I don't know who this Neal guy is, but he must not read the news, the internet, or watch TV. If he did he wouldn't even waste his breath saying that he feels it would be inappropriate.

The Republicans are a bunch of low down dirty dogs. There is no name or thing low enough to describe them. Everything they do is inappropriate. So you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be filling that seat with a Trump nominee ASAP.

Guess Democrats will get well deserved civics lesson The threats only show their support4 ANTIFA & fascist methods If they can’t win by the rules they change them $ by any means possible Give a one handed salute to the Party You have became what you hate Projection exemplified

We see what you’re doing. Keeping the seat vacant so you can rig an election and we can’t contest it.

Really? What about former president Obama?

No president would wait until after an election. The Democratic Party is officially a joke.

If it’s inappropriate, Trump is all for it.

It’s inappropriate to spy on a presidential campaign but Dems do it.

Tell the complete truth: In 2016 it was a republican Senate majority as well as today. Republicans have every right to do so, they have the votes you don't. Get over it!

GOPHypocrisy NotoriousRBG MoscowMitchMcTreason MoscowMitchTraitor

And they are reminded of that daily with today's Presidency dibocle.

Rule of law and Republicans don’t seem to go together these days. GOP GOP senatemajldr dnc

Too bad that MoscowBitch senatemajldr is a traitor to the American people and will do whatever he can to ram through another unqualified sewer rat onto the Court. All that means is that come 2021 the new Democratic administration has to impeach this person and Kavanaugh

Difference was Obama was exiting the WhiteHouse, and had an opposing Republican. Now we have an Incumbent POTUS with a SenateGOP HUGE difference. Quit trying to say it’s not.

LynnetteEndean Senator Moscow Mitch McConnell says F**K YOU, and gives the American people the middle finger just hours after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. MoscowMitch

But he was nominated. So yes he should nominate

McConnell has 4+ decades of pressure on his shoulders, far right efforts to dominate the courts, make rule-by-the-minority viable. He's been staging this since Obama admin. R history expects him to finish the job. He is a man devoid of honor, conscience. Eye on the prize. Power.

It was Obama who held off nominating someone for SC; it was Schumer who agreed and McConnell said we should wait. However, none of that is in the Constitution, it was a handshake agreement. If Trump nominates someone then the Senate must follow through constitutionally yea or na.

As voters we elect a President for four years and he is in office to serve our nation till their term is complete.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH PMSNBC TRUMP2020 TRUMP2024

Suck it.

He Republicans will not show the respect to the people or to the election... they will once again use Trumple to unbalance the SCOTUS, because it’ll be their last chance for a power grab before we Vote Them Crooked Bastards Out 🤨

senatemajldr said he would and he will.. They've been doing all this illegal s**t SINCE day one and nothing REAL has been done to stop the 3 Stooges. So we'll be slapped in the face with this too. Hopeless. realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC BillBarr MitchMustGo

For one thing, it would be a huge conflict of interest for him to appoint someone days before the election, who will potentially need to rule on election related matters involving Trump.

You people have trashed President Trump 24/7 since even before his Presidency. Trump has had to deal with treasonous scum trying to oust him this whole time and now you think Trump and Republicans owe you a favor Keep smokin what you all are smokin

But remember, they are all about inappropriate.

After all, do you remember the Russia, Russia Russia collusion impeachment hoax?

In 2016, the people gave us a divided government. Now, they have given us a president and Senate from the same party. That's the difference. President Trump should move immediately to nominate a successor.

How ironic it would be that the most Corrupt White-Collar criminal in USA, would get to put 3 SCOTUS judges on the bench with the help of a Corrupt Senate leader. We are the world’s latest Shithole Country.

As if trump and his lackeys would care is 'inappropriate' stop thinking 'he can't' he will, and he will do it like the many things we thought he could not

I support republicans filling the seat with Trump’s nominee... Merick Garland

The Republicans should not even consider 2016, except what the Obama/Biden administration was doing to Donald Trump. They should remember Bork, Thomas, and Cavanaugh. Do not back down!

I only hope and pray, that Ruth Ginsberg is comfortable enough up there to take a quick break this soon, and oversee this nomination process and orchestrate some legal maneuverings the likes of which McConnell has never seen, and drive that troll back underground.

Who cares about the opinion of an Obama puppet?

Too bad!!

TheDemocrats STILL haven't figured out how to deal with GOP & continue to be bamboozled like the Stimulus Bill Dems passed thinking MoscowMitchTraitor would come around on the next bill! He reversed his promise NEXT DAY Progressives keep sulking/don't vote, like U did in 2016!

Cry more lib

They clearly do not like Obama whatsoever it honestly comical that they try to push a justice through like this.

Are you saying tit 4 tat, it does not work that way. It is not Mitch's problem that the Dems did not fight to get a vote for Obama's SCOTUS nomination. It's called politics and it's a nasty game. Like Nancy holding up virus relief for people who could use $1,500.00 stimulus $$

Neal means blue...shows his colours

The unnerving thing about happenings like this is really not what the republicans are going to do because we all know that. It's being forced to watch them do it and to see and be reminded, yet again, that they truly are the absolute offal of humanity, every last one of them.

Stop. The fake news. Misinformation. Stop all this hate. Please. Please. Let the woman rest In peace.

If🐘s can just wait until Obamas out of office to install their pawns who don't support the majority of the country views, DEMS CAN TOO & SHOULD.

What this reveals is that the Republicans are trying to stack the US Supreme Court in the favor of their interests and the interests of their wealthy donors. The Republicans do not give a darn about the public interest.

If this happened on October 31 republicans would still get someone nominated 😬

It’s totally ok. Constitutional

Who is Neal Katyal?

Tzaddik-

He should not do that, but he will.

