And while they're at it why not repeal the 19th amendment too right Boomer?

Why? Shouldn’t all citizens have the right to vote?

Why? Shouldn’t all citizens have the right to vote?

Exactly.


Which is why McConnell doesn't get to say who's on the SCOTUS until after the election when the people vote for who gets to replace RBG.

How many grandkids were not born because their mothers made a choice that has nothing to do with anyone but them and them alone?
Nor has it anything to do with you Boom.
Wanna choice in whether to abort a child? Be a woman. Otherwise, STFU.

You cant abort a child and besides, Be careful in claiming something decriminalized to an exclusive Right which it isnt or it WILL backfire.

Go be terrorists all you want, just dont cry when you get life.

Do your homework Walter.

 

[petros]

That's kind of a stretch Birdie.

 

[pgs]

Exactly.

Well the outcome of whether or not to replace her really falls on Ginsberg’s shoulders . She could have retired with dignity and praise during the Obama Presidency , she was already in poor health , unfortunately she expected Hillary was a lock . Look what that got her .

 

[petros]

In case this was missed.

Poked around a little.
The rule is that there will be no confirmations in an election year when different parties control the Senate and the White House.
That’s it. No other "rules".
Republicans control both and are entitled to make the pick whenever a seat comes open.

I know Mitch in 2016 was saying just election year. And to be honest, the non appointing is not just a Republican thing. The Democrats have done it to Republican presidents many times too. I think it is not really a rule but just politiking. But they can't say that of course.

 

[petros]

The only rule is what I've posted.

That's it, the arent any other "rules".

They can appoint someone today if they wanted and it stands.

Elections have consequences.

Sorry, you want to abort a bunch of cells that if given time may or may not become a viable person... that better?

As for it being an exclusive right - yeah, ultimately it is.

Should a father have a say? Depends; if the circumstances warrant it, yes. But in the case of incest/abuse/rape, HELL no.

But in the end, it's STILL the choice of a carrying mother and no one else.

You want that choice to abort, be a woman or, again, STFU.

 

[petros]

Do you have any nonviable cells in your body? Best get rid of em quick!

You've killed (aborted) your default position of "incest/abuse/rape" because you still think it's a Right...

I'll STFU if it ever is a bonafide Right.

Until then get used to being called a murderer.

What Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Death Means for America

A furious battle over a Supreme Court vacancy is arguably the last thing the United States needs right now.

The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today represents a devastating loss for feminists who held up the 87-year-old as an icon of women’s rights, and as a bulwark protecting abortion rights and a wide range of other progressive ideals on a conservative Supreme Court. The Brooklyn-born jurist became one of the nation’s foremost advocates against gender discrimination as a lawyer for the ACLU, decades before President Bill Clinton appointed her to be the second woman to sit on the high court.

But her passing less than two months before the presidential election also tosses one more lit match into the tinderbox of national politics in 2020: It will surely inflame a deeply polarized country already riven by a deadly pandemic, a steep economic downturn, and civil unrest in its major cities.

In Washington, the vacancy fight could ratchet up tensions to a level unseen even in the tumultuous Trump era. President Donald Trump will be eager to fill Ginsburg’s seat immediately, seizing an opportunity to rally his base before the election and to cement his legacy in the event that he is defeated in November. He could also become the first president since Richard Nixon to install three justices on the high court in a single four-year term. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has already indicated that he’s ready for another confirmation battle, either before or immediately after the election. Republicans might be hard-pressed to consider and approve a Trump nominee in the eight weeks before November, but even a victory by Vice President Joe Biden and a Democratic takeover of the Senate might not prevent Trump from successfully appointing another justice. Republicans would still control both the White House and the Senate until a new Congress takes office in early January.

Ginsburg made her own desire clear in the days before her death, NPR’s Nina Totenberg reported today. She dictated a statement to her granddaughter that read: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”.....More

Supreme Court: Notable names on Trump's list of potential nominees

President Donald Trump has updated a roster of more than 20 potential Supreme Court nominees in recent weeks, a list that includes prominent and lesser-known conservatives who would undoubtedly tilt the court further rightward if one were appointed.

