[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is important to remember the long game here.  The Republicans in the Senate demonstrated a total lack of principle in 2016 by refusing to allow Democrats to fill the Scalia seat.  Every single Republican senator was on board, and a number of them are up for re-election for the first time since then and can be held accountable at the ballot box. Trump now is just doing his job by vetting, interviewing, and sending up a nominee to the Senate.  He was not a senator in 2016 or even an elected official.  McConnell would likewise be doing his job now (unlike then) by scheduling a vote as soon as he can.  What happened in the past is over.  There is a good chance that the Republican overreach will help Biden secure the electoral votes he needs to win (just look at the fundraising gains) and turn the Senate to Democrats, but Democrats must be careful to keep their powder dry!  While it may feel good to protest, it would be counterproductive to overreact and take to the streets when a nominee is announced and/or pressure senators outside of official channels during the hearings.  There needs to be some decorum or there could be a backlash against Democrats that will help Trump and Republicans in November.  [/quote]

Amy Barret is a fringe religious zealot with views on women's rights and gun rights that put most of the GOP to shame. It would be a travesty for our country to have someone with such extreme views and perspective on the court. [/quote]
