Neither Trump nor congressional Democrats wasted time Saturday drawing battle lines around the upcoming fight, and using it to excite their voters.
"We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices," Trump tweeted Saturday."We have this obligation, without delay!" Republican strategist Scott Jennings said he is of two minds on how the Supreme Court issue will affect Trump's chances for reelection.
"The Trump campaign pivoted to the economy this week and they are now off that message and on dealing with this new matter," he said,"which is essentially a debate over abortion.""In our most recent battleground polling of the voters Democrats most need to mobilize to vote, we asked about Joe Biden's ability to appoint judges to the Supreme Court," said Josh Schwerin, of Priorities USA Action, a political action committee that supports Democratic candidates.
The Senate seats considered most likely to flip are in Colorado and Arizona – each held by a Republican – and a Democratic-controlled seat in Alabama. Other closely watched contests are in Maine, North Carolina, Georgia, Montana and South Carolina – all currently held by Republicans – and a Democratic-held seat in Michigan.The race most likely to be influenced by Ginsburg’s death is in Maine, where Republican incumbent Susan Collins is trailing Democrat Sara Gideon.
Yeah they held it up because they could! They controlled the Senate. It still didn’t stop Dem/Libs from crying and whining their nominee deserved to be appointed! Now they say the Repub nominee doesn’t! That’s just as hypocritical!!Had roles been reversed in 2016 Dems would block
FillTheSeat
They blatantly said a new appointment shouldn’t happen in an election year, and now.... very very shady but welcome to the filthy state of politics
In other words a bunch of old white guys screwed over a black man but now they kowtow to an old white ahole
They can
Just going by Barack and Joe's own words...that is what you want right
That should not happen. It is not fair..they do not hold themselves to the same standards they apply to the dems. Double standards and unethical is all that it is.. all should unite and ensure this does not happen.
No other was impeached in a election year fuck it get em in now
.... and? You think a Dem controlled Senate would be different how?
That jus' da way it go sometime meathead. Trump2020Landslide
It’s called politics... get over it!
How about that eh?
Stop lying to yourself. They can do it in a week if they really want to.
Constitution doesn’t say the president and senate need to wait till after election. And let’s be clear democrats would do it immediately— F your feelings!
And you think the Democrats dont play politics too if so you are very naive to say the least
IOW, exactly what Democrats would do if roles were reversed.
Maybe it's because the liberals and progressives had their way for decades and decades. The results SUCK!
Obama was a lame duck President. Trump is not. There is your difference.
To better answer your question bwaymike
President and Senate are same party. This is how it’s been done since 1880. The law is clear.😭😢😭😢😭😢😩
Cool story... you can throw your fits all the way through confirmation while we point and laugh.
Republicans controlled the Senate at the time. It is nothing other than that.
Maybe its because of the mess we are in with the liberals, Democrats, ANTIFA, BLM, haters, and Portland being where lazy educated 'young people go to retire'?
Trump is an incumbent, obama was done. The democrats screwed up with SCOTUS back during the Bush admin when they filibustered his appointment of Estrada. Then they went nuclear and pumped the circuit courts full of hard liberals. Greed.
And this deceased Justice, who you show here, actually said publicly, there is nothing in the Constitution that says it shouldn't be allowed ...
Is anyone surprised by this? Anyone at all?
This disgusts me. The pissing contest between both parties need to stop...both parties are making it about the party and not the people.
Of course they will because they don't understand the concepts of Honor and 'I give you my word'. McConnell and Lindsey Graham and others like him are simply disgusting human beings.
Well that makes commonsense!
Durrrr... It's politics. The DNC demanded the GOP allow the process in 2016 & now are demanding the process wait until after the election.
Because the Republicans were in control why would they want to put the other guys pick on the court
Why not and drive the final nail in the Republican's coffin, except the Republican base who 👏👏👏, but there's not enough of you and you've driven off all honorable people, first with Trump, and now this, so enjoy your fun but Nov 3 coming, then 2022, 2024, and keep going!🤣😂
The GOP didn’t even hold hearings in 2016. Do better USA Today
Republicans had the Senate. Republicans have the Senate now.
It's because they're hypocrites and power hungry garbage people.
