one week after Election Day in deep peril, as Ginsburg's death leaves only four justices who upheld the law in 2012. And some Republicans are insisting on replacing Ginsburg with a jurist who opposes Roe v. Wade, which made abortion a right.
The election is in 44 days, but the next Congress isn't sworn in for 106 days. Republicans could use the lame duck session after the election to confirm a justice. Some conservatives expect a confirmation hearing before the Nov. 3 election and a final vote after the election. A GOP senator, who spoke about strategy on the condition of anonymity, said the party"will have to listen carefully to the vulnerable members on the ballot before cementing a schedule," but expected a Trump-picked justice to be confirmed this year.Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who faces a tough re-election race this fall, was the first Republican who came out after Ginsburg's death to announce her opposition to voting on a Supreme Court nominee before the election.
Shut down the government.
They'll not vote against it but rather abstain from voting like the Kavanaugh vote
Chuck Schumer is not a Dem. we are fucked already.
Yes there is more than you are reporting . More responsible reporting please!!!!
Impeach his ass. That will stop it.
RBG vitiated her dying wish . She could not CHOOSE the moment of the end of her LIFE , as she advocated for CHOICE in ending life . Irony at its best , or the power of providence .
YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME for any of that. There are People awaiting to take over this PLANET: the RIGHTFUL OWNERS. I KNOW YOU ALL BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE HUMANS. But Humans is ONE RACE ONLY. So who are you? THE TRUTH COMING OUT SOON. Apocalypse Armageddon
Won’t happen. President Trump will get in Best choice
LMAO That’s right, you do!!! Payback time, bitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stack the bench and focus on the election.
The democrats failed Americans when Obama and Biden let medical providers kill over 2,000,000 great Christian Americans for lobbyist dollars
Can you imagine if Pelisi had a ovt talk with McConnell then gave a news conference saying Trump told McConnell that for $50 million for the wall added to the budget he wouldn't nominate a SCOTUS replacement. Lie or not it would shatter the MAGAts.
The shady do nothing left at it again.
If Dems pack the court they’ll lose the mid-terms and along w/ it their agenda...then Rs will add more seats to the court. Tit for tat. Or, maybe, Ds can be adults & deal w/ a loss and not try another blow-up-in-their face filibuster move. They never learn. Petulant children.
And by capture, Democrats mean by force through the use of violence and intimidation.
Then when we get the chance, we’ll expand the court again. Then Democrats will expand it even more, and then we’ll retaliate. In the end, the Supreme Court will be a silly committee of a hundred partisan hack lawyers that sounds like the dysfunctional House of Representatives.
They’re panicking once again. The Supreme Court will tilt conservative for over a decade and its amazing.
Demorats are losers.
Sorry my domestic enemy democrats, but Americans are fighting back to protect and defend OUR Nation from all enemies both foreign or democrat. A Nation dem hate, a Nation that dems say has NEVER been great. A Nation people around the world would risk life to have what dems hate.
Trump is on the right side of history
Let's listen to JoeBiden.
I pray they get it
Democrats have been moving the goal posts for decades
Love seeing $***bag libtards melt down. Been saying for 2 yrs Trump's going to get his 3rd justice before he even starts his 2nd term. ENJOY the $***show. I AM.
Had enough folks? Dems can't handle losing anymore and will make changes they always come to regret. Vote them out.
FDR's court stacking approach is being revived. It didn't get out of commity then, and doubtful congress is into changing the shape of government almost a 100 years later.
What’s scary is that their are zero democrats that vote their own way. Like a cult or something.
Republicans prefer to jam through a SCOTUS nomination rather than work out a new stimulus package for thousands of Americans facing eviction from their homes and food insecurity. The GOP puts power before people every damn time.

Absolutely! We will make our democracy upright again.
Remember folks, when the Dunkin Donuts Man says, 'Time to make the donuts', there is no time delay. Yet, Delusional Dems want the Donut Man to wait until closing to make your donuts. Same rule shall apply to President Trump in a timely nomination for a SCOTUS Judge. No excuses.
Hey it’s incredibly frustrating after 4 years of Trump and bullsh*t by Republicans that you’re still accepting the premise of Republicans being craven, hypocritical a**holes, and that’s it’s a Democrat problem to solve, rather than a disgusting move by Republicans.
Like the losing team adding a 10th inning then a 11th and a 12th until they’re finally ahead
If you add seats they could just do the same thing next time they win the Senate and White House. Getting into a game like that seems very short sighted
Nothing but a bunch of whiny, biatches!
