People gather at a makeshift memorial for late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bather Ginsburg on the steps of the Supreme Court on Sept. 18, 2020.Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., who is also vulnerable, tweeted that the Senate should vote on Trump's nominee.
Several Senate Democrats echoed Schumer's position, arguing that the Senate should not confirm a Ginsburg replacement until after the November election. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who served as a law clerk to former Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun and argued a case in the high court, tweeted,"The American people must have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president...this close to the election, there is no way that the United States Senate can or should act before the voters decide.
Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, tweeted that Ginsburg"paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG."
Moscow mitch will be a welcomed edition to the GOP of the United States Socialist Republic (USSR) if the impossible happens and trump gets back in!!!!
I’m disgusted by this man
MoscowMitchMcTreason MoscowMitchMcTraitor
MoscowMitch Doing the work of Putin and trump since January 2017.
The floor votes from a group of spineless republicans who have spent the last few years being 👿Trump’s and ☠️McConnell’s lap dogs to further their corrupt agenda means the votes are in before they even begin and floor votes from the senate is only a floorshow for idiots.
Newsom mandated the sale of gas cars illegal by 2030.which will effect car manufacturers, companies & Cali residents now. His mandate is highly unconstitutional, illegal. Is this the big fascist govt you want than vote for Biden we’ll vote for trump & freedom
She was the man you will never be!
Think he didn’t pay taxes either
WELL THEY CERTAINLY HOPE THEY CAN SQAUSH THE RIGHT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO DO HIS JOB IN REPLACING JUSTIS GINSBERG WHOM WAS ALSO A HEBREW JEWISH THAT THE ANTI SEMITES IN CONGTESS ARE AGAINST MAYBE THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF HER HERITAGE YA THINK?
Monster
Too much power in the hands of a few and rampant corruption. Just like Vladimir Putin and the Russian banana republic.
Not unclear at all. You are wishful thinking.
Where’s my money, Mitch!?!?! Where’s the GD stimulus?
Schumer, he doesn’t have a say and he doesn’t have the votes to stop it. I say shove it down the DEMS throats. Let’s play there games like inciting violence and not accepting help in DEM run cities. Blocking stimulus. Schumer can go *********!!
Republicans are simply liars and hypocrites....really a sad time for our country....they never do the right thing.....
Get it did!
This is a photo of a house in Kentucky
Yes. We know. What about those Russian bounties on our troops? What about Russia interfering in our election. Also, is the president using drugs?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
will he be filling lindsey's seat, and will a condom be involved?
By the way. Clear your desk before you leave. Apparently there is a lot of good things sitting on your desk that would be good for us smart Americans that are and have been awaiting for you to actually look at.
DOUCH
We should make him put all of the bills passed by Congress, sitting on his desk, that he refuses to bring to the floor, before we allow him to bring this to a vote. HE WORKS FOR US, NOT FOR TRUMP! AMERICANS NEED THE POWER TO HOLD REPRESENTATIVES RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING THEIR JOBS
Marshmallow McConnell has no principles.The Law is just whatever is convenient for himself in the moment. In 2016 Marshmallow thought SC judges s/b appointed after election day. Now MarshmallowMcConnell thinks SC judges need to be right away. MarshmallowMcConnell Debates2020
Voters elected President Trump and a Republican-,led Senate for a reason. The Dems cannot be trusted with important decisions.
Traitor
That's the problem with Mitch he sold out to the Twitwit so much so that the Senate is just another arm of the WH. Donnie gave his wife a cabinet post and Mitch give him the Senate. I don't know how KY can stand him.
You belong in jail
We all know that if the DemocRATs were holding the office and the senate, they would do the exact same thing. They are freaking out is all.
And if no one shows up?
Elections have consequences -Barack Hussein Obama
Welcome to part of our broadcast tonight
Voting has begun and the man was impeached and over 200,000 have died because he lied and did little to help his fellow countrymen. He does not deserve another four months let along four more years!
Schumer the Tumor is a phukin douche.
