9-6 coming your way.
Mitch is running the show now. I think he knows confirming before the election likely hurts Trump and a handful of vulnerable senators. I think he’s ok with that.
Yup. He is playing into the script of a 9-6. Will see if he pushes the confirmation until after the election. Even a nomination before the election could hurt Trump.
LOL.
Doesn’t hurt Trump with anybody that understands the Biden/Harris platform.
Let us all hope it doesn't come to that. Yep, regaining control of the Senate the Dems could up the SC to a 9-6 split. And that would last until the GOP regains the Senate...and off we go running!
Besides, if we were to get a true conservative justice to replace Ruthie it would make it only 5-4, at best, to the good. Roberts has been anything but a conservative justice.
It'll be hard to tell because Trump was at a historic deficit prior to the SCOTUS news.

In reality, overturning Roe v Wade returns control of that issue to the states. Louisiana is the most pro-life state in the union and eliminating abortion here is going to reduce it by small numbers here. New York, California etc. are still going to have legal abortion. The holy grail of SC justices for the pro-life cause serves the Republican party, predominantly, to keep one issue voters in line especially if nothing is done about it. Some pro-life voters are weighing the reality of my first statement against what they perceive as the character issues with Trump. Remember, single issue voters are conscience voters. They tend to have moral standards when it comes to behavior. Evangelical voters had the biggest switch from "character matters" to "character doesn't matter" in polling in the last 4-6 years. That is a tenuous line to balance because the cognitive dissonance is loud.
Roe v. Wade is just one of the hot-button items that the SC can affect. There is also all the 1st and 2nd Amendments issues to consider. Voters who care about the Bill of Rights are likely to want a conservative SC to uphold those rights.
In my post, I did not mention Roe v. Wade, just that a significant % of voters in battleground states cited SC appointees as a, or THE, reason they voted for Trump in 2016. Now, maybe Roe was that key issue for those voters, but it was not expressly stated. I assumed, from the language of the report...and maybe I just projected my own view into that assumption...that it was a "we want a conservative justice(s)" rather than "we want someone who will overturn Roe v. Wade."
But, weunice, you are correct, of course, about overturning Roe simply returning the issue to the 50 separate states. It's what Ruthie was worried about, since she was such a strong advocate of murdering babies. She stated many times how she would have preferred baby-murder to have been made law at the state level and for the SC to NEVER have been asked to make a ruling on it. She also famously said, which she may or may not have been right about, that in the early 1970's there was ample momentum on the side of baby-murder that many, most, maybe all states would have eventually passed a law allowing it, at least to some degree. But, the lawsuit which eventually beget Roe v. Wade took it out of the hands of all those separate state movements and the local (state) momentum slipped away.
Ruthie was 100% correct though when she warned those celebrating baby-murder as "the law of the land" to be ever mindful that Roe could very easily, and quickly, be overturned by the same SC they leaned on.
Do you want a "conservative" or an "originalist"? It seems many more on the right are NOW wanting a judge to advocate for conservative causes as opposed to being a strict constitutionalist. Seems like that's judicial activism. Now, I can understand the argument that you need activism on the right to combat activism on the left...I don't agree, but I understand.
I think ABC's answers when asked about her religion have been very good with regard to how she approaches her job as a judge. I think the left is playing a dangerous game if they go hard after her catholicism...you know where a lot of catholics live? The midwest.

Yep Biden is a crook and a scumbag.

Senate Report Says Joe Biden Allowed Family to Enrich Themselves Abroad While He Was VP
A new Senate report released Wednesday concludes that former Vice President Joe Biden allowed Hunter Biden and other members of his family to enrich themselves through links with foreign companies and governments while he was in office.
The report notes that the Obama administration was aware of, but did nothing about the conflict of interest that was created when Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was appointed to the board of Burisma, a corrupt Ukrainian fossil fuel company.
Much more:

Lol. Cause he has the ability to stop Hunter, a grown ass adult, from doing what he chooses.
What did the report say about POTUS’s children that are enriching themselves with foreign companies and governments?
So you libs like slimy Biden with his kickbacks from Russia and China huh? I guess Obama let Biden family crap go scott free because he was in tight with Iran, as in $4 Billion tight.

No, because he enabled Hunter to be in the position to do that by his connections. If Hunter wants to 'knock-up' a stripper, I don't blame Joe for that other than for bad parenting. But if you introduce your son to these people and this is the result then Joe definitely has some of the blame.
The report cleared Joe. No surprise there. The fact that Hunter traded off on his dad’s name is not something in Joe’s control.
Which introduction do you find problematic?
