Filling this seat is worth more than the 2020 election. The GOP can lock up SCOTUS for a generation if we play our cards right.


I'm going to keep repeating this. That's not how this is supposed to work!

What’s with the GOP obsession with Catholics on the court?


Pro-life stuff?


Catholic Church’s obsession with sex and with controlling women’s bodies.


Not fair. MANY MANY of us are just as D as you. This is R v. D, not Catholic v. something else.


+1. My whole family is Catholic and they're all Democrats. And my FIL is on the parish council at his Catholic church and he's also a hardcore Democrat. Catholics and Eastern Orthodox tend to vote D.


NP. Curious - how do you reconcile being pro-choice with being Catholic?

I don’t like this. Again the evangelicals will ignore a incumbent standing over 200,000 dead Americans if it gets them a SCOTUS seat.

They are obviously just going to confirm in lame duck. They can’t confirm now bc they probs don’t have the votes and keeping it open is a good rallying call. But win or lose, they’ll just confirm in lame duck and call it a day.

Who was that? Those words... those words don’t sound like Trump at all so who the heck was that?


There’s no way that was a spontaneous, sincere reaction. He knew and was prepped on how to respond.

He’s been anticipating it all week. No one recalls that out nowhere he put forward a list of his twenty SCOTUS nominees last week out of the blue? He was told she was on her deathbed before the public and acted on it like the grim reaper he is.

Well, unless Biden gets over 300 EC votes, expect the Nov 3rd election to be judicially contested with all sorts of militias intimidating EC voters and whatnot.


What if Trump gets over 300 EC votes?

We’ll know he rigged it, because that’s a crazy town suggestion.

Then he gets to pick the next SC Justice. Fair, right?
