I dont think she really has a choice in the matter. They should fill the job as soon as possible.
So your post 13 is irrelevant to the discussion. Got it.Irrelevant to anything I said.
1. Her last wish regarding the filling of a SCOTUS seat is irrelevant.
2. It is not hypocritical to fill the seat, And the left would be doing the same if they were in such a position.
You might want to do an exact quote (and show it in context) an then try to make the comparison.
One side apparently sees the filling of the seat as a far more critical thing for this nation's survival. The others can be dealt with.
She should of stepped down when she was asked to. She gambled on her health and lost.

Collins not much, Murkowski marginally. Murkowski did come out hard, though Collins is her usual two-sided bulllshit.Do you believe Collins and Murkowski? Not that it matters anyway -- there will never be enough holdouts to stop a confirmation.
Clearly you haven't; "Got it".So your post 13 is irrelevant to the discussion. Got it.Irrelevant to anything I said.Obama won the majority of States in 2012. McConnell blocked Obama's SC nomination. Seems to me McConnell is playing games.

You know - Biden can place two, while negotiating legislation mandating a null window for appointing judges 'x' days before an election. If they (Repubs) don't go along, keep appointing until they do.
(actually this would simply be one negotiation)
I see you did not quite understand what I meant by context.Sure:
2016 Mitch:
'' 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.” 13 Feb 2016.
“Rarely does a Supreme Court vacancy occur in the final year of a presidential term … Given that we are in the midst of the presidential election process, we believe that the American people should seize the opportunity to weigh in.” Feb. 18, 2016
2020 Mitch:
“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise.
… Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.
President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.” Sept. 18, 2020
What every Republican senator has said about filling a Supreme Court vacancy in an election year
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death leaves a vacancy on the Supreme Court just before the presidential election, as Justice Antonin Scalia's did in 2016, when Barack Obama was president. Here’s what Senate Republicans said in 2016, and what they’ve said publicly now.www.pbs.org
Look I know conservatives are going to want to replace RBG as they can, because they may not be able to in 4 months, but come on, admit this is based a naked desire for power and rank hypocrisy among conservatives, we have the receipts to prove it.
Ginsburg's last wish was to 'not be replaced until a new president is installed': report
The late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told her granddaughter that her dying wish was not to be replaced until a new president is sworn into office, NPR reports.www.foxnews.com
.Fat chance, Mitch McConnell will show his hypocrisy and Lindsey Graham will show himself to be a liar,
How do you routinely deal with "colleagues" or other adversaries who scream from the mountaintop they have no scruples, ethics, principles,
or beliefs in anything but malignant lust for the greater power that results in their total domination? Do you attempt to compromise with them?
That would be insane. Consider who they insist on continuing to support, an openly mad, jester!
I dont get why its legal to kill little baby humans but not turn them into pumps? Scientists can just gouge out their brains so only their heart and stomach and vital organs work, but they are brain dead, and then turn them into little human pumps and recycle their discarded bodies. We could have these little baby fetus pumps all throughout our society you just feed it some oatmeal into its little dissected baby mouth and it keeps pumping liquids for us! I mean if its not wrong to kill a little baby then why cant we turn them into pumps of some sort and use their little body as slave machines like in The Matrix.But what principle, even one, do they predictably maintain? "Pro" life? Not with 200,000 dead, on their watch, and counting.
Government transparency and accountability? See the Senate version of a Trump impeachment "trial" and vote to acquit.
The rule of law? http://barrstool.com ...Not a chance!
Defense of the Bill of Rights? Only one amendment is embraced, the 2nd, but not if it is asserted by non-whites.

The sanctity of marriage, between a man and a woman, strong commitment to national security, steady, predictable foreign policy?
No, no, and no! What does it say about a major political party that elects and stands by an obvious, deeply mentally and emotionally unhealthy criminal like Donald Trump? Who are the people who would enthusiatically support such an unprecedented, American trragedy?
That is how you reply? You think that is a constructive answer, considering the record of Trump's obstructing and his reward to Roger Stone?No what exactly? Something that I said I doubted? iLOL
Your reply is dumb and only speaks to what you choose to believe. Not reality.
While Nadler certainly called for such, I doubt it will happen.
Hilarious. It is not an election of a national popular vote. Such has no real relevance to how the president is elected.
The presidential election is done by the States. The majority of which were won by the current President.
Fill the seat. Dems would do it.
I see you did not quite understand what I meant by context.
The context being a Senate and President being of opposing parties.
You can dance around it all you want, it doesn't change the fact that the majority of voters didn't want Trump. It's not surprising; Republicans haven't been able to win the popular vote more than once in the last 30 years. Rigging the EC is the only chance they have.

I figured you would come up with some off the cuff response.Clearly you haven't; "Got it".
And apparently you are revealing the reason for that. A lack of an ability to fully understand English.
Uhhh.... because women achieved the right to vote 100 years ago and your opinion or urge to control what does or does not grow inside any of their bodies is an urge now confined to the ash heap of history. Deal with what you can actually assert some influence over, 200,000 dead and counting.... born lives of people loved by our fellows who are needlessly dropping like flies as you continue to support, deflect, and apologize for an acutely mentally and emotionally unhealthy criminal who you have helped to empower. Post links supporting what you describe scientists doing with aborted fetuses, James O'Keefe and his imitators have certainly poisoned the well, as far as what happens with aborted fetal tissue!I dont get why its legal to kill little baby humans but not turn them into pumps? Scientists can just gouge out their brains so only their heart and stomach and vital organs work, but they are brain dead, and then turn them into little human pumps and recycle their discarded bodies.

The only popular votes tallies that matter is at the State level. That is exactly what Republicans have won.You can dance around it all you want, it doesn't change the fact that the majority of voters didn't want Trump. It's not surprising; Republicans haven't been able to win the popular vote more than once in the last 30 years. Rigging the EC is the only chance they have.
