009, lung cancer in 2018, and now pancreatic cancer again in 2019.

It's almost like we could be shoring up political capital for stacking the courts by delegitimizing this laughably corrupt administration but our House leadership is completely letting us down or something.17 months. I don't know if we're going to make it.

there are massive differences between the parties and if you can't recognize that the democrats would be immeasurably better on, say, THE SUPREME COURT, you are a moron. i'm sorry. we had a chance to put a left-leaning majority on the court for the first time in decades and blew it and now there's a decent chance it'll end up 6-3 conservative or worse.Don't you think democrats ought to do better than just pull up a sign that says "we are not the republican party"?
yes. if you aren't scared shitless, you don't understand the stakes.
Right?Heart skips a beat with every time a news title has her name in it.
Hm I'm glad that she has tolerated treatment.
However I'm in the medical field, and a "malignant pancreatic tumor with bile duct stent placement," is a dire scenario for anyone, let alone someone that old.
If the wording used is accurate of course. None of us know the details of her diagnosis other than her physicians, and there are various different types of tumors that affect that region. I hope she hangs in there, but there is a very real scenario she can get seriously sick in the near future.
I'm not saying this to scare anyone, but it's my semi-professional hunch.
