Opinion | Republicans Play With Fire on the Court

The fight over replacing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has added fuel to a raging political fire.

President Trump evidently believes that swiftly announcing his choice and pushing for a vote will improve his re-election prospects; the opening is deflecting public attention from the Covid-19 pandemic. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who regards a transformed federal judiciary as his principal legacy, is equally committed to replacing Justice Ginsburg.

opinion Don’t wait. Fill it now. It’s their job.

opinion Shut up WSJ.

opinion 1. Stack the court 2. Dispute the election 3. Invalidate the election 4. Install Trump as authoritarian leader of a conservative minority fascist theocracy. This is the GOP white Christian wet dream.

opinion It’s a good strategy if you are expecting the election to be settled in the Supreme Court

opinion SenateGOP - can’t wait for the American people to vote out these hypocrites in the Senate. No values. Stand by “Trump the Killer”. What happened to operating under a value system versus politics? Our Government and especially the GOP shows no leadership for what is right & just.

opinion Bill Galston is as wrong as one can be on this. But that's nothing new.

opinion Do we actually think that poll is right?

opinion Fake News

opinion If Republicans were so sure they and Trump would win, there wouldn’t be this rush to fill RBG’s seat. I think they’re afraid of the election. SenateGOP realDonaldTrump Scavino45 WhiteHouse Talk about running scared. senatemajldr

opinion Never Forget: Draft Dodger Donald Trump called our American war dead “losers and suckers”. Never Forget: Trump concealed the severity of the Coronavirus. If Trump had called our governors in Feb and told them what he told Woodward, it would have spared over 100,000 lives.

opinion True, but the next president will be Trump. (I'm curious too see if my prediction holds to future reality. See ya in 2021!)

opinion McConnell has destroyed the integrity of the court with his machinations, court packing is just the natural result of his actions. If the court is packed to 11 justices McConnell will only have himself to blame

opinion Push the nominee through.

opinion Stop BallotHarvesting now. Support TulsiGabbard bill HR8285, the Election Fraud Prevention Act - to stop BallotHarvesting now.

opinion Then pass a law/amendment that says a President can only appoint SCJ’s in the first three years of any particular President’s term. That’s not the law now. Nominate and vote.

opinion BS- FillThatSeat

opinion Like the next president will be anyone different? Awefully presumptious don't you think?