Your experts appear to be ill informed. Back in 2016, Obama wasn't going to be on the ballot and he didn't have the Senate. In this current situation, President Trump IS on the ballot AND has the Senate. With MSNBC & DEMS promising chaos thru the election, you need a full bench.

The Republicans had a majority then and now. You know damn well if Schumer had the majority he'd be licking his chops.

The only way ANY repub can win or get their way is to cheat or commit a crime. They are ALL immoral and self-centered. They really don't care about anyone else. The world and history will not look kindly upon them.

😭in Rumps world all he does is inappropriate !!!!!

We keep pressing on. The court is sad. But not as important as 200K dead because of Trump. Don’t forget please.

Use political understanding why would either party when they have the power to fill a Seat on the high court every not act on it. Conversely in the Garland case why should the GOP have even considered the nomination of a Justice totally opposed politically to ideology . Use logic

When the left tells Biden not to concede, & it goes to court, it is appropriate!

I would normally agree but considering all the Russia crap that Dems pushed the entire presidency, gloves are off!

lol but it’s 100% constitutionally legal so who cares what you think

Personally, if Dems take back the Senate, tgen they seriously need to reform the SCOTUS. Impeach if necessary, especially Kavanaugh and his corrupt ilk! Remove lifelong membership, remove political appointments and leave the judiciary select from experience!

kendisgibson That was very good detail on the Mourner's Kaddish, but you totally mangled the word. The accent goes on the first syllable. That is not the kind of word to mispronounce, but still good information that is very appreciated by the Jewish community.

Democrat senators should be prepared to walk out on any such hearings. Simply not participate, don't respond to any letters, don't appear, don't meet with any candidate. We can start from there. This should be made clear to McConnell now.

DEMS have gone after President Trump for 4 years. It was 100% inappropriate to do what you’ve done! I hope he moves immediately to replace her and succeeds in his efforts!

We need a full Scotus. No way should we go into what could be a hotly contested election without a tiebreaker.

They did not give him the courtesy of appointments.

The reason Garland wasn’t pushed thru by the Dems is because Obama lost the Senate to the Republicans and they knew there was no way they could get him approved. Different circumstances for Ginsburg. Remember, as Obama said, elections have consequences. God has intervened.

What is a Neal Katyal?

Don’t forget the disgusting display by democrats, and perjured testimony during the Kavanaugh hearings by a Stanford professor and supposed “victim.” God’s will, or karma if you are a democrat.

eduardt_s 'It would be inappropriate' is literally the signal for Trump and the GOP to jump up and get things done.

That’s ridiculous. President Trump should nominate someone immediately. We need a full court.

- This man is a dirty f**king snake. No ethics. No integrity. No class whatsoever. If justice/karma exists then his demise will be an excruciating one. 🤮 mcconnellisdeplorable

Another Obama era acting solicitor General. Why do you keep wheeling this guy out? Nobody cares what he thinks…

...says the completely disinterested person who would be a frontrunner for a Supreme Court seat during a Biden Administration.

This woman RBG is no saint. She has the blood of millions of babies on her hands through streamlined and government funded murder called abortion. AbortionIsMurder she also was instrumental in removing choice from the man and baby involved in these murders. Crocodiletears

Who knew that both political parties are ran with complete self interest by people who would lie about anything to try and hold as much power as possible. A system where a reason the public vote is to control the courts is clearly not a very good system in the first place.

Sucks being a Canuck schooling Americans on their own history really.

Yeah the mcconnell rule is actually the biden rule and only applied if the senate and potus were of different parties.

I think Barbara lagoa would be a good pick👍

This is why you need to control the Senate if you want to approve/disapprove SC nominations. It’s literally their constitutional right.

Don't give a damn what Kaytal says or any other Political Left hack. It's time to put the Corrupt Socialist/ Communist party in its place- they have been lying, cheating and now trying to steal the election once again as they tried in 2016.

They can TRY. Americans won't accept it. We will protest. Only MAGATS will go along with whatever he does. trump has no idea what the hell he is doing, and trumpSupporters don't understand anything about the political process. Just like him. A perfect match! trumpIsALoser

we know neal_katyal is neither ethical nor competent on the law, but left wing law professors disagree with him

Im losing sleep over this shit. Im sorry. There's a lot of fuck shit going on and this is 100% one of them. Im pouring out for 2020. rest in peace

Nope, Americans want him to seat someone before the election. Nice try, dems. Sore losers.

Don’t care trump will nominate. Too bad sour grapes

So. You shouldn't have be so against this President and the majority that voted him in. Put a new justice in before the election. President Trump nominates and senate approves.

Seriously, put the shoe on the other foot, what would happen? The left has been hijacking our judicial system for decades and are making laws instead of interpreting them. This has to stop. Learn from RBG and know that all of your foes are not enemies. Sadly, they won't get it.

Who cares about appropriateness? Was it appropriate to accuse Kavanaugh of all unfounded allegations?

Basically say, oh well, we'll just put on another 2 more as soon as we flip the Senate and take the white house

There are no Republicans (maybe Romney). It's the Trump Party am extreme white nationalist autocratic party. When will people learn

Ou contraire... Trump must nominate one

If anyone has anything disrespectful to say about her, you are showing your true colors and we see you! Nothing but respect for this honorable Justice. Rest easy madam. Your country appreciates all you years of service. 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Unfortunately he is chopping at the bit to appoint someone as quickly as he can. Mitch will push this through if he can. 🤨

'Inappropriate' is Trump's middle name.

Thisn kind of pretend naivete is exactly why the gop never face any penalty for their dirty politics

It will ruin his re-election bid if he does realDonaldTrump

When my coworker passed, our employer had to fill that position as soon as possible. I’m pretty sure most employers are like that. My condolences. That position still needs to be filled soon.
