    This isn't difficult. AOC just explained why it is absolutely essential for RBG's replacement to confirmed before November 3. Energy determines primaries and midterms. She thinks energy is going to determine elections this November. In a normal cycle, shear numbers determine Presidential elections and contested Congressional elections during Presidential election years. Yelling, firebombs, looting, and vandalism carry the day on the streets and those same terrorists may swing a primary or midterm, but they will be miniscule on election day. AOC won her first primary by receiving 60% of the 11.8% of Democrats who showed up. That would be nothing in most of the country --- couldn't carry the overall electorate.

    Yes, you must have. Perhaps CNN and MSNBC haven't covered it.

    If the senate majority is not of the same party as the president, the confirmation has to wait. If the senate majority is of the same party as the president, the confirmation occurs. It's pretty simple, actually - antifa rioting and arson, leftists melting down on twitter, AOC's calls for radicalization, and RGB's deathbed wishes have nothing to do with it.

    Sad that that the democrat's only hope here is POS Mitt Romney.

    You might recall that Reid and Obama nuked the Senate in order to stack the lower courts with radical leftist judges. As an aside, before Scalia died suspiciously, Obama amassed the worst record b4 the Supreme Court since Zachary Taylor. Scalia had to die because the lower court decisions were consistently overturned by the Supreme Court. No way should the Democrats have been given a backstop to protect the lousy decisions of Obama's lousy District and Appeals Court judges by giving them a SCOTUS majority. The Biden Rule gave McConnell the ammunition he needed to hold up the Garland disaster.

    "Radical" for a Democrat is the equivalent of using the powers at one's disposal like Republicans do. For example, if all of the roles were reversed, Republicans would have long since cut funding to the DOJ and every other Federal agency at the command of the White House. It's just understood that this is something Republicans would do...because they can. This would be considered "radical" to a Democrat. So the "radical" thing she's referring to is adding court seats to neutralize the three seats Trump will have filled.

    So basically you just don't want a democrat nominating Supreme Court justices. Can't you just say that instead of making some unlikely excuse about us waiting for the election to nominate the justice?

    I have had many discussions with many conservatives about this. In fact I had one with several of my family members. They never brought up this change of mind. Its almost as if they just changed their mind the day Ginsburg died. I just can't think of any good reason how her death could be connected to this change of opinion. I'm really trying hard to think here.

    Point is they are now using the threat of that violence in an attempt to intimidate the constitutional supreme court process. While they have been doing that all along, it's quite a jump from city riotsand intimidated spineless mayors to threatening the congress and supreme court system.

    Civilized people work out differences with civilized methods. Uncivilized people think like animals or spoiled children, and throw tantrums or get violent.
    Society at the moment is far too tolerant of uncivilized behavior. It is toxic and dangerous, as are the people behind it. They need to be taken off the playing field, by whatever means it requires- and that is up to them.

    When AOC says this moment in history should 'radicalize' dems, she means 'galvanize'.

    Let's not confuse the term as it has been applied to innocent kids being radicalized into jihadism, because that's the gist of the OP, as I understood it, and I found it offensive, not to mention the gratuitous use of disparaging words directed at AOC, which I think she doesn't deserve, and I can point to a number of videos that prove she is professional, and her grilling fat cats in business razor sharp, making them extremely uncomfortable.

    Hyperbole and disinformation/propaganda is the norm for republicans. It's rather nauseating and smart people aren't fooled but trump fans sure are.

    Civilized? Taken off the playing field, you say?

    Then you'd be perfectly fine with removing this uncivilized rabble-rouser from the playing field.

    The facts are the facts. Obama won in the District and Appeals Courts he stacked, but lost in the SCOTUS, many times with his own justices voting against him. Trump loses consistently in Obama's District and Appeals Courts and has a reasonable record in the SCOTUS. Read between the lines.

    It is only a question of power. If Republicans have the power to install the next Justice to the SC, they should do so. 100% of us know the Democratic Party would do exactly the same thing if they could.

    This won't radicalize anyone. What happens will not change even ONE vote in the election.

    As for riots? The only thing it takes to have a riot now is to call for one. The reason doesn't matter. Riots are fun. In riots they get to steal stuff, destroy stuff, act like pure juvenile dilenquents - and most of all act like the rich white spoiled college brats out of the suburbs most of them are.

    Absolutely, sad but ABSOLUTELY. I was struck when she was elected just how fast the "media" glommed onto her like she was the greatest thing since canned beer.

    Yes. I am having trouble getting some of my fellow conservative-minded posters to see it; but to me it amounts to the same sort of mindless support from the nation's media outlets that Barack Obama received . . . for no good reason at all. Barack had never done anything -- aside from spit on this nation via his Community Organizer background -- and had nothing meaningful going for him aside from a chic skin tone and melodious speaking voice and yet from the instant he became a U.S. senator media wonks were experimenting with legs tingles and Obamagasms.

    I see much the same thing in the way in which they indulge AOC no matter the insanities that routinely comes out of her mouth. I see the nation's media absolutely determined to spin and cover for her no matter what and I figure that they already have her slotted -- in their minds -- for a future presidential spot.

    ~ Isn't that obvious ? Of course conservatives do not want Democrats to pick SC Justices.

    Yeah, but she said 'radicalize'.

    Granted, she's dumb as a sack of stupid, but she's still responsible for her own choice of words.

    So when she says she needs to take a crap she really means she needs to take a pee.

    Nice contortion there. I'll give you points for effort.

    The Dems already have the Brown shirts rioting and looting in the streets...just how more radicalized can the Dems get their voters?

    RGB was actually quite concerned with the modern Dems....and their radical views...she was rightful very concerned with their actions...in particular what the Dem did to Kavenaugh

    Frankly, if voters want to honor RGB, vote these Dems out of power
