    Maybe next time Democrats won’t let a fossil serve 10 years past her expiration date?

    The court is already meaningless with a 6-3 super majority.
    You don’t have to be down, it is already done.

    As for Republicans being back in control, all Democrats have to to is add a state — or two — and implement the Wyoming rule in the House.

    It’s not meaningless at all, its serving the purpose it was designed to.

    Packing it however will make it meaningless. Dems lost this round, if they wish to destroy America with their division, the ball is in their court.

    And believe what you wish, Repubicans will be back in power be it this election, or one after. That will happen regardless, at some point. It cant be stopped.

    I’m down.

    ahhhh if not a majority certainly a plurality support it.

    "Despite the contentious circumstances of her quick nomination, polls show that confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court is generally popular with voters.

    But it isn’t necessarily resulting in a benefit for President Donald Trump, whose campaign saw the vacancy on the court as a chance to reset next month’s presidential race.

    A new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows that a slight majority of voters, 51 percent, think the Senate should vote to confirm her nomination, far greater than the 28 percent who say the Senate should vote not to confirm her. A little more than 2 in 10 voters, 21 percent, don’t have an opinion about Barrett’s nomination."

    Do you really believe the Democrats will never be in charge of the Senate and Presidency again?

    The Dems have not voted on qualifications since Bork. I don't have to wonder about why so much hate and division I've seen the Democrats engaged in it for decades.

    Not force. Ask her why she thinks it’s responsible to serve when you’re sick half the time and frankly too damn old to be working? Retire gracefully. It’s a disservice to herself and a disservice to the country. If an upper 80 yr old can do the job, it frankly isn’t difficult or demanding enough.

    It’s not false, its true. YOu may not want to accept that truth but it remains true regardless. Dems have driven us to the point where our number one enemies are seen as each other. That wouldn’t happen if they didnt accuse people of every racist nonsense they feel they can get away with and instead engage in reasonable debate.

    It will almost certainly get bloody, and it is objectively because of democrats attacking everyone unreasonably.

    Whats dumb, is to believe this isn’t true.

    It isn't really a 6-3 super majority since you never know which side the Chief Justice might come down on on any given day

    It’s aways been political. Dems changed the rules now they have to deal with it.

    America won this round, by beating the angry, hatefu dems who think they are a racist good for nothing’s. This is a big win for everyone but dems.

    Repubicans saw what they are against, and acted accordingly. And almost certainly continue to do so as dems get more radical.

    I’m down to deal with the reality of the situation, and that is dems are getting radical and violent. Violence is coming regardless if we want it or not unless dems contro their emotions. I will survive and thrive regardless. I’d prefer peace, but i have no doubt dems are arming up for war.

    No clue, it was a question not a prognostication.
    We might have an answer in 8 days.

    IT does actually. It’s an objective fact, which is why I believe it.

    The example I provided was simply the reality that dems irrational attacks on people who disagree with him, calling them nazis and what not is exacty why we are here.

    You can disagree, but you are wrong.

    I am really glad to see her confirmed, because she is a Constitutionalist. She's not a Conservative, she's not a Liberal, she's a Constitutionalist and I am disgusted when I hear partisan talking heads arguing about Left/Right when it comes to Supreme Court Justices.

    Who said no today?

    And you wonder why there is so much hate and division. Dems really need to look in the mirror.

    Too much hate, I find it distasteful and quite naziesque. Shameful.

    Just following the rules from Mc Connell. Yet you follow a side that continues to be the part of hate and division.

    A 6-3 or 5-4 ruling doesn’t change the outcome. When the court always comes down to a final ruling based on ideology that isn’t what was intended.

    What does “attempt fate” mean?

    You must have missed the last few groups arrested for violence or attempted violence, it hasn’t been Republicans.
    I agree with you though, violence is comming — it will likely start comming to ha\e

    It’s aways been about ideology. There is no way you can have a ruling not based on ideology.

    It’s working as intended unti dems pack it. Then they destroy it and America with them.
