@zahlanzi saidI thought they changed the filibuster rules recently so that filibusters cannot be used to prevent a confirmation vote.
Can senate democrats filibuster the vote until Biden is sworn in?
Not sure on this, though. No.1?

@lemondrop saidNothing, the Seante majority leader is on record with that statement:
sad news
I don't know what the nomination process is a month or so from an election
The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” McConnell said,
He wouldn't be lying like his buddy, would he? Conseravtives would rally him out very soon if they caught him standing neither to the truth no to his explained principles.

@mghrn55 saida lot of people are in prison for the killing of the “unborn” if you want to talk about laws.
The statement is not proven because it is false.
Babies are not killed if they haven't been born yet.
Like Mott so strenuously pointed out in another thread, the US is a land of laws.
If a pregnant women is killed it counts as two.

@ponderable saidthe situation is a lot different now. Due to democrats trying to use judges to control our election process (now the usps too) the scotus will most likely decide the next US president.

@Mott-The-Hoople
Well if Trump is so well loved as he claims to be and is the best president ever there will be just a landslide victory and no need for any hast.
If you actually think that is is proper not to accept the result and help your guy on the chair by a skewed court, well we know about the quality anyway.

@ponderable saidI think No1 called it, Bitch McConnell will push another misogynistic scumbag onto the bench by January giving the Dems the moral justification for cancelling it and Trumps other placements out by expanding SCOTUS with liberals.

@ponderable saidas evidenced by judges taking control of the USPS and dem governors extending vote result time lines by weeks, yes I think foul play is to be expected.

@mott-the-hoople saidClearly they will have to win the senate but if the Republicans do what they are threatening to do after saying what they said about the pre election nominations in 2016 it’s a fore gone conclusion.

Or
This is the America that most Americans want and so be it.

@mott-the-hoople saidOr better phrased......taking control of the USPS away from the Trump campaign.
