    I'm sure the white supremacists and fascists are ecstatic right now.

    Yes, yes they are.

    Don't worry guys, Mitch said that appointing Supreme Court nominees during an election year was in bad taste and I'm sure we can trust the GOP to have the integrity to stand by their word.

    But what's the point of voting for Biden if I don't immediately get every checkmark on my progressive laundry list filled out day one?!

    But seriously I hope this is a wake-up call to the fence-sitters.

    RBG was quite right the main reason I was voting for Biden. I'm still gonna vote for him, but now I have no hope.

    I have never been as worried about the state of the future of this country as much as I am now.

    Well this will be interesting. They will appoint a justice before election, no doubt.

    Democrats need to pull every stalling tactic they can, pull the fucking fire alarms if they have to.

    If Republicans ram a new SC nominee through and Dems win the Presidency and the Senate back, then the SC must be expanded.

    And there goes the US.

    Why do you doubt? It's worth it to the GOP to lose the next decade of presidential elections if they can get this appointment, imo.

    What's actually stopping them from doing so?

    McConnel said he would, and he has the votes to do so. There's no way that they don't appoint the biggest fucking right wing nazi they can find to the court.

    I have no doubt that Trump will try to install a lackey to help him steal the election and get away with everything else.

    I expect republicans to go along with it and show no spine whatsoever.