Who’s going to fill your seat when you and your back boneless republican buddies get your butts kicked out on Election Day. You ‘ll be speaker of your own house after November 3
Your chance for a power grab is far more important to you than American citizens hurting because of the pandemic you chose to ignore! People are hurting and dying but getting Trump's choice for a judge is far more important to your useless party! You know 4 years ago...
VoteThemOut
Vote Moscow Mitch McConnell our of office. He is working for Trump and not for the American people.
McConnell is a racist
Good
Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are a total disgrace to our country!
Freak Justice Barrett... Wants to gut the Affordable Care Act
I wish he’d shut up and go away. Vote him out!
This is a SHAM power grab by the Senate. The public is being cut out of the process. We are CURRENTLY VOTING for the president and senators of this great country. The affordable care act is at stake now. We are currently in a pandemic. This is an ABUSE of power. POWER GRAB
I hope they will replacer you soon our democracy enemy 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
You bag licker
No integrity.
Yiu are a hypothetical ass
We now know by their actions that the Republican Leaders in Senate esp. McConnell and troupe believe in 'TRUMP UBER ALLES' (Trump Over Everyone Else) instead of representing the will of the people.
Looks like you cant trust words of Most Republican Senators or Congressmen as now proved by recent and historical messages from wishy washy McConnell, Lindsey Graham & Cruz. To bad there aren't honest people like Senator Mit Romney Proof they do not care about Democracy
Can’t wait for America to deny Mitch his dying wishes 🥰
No he will not!
Rat
Amen Brother....
Pig
Absolutely should! What we don’t want is the squad influencing a decision by waiting to win the senate. God help us if we get a Biden presidency. He will be declared incompetent and we will have a disaster with Harris
Hypocrisy
Dear Kentucky, send this POS packing!
His hypocrisy once again on display for all to see and be revealed by. He has no ethics, no morals and no sense of the institutional integrity of the United States Senate Within the constitution. To Moscow Mitch it’s all about personal power. Sad and nowhere near patriotic.
Kentuckians need to vote this hypocrite out.
Says the man that will never be trusted again
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” --Mitch McConnell, February 2016 (within an hour of Justice Scalia's death)
👏👏👏👏👏👏
realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr Hypocrites all of you -- you can't even get through the mourning period for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- and you're also hanging out to dry all of your vulnerable Republicans who are up for re-election ...
Enjoy your power now dirtyGop cause after 4 years of this shit circus you’ll never have power again!!!

It's chess, not checkers.
200,000 Americans dead as of now and 'CONSERVATIVES' think about how to CORRUPT the courts from 'freedom an justice for all' to 'freedom for friends of tRump and justice for the wealthy'👹👹👹👹
SenatorReid
Now is not the time to lock in a decision you will later regret? That kind of sounds like a veiled threat to any Republicans considering holding off.
Music to my ears
Bismillah! Amy Coney Barrett is best front-runner for a Supreme Court vacancy under a Republican Senate. --Attacks on her by Democrats should enrage Suburban moms voters
Those were your first words out of your mouth, not my condolences to her family
Boycott bourbon!
If McConnell hadn’t blown up this process and stolen a Justice from Obama, there’d be little grounds for a fight. Now there will be violence. Thanks Mitch.
Sorry Moscow mitch, you don't have the votes.
I think, in order to galvanize those still on the fence, let's start a thread for what RBG did for us individually. I'll start. I wouldn't have the option of marrying my future husband had the SC been comprised of a conservative minority. whatsatstake
I believe all Americans agree with filling the vacancy this week. We are forward moving people whom need to see this moving forward fast.
senatemajldr you blasted the democrats in 2016, that the new president s/make the decision. Now you want to push it through. Your a disgrace to the US Senate and to the citizens of United States. I pray someone will stop you! SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi JoeBiden AmyMcGrathKY
Seems like he could have at least waited until the next day to make this announcement. But that wouldn't be Mitch.
so blatantly partisan and personal to him, shameful display and abuse of his position
I think not!
Osama Bin Laden was a better man than Mitch McConnell.
We have to vote this one out too.
No words..
