Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will vote on President Trump’s pick to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, even though it’s an election year.
Ginsburg’s death Friday at age 87 has injected new ferocity into the election-year battle for the presidency and control of Congress in a nation already struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, economic collapse and racial tension. The talk on the Sunday news shows gave a glimpse of the power tug over the timing of any vote to fill Ginsberg’s seat 44 days from the election.Trump says he is obligated to act as soon as possible and has at least two women in mind for the seat.
Democrats urged the GOP Senate majority to heed its own advice against filling the court’s lifetime slots so close to elections.Pelosi was asked whether she would be open to the House undertaking impeachment proceedings against Trump or Atty. Gen. William Barr as a way of trying to stall the confirmation process. She did not rule out doing so.“We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now,” she said.
The next justice, Pelosi said, would help determine the survival of the Affordable Care Act. The court is scheduled to hear a lawsuit involving Obamacare on Nov. 10 that could affect the law’s protection of people with preexisting conditions. “Those are the people the president wants to crush when he says he wants to replace the justice in this short period of time,” Pelosi said.
Gonna take more than that.
The Democrats should not allow Bitch McConnell to set precedent. Fill the god damn seat now and then when the Dems take over the Senate, expel McConnell for his 2016 Constitutional obstruction. After that, restore the 60 vote rule. Enough of this tit-for-tat crap.
Forecast for the end of 2020 is a lot of liberal tears😭 Bless those angry blue hearts💙
Yeah, but, the promise is only until Election Day. No promise that whoever is elected gets the actual choice. Easy to envision both Lisa and Susan going for the Trump nomination during lame duck session.
Hey 'LA 'LeftwingNuts'--you've heard that 2 won't, NOW BE A BIG BOY NEWSPAPER---and tell us how many WILL VOTE 'Com'On MAN'---give us the truth?
The women fixing this shit again. (Don't be shifty & change your stance ladies. Do the right thing.)
MittRomney JeffFlake AnyAdultRepublican who has a heart & a brain, please come out against the vote! 🙏🙏American lives literally depend on it!
it won't matter bc they'll all find reasons to go back on their words, but for posterity's sake Murkowski came out right away and said she was against it. Collins followed suit yesterday alongside Romney.
I’m sorry but I don’t trust Republicans, what they say and what they do are two different things
Shes gone too.
Must of needed the recognition of being the 2ed, even if it is illustrating she is in favor of going against the US Constitution. Strike 3..you're out
The problem is that no one is saying they’d vote no. They are saying they “wouldn’t support” moving forward before the election. There is an opening for them to then say “Well I didn’t support it but now I have no choice.” It’s an attempt to sound principled while leaving an out.
So what!!! We don’t need her!! Lol
Yes, she says a lot of things, doesn't she? 🙄
This time she is doing a right thing.
So what
Can we say no to her salary until she wants to vote? Unfortunately not here in the good old USA! Lol
Yeah, they will just wait until the day after the election to fill that seat…
lisamurkowski you have a chance to put your fingerprints on history. i trust you will follow thru and stand for democracy.
Nobody cares what she says she is 100% irrelevant and unneeded in this vote, shit, she may as well go on vacation early
She will survive...because we need people of character on both sides of the isle.
let's make it 'no to filling court seat before Inauguration'
She needs a bath.
Cool! Let her explain it to her voters.
Does the law prevent it, if not what's the problem
