Here's a map of the upcoming ugliness and perversion from the NYT....

  In 2016, Senate Republicans refused to consider President Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland, saying that holding hearings in the last year of a president’s term would deprive voters of a role in the process.

Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, led the effort to block Judge Garland’s nomination. But he has said he will press to fill any vacancy that might arise in the last year of Mr. Trump’s first term.

Mr. McConnell and his allies say the two situations are different. Where one party controls the Senate and the other the presidency, as in 2016, they say, vacancies should not be filled in a presidential election year. Where the same party controls both the Senate and presidency, they argue, confirmations may proceed.

Democrats say this is hairsplitting hypocrisy that damages the legitimacy of the court. But they may have little practical power to stop a third Trump nominee after changes in Senate rules on filibusters on nominations. All it takes now is a majority vote to confirm judicial nominees.... 

Fuck you,  Mitch you stupid bitch.

Biden is finally hitting trump for his golden diaper, connecting it to all his spills and messes.

How venal is Trump?

He explained that the Constitution does not require a census to be accurate.

Fuck you,  Mitch you stupid bitch.

How predictable of you to ignore the enormous contributions of Justice Ginsberg and jump right into distorting history.

I have repeatedly praised and revered RBG here for her many decades of stellar public service,  you lying festering pustule.   

The news story I quoted is well documented public record.   Which I posted on behalf of the great jurist and her valiant struggle to hold onto her seat.  Because she knew this would happen.   

FUCK YOU.

You didn’t post anything.
And so much for your hypocritical advice last week about “ forum bedside manner”.

Why are you still here?

Red spoke frequently of the "enormous contributions of Justice Ginsberg" [sic].

[facilitatorn]

Red thinks he’s having a big day. So do donald and Mitch.

It’s the start of Joe Biden saying, “oh shucks” and expanding the court to 13 seats.

The kindest thing I could say of Red is he's a miserable fascist vulture.

RIP Justice Ginsberg.

American democracy is now on death watch.

Hopefully there may be a enough R Senators who believe in the health of a gasping democracy and the will of the American people.

I am not hopeful.

I did.  Especially noting her footnote to Roe v. Wade.

2018

Ginsberg’s criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum on the side of change.
 Ginsburg believed the Court had gone too far, too fast, putting forward a "grand philosophy" at a time when many states were taking steps to "liberalize" abortion laws on their own.

"No measured motion, the Roe decision left virtually no state with laws fully conforming to the Court's delineation of abortion regulation still permissible," Ginsburg wrote in a 1993 Washington Post op-ed. "Around that extraordinary decision, a well-organized and vocal right-to-life movement rallied and succeeded, for a considerable time, in turning the legislative tide in the opposite direction."

She has been both proven correct and prophetic.

Fires everywhere.

But not from the protests.

Yes, from the rioting protests facilitatorn-ilk love with a passion.
Dumpster set on fire next to a cop shop, stuff burning in the streets.
Arrests made.
Those arrested will be sorry, if only they'd stayed home.
They'll rot in prison like the two lawyers...while those in the officers tent directing the traffic are untouchable.
Just like Lynndie England, off to prison she and the others at the bottom went, but not anyone else.

Dozens of posts over the last decade,  containing praise of RBG,  you lying clot of sickbed shit lodged inside a necrotic ballsack.   

I have never used the phrase "forum bedside manner," you lying etc.   

Keep making shit up,  you psychotic imbecile,  as you wank yourself off on the corpse of democracy.   

My bedside manner for you would involve unhooking your vital signs monitors and placing them on a healthier person, then a nice long face-hug from a My Pillow product.

Well the average time to confirm a SCt nominee is, per Congressional Research Service,  69 days.   The election is about 45 days away.
