Late last year, to absolutely no one’s surprise, McConnell was asked at a conservative conference if he would confirm a new justice if one were to pass or retire in the final months of Trump’s term (indirectly referencing the ‘doctrine’ McConnell created to steal a seat from Obama) and — with a snide grin — he said something to the effect of “you bet I would”.RBG has asked posthumously not to replace her until a new president is in place. I hope Moscow Mitch is listening.
When Scalia died he requested the American votes must decide.
It really is — one we all feared would come to pass but were desperately hoping we would be wrong.Well this is a fucking nightmare.

Trump will probably release a short list tomorrow ****ing morning.
This might seem minor to people not interested in American politics and current events — which obviously excludes everyone in this thread — but how this plays out could genuinely set the course of not just American history, but the direction of the world.There’s a hell of a lot of emotional release on MSNBC. Joy Reid and Chris Hayes now are doing well keeping it together whilst their guests are all in shock. Both in grief and with the fear of what’s to come.
Oh and Moscow Mitch has just said he’ll follow the guidance of the president. The frog faced Moscow cock sucking ****.
Biden’s campaign will have to use the vacancy and it could put Roe v Wade top of the election agenda.This might seem minor to people not interested in American politics and current events — which obviously excludes everyone in this thread — but how this plays out could genuinely set the course of not just American history, but the direction of the world.
This is a potential domino drop.
Yep. There are so many possible implications, all of which have potentially drastic impacts on the course of the next few months and beyond.Biden’s campaign will have to use the vacancy and it could put Roe v Wade top of the election agenda.