1/ I am a life-long Democrat and this expanding the Supreme Court thing is ridiculous. I understand the premise but that's a GOP-like response. There are better responses to the current situation. This one gives the base talking points and turns off moderates.
They either do it, keep their promise abt not doing this this close to election, or we stack the court!
This shows you how power mad the left are.
Yeh... go adhead. You ain't seen any riots yet
Collins & Romney for sure
Y LA DIVISION DE PODERES?
Those girly men are afraid of Trump
Don’t pass their budget, don’t increase the debt ceiling.
HouseDemocrats should consider passing new articles of impeachment & deliver to SenateFloor, forcing Senate to drop all activity for trial. Impeach, acquit, repeat strategy may be only way to prevent replacing RBG before Inauguration newjusticenopeace forthepeople scotus
And after that our first order of business is to make it like Orange Menace NEVER HAPPENED. And we will follow thru on that promise to never hear or see from him again. PrisonAwaits
Not surprised that the Dems would want th change the rules - again. They are so desperate.
Just when you think 2020 & US INJustice Couldn't Get Worse! Thomas Jefferson was correct; 'Revolution' Becomes a Rational Decision!
Democrats are threatening this country and our constitution. America better wake up!
Impeachment takes precedence over confirming judges. Impeach Barr or the potus again!
Why would Democrats retaliate
Let’s see if they can pull this off, Democrats haven’t done much since Obama left
hey two can abuse power
That’s the problem with Dems,they are all about retaliation, revenge, rage and hate
Can't play fair? Change the rules to the game....lol typical leftists.
Chuck always looks wimpy
lisamurkowski SenatorCollins SenatorRomney the worst GOP senators EVER. They allowed Dems to impeach realDonaldTrump in an election year but say the seat shouldn’t be filled in an election year? Give me a damn break. Look at this obama tweet from 2016
I don’t understand politicians.. if I do it, is alright but if you do the exact something is bad and is not allowed. This is the same thing. 2016 Obama couldn’t nominate a Supreme Court judge because it was election time and now Republicans want to do the same 🤔what going Rep?
Then fill the seat already!
It shouldn’t be all Democrats here. Some, SOME republicans should have enough integrity and honor in their slimy veins to stand up to this atrocity!
If a democratic was in office, we know they wouldn't give the courtesy of waiting till after the election
TheDemocrats should add 4 more seats, abolish the electoral college & grant statehood to Puerto Rico. There’d never be a Republican president ever again.
Lol.... hopefully that'll need to go to the Supreme Court!
Or impeachment.
They are also casually threatening war but you won’t report on that because NBC is democrat propaganda.
The seat is gone, Trump will appoint a radical right wing female who is counter to everything RBG stood for. Just like GWB put Clarence Thomas in Thurgood Marshall's seat. By the way, Chuck Schumer is not a progressive.
“The president is elected for four years, not three years, so the power he has in year three continues into year four,” she said. “And maybe our members of the Senate will wake up and appreciate that that’s how it should be.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (September 2016)
So you Don’t? have a horse in this race.
God we need you now !
Dems have had it rough
Seems quite extreme. But not surprised.
Need to vote in BarbaraLagoa asap!
They acused the legitimate government from Cuba & Venezuela of indoctrinate their people, who choose FIDEL & MADURO as they president. But I never see Trump fans more indoctrinated than the USA Republicans senators. government to indoctrinate people.
So throw a temper tantrum. Gotcha.
So, how is this not concerning You lose, and now you want to change the rules. Everyone reading this should be frightened by this!!! This is not how we function. You might as well say you didn’t win a game, so you change the rules of the game so you can’t lose again. Wake up!!!
Why don't they just impeach trump? LMFAO
4moreseats Do it.
Please. Let’s not pretend like they weren’t already planning on doing this, as well as killing the filibuster, and adding two states should they get control in November. I have no doubt if they win, they’ll still do it regardless of what the GOP does with the SCOTUS seat.
Lol
Trump is re-elected, new Justice is a conservative woman, Senate stays Republican, Democrats lose seats in House. Christmas is going to suck for Leftists.. and they earned it
There’s no reason Trump’s nominee can’t be confirmed before Nov. 3rd: 1975—Justice Stevens, 16 days between nomination & confirmation 1981—Justice O’Connor, 33 days between nomination & confirmation 1993—Justice Ginsburg, 42 days between nomination & confirmation Fill the seat.