What's the hurry? In 2016, there was no hurry, so, what's the rush now?
As he should!
No vote on nominees until after election
“Ruthie”? Guess Warren and Bader Ginsburg were bf’s huh? They’ll do whatever they want these politicians, Mitchy, Trump... Schumer said it’s “ up to the people”? Right, like anything ever is? Come on. We The People does not exist in a Trump world.
When the Democrats are shitt’n all over themselves, it’s a great day in America!
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Mitch McConnell March, 2016
Since Voting is CURRENTLY HAPPENING, we need to, as McConnell said in 2016, let the people speak. No, No,No to filling a vacancy before the election. The next President, voted in by the people, needs to put the nominee up. McConnellHypocrite
The dawn of Civil War 2 is upon us. All Americans should arm themselves if not armed already. The military will choose the country and our democracy and not Republican traitors. No mercy for traitors this time. None. Nada. RIPRuthBaderGinsburg SaturdayThoughts
Hypocrite. rememberGarland
senatemajldr is disgusting and anti Christian. A woman just passed and he makes it political.
He is a mean and evil man who will live in hell rather than heaven.
What an awful, awful person Mitch is.
BS ,whoever win the election should choose the nominee.
The Democrats only have themselves to blame.
Awesome - this is good news!
Her body isn’t even cold yet. This party claims to have class? Lol
Schumer doesn't have the backbone to stand up to McConnell he's got nothing.
If Senate Republicans approve a Trump nominee for the Supreme Court before the election or (if Biden wins) the inauguration, I will stop fooling myself that we live in a democracy based on rule of law.
Lol
YES, sounds perfect! 🙏👍🇺🇸
My God the woman isn't even in the ground yet. Ruth Ginsburg rest in peace. Thank you for everything you've done. Please know we will try and uphold
'The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president”
But he won’t allow the CARES act for a vote or any of the 400+ house passed bills to a vote...wake up, America. The time for words is over...
Hypocrite 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 NoNewJustices
Hippocrate POS.
moscowmitch is a traitor
Hypocrite
Of course because GOP cheats.
madpatriot78 FillTheSeat
How does this man live with himself? Truly how do people-vote for him?
Why is President Tdumb's so seemingly cocksure and embolden to get his SCOTUS nominee be confirmed by McTurtle's Senate? Bc those R's Senators who had voted for Trump's acquittal in his Trial as POTUS would also vote for Trump's nominee to replace RBG in SCOTUS neal_katyal CNN
To those GOP senators ostensibly so distressed at the prospect of even a brief period with an eight-member, even-numbered Supreme Court: Get Gorsuch to resign – his seat was stolen anyway. Now we’re down to seven. Problem solved.
Hypocrisy MoscowMitchTraitor RIPRuthBaderGinsburg NotoriousRBG MitchMustGo
Two face hypocrite
Mcconnell is a 2 faced hypocrite
Makes sense. Why would we wait for another president or Congress? By that standard, why not wait until we have another Republican president or Congress?
He's a nasty duplicitous reactionary man who must be overcome.
Shame to see this kind of heartless person in the USA political arena.
May I ask what's the rush? You don't have much faith in your candidate Trump do you? . See you Nov 3, I will be voting democratic for Biden Harris. senatemajldr VP realDonaldTrump
For God’s sake, she passed away yesterday! Have some respect senatemajldr and save this BS for a little bit. We all know you’re going to try to shove a SCOTUS nominee down our throats. 🤦♀️
Looks clear to me. Done and Done! 😊🇺🇸😊

And yet he still will. All the Dems have are firm letters, fist shaking and threats smh. He could careless if he did he wouldn't have said it lol. Sorry. SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi senatemajldr

Here we go.. Senator Mitchpateen & Darth Trumple will make their move to Republicanize the SCOTUS, wedging their evil into our government for decades to come... it is truly a sad day for the Republic ... help us ObiJoe Biden! You’re our only hope! 🤨
Outstanding
Short memory? His own words in 2016. “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,' McConnell said.
He won’t have the votes if we put on major pressure. Senators are up for re-election and want a job in January.
