It just occurred to me that those are not only the words to a song from "The Wizard of Oz", but also names of Hostess snack cake products. Does that make Chuck Schumer a Twinkie?
After Kevin McCarthy threatened to call a vote to remove Pelosi as speaker, she decided that it would not be wise to pursue another impeachment. The flying monkeys are fed up with her crap.

Want to know who is almost a full decade older than Nasty Nan from San Fran?
Dianne Feinstein.
She's 87 years old. Same as Ginsburg.
Want to know who the Dems have to rely on in the Senate to help lead their upcoming battle on the Judiciary Committee against the President's SCOTUS nominee?
The lefty blogs are buzzing with their angst and worry that old "DiFi" is woefully inept for this. She's way past her "sell by date".
That pretty much leaves "Spartacus" Booker and "Heels Up" Harris to reprise their Kavanaugh performances as the "attack dogs" and I think it's unlikely that Harris is going to do much to stir the sh*t bucket too much for herself this close to November.

I am willing to bet that Heels up is going to go "full retard" (from the movie Tropic Thunder). She has no interviews and needs attention. She has to feel the pressure of not being able to tell her side of the story and campaign for herself. This nomination (job interview) is going to be a campaign stage,...don't rule out anything. She needs to make an impact on the voters.
"The Senate Democrats put the alleged last wish of Ginsburg, as told by her granddaughter, into the resolution. She allegedly told her granddaughter that she wanted the next president to choose her successor. The implication from that remark is clear – she expected Joe Biden to win the presidential election and she wanted Biden to put another liberal Democrat on the court, not a conservative as President Trump will do."
The left wants us to honor her last wish, as if they had an ounce of integrity. The want us to believe that her last wish was that Biden appoint the next justice, as if they had an ounce of honesty.
We should honor the constitution and if she was true to her calling, that would be her wish.

Yes. We follow the Constitution.
Pointedly, the United States Constitution does NOT provide for any Supreme Court Justice to appoint their own successor, nor does it provide for any Justice to name WHO will appoint their successor.
Ginsburg's alleged last with wish is exactly that.....a wish......(as well as alleged).
"If wishes were horses beggars....Demorats would ride"

if fishes were wishes we would all have poles Unless they recorded her last wish and its documented with witnesses I don't believe any of it. I also do not care. Trump has his duty to the country and one of those is to start the process of filling her chair.

A dying "last wish" has no consequence for the departed, only for the living and I don't believe we agree with Justice Ginsburg. As Justice Ginsburg said in 2016, the President is elected for four years, not three. He has the same powers for the entire term. Her death left an opening that the President has the constitutional authority to nominate a replacement to. It's the Senate's job to "Advise and Consent" to that appointment.
Since the Republicans control the Senate and the White House, they get who they want. The Pendulum swings both ways and it's been on the left side for a long time.
Don't try telling me the Dems wouldn't be doing the same thing if they controlled those two institutions.
It's a done deal, Dems need to focus on the General Election. They can't do squat about SCOTUS.
My biggest regret is that the Dems didn't offer a better candidate for both President and VP. One can't find his way home by himself and the other is a freaking Liberal. Was that too harsh? I am frequently embarrassed to tell folks I'm a registered Democrat but, they forgive me when I tell them I'm also a Conservative.

As I mentioned before, Justice Breyer is 82 years old. The oldest Justice on the court and he could easily retire of die during a Trump 2nd term.
If anyone thought that the left was upset about the President's 3rd nomination, you can bet that they will absolutely panic at the thought of a 4th nomination.
We should find out who the next SCOUS will be in a few hours
Let's get ready for more senseless violence. This round of government sponsored riots is sent to you by the dnc and will be a battle cry till Trump is reelected.

I think it would be cool to have a Barrett in the Supreme Court.
I think it would be cool to see an actual conservative on the Court and not Trumps typical center left nominees. I would like to see the democrats actually have something to complain about.

As long as the trigger-pull isn’t based on imaginary voices in ones head...isn’t she a bit of a “religious nut”?
“Letting God fix it” isn’t exactly a plan of action...more like a convenient way to explain away the lack of actually solving problems in a way that doesn’t require magical hand-holding.
Bringing religion into decision-making is like pouring the last of your water out based on the closeness of the mirage a voice in your head told was just up ahead...

Boon your comment is hateful and senseless. You are the one who brings up religion as a tool in this thread. Her being of faith has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with anything in you comments. The only reason her faith is mentioned by democrats and media is because her (possible) anti-abortion views. For the record lots of people believe abortion is wrong and bringing faith up as an argument against her is hypocritical. Both biden and pelosi are Catholic and the democrats are ok wth that. And lots of people who claim to be of faith support abortion,... obviously. Your ranting has no place in politics either, I have never heard anyone of faith say they deal with politics and policies as you described. Do you enjoy insulting people for their faith? You never seem to skip a chance at disrespecting and belittling people for believing in God.

Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987 and since that time has changed his party affiliation five times. In 1999, Trump changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, Trump changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, Trump again returned to the Republican Party.[4]
In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat," explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." In a July 2015 interview, Trump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that "I identify with some things as a Democrat."
In any case, he's not the "savior of the right wing" that many people think he is.
Amy Barrett seems to be pretty right-wing. That does not, however, mean we can trust Donald Trump to consistently nominate right-wing judges. Considering how often his own political affiliation has changed, you can expect him to vacillate on judicial nominations, as well.

Just my opinion but, I consider most folks who always vote a straight ticket to have consumed too much of that particular flavor of Kool Aid. As long as he selects a Constitutionalist, I'm going to be satisfied for the most part. I'd prefer a Centrist or a right leaning jurist but, the important thing is to follow the Constitution. Not to try an write laws. There will be decisions I don't agree with but, that's the way the cookie crumbles. President Trump is not the Savior of the Right but, he has done a commendable job the last three plus years of protecting America and putting America first.
