Wow, never thought the loser would try masquerading as a winner. It's on. Fuck Murkowski and Collins. Do it.

In response, even moderate liberals are proposing a variety of bold options, like adding additional seats to the court as Franklin Roosevelt once tried to do to push the court to stop overturning his New Deal programs. However, there has been comparatively little attention to the simplest and easiest way to get around potentially tyrannical right-wing justices: just ignore them In response, even moderate liberals are proposing a variety of bold options, like adding additional seats to the court as Franklin Roosevelt once tried to do to push the court to stop overturning his New Deal programs.

Mitt setting himself up as Media Darling for the dramatic NO! vote

Mitt's new friends sure dumped him fast. Hate to see it.

Mittens, thankfully is in a hard place. The dems will crucify Amy Barrett for being a Catholic. It's only okay if you are a fake Catholic like Pelosi or Biden and really worship PP. Substitute Mormon for Catholic and if Mittens votes against Amy he has just told his Church that no Mormon should hold public office. They should be disqualified as a result of their religion. He doesn't vote for Barrett, he will be totally ostracized by his fellow Mormons.

Best part of Barrett will be all the footage of Dems attacking a woman for deeply held religious beliefs right before the election. We all know Dems love to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so here is another chance for them to CUOG it big.

Not surprising. There's no coherent Constitutional argument for why Trump shouldn't put forth a nominee. McConnell and Graham may have exposed themselves as the spineless gremlins we always knew they were, but that doesn't change the principle of the current moment.

Yep. There are certain GOP senators (especially those two) who will come out looking like major hypocrites. But Trump isn't doing anything wrong by nominating someone and Mitt isn't doing anything wrong by voting on them.

The hypocrisy extends to both sides of course. A real everyone does it moment including Biden

The outsider Trump didn't promise anything or make any pronouncements.

Mitch didn't have to do anything in 2016 other than say fuck off we aren't voting.

At any rate there is no rule or law or reason not to move forward

And so it was written on the golden tablets, "Mittens, thou shalt put aside the ego and vote as the President of the Church prescribes....or you will get an ugly ass bitch as your celestial wife".

Mittens didn't actually say he would CONFIRM the nominee....

But but but RGB's dying wish!

Also, I was right about Mittens, he hates Trump but he couldn't resist a conservative Supreme Court appointment that might rule on abortion.

doogie

Again, Pierre never said he’d back the pick only that it should come to a vote

WestlinnDuck

Mittens only chance out was to say it shouldn't come to a vote and if it did he would abstain. If it is proper to vote, he will need to vote to confirm or he will be dead to the Mormon Church.

doogie

Who else are they going to turn to?

WestlinnDuck

On abortion and first amendment rights for churches, Trump > Mittens.

The dems should take notes. Guys like McConnell and Graham are like kamikaze pilots. Everyone fucking hates them, and it may even cost them their jobs in November (though I wouldn't bet on it). But if the end result is that they won a 6-3 majority on the court, then that's a victory for them.
