Realistically, there is almost no chance it will be overturned or vacated. Too much cultural inertia is behind it, and it would have to work it's way up through the Circuit and Appeals courts first to even reach SCOTUS. The whole 'repeal RvW' is pretty much a red herring used to try and scare...

Nice, some Cheba Chews, or Dixie Elixers? And yeah, with Congress term limits are actually rather popular across the political spectrum. With SCOTUS it's probably not widely supported, changing a very big part of our judicial system.

This just feels like them trying to change the rules of the game, because they weren't winning under the old rules. I think there is widespread support for terms limits in Congress; in SCOTUS...no idea. I'm very suspicious of the timing and motive behind this, as I'd never heard it put forth...

So, this is an interesting play.

Yeah, my bet is that Biden finds a way to dodge doing any debates. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to see the Joe Rogan moderated debate happen.

It very much seems like that is what is going to happen. McConnell and others aren't going to let the Dems pull another circus like they did with Kavanaugh, not when they think they have the votes to get a floor vote through already.

McConnell says they have the votes, and that's why they are moving forward. They likely had expected Romney to vote against them, and figured that into the math. If Romney votes with them, he will likely do so because he wants to keep his office, and Utah is not a place that wants more Liberal...

I long for the day politics becomes sane again, and people are able to accomplish functional compromises that don't leave everyone happy, but do keep the radicals on both sides from being able to weild significant power. But that won't happen anytime soon, and definitely won't happen till...

So now we get to see if it's ACB, or Loboa (?), get the nom. Personally I think Loboa is the better choice, as she will help anchor the Cuban American vote and understands the threat the Far-Left represents.

There is a reason I've said we need a Constitutional Convention, at minimum, to start the healing. I'm not happy we are at this point, please understand that. I am just being real about how I see things. But with the CCPs involvement with the Dems, and the media playing along, while cities...

Biden first used this rule, it wasn't used again till 2016, and it was a different circumstance. The truth you don't seem to want to grasp is the day Obama decided to not peacefully transfer power to Trump, and initiated Crossfire Hurricane, was the day our republic went on life support. This...

Why, because they are done being 'graceful losers'? This election may well end up in SCOTUS, and you think they should leave that seat vacant, instead of filling the seat? Do you want Trump to lose by leaving that seat open, just so you can seem 'principled'? And too top it all off, Trump...

The GOP wouldn't be destroying any norms nominating someone before the election. What happened in 2016 is because Biden did the same thing before. Those instances were aberrations, not the norm.

Mitch has spoken:

It is also true that it is perfectly legal for Trump to nominate and try to get one through before then. Maybe he fails, maybe not, but just sitting on it...maybe it will motivate the base, maybe it will backfire. I didn't like it when it was done before, and if it becomes precedent...

You have a point, but a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. After everything the Dems have done, they don't get to cry hypocrisy if Trump gets one through before Nov 3rd. Not after the Russia hoax, Crossfire Hurricane (breaking the peaceful transition of power), and the 'peaceful protestor'...

Nov 3rd, not 7th. And he has a majority in the Senate, so he could push one through if he can keep any other Senators beside Romney from defecting.

No wonder he posted his SCOTUS list not too long ago.

Well, the stakes have just gone up. Maybe Trump can get a pick through before Nov. 3rd, and add that to his polling numbers.
