I AM SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!! They have had this pre-canned and ready to go for a longgggg time. Planned Parenthood launches ad campaign to oppose Trump pick to replace Ginsburg on Supreme Court https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/22/pla...aign-to-oppose-trump-pick-to-replace-rbg.html
My point is that democrats aren’t playing chess. In some ways they weren’t even in the game. Judges are an issue every cycle in republican campaigns but not democrats. It’s an issue democrats didn’t take seriously enough and got burned when it’s an issue that should unite every wing of the left.
ok, so then they need to use every underhanded procedural bullshit the right used to halt this confirmation as they did w/Garland. They're already being accused of setting precedent by getting rid of the filibuster to nominate judges Obama had every right to nominate anyway (see that's the dems knowing the importance of the judicial but getting screwed for being nice).
[QUOTE="Here4money, post: 5208743, member: 496573" Obama had every right to nominate anyway (see that's the dems knowing the importance of the judicial but getting screwed for being nice).[/QUOTE] No one has disputed Obama's right to nominate. But he had no right to a confirmation hearing or a confirmation.
I guess but I don’t think that going tooth and nail on this one makes any sense for two reasons 1. Republicans are still going to get the nominee confirmed and 2. It’s not politically advantageous because by a 2:1 margin the American people want the next president to choose the next justice. It’s a built in losing issue for republicans.
