Other Republicans’ arguments for the differential treatment of this vacancy have been nonsense and insulting to the intelligence of the American electorate they once claimed to be protecting. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, — who is on Trump’s shortlist for a nomination —
Still, accusing a smarmy politician of hypocrisy on procedural matters is ultimately not going to cause them to change course; it’s like accusing water of being wet. The real question is what Democrats intend to do if McConnell is able to get a midnight Trump nominee to the Supreme Court confirmed. On Saturday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The philosophical case for reforming the Supreme Court — should Democrats take over the Senate and White House in 2021 — is straightforward. While it’s possible that Trump could win re-election, virtually nobody, including Trump’s most fervent supporters, believes that Trump will win the popular vote over Joe Biden; he didn’t over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Assuming that’s correct, it would mean Democrats will have won the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections.
Indeed, the previous periods in history in which the Supreme Court was controlled by an opposition faction — the early Jefferson administration, the Civil War and first years of the New Deal — all led to constitutional crises that ended only when the court itself backed down.
It’s time to plan secession and dismantling of the country. Red states become 3rd world countries without their loathed blue states keeping them afloat. bluestateshavethemoney
Whatever you may personally feel, the man is the sitting president and he has every right to appoint a replacement. Period.
Is the court supposed to appeal to the American people or are they supposed to follow the rule of law and the constitution? It’s not a popularity contest.
Scott who? Another crazy person amongst us!!!
If Democrats want control of the Courts, write better laws and they'll have all the control our Constitution allows them! I worry about a group who thinks their best plan's to take control of the Third Leg of Govenment to give them more control over us, sounds tyrannical don't it
😂😂😃🖕
Why can't the Republicans pack the court? Be careful what you wish for
Focus on their faces. They tell all the dislike each has for the other.
I know & agree!! The damn Democrats don’t even try to pretend anymore that they are for the middle class & making life better for ALL the American people. They just want to control the people, control government, take all freedoms & rights away & turn this into Communist USA.
What a threat. You people have no scruples.

Dems will have to expand the Supreme Court.
If the Republicans do this. The gloves come off and the Dems have EVERY right to pack the court. Also add DC and Puerto Rico as states. I loathe the Republicans and their spineless lack of honesty and integrity.

That should win over fence-sitting voters...
They just cannot cope with losing anything.. they would rather burn the country to the ground than accept that other people should also have a say.
OK. Let's do this.

THINK So I'm watching this live news station that's in Russia right now. And it's 1:42am & dark as can be over there. But here in Colorado it's 4:42pm with the sun shining bright. And so now I'm asking myself this question. How can this be happening on a Flat Earth?
THINK We should start with term limits for senators and reps - ...
THINK These things should be ON the table regardless. They’re methods of expanding democracy in a nation of increasingly minority rule. The framing of these as proportionate to republicans stealing Supreme Court seats is bizarre but completely expected. Another win for both sides-ism.
