What train wreck is going to replace her.  Holy shit

[scine09]

For someone who knows more about this than me, how long can they delay naming a replacement?

I'm pretty positive they can't do anything.

damn

I have no doubt McConnell will try and ram someone through 

 

But this will hurt them in the election with the open hypocrisy 

 

I also think it’s possible a new one isn’t confirmed

Don't kid yourself.  Trump will name someone very, very soon and McConnell will get him/her confirmed in the lame duck session.

They can do it in the lame duck session after the election regardless of the winner and there will be no consequences

I think he asked what could be done to delay or stop the GOP from replacing her and I said nothing.

They may not name a replacement before the election. But the Dems have no way to stop a confirmation by the end of the term.

Trump doesn't really care about politics per se. He's just going to want to put another on the bench that he thinks will rule in his favor on any election issues. Would he nominate Barr?

My guess is that Trump names a woman and forces Biden to take a stand before election day.

0 chance he names a woman. he won't see this as a way to score political points. he'll see this as a way to win court cases of his own that make it to the supreme court.

RIP RBG.

Let the games begin.

 

I think this forces Joe to put out a list.
