RBG Hospitalized for Gallbladder Condition

Didn't Mitch McConnell refuse to countenance an Obama appointee close to the election, as it would be inappropriate?
The idea that the GOP have more principles than the DEMs is very amusing and everything, but guys, nobody important cares what we write - a little honesty is in order here.

Don't forget, Obama (a sitting President) was not running.

Come on Jolly, just have the courage to say it was opportunistic then and it would be opportunistic now. The only principle applied was ‘because we can’.

There are shades of opportunism.

Shades? They're more like curtains.

In theory. The senate might have to change their rules.
He has to nominate and the senate has to approve. I think it's only Senate rules that would prevent that from happening in rapid succession. And the Senate is GOP controlled.

Roosevelt tried that. It was met with outrage by both parties.

@George-K I don't know the historic context, but why would that upset the Democrat party today?

Good question. I don't know.

The time for principled outrage in politics is over. The only thing keeping any political party from doing anything to win is prison.

California's secession can't come fast enough. Let them have their own prisons and politicians. And let the disadvantaged vote with their feet as they flock to that nirvana.

One of the main reasons I really would hate to see Trump force through a candidate at the last minute is it would give huge energy to the ‘pack the court’ faction in the party. (For the record Biden has consistently opposed it.)

force
nice word choice
If a candidate is needed this year he would have to nominate one. This would be entirely legal, justified and expected.
Giving away a SCOTUS seat would be unthinkable.

Biden will do what his handlers tell him to do.

Actually, this was for a time she was in the hospital in 2019, but I think we were on the other forum board on that time?
A former health care worker who illegally leaked the health records of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison.
and
Russell denied all charges, suggesting his cat might have walked across the keyboard and accidentally called up Ginsburg’s data,
(that is at least somewhat original. 555)
