Getting the Republican senate to do anything quick is like starting a diesel motor when it's -30 F. But hell, it's 2020 where weird things happen. The
Republicans might actually do something efficiently for once.

They might not be lockstep actually, some under the knife like Collins might vote no...

This is some super complicated politics for the Republicans, The USA consistently polls 2-1 against repealing Roe v. Wade so if they do force through another nutjob right wing weirdo onto the supreme court it could cause a backlash of losing big in the election. The counter is that may be worth it as presidents and senates come and go but you can have the court for decades.

It's an absolute lose-lose, which is why they're batshit if they are actually serious and follow through....

It's interesting though because these people care about absolutely nothing at this point apart from their status so it's all a big gamble. With no ideology or moral framework left post Trump it becomes a complicated chess game.

Moscow Mitch himself doesn't know what to do which is why he was running around the last few days telling these great senators of the United States of America to say nothing until they work out what could work.

Lindsey Graham is still favourite to hold onto his seat.

How could anyone vote for that?

Yes, but very close at 1%...

He probably DP'd a 14 year old on Epstein's plane with Bill.

No, Bill only does girls....

AOC is cute, though. But I can't listen to her speak; it dampens the fantasy.[/QUOTE

A monkey slapping the monkey to CSPAN on mute.

Slap the monkey? Sir, I full-up spank the monkey!

More Koch propaganda.

Dammit FORD, this is clickbait! I fast-forwarded all through that video and did not find any AOC except for the damn thumbnail. There's a monkey that needs spankin' dammit. Get with the program!

The importance played up on Roe v. Wade in these appointments is baffling... you are right, most the nation opposes repealing it. As you saw with the last 2 appointments with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh cases related to abortion didn't magically rise to the SC to be worked. Same with the ACA. This time will be no different.

Filtering out the noise... I believe this appointment will get pushed through before the election for one simple reason. Eliminate the 4-4 numbers and put the potential for a deciding vote with 9 jurors on the bench. First challenge for the court before New Years... will be sorting out the mess this election will create.
