My Take On The Possible Supreme Court Nomination
Posted by ChicagoMotorman on Sat Sep 19 17:03:48 2020 When Then President obama nonnominated Merrick Garland to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme court, Mitch McConnell said, would not consider any nominee put forth by Obama, and that a Supreme Court nomination should be left to the next President of the United States. That was in February 2016. At that time I agreed with McConnell. Now he wants to do the opposite. I also think it is too close the election. What makes McConnell feel that the democrats can't do it, but the Republicans can. McConnell and any other Senate Republican who entertains a Supreme Court nominee is a hypocrite.

And has gotten way worse (the kavanaugh spectacle was an atrocity) The Republicans will never supports democrat appointment, and the Democrats will never support a Republican appointment. And that is unfortunate, as it's supposed to be bipartisan

Neither Trump nor Biden want Justices who will uphold the Constitution. They want a particular outcome in certain types of cases and don't care what needs to be twisted to reach that result.

Had RBG died in February, a new nominee could have been exercising his/her duties prior to the end of the presidency. As is, even if someone was nominated this week, it is unlikely that the person would actually be on the Supreme Court until after January 20.

My point is that even post-Bork, Democrats have been quite supportive of many Republican nominees.

Garland was their first chance since then, so it doesn't happen often. Democratics over that same period have rejected three and approved 12 Republican nominations.

THEY took away the 2/3 majority and made it a simple majority for all nominations (except supreme court). That was a mistake in my opinion. The Republicans threw the final nail in in 2017 with adding SC nomi actions. So here we are. The democrats didn't bring us here....the Republicans didn't bring us here....they both did, operating in their own best interests got us to this point.

I can't find it anywhere. If we are a nation of laws, lets follow the law.
