That's what I learned in Civics Class. Do they even teach Civics anymore ? Maybe that is why people are so stupid about the Constitution. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cruz is nominated you lose one vote in the senate to approve. This one is gonna be really close anyway - that vote might make the difference. One idea I heard was Trey Gowdy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two who claim neither party. So...basically we have a five seat majority. Six if you include the Vice President's vote. This is going to be the the famous Louisiana purchase and Obama care. Both of the Republican senators from Alaska and Maine are going to be in great positions to demand something from the party for themselves or their state. This is all back room negotiations at this point. Edited September 21, 2020 by Historian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all back room negotiations at this point. As it stands there are 3-4 senators who have said they don't support pushing through a new SCJ (Romney, Collins, Murkowski (?), one other). So that advantage goes down to 3. Who knows who else will also go along with this. That does not mean they won't vote to APPROVE the justice necessarily. But I think Trump has said he will nominate a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they don't support it doesn't mean they won't vote for our lady. That being said: The Democrats are just pissed because of one thing. They did not get to replace Ginsberg. And we know they would be doing the same darn thing we are doing right NOW...if they were in power. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost her primary but mounted a massive write in campaign supported by all the Natives in the Bush that want free **** like they always get from a Democrat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The Democrats in the house can attempt to create all sorts of issues. And it's not likely to work. Make more states? Takes two thirds of the house to pass that one on the senate. They don't have two thirds. Not to mention the people who live will have to vote on joining a and their constitution accepted by our government. Add more justices? Not as long as the Republicans have a senate majority. They are really kind of stuck until they have the senate and the president. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Another thing i just thought of. We have seven Republican senators. If we lost four, who are running right now, all four....we'd still have a four vote majority. The Dems can scream and yell but even if Biden wins. We own the senate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I tried to be sorry when I heard of her passing, and I certainly feel some sympathy for her family, but I can't feel any sense of loss for the nation, in fact I think it is the close of a dark chapter where we allowed the courts to make some very evil decisions in the name of out country. Her legacy is hanging on well past the ability to function, trying to milk every last drop of power out of a position she far overplayed, loyal to her twisted ideals to the very bitter end. Her eternity is now in the hands of a just and righteous God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was very smart and provided an excellent counter balance to what many of us consider to be right and just. Without her, i think our argument for more liberty and conservative ways...would not have been as clearly correct. She was the anvil of the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
