You claim i am defending the republicans because I favor them. I generally do view them as the lesser of two evils but that has nothing to do with I am defending them. I am defending them because they are not breaking any rules. I may or may not like the judge they appoint, i dont like the last 2, but they have the power and the right to nominate whoever they want. If democrats think its unfair they should of made a rule in congress that prevents it. Don't forget it was harry reid who ended the filibuster rule for judges when he was the democrats leader of the senate. If that rule were in place the democrats could of blocked not just this next nomination but the 2 previous ones as well. Democrats didn't like having their judicial nominations blocked. They didn't want to negotiate with the other side so they changed it to a simple majority vote and now they are reaping what they sowed.
Rest assured republicans are gonna find themselves in the wrong side of this rule someday too. I will be equally unsympathetic to them too.

Of course they aren't fighting for me, I'm not american.

There's no logic in saying that the Republicans are the lesser of two evils when you have Mitch McConnell voting down measures to prevent outside influence (IE Russia) with the election, choosing to vote down Covid relief in favour of making more judge appointments etc, how can you say Republicans are the lesser of two evils when Trump has committed endless crimes whilst in office and had all but one of the republicans clear him for it?

Answer me this, how can you say that the republicans are the lesser of two evils when it's been the republicans politicising and underplaying the pandemic to the tune of over 200,000 deaths? How about the human rights abuses going on at the border? Obama introduced a law that gave the authorities the power to seperate immigrant children at the border from their guardians if they suspected abuse and/or trafficking. This power was not used much at all during Obama's administration, yet the Trump administration used it as justification for their cruelty by splitting up thousands of families and leaving children to die in cells they shouldn't have been in. The republicans have basically allowed concentration camps to pop up along the border yet they are the lesser of two evils, in your eyes?!

I advise you spend less time watching Fox News.

Ginsburg Supreme Court: Republicans secure vote for replacement

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.

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.

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

[bitontheslide]

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
