President Trump said over the weekend that heIn 2016, Republicans argued that the decision to fill a Supreme Court vacancy should not be made during an election campaign. They should stand by that principle this time around, Booker said.
"They said that 269 days before an election," Booker said."We're 45 days before Election Day and the voting has already started. The question right now is will those Republican senators honor their word, and not cooperate with this push to get someone to floor and voted on?" Booker argued that Democrats need to focus on winning back the Senate and White House in November before thinking about the future of the Supreme Court. Some Democrats have called for potentially expanding the number of justices.including Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa. Trump has said he will appoint a woman.
Booker expressed his hope that some GOP senators will break with their party, as Collins, Murkowski and John McCain did in 2017 when they voted against"That issue and many others are at stake right now, and I'm hoping that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will realize that and wait until after the inauguration before we begin to consider a nominee from a president," Booker said.
Lmao, that sounds like something Spartacus would say.
We the citizens elected this President and this Senate, so proceed with a nomination.
Who cares, this guy is a complete joke. Loves big pharma cash tho
What else is Booker going to do? Work to slow things down by getting Barr impeached. No? Well, then thanks for your useless words.
They have no honor
Who cares. Save yourself lots of time. All the Dems who thought that Obama should be able to replace Scalia are now taking the opposite position and all the Republicans who said the next president should pick are also taking the opposite position. Hypocrisy abounds on both sides
Well they are not going to honor anything. They know they are done for a long time after this year and this is the last cling of power they will get in maybe,forever. All of the progress on civil and human rights will be back peddled until we reform the court,there is no choice.
And we should always listen to Spartacus.
Hmm, no.
AmyMcGrathKY has gained over 4k followers overnight. Her campaign has raised record numbers in response to the comments of senatemajldr after RBG death. Mcconnell cares more about himself then his constituents. Why are you still voting for him? Kentucky had suffered for it.
50+ days before the election that would seem the fair thing to do. But Republicans aren't about fairness or what's right. It's about power and ramming thru everything they can before their reign is over. Because it will be over. There is going to be a reckoning.
Who cares what Corey Booker thinks? Maybe T-bone?
No, no Dems have said McConnell was wrong and we don’t want to agree with positions held by Nazis
Key word: 'Should'
Why do you feed us with opinion on people instead of facts about hiw to actually makr change for all common us citizens. Petition laws for all gov and state employess get paid min wage retire at 65 or 60 phycologically tested.. Fired for dui or substance abuse includes drinking.
Should? Sure? Are going to? No, not at all.
That's how integrity works.
Stop trying to impede the President's duty according to the Constitution.
Of course thats what he said.
So?
Honor?
Honor? Their word? Really? We’re talking about Republicans in 2020. Those words have no meaning to them! disgrace
For too long Democrats have been naive. Dems need to roll up their sleeves and sling some fucking mud at every congressional republican. Do what you gotta do to win votes. Nice and polite no longer works.
Not
What a surprise, pretty stupid huh. You will need a full court to deliberate over the scenarios the Dems come up with over the election. H. Clinton sealed that with her conspiracy to not accept the results. The only reason libs want to wait is to encourage more voter turnout
But we know they won't and there's nothing the dems can do to stop them. They will pass it with a 51 majority vote with Pence brought in to break the tie if needed. We did this to ourselves. Stop saying 'Hypocrite' and starts doing something, dems. Jesus. We are all waiting.
I’m not clicking this, sorry.
I think that a plurality exists in America that doesn't give a damn about what Cory Booker thinks.
Wow 😳. Demo rats 🐀 Booker of New Jersey and Disgraceful dishonest corrupt politicians wasting our taxpayers money 💰
Who cares what he believes ? He’s an IDIOT.
The election has already begun. People are already voting. This surely must be deemed as interference in the election?
They are assuming that there will be more Senators after they are sworn into office. The alternative might be that lame duck Senators will vote with them and then go on high priced speaking tours.
They have no honor.
NOR is a leftist organization doing the work of the DNC. Defund them.
Wow. Breaking news 😂
Who cares. The Constitution matters, not progressives.
And in other shocking news, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.
Sweet dreams, mr Spartacus!!🤣🤣🤣
Also, I’m totally dating Rosario Dawson!!1!
Wow. That was a surprise.
Sounds reasonable
oh course he does!
Goodness, has Booker been talking to AOC? To nominate a Supreme Court justice two things are necessary. 1) The active President chooses 2) The Senate confirms Merrick Garland obviously did not have the Senate votes, Who can disagree with this last sentence?
Bye Bye Cory.
Let's go through all the Democrats. Get an article saying the exact same thing, ya?
They won't. Because integrity is for suckers and losers.
Trump is going to choose a woman to fill the seat. He said choose Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz should identify himself as a woman 😱
Wow. Breaking news. Unbelievable. No one thought of that.
And I believe we will have an appointment by year end....watch this Cory....
There's nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year,' Ginsburg said in a 2016 New York Times interview in which she called for Garland to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate.
Who cares what SenBooker thinks? We only care what the Constitution says.
Would the Dems give themselves the same logic if they had the same circumstances? Think hard on that one, the answer is pretty obvious
Why do Dems seem appalled every time republicans get dirty and grimy? They should Cory but Dey AIN’T!!!!! Stop being politically correct with unscrupulous politicians.
NoHonor The GOPChairwoman JudiciaryGOP SenateGOP have No honor they are just thieves!
What does the Constitution say?
No one cares, Spartacus
Of course he did ... 😲😒 Got to earn that 💵
'Their word' isn't even a damn rule, and they're accustomed to the likes of ignoring subpoenas. They won't lose a wink of sleep over this
SHOCKER
Uh. K. Thanks?
And if Trump wins, Booker will be the first one lined up to call the nominee a rapist, extreme, a threat to the Constitution yadda yadda. Sorry if I don't lose sleep over his opinion. Maybe instead of allowing the party to anoint Hillary in 2016, the could have ran a winner
BWAHAHAHA Spartacus looks a bit scared in this pic
GOP kicking ass. filltheseat Trump2020LandslideVictory KAG2020
Now that is truly shocking. A Democrat said that?
Of course he does...
With great respect, CoryBooker are you new here? And by here, meaning Govt, the US, earth?
Republican politicians = no moral, no principles, no worthy of the people’s trust, just con men like their master (meaning Putin’s puppet, Donald “deceiving” Trump)
But they won’t.
I’m shocked!
Republicans: OK, that’s nice.
So now the Dems think the Reps should play nice? So predictable!
Nice try, Cory, but the GOPComplicitTraitors don't know the meaning of the word 'honor.'
In today’s “No shit News”....
Neat
CoryBooker GOP has no concept of duty, honor or standards of conduct. they crave power and worship at its feet. expect nothing less. plan accordingly.
Duh.
NPR, are you serious asking Booker that question? Do you have at least 2 neurons firing?
Hard hitting journalism here.
THERE IS NO HONOR IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!
