Mitch McConnell Wasted No Time Being Human Garbage After RBG’s Death |

Posted by https://salaamallah.com/ on Sat Sep 19 02:38:14 2020 Mitch McConnell Wasted No Time Being Human Garbage After RBG’s DeathYAHOO NEWS Fri, September 18, 2020, 7:05 PM PDT Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged on Friday to hold a Senate vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg had died just hours earlier of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer at the age of 87. Ginsburg herself said just a few days before her death that she did not want her seat to be filled until after the election. “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” she told her granddaughter. In the months leading up to the 2016 election, McConnell refused to consider President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland after the death that February of conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. But this situation — in which he’s trying to shoehorn a justice picked by President Trump just 46 days before a presidential election — is different, he says, making sure to justify his decision by reminding us that Republicans are, in fact, in both the presidency and the U.S. Senate. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year,” McConnell said in a statement. “By contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we worked with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary. Once again, we will keep our promise.” A right-wing justice would give the Supreme Court a 6-3 conservative majority, which could affect all types of issues from the Affordable Care Act to Roe v. Wade. So far, at least four Republican Senators have pledged that they will not consider a Supreme Court appointment until after the next inauguration, including Susan Collins, Chuck Grassley, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney. Democrats are calling for the Senate to wait until a new president is installed to vote on a Supreme Court nominee, saying that McConnell set a precedent with his refusal to consider Garland. “Mitch McConnell set the precedent,” Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey wrote on Twitter. “No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.” But McConnell has shown time and time again that he doesn’t care about precedent, or being a decent human — he only cares about power for the Republican Party. |

No, it isn't. And the precedent the turtle set is very relevant as well. All that’s needed now is one more republican senator to honor the precedent and the freedom of the majority can survive. |

This, however, is very important to women and it damn well is to your wife, daughter and granddaughters. Which means you’re a misogynist as it apparently isn't to you and they need to know that. |

There you go again. You know nothing about my wife, my daughter or any of my granddaughters. All of them are successful in their own right. All are very supportive of woman's rights and with the exception of my youngest grand, all are quite conservative. None of them run around like a chicken without a head, raving that their rights are in danger, |

Ginsburg has no say in how her successor is chosen.2. In no way will this make the political right give up the ability to effectively change the makeup of the court for years to come 3. The Democrats undermined all their "wait till after the election" arguments in 2016. If this makes you mad, remember that someone said elections have consequences. This is one of them. Have a nice day. |

No shit Sherlock.2. Understood. That's why some kind of non-partisan court packing should occur, like 1 new appointment every odd year. 3. Huh? The Republicans said to wait till after the election, and they got their way. It is total partisan hypocrisy to flip now. (And if the Democrats win, they have tools to fight back.) |

He's sub-human scum like Trump.Lindsay Graham said "the rules changed after the Kavanugh" situation. This is all about tit-for-tat revenge. In a Ruby Red states, he will likely win, but not by much. McCain would disown him. If Schumer becomes Majority Leader, that is the end of all filibuster rules. I was once for it as it forced moderation and compromise, but now both sides are content to do nothing. I like Buttigieg's proposal: expand the court to 15, 5-D, 5-R, 5 apolitical. |

You're still missing the point that there is only pro-Constitution and anti-Constitution, not two political "sides" ("right" and "left") trying to warp the Constitution into something it should not be. The anti-Constitution side is commonly called "the left". |

While you continue to dodge the question of what positions make someone “right,” I will be happy to provide examples. While I would never engage in a same sex marriage, denying same sex couples the benefits of marriage afforded to those of opposite sexes violates the 14th Amendment. That does not mean anyone has to be compelled to participate. As I have stated repeatedly, I believe that any baker can deny a custom cake order. I also think that the entire qualified immunity doctrine is judicial hogwash that has no basis in the Constitution. A good Judge or Justice should be able to leave their politics at the door and apply the Constitution wherever that may lead. The starting point should not be the conclusion and working backwards. The sad part about this is that President Trump has named some good Judges, but they are not on the short list. I would support Judge Amy St. Eve, a Trump nominee to the 7th Circuit, had he chosen to appoint her to the Supreme Court. |
