Media Figures Threaten Riots If GOP Tries To Fill SCOTUS Seat: Burn It All Down | The Daily Wire

www.dailywire.com

You know what you do to bullies? Yeah, that's what you do. They want a war? I say give 'em one. Beyond tired of the BS and their approach over the last number of months.

Good for them. Truly don't give a shit. They will riot in cities, which are all democrat run. It's like smashing your TV because you don't like what was on it. And it will get more votes for Trump as well.

Also I'm pretty sure the bulk of people who actually give a shit about rbg are nothing but keyboard warriors. I don't see the blm and antifa terrorists actually caring much about her.

As for a replacement Murkowski and everybody's favorite Romney are going to fuck us. That means two more votes and a tie breaker can't be given by Pence.

In that case, when Trump most likely loses in November the seat will be all ready for Pelosi--I mean Biden to nominate in January/February.

Lefty meltdown... For your viewing pleasure




I thought that this might be fake...

Then I remembered the saying... "Liberalism is a mental disorder."

Fantastic start to my morning.

Don't worry, @Blimey negated that start you had.

Don't worry, @Blimey negated that start you had.

Well I agreed with some talk last night about this firing up lefties but it may fire up righties as well if Trump can't get a replacement in. This is definitely a grenade in the whole thing. It's hard to see how it plays out, but if the traitors in the senate would piss off for a bit, I really want Trump to push a replacement. He is president and has the senate. Get it done.

Ooof, not the best of timing.. this will fire up the Left something fierce.

From the treehouse ....
The death of RGB has dramatically changed the landscape of the election. It is no longer Trump versus Biden per se, but Trump’s SCOTUS CANDIDATES versus BIDEN’S SCOTUS CANDIDATES and the directions of this country. The STAKES are very high.

RIP Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - The Last Refuge

The Supreme Court has announced the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the age of 87 from complications due to metastatic cancer of the pancreas. The 2020 election is officially in hyper-drive… SCOTUS – Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this evening surrounded by her family at...

Whoever the the nominee turns out to be, request the hearing to be made through Zoom.
Sally Yates testified from her house. This should be the same.
That will prevent the left from turning the hearing into a circus. No more paid anarchists in the room screaming.
Due to Covid no one allowed in the Senate floor. Closed to the public.
Saul Alisky the hell out of these bastards.

  This! As long as a single business remains shuttered in this country due to COVID, the public viewing area of the Senate chamber should be empty. In fact, clear the streets around the Capital Building to ensure no one is spreading the virus…..

 

[Bigfoot]

I would bet that a lot of the average liberals do not know very much about RBG. Especially the young ones.
But their media gods and social media peers tell them that they should be very upset about the death of RBG.

So the liberals are going to go batshit crazy and flood the streets with liberal tears.

And of course, the commies will burn, loot, murder... Well, because that's what they do.

Lets see if Cocaine Mitch has the stones to be a boss.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Just read that the average number of days from nomination to appointment puts any possible new SCOTUS candidate past the election date. Can't remember exactly how many days, but all well past 40 days. I wonder how this plays out overall. Some here could help educate ( knowledgeable in process) -
If the nomination confirming process begins before the election, Republicans would obviously choose a conservative justice.
Process underway. Currently Republicans hold the Senate (obviously).
Election day happens.
Devil's advocate scenario.
Republicans lose control of the Senate ( a distinct possibility)
Democrats take control of the Senate.
Original Scotus nominee rejected .

Is this a potentially real scenario?
If so, this could go soooooo many different ways dependent the presidential election.

Looking for an honest answer, factually speaking.

Yes, the average is definitely long. But if it's a priority it can be shortened, and Trump has already floated the names before. They realistically have enough time, were elected into office, and given the powers to do it. Unless the republican traitors sink this (and they very well might), I definitely want to see it done.

Thank you for clarity. If I remember correctly, the average confirmation takes around 80 or so days, so still well within thier elected terms. Nonetheless it still may have an impact on senatorial races this election cycle.

Can a president nominate himself for SCOTUS? That would cause an epic meltdown.

I bet he announces his choice today.

 

[masterswimmer]

I would normally agree with you but......
A SCOTUS justice has ONE job....follow the constitution as it was written. Anything else is beyond their job.
They do not do murder cases, they uphold the constitution.
RBG has a lengthy record of not doing that job.
Take her stand on the 2nd amendment.
She believed it was outdated sinse the days of nreding a musket for use in a militia.
Well, that does not follow in the words of the 2nd amendment.
Do we not still need to fear an overpowering government?
Do we not need to protect our families and country from enemies foreign and domestic?
Do we not still need to protect our homes from criminals who wish to do us harm?
So, dont we STILL need a "musket" in our home?
And using the 14th amendment as a way to allow gay marriage even though the constitution plainly states this would be a state issue.
To be clear, im fine with gay marrige, I just dont believe it should have been a federal decicion.
I could go on ad nauseum about her interpretation of the constitution which always lands firmly on her civil rights, progressive interpretations often in contrast to the original meaning in the constitution.
God bless her for standing up for what she believes in but being a SCOTUS justice isnt the place.

I agree with the way you're describing her interpretation of the Constitution and her responsibility to uphold it. I will still rise above the lowly position of expressing glee and joyful exuberance of her death. Make no mistake about it, I'm glad she's no longer a SCOTUS Justice. That doesn't mean I will do the happy dance because she died. I will do the happy dance because Trump will hopefully get to nominate her successor.

Even Trump showed class with his choice of words when he heard of her passing.

While I have no happy dance either I certainly haven't shed any tears (theoretically speaking).

I bet he announces his choice today.

He was on to something when he announced the short list a couple weeks ago.

As per the article I posted, McConnel made a great point.

Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year,” McConnell wrote."

This defends the reasoning behind not voting on an opposite parties nominee. And it supports a vote on a nominee when the pres and senate are in the same party.

Shumer should be happy to get this nomination done before election day. Think of all the money they can throw at rigging the presidential election in stead of rigging all those senatorial races.

And with the very real chance of a contested presidential election the supreme court needs to be able to render a tie breaking ruling.


Can you imagine a contested election and SCOTUS splits 4 votes each way? Absolute chaos results.

Obama Statement on Ginsburg Demands GOP Senate Honors Her Dying ‘Instructions’ and Put Off Vote on Supreme Court Nominee Until New President Sworn In
Former President Barack Obama issued a statement late Friday night on the passing of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The statement was posted to the online site Medium.

In the statement, Obama demanded the Republican controlled Senate not vote on any replacement for Ginsburg until a new president is sworn following the November presidential election. Obama cited his failed 2016 nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to back up his support for Ginsburg’s reported dying “instructions” that her replacement be nominated by a new president (“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”)

Four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing or an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn’t fill an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in.

A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment. The rule of law, the legitimacy of our courts, the fundamental workings of our democracy all depend on that basic principle. As votes are already being cast in this election, Republican Senators are now called to apply that standard. The questions before the Court now and in the coming years — with decisions that will determine whether or not our economy is fair, our society is just, women are treated equally, our planet survives, and our democracy endures — are too consequential to future generations for courts to be filled through anything less than an unimpeachable process.

Nothing personal but fuck her "Dying 'Instructions'." What does that have to do with the price of butter in India? Again, liberals operate on NOTHING but emotion.

If Ruthie wanted BHO to have any opinion on her replacement she would have retired years ago. FUBHO
