Big difference here...which of course HipKat doesn't know is that it's the same party here in 2020. Judges have been nominated since the 1800's when this is the case. Also, six lame duck presidents have appointed Supreme Court Justice's.

Given the state of the country and how Dems have also said they will challenge the election results...there needs to be 9 judges if it gets to that point, so the Dems basically have made their bed on this issue.

Let the chaos resume!

Here’s what Senate Republicans said when Obama tried to confirm a Supreme Court judge in an election year

Senate Republicans may be forced to eat their own words four years after they blocked Barack Obama from filling a vacant supreme court seat in an election. The circumstances are the same — only the years, the names and the sides have changed.

In February of 2016, conservative legal giant Justice Antonin Scalia, died, leaving a space on the Supreme Court. The process is relatively straightforward: The sitting president nominates a qualified candidate, and the Senate votes to confirm with a simple majority.

But just hours after Scalia’s death, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would block any such move. It was an election year, he said; the American people should have a voice in deciding who should sit on the court, and the appointment should wait until after the election. Senate Republicans joined with him in blocking the appointment.

It was an unprecedented decision, a new principle, that sparked an almighty political battle in Washington. In the end, Mitch McConnell got his way, and Merrick Garland, the moderate candidate nominated by Barack Obama, did not take a seat on the court. Instead, Donald Trump nominated and confirmed Neil Gorsuch.

Four years later, and the tables are turned. Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday aged 87, leaving a space on the Supreme Court to be filled. Her death comes much closer to the election, just six weeks away.

The Republican-controlled senate now has the power to confirm a justice nominated by the current president, Donald Trump. But to do so, many would have to directly contradict their own 2016 position.

Here is what Republicans said in 2016 about appointing Supreme Court justices in an election year:

“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.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell, 13 February 2016.

“This nomination will be determined by whoever wins the presidency in the polls.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), 23 February 2016.

“This is the last year of a lame-duck, and if Ted Cruz or Donald Trump get to be president, they’ve all asked us not to confirm or take up a selection by president Obama. So if a vacancy occurs in their last year, of their first term, guess what, you will use their words against them. You will use their words against them. I want you to use my words against me. If there is a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said ‘let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination,’ and you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right.” — Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-SC) 10 March, 2016

“I'll tell you this, if an opening comes in President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we will wait until the next election.” — Lindsey Graham (R-SC), 3 October, 2018 .

“We have a unique opportunity for the American people to have a voice in the direction of the Supreme Court. Our side believes very strongly that the people deserve to be heard, and they should be allowed to decide, through their vote for the next president, the type of person who should be on the Supreme Court.” — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), 7 April, 2016.

“The president [Obama] exercised his unquestioned authority under the constitution, to nominate someone to this vacancy. But that same constitution reserves to the United States senate, and the United States senate alone, the right to either grant or withhold consent to that nominee.”  — Sen. John Cornyn, (R-Texas). 16 March, 2016.

“Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.” — Ted Cruz (R-Texas) 13 February, 2016.

“It has been 80 years since the Senate has confirmed any judicial vacancy for the Supreme Court that occurred during a presidential election and the Republican majority in the Senate last year announced before Merrick Garland was nominated, before anyone was nominated, that we were going to keep this seat open and let the American people decide.” — Ted Cruz, (R-Texas) 31 January, 2016.

Who cares what those Rhinos said or didn't say?  Not I.

It was Obama's right and duty to select a Justice.  Review the record; I never said it wasn't his right or that he shouldn't.  But I am glad that he did not. 

However, his abdication should not set a precedent.  And don't think he did that for free.  There was a shady quid pro quo deal behind the scenes. 

And it was this systemic corruption that left his legacy as 'stray coke cans swept away by the toxic waters of a condemned beach'.

We have an opportunity for our Greatest Living President to replace the death-worshipping godlessness of a truly evil human being with something better.

He'll appoint someone you don't like.  You won't have the mental facility or communicative skills to reasonably express your opinion, but you will not like the candidate.

