Her lawyer won't respond until the last minute, because the goal is to delay the vote. Then it'll be a week or two of agreeing to terms, then a week to schedule, with a date picked for a month out, then a delay due to reasons, all resulting in the vote being pushed past midterms. Once they've achieved that, she can answer any questions without fear, because the damage will be done.


Well to be fair, shouldn't we be holding off nominations until after the midterms anyway as the will of the American people is important? Isn't that what Republicans spent over a year arguing when they stole a seat from Obama?

Exactly. The McConnell rule. If GOP loses the Senate, it was the will of the American people that Trump nominate a less hyperpartisan judge who may or may not be a sex offender.


Never forget that Teddy Cruz and others also began floating the idea, prior to the 2016 election, if Hillary had one they may have just kept every seat empty along the way until the next presidential election.

So if these guys want to be consistent I hope that if they somehow lose the Senate, a long chance but still not impossible, Trump will no longer get a single judge confirmed. Because fuck it


So conversely, if Republicans maintain a majority you're cool with them nominating an even more extreme judge, since that's the will of the people, right? Are you actually ready to bet it all on the midterms?


There's no other seat open. RBG just has to make it until the primaries open and then we're far too close to an election to nominate a replacement, according to the Republican's own standards.

If you're talking about the current opening then lmao, be my guest and nominate more and more extreme right people. Keep driving off the moderates and putting pressure on the middle of the road Republican Senators to go against the wishes of their constituents, only going to give them more problems come 2020 elections.