POS!!
lesliedc3009
Re-elect Trump
lesliedc3009
I bet her body wasn’t even cold before this son of a bitch started putting plans into motion.
Disgraceful is all I can say!
The EVILS has been trying to destroy the country, we have to go out & vote against this racist demons in order to make America really great again. Decency, unity, compassion, healing, integrity, JOE BIDEN is that person. We must give him the opportunity.
She isn't in the ground yet and nasty Mitch McConnell is already saying that he is ready to replace her. Republicans are truly disgusting and I pray to God we beat the Republicans in November. And get Mitch McConnell out of office.🙏🏼🙏🏿🇵🇷💯
McConnell is in huge trouble and this shows it!!
Why in a hurry? Let her go back to earth before do it as a respect yo her, don't politicise this..
With all that will be going on with this election this seat must be filled before election.
Moscow Mitch is at it again.
Not a chance.
Vote out the cowardly Trump Republicans in the Senate. November 3rd
God please help him to see his horrible doings and do right please
Let a new president make that call. Oh wait trump has to get judges in there that sees things his way.
She’s not yet cold in her grave and they’re choosing her successor!
“I ask no favor for my sex; all I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
shameful !! senatemajldr what happened to not in an election year? Ripped the seat from Merrick Garland, nothing more than a power hungry old man ..... needs to be voted out !
can you say “hypocrisy”
GenCarlosQ17 It's imperative since Democrats are already saying they won't accept the election results.
He is scum. Bottom of the barrel
His own words. Not so much about principle anymore.
Merrick Garland was nominated in March 2016 and Mitch McConnell denied him a vote. Wait until after inauguration or we pack the courts. 13 jurors anyone? Watch.
Of course MoscowBitch McConnell wants to 🤬
Mitch is the worst traitor this country has ever had to overcome. We will. We must.
Senator Mitch is like the Senate Majority Leader we endure here in Kenya.
FillTheSeat
It is time for Democrats to let Republicans know that they can't do whatever they want and get away with it. It's time for McConnell to meet satan in hell, RIGHT NOW...
Good. Push the confirmation through Mitch. Don’t wait until after Trumps re-election
In 2012 he said wait till new president is voted in, know the hypocrite is singing a different tune. I’m so so so sick of even reading about trump and all the we make all our own rules Republicans, really just find them ALL dishonest, disgusting, 💩💩💩💩
realDonaldTrump himself said that the next President should nominate the next Supreme Court Justice 4 yrs ago. He literally said those exact words & highlighted that it isn’t that much time to wait. Currently the wait is 6 weeks so what is now different other than partisanship?
So, realDonaldTrump can nominate a replacement for RBG, but the judge, lawyer, politician can REFUSE THE NOMINATION. ABAesq , lawfareblog , American/Fed Judges Assoc's should come out against accepting nomination. Whoever accepts nomination should be professionally shamed.
That piece of shit couldn’t honor her dying wish that they do not replace her until after the election. I just donated to Amy McGrath‘s campaign. PLEASE do the same. McConnell has stopped progress in our country for generations it’s time to stop him!!!!
Yep.. President Trump should absolutely name a replacement for the open SCOTUS seat... and the Senate should vote on the nominee. And Chuck Schumer agrees!
🤡
NBC and the other twats are going crazy!
Easy to get the votes. Dems already threatening 'at-risk' Senate Repubs by asking for funding for their competition. Can't think of a better motivation for them to now vote for a Constitutionally Conservative.
Come on Republican Senators. It’s your last chance.

MCConnell - you couldn’t even wait a day. Total lack of respect and decency. Should be ashamed. A Supreme Court justice just passed.
POS
If they put someone on the Supreme court before the elections Democrats should expand the courts to 11 if they win the Presidency. Add the 2 judges taken from them
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Mitch McConnell, March 2016.
Integrity matters.
No condolences no respect. He's just ready to push a biased, probably racist judge to replace her. So disrespectful. WHT he should be pushing thru the senate is a legitimate bipartisan stimulus bill to help the struggling Americans who have been waiting 5 months now for help.
