Ruth was great for womanhood...not so much for the most defenseless of Americans.
In some parts of America and to a lot of people womanhood is the most defenseless of Americas.

I'm not planning on wasting my time on this impending $hit show right now. A Trump nominee will not get pushed through before the election. Trump will win re-election though and a new conservative SCOTUS Justice will be installed next year.
I agree !!

Without hypocrisy, Schumer and Pelosi would not exist.

I don't think the GOP can push this through, but no matter, Trump will be re-elected.
I disagree on both counts. I think the Republicans will push through an appointment because they are hypocrites. And Trump will lose the election. And if the Democrats take over the Senate and Presidency and keep the House they should pack the court. It is time for the Democrats to play by the same "rules" as the Republicans play (which is to say there are none).

Talk about a severe case of anal-cerebral inversion. Worst I have ever seen.

No, but if the Democrats win the Senate, keep the House, and take the Presidency they should pack the court. Sick and tired of Republican hypocrisy and BS; time to fight fire with fire. Obama tried to work with the Republicans and got shat upon.

There is a typo in your posting. You meant to say "wing-nuts" instead of progressives.

I meant to say malignant progressives but I try to avoid redundancies. GFY.

Yes, during his 8 YEARS, Obama worked to end Homelessness.
Why didn't he tell Pelosi about this, instead Pelosi has a 'tent city' in her district.

Mitch, who once loudly proclaimed that a SCOTUS seat must not be considered a year from the election, will sell his soul to get one approved less than fifty days from the election.
The President and the Senate are controlled by the same party. The last time that a Supreme Court Justice was confirmed when that was not the case was back around 1880. So this would be in keeping with 140 years of precedence.
There is precedent for confirming a U.S. Supreme Court judge in a short period of time. John Paul Stevens was confirmed in 19 days. Sandra Day O’Connor was confirmed in 33 days. Justice Ginsburg was confirmed in 42 days. So that gives you an idea that even though it typically takes about 60 days to confirm a justice, there is precedent for doing it in a shorter period of time.
And Trump will be President until at least January, 2021.

That was not the argument put forth by the GOP in 2016. I'm not sure where you pasted that comment from but it is the argument that many of them have already run to. RGB was deceased for a matter of minutes before the pledges to replace her began flowing in...despite the 2016 promises and rationalizations.
Our political leaders are so full of crap.
In 2016 they should have just said we are going to table this SCOTUS nominee because we can...we hold the power here.
Instead they swore oaths that they must now break, to not consider a nominee in an election year.
I am happy to get to tilt the court firmly conservative.
It's just a shame that our alleged leaders are such worms. So many conservative senators will have to unabashedly violate their own verbal promises. I am sure they will not feel their shame.
We get to seat a conservative justice simply because we can. It's about who controls the power at this moment.