So if Hillary was President, you think Democrats would be saying the same thing? Cmon!
Retribution is a bitch Kavanaugh
Of course! Brilliant. Change the rules to win.
Yeah. That sounds Constitutional. Anything for Demoncrats to keep POWER
But judges in the highest court in the land are all unbiased and vote on the merits of the case before them - or is this not the case in 'the world's greatest democracy' where 'the rule of law prevails'?- asking for a naive non-American friend.
It's not worth it. Let them have their pick. Only a fool would put their faith in someone like Susan Collins. I'll gladly take Uncle Joe in the White House in January over a SCOTUS pick. McConnell can have it.
Corona virus prophecy of Jesus Christ given by Dr. Owuor. Alert has been given worldwide but world Mocked God & All the international intelligence agencies failed & proven to be good for nothing in the front of Jesus Christ My elder brother the king of kings and Lord of lords.
+ impeach kavanaugh for lying
or: ask for unanimous consent on every vote from now til nov 30, budget limit them, limit the debt ceiling, impeach Trump (again 💕), or threaten to put Hillary on the court even just for 3 years. then pack the court of all else fails
Democrats: I know let’s change the senate rules again while we’re in power. Fast forward 8 years ....what’s going on how can they ram all this though congress. shortsighted
I know if democrats controlled the Senate and Presidency then the Supreme court nominee would of been selected yesterday. President Trump should put forth a nominee next week. Everyone knew Ginsberg was ill for months. President Trump should nominate NOW.
Voters need to convince 4 or more GOP Senators to say no to MoscowMitch plan to vote for SCOTUS. 2020 and 2022 GOP depends on it.
It’s actually a good idea
The Senate voted not to impeach Trump. They voted for Kavanaugh knowing he lied to Congress. Vote Democrat for a better America.
crazy…
😹🤣😘
'Capture' wow writers at really want to get fucked once this so called revolution takes place
Sore losers?
Unfortunately that’s true. Decorum and respect for a dying wish is the least of priorities for this administration even tho they are entitled to do it.
It's amazing how much resistance there is to building a supremecourt that interprets the constitution as written and doesn't legislate from the bench.
Revenge is a dish beat eaten cold. See Kavanagh.
Democrats will likely win in November and will likely pack the court regardless of what the republicans do with RBGs seat. Sigh. I guess total politicization of the court was inevitable.
There are other things we can do to remove conservative judges.
That’ll never happen. These Republicans follow Trump like lemmings right off the cliff
But even if they add 2 seats the liberals are still going to be the minority 🤷🏻♀️
If they add seats what's to stop Republicans from just adding more seats? Stupid idea
Hell get Romney.
Democrats would do the same thing so stop with all the BSHT.
Classic Democrats. Talk about a slippery slope. SCOTUS will be 150 seats by 2050 if the Dems pull that BS.
There’s also impeachment: we still don’t know who paid Kavanaugh’s credit card bills & what they got in return.
Send a thank you card to Harry Reid
'McConnell and GOP embrace shameless hypocrisy in aftermath of RBG's death, disavowing their own justifications for stealing a SC appointment in 2016' You can use that in your next tweet free of charge thx.
Democrats are such SORE LOSERS.
It is amazing that the media goes along with this Democratic Socialist nonsense. Under National Socialist Democratic Party they will be totally controlled like Pravda. Is anyone paying attention?
Fill the seat.
WTF? Pack the court? Civil war?
The fact that their would be 'retaliation' for something that is legal tells you all you need to know...'Our way or retaliation'. That's not a Democracy...
Good to know. Maybe after a good kick in the can, Democrats might learn about the need to compromise with the President for the sake of the nation. No more dreams of absolute power on their part.
The Rs should’ve made 100 Supreme Court spots and filled them all. I can’t believe the Ds are so power hungry to overhaul the system when they get beat at their own game. But what can they do when trump wins 2020?
Merkowski, Collins, & Romney make 3....a fourth one will be hard, now that Southern Belle Lindsey Graham will sacrifice himself in the name of Trumpism.
Or congress could impeach again... dems too scared to act.
Or win an election.
I'm looking for a 'thumbs down' moment reminiscent of Senator John McCain.
NeverBiden DemExit FillTheSeat
'...need to convince Republicans...' They're done.
There are not 4 Republicans with enough decency to stop this hypocrisy...and while I think he proposal of expanding the Court has legs, the GOP (even as a minority) will raise hell and call it a 'power grab' without even the slightest hint of irony or shame. Everything sucks.
