With 44 days till the election McConnell says the Senate will vote on Trump's Nominee for the Supreme Court...

Obama had a year left on his term but McConnell refuse a vote on Merrick Garland saying it too close to the election...

Does that spell Banana Republic?

It’s going to be interesting to say the least.

Buster didn’t have a friendly senate, Trump does.

I guess the stars are in alignment  :rockon:

Here she is folks, your next Supreme Court Justice  :D

^^ so in an election year Trump ceases to be President?

You say he’s going to lose, then why not? Nominate  and confirm, piss on your feelings

Might be different if the Nazis hadn’t been dicks all through his term.

Posted by Expatriate on Sep. 20 2020,5:18 am
^^McConnell used that argument in 2016 when he refused to even have a vote on Merrick Garland who was nominated by Obama to replace Scalia.

Doesn't that set a historic precedent that should be followed seeing we have the same Senate Majority Leader who imposed this ruling in 2016 but now when the tables are turned he doesn't see his past logic...

I only hope the America people can see the stalwart cronyism practiced by the Republican Party....

^^ that was then, this is now, tough shit buttercup  :rofl:

Amy Barrett wil most likely be tapped. Try accusing her of rape :rofl: though I imagine the Nazis will think of some bullshit.

As I’ve stated, this will impact the court for years to come and in the unlikely event Gropey and the Nazis take over this will protect the constitution against Nazi law making.

By the way, was Ginsberg’s death attributed to covid? :rofl:

No it doesn't set a precedent.  In fact 17 supreme court justices have been confirmed by the senate during an election year.
Being the majority leader of the senate, the leader can set whether or not a nominee gets a hearing or not.  
It isn't out of the norm for a senate to refuse a hearing if one party holds the senate and another party holds the presidency.
Mcconnell took a gamble that trump would get elected over clinton and it payed off, guess it's one of those "fortune favors the bold" type things.


I'm no fan of the "it's an election year" excuse.

Posted by Self-Banished on Sep. 21 2020,5:08 am
This would be an excellent choice

< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Lagoa >

Already senate approved with about 83 votes :D

@GD

I have no doubt on your numbers of appointments of nominees in the past.
But what happened in 2016 sets a precedent under Article I, section 5, clause 2 of the Constitution, I know it's vague,  Senators create a precedent when they go along with the Presiding Officer’s rulings.  So now the Democrats have a legal argument. To change it back at this point would take a two thirds Senate vote.

The Senate Judiciary Committee leaders also prominent Republicans spoke out in-favor of Senate Majority leader McConnell's unprecedented ruling that no nominee should receive a vote in the final year of a President.

Personally I don't believe the framers ever meant to give one man ( McConnell ) this type of power. There should have been a vote on Merrick Garland.

So now we have a mess created by political cronyism on McConnell's part...

Posted by Self-Banished on Sep. 21 2020,5:52 am
^^ legal argument? Show me where in constitutional law where it says our President can’t nominate and the senate approve.

I get what you are saying, however precedent isn't law and most of all doesn't negate or change constitutional powers afforded to either house.  As you pointed out Article 1 Section 1 does provide that each house can set its rules on how it proceeds.

29 times the senate has blocked a candidate when the senate party differed from the party in the whitehouse.  Article 2 Section 2 also states the Senate's role to advice and consent.  Rejecting a presidents nominee for consideration, still falls under the consent role of the Senate.

Again, no fan of the "election year" excuse, I however see it for what it is, politics and chess maneuvering.

Blocked by vote is one thing for the Majority Leader of the Senate to make a ruling without vote and for the Senate Judiciary Committee to speak out in favor of such a ruling makes it past practice or a precedent.
 
From what I've read McConnell's actions were unprecedented,

McConnell decreed "there'd be no vote on a Justice in the finale year of a President's term and the people should decide with the election of a new President"

How do we just overlook the Senate Majority leader's Decree of 2016?

Posted by Self-Banished on Sep. 22 2020,8:07 am
^^ how did we overlook? Just think of Buster and all his lies and you’ll be fine.

Not a big fan of McConnell but he does have his moments  :rockon:

I’m not a fan of this turd either but I’ll take it today

< https://www.politico.com/news....-419898 >

Garland wasn’t appointed because the senate decided he wasn’t worth their time, simple as that, whoever Trump names as a nominee (hopefully Barret) will most likely be considered by the senate.

I wonder how theyd try to pull a “Kavanaugh” on her :blush:

Trump will announce his nomination for SCOTUS late this afternoon, almost a sure bet it will be Barrett, furthermore almost a sure bet she’ll be approved👍

I have a question and I’m not getting very satisfactory results searching, if, on the off chance Trump loses the election and the senate flips, could they nominate and approve yet another justice?

I’ve heard Thomas is making noises towards retirement 😈

Interesting man

< https://www.cnn.com/2020....ex.html >

Would he want to take it easy and enjoy life or would he want to die with that seat?

If the senate flips in the 2020 election, the new senators don't take office until January.  Barring any complete foul ups in the current senate, the confirmation process will proceed as scheduled and if confirmed the nominee will fill the vacant seat.  So until one becomes available the new senate will have to wait, unless they decide to go for broke and take the chance at political suicide and increase seats on the USSC.

My thoughts for the most part, I would think it’d be fine strategy to have Thomas retire in these circumstances and replace him with a younger justice. This would ensure a constitutional court for decades :thumbsup:
