1) Excuse me the Supreme Court being stacked by the Senate.
2) Amy Barrett was named as a federal judge, not a Supreme Court Justice, she needs further vetting to be a justice rather than a federal judge.
3) No that is hypocritical and I call it out on both sides. McConnell stalled for months when it was Obama and doesn't when it is Trump, that is BLATANT hypocrisy and it is right in your face. You choose not to see it because "Go Team Red."
1. So when you say "stacked", what you really mean is the senate following the proper process to nominate and elect a new Justice.
2. Of course, and they will get the opportunity to say again that she is very well qualified.
3. The difference in the circumstances is clear and has been pointed out. Ignore reality all you like, but facts don't change because it doesn't suit you.
4. If the shoe were on the Dems foot, they would have already commenced the nomination process. As you know.
Which would result in a new low in judicial ethics -- unseen since FDR's attempt tp "pack" the high court in the 1930's (a time when respect and civility were under attack over the entire world).
It would, but it would be the only logical response to the new low McConnell has taken us.
Now we still have a REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED SENATE IN 2020. McConnell should ramrod another conservative justice to the SCOTUS before the election. Could it affect some Senate elections? Maybe. But it is more important to control the SCOTUS than the future Senate.
Are you sure? A President Biden and a Democratic majority Senate could decide to pack the court. Nothing stopping a president Biden from nominating 2 or 4 liberal justices if he wants to.
At first I thought Trump should use a delay to get re-elected ("vote for me, or else the Dems will install another communist"), but I think they should probably ram RBG's replacement through.
no reason not to fill the vacancy. Senate terms don't end until Jan 3, 2021, more than enough time to nominate, have a hearing, and vote.
The Democrats are willing to make America a third world country. So it is imperative to slow down the envy-driven progressive-collectivist agenda by any means necessary. That means getting a conservative justice in place to slow things down should Trump lose the election. The democrats would not stand on ceremony in the same circumstance, they are ruthless. Especially now, literally... This is the time to be 100% hypocritical and do the right thing. Without apology.
