Are you posting this as fact or satire? RBG was nominated and confirmed in 1993, over 3 years prior to the 1996 election. How do you not know that?

Originally posted by Shane View PostThe risk of going into the election with only 8 justices on the Supreme Court is too great. Trump could win every state, and the Dems are going to contest the results in court. The people who won't vote for Trump or an incumbent Republican Senator because they filled a vacant seat on the SC before an election are the same people who aren't going to vote for Trump or an incumbent Republican Senator anyway. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left, but who cares? Trump needs to make the nomination first thing Monday morning, and then the Senate Republicans need to get the nominee confirmed ASAP. The election is VERY important. But the results of that can be reversed in 2 and 4 years. The Supreme Court seat is a much longer term and more important deal, and it also has huge implications on this year's presidential election.
Fill the seat.
The risk is high

Either way.... It is a tough one. But, I lean towards appointing now. Of course the media and democrats will use it as a weapon against Trump. What’s new?
If he doesn’t voters may consider it as a sign of weakness.

Our side said this last time and their side said that last time. Each side is saying the opposite this time - are you surprised ? what else is new? Amusing how everyone on both sides scrambles to come up with a “yeah, but this time its different!” argument. Truth is, this part of politics is a zero sum game. High-minded ethics go out the window and you marshal all your power and do/say whatever you have to do to crush your opponents. It was ever thus, and I’m fine with that. As a wise man once said, Politics ain’t beanbag...Last edited by jerp; 09-19-2020, 07:17 PM.

Originally posted by mwk128 View PostYou think people in Trump’s base would abandon him at this late date because he holds off on a Supreme Court nomination? It doesn’t seem like he’s lost one person from his base in the last 4 years, and he’s said some crazy things. I think he could walk over to the Supreme Court tomorrow and machine gun down the remaining 8 of them and he might still win the election, definitely still win Texas. I think about 9/10 of the people in this forum would probably cheer him on.

Originally posted by rtp View PostOnce again the media is being completely onesided.....they play all of the Republican comments from the Garland delay but none of the Democrat comments during that episode. Of course only the Republicans will be painted as hypocrites by the media and none of the Democrats comments will be on display.

Worst post on TBH, SMH.
Its starting to look like Christmas.
This is what they were hired to do. After the Democrats impeachment charade they deserve this confirmation.
Yep, campaign adds will be used to set the records straight. Democrats were screaming to push their appointments through before 2016 elections.
We have to fill this seat. Doesn't matter what the cost is. Filling this seat with a Conservative Justice is all that matters. TRUMP WILL FILL THE SEAT....!
