What is gained by capitulation? You think a concession is going to induce the democrats to play by our rules? What in the last two decades could possibly make you think that that's a possibility? Oh gee, intentionally fill the seat with another Roberts, then *maybe* get another selection to get us to the point where we'd already have been, while the democrats play for keeps and will keep throwing up RBGs and Sotomayors no matter what. Sounds like a great idea.  | |||

Yup. Time to play nice and be timid is long over. What has "reaching across the aisle" with the commies got us? Zero. Whenever government is involved, there will be politics, whether it's the executive, the legislative, or the judicial branch. Don't wish for no polarization, because it's never going to happen.

A contested election, then a 4/4 split vote, then a vote in congress which Trump is expected to win. You asked what was gained, not whether it was enough. Those who forget the pasta are condemned to reheat it. | |||

Rice is a Bush RINO. And not even a J.D. Would be a huge mistake. Q | |||

On what basis do you assume Trump winning a vote that gets kicked to a Congress with a 34-seat dem majority? *edit* Never mind, stopped reading too soonThis message has been edited. Last edited by: bobtheelf, | |||

Because they vote by state, and Republicans control a majority of state delegations. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Yes, but in 2016, Joe was denying he ever said that, and was demanding the senate give Garland a vote. Of course he doesn't remember that... "I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989 Si vis pacem para bellum There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

I looked back several pages and didn't see this mentioned (sorry if I missed it): Just to add another dimension, if the upcoming election is contested, do we want that case to come before a court that could be divided 4-4? A 4-4 court can't decide anything. I would opine that it is urgent that a nomination be made early next week and confirmation completed well before the election. The clock is ticking. | |||

Yep and then I believe the lower court ruling stands and that could mean the something like the 9TH Circuit. I am in favor of President Trump and the senate going full steam ahead on the process to nominate a replacement Justice. Let the voting public see the process and how the democrats will try to smear and destroy anyone chosen like they did to Brett Kavanaugh, probably a woman, and go back to her high school classmates to hear made up preposterous maybe like she had an abortion. Let pelosi rant on how she is going to impeach Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas too. The "first" debate should be very interesting. I really hope this video is aired again as a political ad reminding how the democrats treat Supreme Court nominees, in this case a black nominee they tried to destroy via a "high tech lynching". | |||

Wait a week, then push someone through. The Democrats will never approve any nominee and there is no need for anothe Kavenaugh spectacle. Besides, the Dems already said they want to expand the number of Justices and pack the court. Biden will be oushed to put forth his Supreme Court picks | |||

I trust President Trump Is fully aware that history shows that attempting to appease the left is a losing proposition. | |||

Trying to "play nice and cooperate" has proven to not work so Trump needs to push ahead with a new pick right away. Screw the democrats and we damn sure don't need a centrist like Garland. She was a bitch right to the end with the "last wish" about replacing her, so she can go to hell as well. | |||

Maybe they should erect a statue in honor of RBG. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
When discussing a replacement remember this...the left has already said (and I believe them) that if they gain the WH and congress they will pack the court. And this was with a live RBG. Now is the time to press the attack, not let the foot off the gas. Ask yourself...what would the left do in this situation? Yea, exactly. Give no quarter on this issue. FOOT ON THE GAS.  | |||
