Notorious R.B.G. dead at 87 - Replace her before January 17th, 2021?

[vantexan]

McConnell used the so called "Biden Rule" to support his refusal to give Garland a vote. The so called Biden Rule was a speech Biden while chairman of SJC made in front of the Senate even though there were no openings on SCOTUS at the time where he stated his belief that there should be no vote on a SCOTUS candidate in an election year That's what McConnell used to help back his refusal to vote on the Garland nomination
So if the so called Biden Rule was a basis for the Garland nonvote in 2016 why doesn't it apply now? What's the difference between two events?
The reps are in a tough situation. Rush through a new appointee just ahead of the election and risk losing control thanks to a huge female voter backlash or try to ram it through post election in a lame duck congress after it loses both Senate control and the White House.

The GOP has a lot to lose in November.

Three Supreme Court judges were appointed in less than 45 days including Ginsburg herself. And the precedent since if I remember right 1888, maybe earlier, is that no nominations happen in a presidential election year where the president is of one party and the Senate is controlled by the other party.

Begin nominations immediately!

 

[Old Man Jingles]

if they're born here, to parents born here....they're not Mexican.

But they may not be American unless their values align with this chart!

But maybe plan to confirm after November 3rd?
Get all the hype and motivation to vote Republican but defer the handicap of voting for confirmation?

This was my first reaction ... what do you think?

 

[bacha29]

Lol. How do they have a lot to lose if they "ram it through" after the election?

Even if the Republicans lost, there's nothing the Democrats can do to stop it.

One way or another, y'all gonna get another conservative on the bench...

If they try to ram through a new appointee and they get thumped as badly as some suggest in November it and the party as a whole could easily be perceived as a parting shot by a bunch of bitter, old, sore loser white men. And that doesn't bode well for a party that has tried albeit with limited success to project itself as an all inclusive, broad based political coalition. In fact all that McConnell could tell him majority was...."keep your party dry".

Then again why would you care since you're moving to Bezerkistan or Lower Slobovia or wherever.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

What's it like to support women doing your fighting for you?

Ask a UPSer since their CEO is a woman!

Correction: That's Vantexan who's moving there. BTW, if you're UPS/ Teamster and there's an inflexible/ unyielding conservative majority on SCOTUS there will be in front of the court an avalanche anti labor union busting appeals that stands a chance to prevail in front of that court. Should it prevail and you want to see what UPS will look like in the aftermath?.....Fedex Ground.

 

[Old Man Jingles]

So you support losing women instead of letting your dad lose a son?

It's better for your dad to lose a son than for you to brag about how well a girl fights for you.

I support losing a woman over losing a man.
Women tend to be DemWits ... Men tend to be Repugs.
Simple equation for me.

PS - I support women's rights to an abortion for the same reason!

Most likely "Mexicans" don't go to Home Depot to get illegal workers, most likely it's gringos. Be yourself, no reason to dress up.

Leave "Mexicans" alone.
Personally, I know 3 "Mexicans," 2 Army, 1 Marine, all retired, all born here, to parents born here. Same family.
Mexican descent, they all look "Mexican," bloodline not changed until their children.

You don't have to be a jackass to be an American.
I understand your problem with illegals however, I have the same.

I should have been more clear but thought I was stating the obvious when I said take them to the ICE center. If i took legal mexicans to the ICE center theyd just arrest me for kidnapping

I think it will be a female!

I hope he chooses someone so far to the right that Hitler comes back from the dead and says, "okay take it easy man"... (even though Hitler was a far left socialist, just stirring the pot)...

@542thruNthru Weren't you USMC? or does anyone on here know a user, or even Army I want to have an infantryman give their input if possible.

@floridays @wilberforce15

Here's my personal opinion, in regards to females serving in combat in the Marine Corps:

I don't have one. I didn't see combat. You would need to ask someone who has, they can tell you. Only infantrymen should be able to make that call or give input IMO, as to whether or not female Marines are effective in the infantry 0311.

Or you could ask a female infantrymen that you would swear dude looked like a lady

I was 0311(infantry) my first 4 years on active duty, cross trained as 0313 (light armored reconnaissance) while in the reserves, got out as a SSGT. As long as women can meet the same physical standards as men they can serve in the same MOS, imo.
