2016: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.”

2018: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

2016: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”

2016: Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”

2016: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”

2016: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”

2016: Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”

2016: Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”

2016: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”

2016: Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”

2016: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”

Amy Coney Barrett is a super religious Catholic and a protege of that fat pig Scalia.

Her body is not even cold yet, people. Can we at least show that much respect?

Trump may well try and nominate a Justice in the last 6 weeks prior to the election, but it would be the height of hypocrisy for the Republicans in the Senate, particularly Mitch McConnell, who spent years blocking President Obama's nominees, to hold hearings and seat a Trump nominee now. After the election, should Trump lose, which current polls give every indication will be the case, it would be an even more hypocritical move.

Then again, McConnell is no stranger to hypocrisy.

That leaves it for a solid Democrat minority to block the nomination, which I have no doubt they can do, by filibuster if necessary. But a filibuster might not be needed if only 3 decent Republicans step up to the plate and say, "It's morally wrong to seat the nominee of a lame-duck President whose only duty now is handing over the reins of government to his successor. It's morally repugnant to allow an outgoing President to put his stamp on the next umpteen years of the Court, when the American people have clearly expressed their will at the polls and rejected his vision for our nation."

This is an idealist view, but I do believe that there are a few idealists left, even in Washington DC. Mitt Romney's vote at the impeachment trial confirmed it for me. There are Republicans who will stand for principal.

She may very well so. But it’s enshrined in the constitution. She cannot change that. And personally I cannot understand all the hysteria regarding “Roe Vs Wade”

The US Supreme Court has had the same makeup.........5 to 4 Conservative / Liberal for over 50 years. If they really were going to overturn it, wouldn’t they have done so already?

All the overturn would do is just put the issue right back to the states to decide to enact pro abortion or anti abortion laws. Even before Roe, Abortion was legal in states like New York and California, and NY recently enshrined protections for abortion rights into state law.
