Wait until democrats gain the majority in the Senate and win the White House. They'll introduce legislation (and pass it) to expand the number of SCOTUS justices by 3 or 4 and then Biden will fill the seats.

Talk about heads exploding. :D

Key words.... Wait until.

Then the next time the GOP has the Senate and Presidency they will just go ahead and expand the number again. So there!

They will be a push to do that regardless of filling the now open seat.  That is why the talk of waiting now is BS and why you can’t trust the other party in today’s politics.  Do you take this opportunity if presented?

Well, Democrats wanting to pack the Supreme Court Isn’t without precedence, is it?  FDR is smiling in his grave.

Yep. They have been talking about it for years. They shot the hostage before the FBI negotiator even arrived.

Nothing in the constitution about the size of the Supreme Court. FDR got rebuked by his own party who had a super majority.

Pretty fun legislation to read about, his own people were rather blunt about how they felt about it.

You both are correct.  My bad.

How's the meltdown going? Lolololololorotflmaorotlfmao.  The way I see it one more Trump nominee should put the brakes on the far left b.s. in this country for at least another 10 years.

Likely looking at a lame duck session confirmation. 

There is a curveball to this.  Since Arizona’s senate race is a special election, they can seat their senator by Nov 30th.  If McSally loses (which right now is likely to happen), it would give the Rs less margin of error.

So I would expect an attempt made between Nov 4th and nov 29th.

Worship the orange god and praise the creed of hypocrisy.

 

2016, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.” 

2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”

2016, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”

2016, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”

2016, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.” 

2016, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”

2016, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.” 

2016, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”

2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”

2016, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”

2016, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
Mitch McConnell, March 2016
