Trump is plotting on Ginsberg brehs. Both sides are the same tho

Wait, I thought Supreme Court nominees still took 60 to break the filibuster? I thought that was the exception, I could be wrong, too lazy to look it up

It was until senate republicans killed it in 2017. The legislative filibuster is the only one still in place.

Nope. McConnell changed the rule in 2017 for Gorsuch. Only legislative filibuster is left.

she should have really retired during Obama's 1st term or at the start of the 2nd.



Really gotta wonder what the hell she was thinking

my hunch is that she was planning to retire if hillary won, and they were gonna do some bullshyt, female torch passing and put another female on the court

McConnell would still bring Trump’s nominee to vote. GOP has 53 seats. They only need 50 plus Pence.

How the hell would he explain that after his reasoning for holding up Garland? He'd be giving the Dems a green light to pack the courts and nobody would fault them for it.

The reason Mcconell and senate republicans would do that is because they don't give a fukk about being hypocrites.

You probably missed the thread about the below article , but a good insight into his mentality.

I apparently misread. This was her last diagnosis that she appears to be in remission. Knock on wood.

Tbh, I read the same headline/article floating around today and came to the same conclusion. It actually said that she was battling cancer again for the forth time. I’m glad it’s not true.

I love that woman. I don't want anything to happen to her.

You're thinking too small. Almost 90% of Bernie voters voted HRC.

The problem was losing the Senate in 2014. And that has roots in the Dems getting washed in rural areas of the country they last did decently in when Obama got elected in 2008.

Dems need to win the Senate in 2020. Badly.

They need the Senate, and the Presidency, and they need to take on McConnell's tactics: being absolutely ruthless. To start with: they need to push through every federal judge pick, and these judges need to be Left-leaning, not just "moderate liberals," they need to have to have the DOJ run through the state's electioneering and funding tactics like the Chicago Boys ran through Chile.

this is such bullshyt the dems dont get to add seats to the supreme court because they lost in 2016

i know they were shocked when hillary buying the primary didn't carry over to the general, but gimme a fukkin break

what exactly is the argument there? "we're adding seats because we lost and missed out on picks"?

Yes. Its Constitutionally allowable.

FDR threatened to do it. Its been done before. These clearly aren't waters you are familiar with.
