SCOTUS Thread (News and Discussion) II: Rape Isn't On My Calendar

[Gredival]

Is there any reason Dem's can't pull the same trick was used on them 4 years ago and refuse to take up any further SC nominations until after the election?

The Dems can't have control of the Senate until January. Garland couldn't get hearings because the GOP has the majority.

It's metastatic pancreatic cancer. She'll more than likely die at some point within the next couple of years.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Thomas suddenly retires and the republicans are quick to replace him with someone younger.

If they pull this shit during lame duck session, I think public opinion would be strong enough for the dems to pack the court and/or impose term limits.

yeah man check me out on my high horse of not hoping people live/die based on my political beliefs and hopes

Bad bait is bad. I was hoping you coming back would be more entertaining.

Lol. If you have to ask, the answer is no. Remember they want to return to bipartisanship and """""normal"""""

She has to hang on until early January 3 when the new Congress is sworn in (assuming the Dems get the Senate) or January 20th when Biden is sworn in (fingers crossed).

Remember that there's no filibuster for court appointments because GOP obstructionism on lower court seats forced the Dems to change the rules when they had the majority during Obama's 2nd term -- this promptly bit us in the ass once the GOP reclaimed the majority and sort of demonstrates why changing the rules when you have power is only a good idea if you can keep power (i.e. winning elections comes before everything)

Alternatively if it appears that the voters punished moderate senators for their involvement in the Garland and Kavanaugh fiascos (in other words, if Susan Collins loses badly) it is at least possible that some of the vulnerable 2022 senators (Murkowski, Rubio, Portman, Toomey, Johnson) might defect.

how is it bait lol, im gonna bait you into saying you dont actually care if she lives or dies just a matter of when?

[Yabby]

No one said they wanted her to die, stop putting words in people's mouth.

[Day]

they just want her to live another 6 months then whatever, big difference

[Gredival]

It's liver cancer this time btw.

[Yabby]

Sounds like you admit they want her to live and you are against that?

yeah i guess you could take it that way if you only have a couple brain cells

[Yabby]

Personal attacks just make you seem desperate my man.

think you're missing the whole, they don't care if she dies past jan whatever bit. maybe they did not mean it this way but that is how they posted it

are you missing this bit? please read posts before posting. thanks yabby

[Yabby]

Circle jerk crew reporting in a I see. No one said they wanted her to die.

[Day]

I didnt say anyone said they wanted her to die, im saying no one truly gives a shit so long as she lives another 6 months for personal political reasons

[D44kpunk]

how about we just don't wish anyone dies or lives for political gains?

it shouldn't be that hard for ycs to just not wish death on someone or try to plan assassinations.

i think if we work together we can accomplish that

It's liver cancer this time btw.

It's not a primary liver cancer. It's just in her liver. If her pancreatic cancer was treatable before it likely still is but if it's in her liver it's also probably in other places too.

See, the good thing about reality is that I don't need to wish for anyone to die for them to actually die. My "wish" holds no more or less power than their "my faith is my shield" hilarity.

So no, D44k, I don't wish for anyone to die. She will die, however, and relatively soon.
