Genuinely never heard of her

Honestly, being like 'BUT THE DEMOCRATS' is pointless. Republicans enforced a standard in 2016 that they themselves will not abide by in 2020. You can complain about the dems all you want but it's not gonna change the fact that the republicans are massive hypocrites.

You can call republicans names all you want but its not gonna change the fact that they are doing exactly what the progressives would of done if the roles were reversed. They would of blocked a republican nominee in 16 had they held a majority in the senate and they would of elected a progressive judge to fill the current open seat before the election. Republicans are gonna put another judge on the bench.
This is ginsbergs fault for not stepping down when obama asked her to. She gambled that she could outlast a republican controlled process and she and her party lost.

Yeah, **** her for dying! Good grief.... So, let me get this straight, the Republicans being dirty little lying hypocrites that can't abide by the standards they force on others is not their fault, it's the fault of a woman who died of cancer and the dems for not being as morally corrupt and opportunistic as the republicans... That's a lot of blame for the republican's actions to place at everyone's door BUT the republicans.

Your logic is..... fascinating....

Im not "blaming" her. I am pointing that she was offered an opportunity from Obama to step down and she rejected his offer. That is not an opinion, it is a fact.
She took a calculated political risk and her health failed her. Her time of passing has occurred with a republican president in office and a republican majority senate. That is the worst case scenerio for democrats.
You and others are complaining that its not fair and republicans are hypocrites. The fact is that it is completely fair. No rules are being broken.
Republicans and Democrats are both hypocrites. Its naive to believe that either party would of done anything differently in the same situation. They both play a win at all costs game.
I got news for you, you better worry about Breyers seat too because he is no spring chicken. Thomas may also retire if we have a republican president and senate.

Prior to Garland, republican presidents appointed judges if dems held the senate, and dem presidents appointed judges with republican senates.

It's not even a dem issue, republicans just decided to take a dump on precedent and started inventing their own rules and now they've decided that their own rules don't apply to them. Because you're a republican I can understand that you don't care (even though these things are cyclical and will come back around eventually), but to not even acknowledge reality doesn't make a lot of sense.

You're endorsing that politicians, people in power, act in bad faith, you treat this like it's a game in which you have to do anything to win and it's not. It's about securing human rights, it's not about winning or losing. If those in power act in bad faith, then they must pay the consequences because the decisions that the SC make are no joke.

If Republicans opposed the appointment of a new Judge in 2016 because it was an election year, they simply cannot change their minds because it now benefits them. When you enforce a standard upon others, you must also adhere to it.

I'm not naive, you have simply divorced yourself from your own sense of morality just so you can bend over backwards to exalt the republicans from blame. It's utterly ridiculous that anyone would support those in charge acting in such bad faith against the interests of the people and find it acceptable because it's 'their side' that benefits from it. Politics is not a game.

Well the White House has said that there won’t be time to do it before the election anyway

President Trump is picking a Lady for the Job.

To put an exclamation point on this conversation about hypocrisy. This season of BB usa we have 3 blacks on the show. 2 girls and 1 guy. The girls were approach about voting out the guy and they said they would not vote out someone who is black. I personally don't have a problem with that. They can vote on who they want for whatever reason they want but imagine the reaction if someone said they would not vote out a white person. There is no shortage of hypocrisy on either side. The selective outrage based on partisanship does not move me. Both sides are guilty of it and neither side has any room to complain about it when they get a taste of it back.

Ginsburg Supreme Court: Republicans secure vote for replacement


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54254141

Each side does what they have the political power to achieve. It's hardly surprising that the GoP want a new judge in their image when they have the power to see it through, the dems would do exactly the same in that position

Trump has now appointed
Was Live on the 2 News Channels

Amy Barrett as the New Supreme Court


She is a Strict Catholic.

https://news.sky.com/story/trump-nom...court-12082954

[Nicky91]

very strategic this from Trump, going for a woman


also he called her a very intellectual lady 4 times (i counted)


very predictable this aiming for women voters

[Nicky91]

but congrats on winning another term Trump (ugh you bought yourself another win)

[Tom4784]

Amy Barrett, who belongs to a religion (Read: cult) that believes women should be subservient to men and may, or may not, have inspired the Handmaid's Tale. She is also, like almost every other republican in existence, a rampaging hypocrite as she said in 2016 that a Supreme Court judge should not be appointed until after the election.

also that moment where Trump got boo'd at Ruth's memorial service

i don't think any previous u.s president had been boo'd that much

clinton was bood more at memorial services and abe lincoln

[Cherie]

Pretty sure Jie Biden is also a catholic, not sure why that has been dragged up in Amy’ case, it’s so close to the election this appointment should have been delayed

[bots]

She has to go through an approval process the same as Kavanaugh did. The dems need to be very careful how they approach this so that they don't alienate voters ... so things like religion, race, immigration, abortion are all going to be sticky topics

2 republican senators test positive for covid-19, potentially jeopardizing Barrett's confirmation vote
