With our current Senate majority, the dems don’t even have to show up. | |||

I think the Left shot its wad during the Kavanaugh confirmation. Resistance from here will have to be more sophisticated and subtle or risk being exposed for the subversives they are. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

A comment on my wife’s post regarding this on the book of faces - “Can you imagine!! I see a ‘Weekend at Bernie's’ scenario..they will cart her corpse around and pass her off as alive before they allow Trump another nomination!!!” I am not BIPOLAR. I don't even like bears. | |||

If the inevitable should happen to RBG, I hope it is sooner than later so we don't get into the "no appointments within one year of the election" crap. It worked to Trump's favor the last time but if she hangs on it could work against this time. With a larger majority in the Senate now, perhaps not an issue if she continues on. Just tell the Dems "Tough Shit" and confirm. The “POLICE" Their job Is To Save Your Ass, Not Kiss It The muzzle end of a .45 pretty much says "go away" in any language - Clint Smith | |||

This. If she was just someone's grandma, sure I'd feel bad for her. But, she's not just some grandma. She is a Supreme Court Justice even though she is not competent to fulfill her duties (and hasn't been for some time). IMO, spite is the only reason she has not stepped down. So, if this tumble is what it takes to remove her, so be it. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Actually they are not that intelligent, they will continue to use the same old playbook. They don't care if they look like subversives as long as they are preaching to their true believers. It is what they do. | |||

So educate me... What happens in the extended absence of a Justice? Is it business as usual or will critical votes be postponed? Can she absentee vote despite missing actual proceedings and wouldn't people bringing cases that needed her vote wait to bring or postpone their cases? Collecting dust. | |||

My President will soon get another Supreme court appointment. Winning, MAGA. Never gets old and happens a lot lately!   | |||

It's only Trump's first term. When the Republicans held up Obama's nominee, he was at the end of his 2nd term. Furthermore, voters just increased the Republicans' hold on the Senate, affirming in my mind that they want more of President Trump's supreme court picks on the Court. So in closing, yeah, tell the dems to stuff and confirm away. Absolutely. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Rest assured all, if anything worst happens to her the Dims will keep her in a coma on life support and tube feed her until 2020 or may be 2024. Awake not woke | |||

There are only 3 ways to remove a justice from the bench. 1) death 2) retirement 3) impeachment To impeach takes 2/3 of both houses...not going to happen. So it's just business as usual. They will hear cases with 8 justices. | |||

Soon as President Trump heard, he sent flowers.  "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Now in Florida |
I remember a while back seeing McConnell talk about the Biden Rule applying to instances where the Senate majority and the President were from different parties. He is definitely laying the groundwork for confirmation of a Trump nominee should RBG kick the bucket in the next two years. The media and the Dems will raise hell, but (1) they didn't believe in the Biden rule for the Garland nomination so it's tough for them to argue in favor of it now and (2) they will raise hell no matter what. | |||

Are you sure they haven't been doing that for the last four years??? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us.
