1. Very very bad news...

[Ex Lurker]

3. If necessary we're getting close to the time when we could run out the clock

on any nomination.

[RhodeIslandOne]

5. What time is that?

They will fill that seat on New Years Eve if they have to. Vile scum.

[FBaggins]

20. How?

Not sure there are many procedural options that would survive the McConnell wrecking ball if it comes to it.

[hlthe2b]

8. Don't go there. She obviously has fight in her and countless millions of us rooting for her.

That has to count for something.

RBG

[Demovictory9]

11. Exactly

[bdamomma]

33. She's a tough

woman, lets send her healing powers. Get well Justice Ginsburg

[Eliot Rosewater]

17. Sure, but I hate for her to be in any discomfort at all...She is such a hero and patriot.

Take any random 4 million republicans, combine them and their parents and grandparents which is what, 12 million people, she is smarter and a better person than all of them combined.

2. Get well soon RBG !

[Thekaspervote]

4. Be well Justice Ginsberg..sending thoughts of healing your way

[BKDem]

6. No fucking nominee three months before an election!

Not after Merrick Garland! No fucking way!

[OnDoutside]

7. Democrats have no say in that

[BKDem]

9. Will we be allowed to take to the streets?

[StarfishSaver]

13. Whose permission do you need?

[BKDem]

15. OnDOutside says Dems will have no say in this matter

That answer doesn’t work for me.

[StarfishSaver]

16. They're right that the Democratic senators won't have a say

[BKDem]

21. Yes, I know. But that doesn't mean we have to sit down and shut up about it.

[StarfishSaver]

26. I don't think that's what they were saying

The context of the discussion, at least as I read it, was about what would happen in the Senate.

[FBaggins]

25. And he already has his pick lined up

Here’s hoping we never have to find out

[OnDoutside]

31. You won't have a say either !!!

McConnell would ram this through, and the fact they would be replacing a librul like RBG would give a big boost to republican senate races.

[BKDem]

32. You actually sound happy about it.

[OnDoutside]

36. I had a mask on when I wrote it so you couldn't tell.

Actually, it was exasperation rather than happiness. Did the Republican slamming through of Kavanaugh not indicate how currently helpless Democrats are in the Senate ? There were plenty of protests against that too, which got nowhere either. If an SC position became available before Nov 3rd, the GOP would use it as a bargaining chip with the US electorate. If it was after the election they would still ram it through anyway.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

24. McConnell wouldn't give a fuck if people marched till the cows came home.

In fact, it would probably encourage him.

[BKDem]

28. The world hasn't really been going McConnell's way lately, has it?

Poor, poor Mitch. It would be a goddamn shame if he lost his job.

[OnDoutside]

30. Exactly, in fact it would probably reinvigorate Republicans.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

19. Yeah. Sure.

Mitch would push through a Trump nominee 20 minutes before the new Senate was to take over if he had to.

[Hekate]

10. Hang in there notorious RBG!

[imanamerican63]

12. ......

[helpisontheway]

14. Shit..Please hang in there RBG! Praying for you! 🙏🏽Nt

[samnsara]

18. she is getting the BEST care!!!

[demtenjeep]

22. GOD we can't lose her now

that fuckhead does not get ANY MORE judges

[demtenjeep]

23. GOD we can't lose her now

that fuckhead does not get ANY MORE judges

[smirkymonkey]

27. No! Please stay well, RBG!

Not only for our sake, but for yourself and the sake of your family as well.

[cbdo2007]

29. Please don't let Barr visit her in the hospital!!

[Poiuyt]

34. We should have someone standing guard outside the hospital

[Polybius]

35. I'm not convinced that she even retires in the next 4 years

She's very tough. Might be 2025.

[OnDoutside]

37. As long as Democrats control the White House and Senate, it's all cool.
