    I wouldn't count them out. Besides democrats trying to hold Mitch to a purity standard that he may or may not have set himself, there's no legitimate reason to not have a nominee. A justice died, time to pick a new one. Whether there's 40 months left in a term, or 2, it shouldn't matter.
    Mitch’s maneuver 4 years ago was one of canniest, duplicitous political moves of my lifetim. I called it a gamble then, but I was wrong. He wasn’t going to lose anything, only win or draw.
    Fast forward 4 years and there’s a double standard level of hypocrisy
    Obama was a lame duck. Trump is in active re-election mode with Supreme Court one of his core issues. Selecting a SC justice now will help him or hurt him at the ballot box

    The idiots not understanding the politics of this vacancy with a president up for re-election versus an outgoing president should not vote. Do you morons understand elections?

    I understand politics greatly

    There are political reasons to push through a candidate

    There are political reasons why the optics are really bad

    Christ. If you want to be "fair", either a president gets to appoint a SCOTUS nominee during his administration or he doesn't. Enjoy the win and let the other team bitch about the refs. The more you argue the more obviously full of shit you are.

    I laughed

    Reality is that you can spin this either way

    The PR war is going to be massive leading into the election

    If someone gets nominated I’d recommend a slam dunk caliber candidate that would be relatively agreeable to all ... like that exists

    I can see both sides of the coin but I’m not sure I see this as a great strategy move by Republicans

    Is Mitch McConnel a hypocrite? Um, fuck yes. They are almost all trash ass people. Never trust any of them. That said, winners win. I think the GOP shoving through a conservative probably hurts Trump's reelection chances, as it will energize the Dems base in a BIGLY way, but, a 6-3 majority (let's face it it's really 5-4 because Roberts is a turd) might be worth 4 years of Corn Pop shitting himself in the White House. 5.5-3.5 SCOTUS for a generation is probably a bigger deal then anything that happens the next 4 years.

    Also, the crying from the left (and partially justified tbh) will be EPIC! This is must see TV. I mean fuck me, this election just got Thunderdome level exciting.

    Do it Mitch. Do it.

    p.s. If Susan Collins fucks us here, she will rot in fiery RINO hell with McCain and that Mormon loser...

    edit: @CFetters_Nacho_Lover just sent me a twat where Murkowski has already bitched out, and Collins and Grassly are wavering. So, it appears nothing has changed with the GOP. Same cuck losers they have always been.

    I dont really find pushing through a nomination particularly hypocritical.

    Anyone who thinks that unwritten rules ever mattered in the Senate is retarded. The "its an election year" was always an unneeded pussy excuse instead of just saying "elections have consequence" and doing exactly what the power provided.

    Push the vote, the reward is so much more than any of the possible negatives.

    Collins, Murkowski, Romeny, Grassly... only need one plus a pence tie break.

    Those four better figure the fuck out the tidal wave of disgust toward the leftists or find a new line of work.

    The SLC Olympics were a long, long time ago and Mitt has consistently overplayed his hand. It takes one nod from the LDS Church and he's gone. No warning, just gone.

    Murkowski will get punted. Alaskans don't fuck around with foolishness.

    Collins probably safe regardless simply because Maine is fucking Maine - who the fuck knows what that state is about. Can we sell it to Canada and take Alberta in exchange?

    Grassley will vote party line. Because - Iowa.

    Oh I agree. Lean on the 4 wimps until one of them, just one, goes your way. Who gives a fuck what happens after that in the election. Balance of power conservative SCOTUS for the next 20 years, minimum. Worth almost any price to be paid imo. I do think if Biden wins and the Dems take the Senate they will just expand the SCOTUS and pack it. So that's an issue.

    edit: But who are we kidding. The Dems are whining lying hysterical cunts, and the GOP are beta cuck losers. They all suck. The Dems would ram a nomination through in a month burning standard protocol and procedure to the ground. The GOP will fiddle fuck around and cite principles all the way to losing the chance to tilt the court. Losers lose. The GOP is full of losers.
    Change a few words in your edit to Jimmy Lake, Bonerpopper, Bob Gregory, Jen Cohen, The Pac 12 or just UW and this is almost every post you will find on the HCHB or the recruiting bored. We here in the wastelands are nothing if not consistent in our following of weak, loser pussies. Cheers @Swaye

    Really? The dems trying to steal an election in Florida in 2000? Stealing an election in 1960 in Illinois? Using the CIA, FBI, DOJ and the US House of Representatives to unseat a President? Are you 6 months old?
    2000 was litigated, the process worked.

    No idea what this Illinois thing is.

    Wash your hands old timmer.
    Like I said - Are you six months old? The issue was dems trying to and actually stealing an election. So, the dems successfully stole the 1960 election for JFK with fraudulent Chicago dem machine votes. The tried and failed in 2000. Actual facts and history don't seem to be an important part of your life. Like facts actually matter to leftards. Keep rooting for the away team.

    You seem upset. I hear long walks help. Do you have a beach nearby?
