    anyone think that trump will (be forced to) nominate (by his much smarter team) someone in the middle or slightly left to try to snag up some of the undecided vote?
    Nope.

    There is no compromise there.  Itll be a holy roller huge government red meat guy.

    Also remember the court could very likely decide the contested election.

    They are going to snuff out the other side (a majority of the country is on the other side)

    No way they are going after Roe vs Wade! 
    trump is all about himself. he doesn't give two shits about his legacy or a conservative agenda. all he wants is power. and nominating a judge that goes down the middle might help him get some much needed undecided votes. or even conservative votes that vowed not to vote for him this time.

    you could very well be right. But the republicans would be giving the democrats a pretty big fucking gift by trying to nominate a new SCJ with 50 days left to the election. all you have to do is play the tape on a loop of mitch saying no nomination should happen in an election year.

    They are talking about this on CNN right now. I read that a few Repub senators said they will abstain from voting on a new justice. Mitt Romney was one of them.

    My only thread of hope right now.....  Repub senators in vulnerable seats this year may want nothing to do with a Supreme Court nom before the election.  However, if Biden wins they would likely try to push one through before inauguration.  If they do that I think dems need to play extreme hardball and then just simply add seats to the Supreme Court.  Would they have the balls?  Maybe not, and it won’t be good for the country either way.  It’ll be endless battles

    Collins, Romney, Murkowski all will vote no if it comes up before the election. Maybe a couple of others. Once the election is done however they have 2 months still to be able to vote a new justice in. They will do it then and worry about the ramifications down the road.

    No matter what side you’re on, you can’t deny her impact for women in this country and that this is a loss for the country.
    And for men too. In the early 1970s my dad’s cousin’s wife died in childbirth. She was a teacher and he was an artist. So she had a pension. At the time a widow could collect their husband’s pension but not the other way around. My dad’s cousin (my second cousin?) wanted to be a stay at home dad to the baby and Ruth Bader Ginsburg took his case to the Supreme Court and won and changed the law. Many years later when that baby (my third cousin?) got married RBG was already on the Supreme Court but kept in touch with the family all those years and officiated his wedding. 

    Wonderful story.  These are the things we need to remember.

    Yes he does.  They are all in.   They will hypocritically jam someone through. I don’t think they care about reelection if they can stack the court with another crook.  Justice Ted Cruz or Justice Tom Cotton. If any of these twerps lose their masters will reward them for jamming through a Supreme Court nom.  If they do get a dirty judge on the court before November the election is already over.

    Moscow Mitch has already put out a statement that he will bring Trumps nomination up for a Vote. Because the American people have spoken by electing a Republican majority to the senate to help support Donald Trumps presidency.   Even justifies how this is different from blocking Obama in an election year.   Everyone ready for the Fourth Reich?

    Even I am suprised how quickly he did this.  McSally wasted no time, either. Neither of them has a soul, of course. But I  thought they'd have waited until at least tomorrow.

    Right. They might as well be dancing on her grave. Zero compassion.
