President Trump’s aides prepared for months for a potential election-year Supreme Court replacement. Now they’re weighing other election considerations

fellow Republicans to move quickly in filling the seat. “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. “We have this obligation, without delay!”for his struggling reelection campaign, with the president under fire throughout the spring and summer for his coronavirus response and struggling economy.

But some conservative groups could object based on what they see as Lagoa’s insufficient record on abortion, the ultimate litmus test issue on the right. One prominent GOP senator, Josh Hawley of Missouri, has already said he would only vote for a nominee who has affirmed that Roe v. Wade was “wrongly decided.”

Of the three women, Lagoa had the easiest and most bipartisan confirmation hearing. The Senate confirmed her by 80-15 compared to 55-43 for Barrett and 53-44 for Rushing. “I don’t know that there will be much travel into or out of the White House for interviews,” said the Senate GOP aide. “But even though it can all be done virtually, the president did say he liked [Justice Neil] Gorsuch’s look when he met with him, so who truly knows.”

I don’t want to hear it from Democrats after trying to ruin Kavanaugh’s life. They aren’t owed any favors from Republicans from all the things they pulled these past 4 years. Trump is picking the SCOTUS and they’re going have to sit and take it

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just passed. For many Americans, the death was so troubling that “No. No. No.” trended on Twitter But for Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), the death was apparently an opportunity to raise campaign cash, according to Iowa Starting Line Vote Theresa Greenfield

Trump is less trusted than Putin and Xi. US hits historic lows of approval from closest allies. US ratings dropped from 48% in 2016 (Obama/Biden) to 30% in 2017 (Trump). Germany had a rating of 44%. People have less confidence in Trump than Putin & Xi.

Just dug up this clip of Obama in 2016: 'When there is a vacancy on the SCOTUS, the President is to nominate someone, the Senate is to consider that nomination... There's no unwritten law that says that it can only be done on off-years. That's not in the Constitution text.'