The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, a liberal icon, provides Trump with an opportunity to appoint his third justice to the bench, a move that is sure to infuriate Democrats and satisfy Republicans looking to add a sixth conservative justice to the court.

Here are some of the more notable members of Trump's list of potential nominees:

Amy Coney Barrett

A former clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Barrett was Trump's pick for a seat on the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

Born in 1972, she served as a professor of law at her alma mater, Notre Dame.

During her confirmation hearing, she had a contentious exchange with Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who asked her about past writings concerning faith and the law. At one point, Feinstein asked Barrett if the "dogma lives loudly in her." Supporters of Barrett suggested Feinstein was attempting to apply a religious litmus test to the nominee.

Barrett is quoted in a 2013 publication affiliated with Notre Dame as saying she thinks it is "very unlikely at this point" that the Supreme Court is going to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion decision that legalized abortion in the US.

Amul Thapar
Thapar was handpicked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to serve as the US attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. In 2006, he went on to a seat on the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

Trump nominated Thapar to the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017.

Born in Michigan in 1969, Thapar has served in government as well as the private practice. In 2007, he was the first American of South Asian descent to be named to an Article III federal judgeship.

Former US Solicitors General Paul Clement and Noel Francisco
Francisco, who stepped down as solicitor general in July at the end of the Supreme Court's last term, had served as many controversial issues came to the court, including disputes regarding the President's financial records, the travel ban, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, religious liberty and the effort to add a citizenship question to the census.

Clement served as solicitor general during George W. Bush's presidency. One of the most experienced appellate advocates in the country, he has argued more than 100 cases before the court, including those involving health care, religious liberty and voting rights.

Barbara Lagoa
Trump appointed Lagoa to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals in 2019. Before that, she was the first Hispanic woman and the first Cuban American woman on the Supreme Court of Florida.

If appointed to the high court, she would be its second justice of Latino descent, joining Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who became its first Latino member in 2009.

Sen. Tom Cotton
Trump added several new names to his list earlier this month, including three Republican senators. Though two of them have said they aren't interested in a spot on the bench, the third, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, could prove to be a highly consequential addition to the court if appointed.

Cotton, who responded to the news of being on Trump's list by saying he "will always heed the call of service to our nation," also said at the time that "It's time for Roe v. Wade to go." Trump, who opposes abortion rights and gun regulations, warned after the list's unveiling that "our cherished rights are at risk including the right to life and our great Second Amendment."

 

[Dixie Cup]

Petros is correct - Trump can nominate whenever he wants either before or after the election. If you look at historical appointments, previous Administrations did exactly that so if Trump decides to nominate someone, he has every right to do so.

RBG did Americans a real disservice by leaving such a statement which clearly showed her hatred towards President Trump.
It's really too bad she had to leave the planet on such a sour note as she was such an accomplished activist & jurist. She led a remarkable life.

If I were her granddaughter, I would not have released that note. The country is divided enough as it is and this simply makes things worse but that's just me.

RBG - Rest in Peace with the knowledge that you may have created a "war" by your last words (figuratively speaking I hope).

JMHO

And while they're at it why not repeal the 19th amendment too right Boomer?

Just repeal Roe v. Wade

It's the Lefts way of not taking personal responsibility for one actions..

Seems to be the way of this generation, blame everyone else for their choice.

At the same time enforce stronger parental responsibility laws for the men who get a women pregnant..

There was once a time when a family unit, Mother & Father was a tradition..

This family unit has been eroded by the left and the standard of living with it too.

 

[taxslave]

I have plenty of problems with Kavanaugh, but sometimes frat boys do grow up.
My objection to him being on the Court is that he clearly and obviously lied under oath to the Judiciary Committee.

He is a lawyer. What do you expect.

You want to start burning witches again too? Maybe make blacks ride on the back of the bus? Which really sucks when you are the driver.