And you'll have to take it, there is nothing you can do.  For four more years.

Anytime the embodiment of evil totalitarianism (cloaked under the amorphous term of 'Social Justice') leaves our mortal coil we should rejoice.

We should also heed the quiet lesson of how a mind, sharper than many of our own, can be squandered.  She dedicated her wasted life to increasing the weight of the governmental chains that bind us.

Big whoop.  Politicians say and do whatever benefits them or their party at the time.  Waiting until the next term no longer benefits them, so now a replacement justice will be nominated.  Anyone who expected someone in the senate to keep their word set themselves up for disappointment.

That is some serious denial, right there. Precedence is what sets the standards. McConnell set the precedence. To go against it makes him not only indefensible, but a hypocrite, to boot.  Not to mention, not only is it an election year with so much on the line, the incumbent still is an impeached President. It goes against the best thing for the country to let an impeached President with a record of corruption, less than 2 months from an election be allowed to pick a new SCOTUS Judge.

Not that I care which way a SCOTUS nominee leans, since both of his nominees haven't really toed the Conservative line, but the effect of adding another Conservative is possibly a lynch pin that could move Conservatives on the fence back towards Trump in November.

I've been right here pointing out your hypocrisy to you and every other MAGAT that can actually read.  The only ones getting played are you MAGATs who think fatfuck does anything other than what benefits him.  He will be gone sooner or later and it will be amusing to watch you whine when the Ds shove two new Supremes down your throat. That is, if they can squeeze them past trumps balls which are lodged firmly down there.

Just my two cents.  I wouldn't expect the Dems to do anything different if the tables were turned.

Hypocrisy? 

pretend that Hillary won in 2016 and Clarence Thomas died yesterday. Would Hillary nominate and would senate majority leader Chuck Schumer push through a nomination? 

We all know the answer to the above.

Here's What RBG Said About Filling a SCOTUS Vacancy in an Election Year

As the debate over what to do about the vacancy on the Supreme Court is only getting started, perhaps we should heed the advice of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself as to what to do.

When a similar scenario occurred four years ago, following the death of Antonin Scalia, the Republican-controlled Senate blocked Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. It was a controversial move, and Ginsburg had something to say about it:  Ginsburg publicly called on the Senate to go through with the nomination.

“That’s their job,” she said in July 2016. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.”

“Eight is not a good number for a collegial body that sometimes disagrees,” Ginsburg said on the issue a few months later during an event at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was with her, agreed. “I think we hope there will be nine as quickly as possible.”

“What we do is we automatically affirm the decision of the court below. No opinion is written, no reasons are given, and the affirmance has no precedential value,” Ginsburg explained. “It’s just as though we denied review.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) made the same argument was made Friday night, though he added that since the 2020 election results are expected to be contested, an eight-member Court poses a potential constitutional crisis.

“Democrats and Joe Biden have made clear they intend to challenge this election. They intend to fight the legitimacy of the election. As you know, Hillary Clinton has told Joe Biden ‘under no circumstances should you concede, you should challenge this election.’ And we cannot have Election Day come and go with a 4-4 Court,” Cruz told Sean Hannity on Friday. “A 4-4 Court that is equally divided cannot decide anything. And I think we risk a constitutional crisis if we do not have a nine-justice Supreme Court, particularly when there is such a risk of … a contested election.”

Unfortunately for the Left, their revered Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made the case for Trump to nominate, and for the Senate to confirm, her own replacement back in 2016. You can point to the words of politicians who adjust their views to accommodate their desired political ends, and great, there’s plenty of that to go around on both sides, but are the same people mourning the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to say that she was wrong?

 

 

This is fucking war.  ALL WEPONS AT THE READY. 

The democrats have changed things to their advantage so many times and accused the other side of exactly what they do with no reference back to their actions.  RBG can't dictate from the grave and we really don't care what her last hypocritical wish was.  Whomever owns the Senate dictates the game and the only reason to back off is for fear of political reprisals in elections.  The weapons are locked loaded and pointed.    Fire.
