You really think that between now and Nov 3. I can hardly believe that. And if true, how can anything be done in the 40 something days left. I believe the outcome of the election will decide who is appointed.Golden One said:Now Trump will be able to appoint a conservative justice who be a strict constitutionalist, thereby giving the court a very solid conservative majority.bearister said:

How many years before the end of Obama's second term would she have needed to retire, where the Republican Congress would "let" Obama make the choice? At least two, eh?

Pretty much yeah.

Socially moderate? Are you kidding. She was the most liberal justice, socially and fiscally on the entire Court. She might have been more moderate than Bernie, but not by much.OdontoBear66 said:
RIP RBG. Although socially moderate and fiscally conservative, I always found her to be one of the good ones in
DC. A total class act. You do not have to agree to respect. RIP

The only way the Democrats can stall this is if they get the help of rinos like Romney and Susan Collins.Big C said:sycasey said:

If the Democrats can't find a way to stall this until January 20, they should disband as a political party and go play in a sand box somewhere. Effing Antonin Scalia died on FEBRUARY 13, 2016 and Obama nominated Merrick Garland on MARCH 16th!

Zero chance someone is appointed before the election
I'd say it's more like 100%. although the Republicans are less monolithic than the Democrats. If 4 Republicans vote with the Democrats to stop a nomination, there will be no appointment beforebearlyamazing said:

Right. My mistake. I meant before January 2021.Big C said:Golden One said:I'd say it's more like 100%.bearlyamazing said:

100% for before he leaves office, for sure.