With the JoeBiden team keeping their list of potential nominees Top Secret, and I were Republican, I'd probably also say let's just go for it because who knows who might be on that list that might even be too shocking for a large number of Democrats.
There is no honesty or decency in the Republican party. Only hypocrisy and lies.
If r’s allow MoscowMitch to go thru with this,they’ll be responsible for the destruction of the senate.They have allowed McConnell to damage the credibility,but this would give the d’s impetus to make major changes if they win senate which would almost be a given if he does this
AMERICA, McConnell’s hypocritical statement should not be a SUPRISE to any of us! WE. MUST. FIGHT LIKE NEVER BEFORE and be even MORE MOTIVATED to VOTE LIKE HELL! EVERYTHING America stands for and has stood for and its very existence IS AT STAKE! GAME NOT OVER! VOTE!
The hypocrisy of Trump's Republican party is now on full display.
Mitch! Save the unborn and the country from socialism.
Really jerk!
Typical hypocrite move from GOP
Mitch has more power than the president?
A replacement for Supreme cour justice should be made now
So MoscowMitch can over look the hundreds of bills on his desk, he cant negotiate with Democrats on a new stimulus package but he can ram through a Supreme Court justice for a life time appointment in 44 days? I cannot stand these Traitors
They didn't waste any time smh....I wish they made decisions this fast about other things.
Vote, Vote, Vote
Not even been 24hrs! Our congress is disgusting!
I hope and pray, it’s another RBG and not another Kavanaugh. Mitch McConnell blocked Obama Supreme Court nominee. Mitch McConnell It was important for the Senate to 'give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy' by waiting until the new president took office.
Dam Mitch let the body cool!
I can’t stand (The Turtle) McConnell is a pig it’s all about power .Kentucky take that burden off of Moscow Mitch
Best news ever!!!
After the election not before we hope-:))
You're a rank ghoul Mcconnell
Vote him OUT !
If Republicans have any shred of integrity or decency, they will respect RBG’s final wish and vote “No” to instating a new judge before the election, in the same way McConnell pushed it back in 2016.
Replace asap.
Good to hear! 🙏🇺🇸
With all the climate changes, dinosaurs shouldn't exist anymore.
Hypocrite
Hypocrite.
Why wait for presidential election to be over, when it is about the appointment of SC judge
In 2016 Dems said pushing through nominees in election years is actually very Cool and Good. Were Democrats wrong in 2016? Or are they wrong now?
Is anyone investigating Justice Ginsburgs passing?
Respect her legacy and honor her wishes to wait after the election.
Hypocrisy at its highest!! He resisted Obama doing the same in the last year of his presidency, but then again that what these politicians do.. Voters need to be smarter about who they’re electing. Don’t just vote follow their votes/bills and keep them honest.
This lying hypocrite
Of course old Moscow Mitch will. 😝
People, if this doesn't make you want to donate to AmyMcGrathKY to replace moscowmitch nothing will. We need an American senator not a Putin's puppet.
Trump the impeached president who doesn’t respect the USA constitution should not be allowed to nominate anyone for Supreme Court Justice
Monster
Here is how I think many GOP senators will play it. They will publicly go against having the vote before the election. Not because they don’t want to vote but because it plays better in the election. Then whether they win or lose, they will vote before next President sworn in.
Are u a speaker or what?
McConnell, an evil man!
It is called the Constitution Try reading it NBC
What a hypocrite but not a surprising move from “Moscow Mitch”
realDonaldTrump senatemajldr SenatorBurr SenThomTillis with the precedent set by the Republicans before the 2016 election no vote on replacement Supreme Court Justice should be had until after the election in November and then the Winner of that election makes the nomination
That s*** ain't f****** happening
Amy AMY AMY AMY AMY AMY 🎉
His decision only shows that when President Obama was in charge it was all about”the people”. Now it’s all about his party. VOTE MITCH OUT TOO!
Well what a hypocrite and liar. Time for a new generation to take over. Time for McConnell to go!
