Lisa Murkowski is changing her tune and Trumps new conservative judge will be confirmed without her vote anyway.

@Trajan61 The GOP's rush to name a replacement is a tactical error for two reasons:

1. It advertises lack of confidence in the election outcome
2. It alienates centrist voters, who view the action as blatantly partisan.
   This GOP action is likely to cause the loss of an otherwise winnable election.

@PBuck0145 The Democrats were salivating at the mouth to replace Scalia with a liberal judge so why shouldn’t the republicans jump at a chance to replace a left wing liberal judge like Ginsburg!

@Trajan61 Already answered in my comment. It is likely to cost them the election.

@PBuck0145 Yes I think it could cost the democrats the election.

If Biden wins and the Democrats can prevent orange blob piece=of-shit from stealing the election, there is a possibility of impeaching- and removing- kavanaugh. Look up Glenn Kirschner on youtube.

@HumanistJohn Trump’s going to win and he will be president for 4 more years so you might as well get used to him. And he’s also going to be successful in getting his conservative judge appointed to the Supreme Court.

@Trajan61

NO! If he isn't a fascist, he's damn near close to being one.
I will never get used to that lying sack of shit.
he wants to be like putin and be one of the oligarchs who steals the country blind.
And as far as a court nominee is concerned, noscow mitch (another sack of shit who is sitting on legislation passed by the House) wouldn't even hold a hearing for Obama's nominee because it was an election year. gutless graham, along with other repugs, said that if there was a court vacancy in 2020, the senate should wait for the next president to nominate someone. Of course, he lied.

Don't you understand that tRump wants to be a dictator? What is your damn problem?

Also, orange blob knew that this virus was deadly and was air borne and could affect anyone. but ob said that it was a democratic hoax. he's a damn liar- and over 200,000 Americans died. Don't you give a damn either?

@HumanistJohn Evidently you have drank to much of the liberal koolaid!

@Trajan61 Or maybe YOU drank too much of the conservative kool-aid.

I was a republican until 1985, at which time I thought republicans were abandoning their values and ethics. I was brought up to believe in values like those in the 0956 Eisenhower platform. The republicans have abandoned virtually all of those values. They are not the party they once were... at all.

Then they democrats values have only gotten better over my life time.

I've paid attention to the changes int he parties over time and am not just an ideologue who will support my party no matter what (as the republicans have done with Trump). My values don't change when my party changes theirs. Can you say the same?

@snytiger6 The democrat party has drifted sharply to the left especially since Obama was elected. No my values have not changed but those of the democrat party have definitely changed with their support for the racist group BLM and their embracing things like open borders, socialism, allowing criminals to vote, and defunding the police. Not to mention their radical green new deal which is embraced by idiots like AOC and a host of others.

@HumanistJohn Obama was the one who acted like a dictator. Hell he enacted thousands of looney regulations and Trump has done away with a lot of them. How in the hell is that acting like a dictator?

@Trajan61 How about the long list of actions Trump took which have been overturned by the courts, because he didnt' really have the authority to do them?... for a start. To date Trump has made more executive orders than Obama had. [washingtontimes.com]

@snytiger6 Obama and Clinton appointed a lot of liberal left wing judges who seem to get a kick out of flaunting their power and overriding Trump. The Washington Times is a worthless piece of left wing propaganda and is a very unreliable source of information.

@Trajan61 The Washington Times leans to the right in their coverage.

You are probably thinking of the Washington Post, which has a long history of good journalism. The Post became a journal of repute when they published The Pentagon Papers, which were stolen form the Rand Corporation (by somebody else). Since that time, despite fair reporting, they have had a reputation for beign left leaning.

The issue is when actual facts get reported, it make the right wing look bad. So any media outlet that publishes actual facts (in their proper context) are said to be left leaning. So, the Washington Post and the New York Times are characterized as beign left leaning, when they are just practicing journalistic ethics... reporting the actual facts in the proper context.

The Hearst owned papers which played fast and loose with the facts in the 20th century to increase circulation, were right leaning and for them they created the term "yellow Journalism" to refer to sensationalized news and (deliberately) sloppy journalism. Fox News has taken yellow journalism to television. Rupert Murdock made his fortune in tabloids and Fox plays fast and loose with the facts and more often than not if theyu provide facts they are out of proper context.

@Trajan61 If you tracked both partied from 1980, the Republicans have moved to the far right and the democrats overall also moved to the right, fallowing the republicans. There are a few far left democrats who seem to get the headlines, but democrats over all generally are further right than Reagan was.

Granted the right wing has gone much further right than Reagan, so democrats that by 1980's standards would seem to be in the political middle, now seem like far left to republicans who are about to step over the line into Fascism.

its gonna be a battle and we have to fight
only other option if biden wins is to add 2 justices

@whiskywoman that is exactly what I mean by packing the court.

@whiskywoman A radical move like that might lead to civil war.

For calling yourself anglophone, seems you're not that savvy on comprehending english. The poster said rest in peace, nobody said she is or was inmortal. Plus, captain obvious, we're all concerned on her replacement before the likely blue wave takes over in 2021.

Of course she was mortal, and she has been battling pancreatic cancer for many years. Yes, we ALL knew she would pass on one day, but we certainly didn't want her to go now.

Mcconnell has already said that he will push it through the senate. I'm ready to go to Washington DC and do everything I can to keep the senate out of session. I'm not sure what we could do but I think we need to try.

@Lorajay before or after, he might postpone vote to after elections to help the senators that might not be sent back with the carrot of "we need them to be able to confirm the nominee " right wingers and religious nuts who were on the fence might be swayed by this.

Some right-wing Christian nutjob, no doubt.

that idiot cruz is on the list what a disaster that would be

Definitely not an independent constitutionalist or a liberal democrat.

@whiskywoman
What? How can that be? Was he a judge at one time??

@whiskywoman, @Mofo1953
An Independent Constitutionalist would be the perfect choice.

@bigpawbullets not gonna happen

@bigpawbullets he is not independent he is a highly paid traitor

@whiskywoman
I just saw the list. 4 ladies and one man.... not Cruz.

@bigpawbullets its a shit storm everyone assumes they know what each justice is gonna vote and if they are true justices we have to hope) they will go with the merits of the case trump brings and he will fight tooth and nail until barr declares martial law and they try and take over forcfully

@bigpawbullets None of them could be ladies if trump likes them.
