The obvious next step should be to wait until the next presidential election to choose a replacement so the people have a voice.

I think it takes 60 to send to floor. Dems should just say fuck you we are waiting for the next election

hahahaha hail satan

So much for the SC getting Trump to talk to Mueller.

51 votes to confirm. Just have to move out of Judiciary Committee. Senate is 50-49 because of McCain.

Several red state dems voted for Gorsuch so Trump will get to appoint some right wing nut job that will probably make Gorsuch look like RBG.

LOL But Her Emails.

This is why Republicans put up with trump. Party before country, everytime, all the time.

Yeah I just heard that. We are fucked

Mueller had better get that subpoena out now before Kennedy retires.

I put the blame squarely on non voting liberals who show us for women's marches and airport protests but decide to pass on the opportunity to cement justices that will protect their rights for decades.

I will say that this last week continues to reach new highs in frustration....

 

[JSt0rm]

elections have consequences. hahahahahahahahah

Welp, at least I'm rich and white and straight. Probably will have fairly little impact on me in the long run.

The joyous Trump supporters? Probably won't go as well for them.

At least until 2040 when whities are no longer the majority.

You're wrong.

Unfortunately, it's going to take probably 2 generations to fix much of this nonsense.

 

[TheVrolok]

What's sad, is that Trump really doesn't give a shit about what his judge does, nor the decisions he or she make. All that matters to Trump is that we will still be talking about him decades from now because of this.

I wish, unfortunately Mitch fixed that for the GOP after he held Merrick's seat hostage.

Dems no longer need a Blue Wave in Nov., They now need a Blue Tsunami.

oh they will figure out a why to make their vote worth more. White people can be violent psychopaths as can be seen through out all of history.

 

[zinfamous]

Maybe we will get to see The Mooch or Bannon being nominated for the seat?

Giuliani? lol.

Nope the Turtle did away with that. 50 votes only, VP can break a tie.
