Conservative women will love him seating Barrett though.

Interesting how just last week Trump released a list of potential SC nominees.

RIP and condolences to her family and friends.

As for the rest of us—buckle up, here we go!

If Democrats control the White House and Congress they can. There is nothing in the constitution that can stop them.

LOL! That's an empty threat if I ever heard one. The Democrats have been playing scorched earth politics ever since Trump won. So that will continue? Oh, no!

No she is not. She is the leader of the Democrats in the HOUSE. Chuck Schumer does not take marching orders from her.

RIP Ms. Ginsburg as you were a credit to your position. She herself has said the court should not be expanded. Trump should appoint because if Obama had a dem Senate, Garland would be on the bench. Amy Coney Barrett is a good choice.

But Trump will get more women to vote for him by picking a woman for new justice.
