    Is this true about "The McConnell Rule?"

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Jonah Goldberg:

      And the first tweet from the Biden campaign is...

      "The most important election EVAH!"

          McConnell says a vote will happen...

          https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/517178-mcconnell-says-trump-nominee-to-replace-ginsburg-will-get-senate-vote

          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

            Good luck with that.

            The schedule is tight, at best. The best Mitch could hope for is a vote after the election, and before the new Senate is seated in early January. I have little doubt that Trump will nominate someone, though.

              Would it be impolite to nominate someone before the funeral?

              Yes? OK, the funeral will be in February.

                Seen on twitter:

                Knowing 2020, we’ll have a 269-269 EC split decided by a 4-4 SCOTUS.

                They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                    Btw has anyone seen Betty White? 2020 has plenty of time left. We should bubble wrap her ASAP.

                              I saw something similar. However, given the fact that one of the liberal justices has passed away, the current leaning of the court is probably more like 5 to 3 rather than 4 to 4.

                                Sen John Thune, 2016. "Since the next presidential election is already underway, the next president should make this lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court."

                                    RBG? More like RIP.

                                      Yeah, all the excuses in 2016 were ill conceived and regrettable. They should have just said “we have the power to block any appointment and we are going to use that power in the interest of those voters that elected us.”Today they should say”we have the power to appoint a nominee and we are going to use that power in the interest of those voters that elected us.”

                                      Senate elections have consequences.

                                        I know there will be a lot of chatter about RBG and who will replace.

                                        But I thought it interesting what antonin Scalias son posted on twitter on what his dad felt about RBG

                                        There was a time when liberals and conservatives could not only respect one another, they could actually care for them deeply.

                                        Where did those days go??

                                          Indeed. I would have hoped we could at least hold off on the politics and vitriol until she was in the ground.
