Plus he doesn't have the votes. He won't have Manchin who can claim the 2016 precident, they dont have Lisa M, do you think, Collins is in an election battle, plus there is Romney.

Keep the moral high ground and use it as an election issue like you did in 2016

As long as Mitch knows he has 50 votes, the nominee goes through before the election.

He needs to do it either way. Gloves off. Cards on the table. Expose the weaklings before the election. Piss the Trump faithful off. Make em get out and vote.

This is why Trump has already released his list. They are ready.

Him & Mitch should do it. Fk the democrats

They’re gonna turn her funeral into another Wellstone Memorial get out the vote event.

I will not say anything about RGB except many of her rulings HURT the nation and caused further division.

Condolences to her family. I disagreed with her often but respected her. She was quite a character and a real legend in her time.

I don't believe her death makes much difference. Trump is going to win and will be able to seat someone else in her place. I expect however that they will push to get this done before the election if they can. The Dems cant filibuster anymore(buy their own rule) so they really don't have a way to stop it if the GOP Senate stands united and pushes it.

Take no prisoners.

Hope the list didn't come from the same people who recommended Roberts or Kavanaugh. Do some extreme vetting. Can't afford to screw this one up.

What High Ground? This has been a backroom whorehouse fight since before the last inauguration!

LOL...This is pretty much what I was thinking and honestly...The best thing you can do either way is select a moderate. The SCOTUS is a club and once on it they tend to fool the hell out of everyone with decisions. I think they become very good friends and respect each other. That lends to surprise votes. We have seen this over and over. Just pick a moderate and let them do their thing. It will probably be the best for the country in the long run.

50/50 Pence is tiebreaker. Dems would do it.

No Romney, No Collins, No Lisa M, No Manchin

51 votes against moving forward

Don't try. Use this to come across as the bigger person and throw the gauntlet to the voters.

Excuse me? Manchin's not a Republican, lol. Without the first 3, it's a 50-50 tie, and Pence breaks it, afaik, unless there is some procedural vote that doesn't allow the VP to break ties.

Justice Ted Cruz

Or hell- nominate Roy Moore

Someone said Graham had made remarks about opposing an October appointment in 2018, he's the judiciary chairman and is in a tight race.

Wow... Rest In Peace. This election just got 10 times more important for the United States...

True, but as someone has already listed, it doesn't have to be next Monday. While the middle finger salute is tempted, it needs to be balanced against whether nominating now would motivate previous stay at homes to the polls.

I don't know if it would be the kick in the rear needed but I know we will see 'Handmaiden Tales' ads alluding to Trump striking down Row v. Wade.

She should have retired a long time ago... the left wouldnt be in this pickle.

Ill pray for her Godspeed

Just dont give me how much of a patriot she was .... anyone who says the law of the land is a living document is no patriot, ever.

Daniel Cameron would make the left stroke out.

The Democrats made their bed the last four years with their Russia hoax, their Impeachment sham and how they treated Kavanaugh was a travesty. We are tired of watching the Democrats work to destroy our Nation. They’ve sponsored and encouraged rioting and looting in the cities they control.

If Trump doesn’t get this done many of his supporters are going to be pissed.

If Hillary would have won the 2016 election the Democrats would be working overtime to get that seat filled before the election.
