This has nothing to do with the Democrats other than the clear hypocrisy the Republicans are once again showing about their screwing Obama out of his SCOTUS pick. Whatever happens is on the Republicans.
The Democrats need to concentrate first on winning #1 the House, #2 Biden winning the POTUS, and #3 Democrats getting a majority in the Senate before they are able to do anything. Any talk about what the Democrats should do besides doing their jobs responsibly before those 3 is just trolling IMO.
Giving Trump and the Republicans what they want, the ability to talk about ANYTHING other than the complete mess Trump and the Republicans have made of our nation and it's laws over the last 4 years. Seriously is it surprising that Trump's cult is complete hypocrites? Of course not. They want this appointment to take up as much oxygen as possible between now and November.

I have changed my mind on being open to changing the number of SCOTII though.
Fuck em. They've already stacked the court.
we would have to discontinue 'norms and decorum' mindset and that's up to pelosi..wtf happened to our pandemic UI money? every month it's another 1M and they're not even talking about.
about biden..i'm a little pissed to hear 'the people won't stand for it' comment..the people? are you fuckiing kidding? 'the people' have one (1) vote which turns into (3) three, if you're rural. thank you joe for the message about how you'll 'fight' for health and prescriptions cost reduction- he needs a new narrative and quick. he should also take his mask off when he's speaking to the camera too with no one else around; people need to see your mouth move (seriously).
i'm disappointed with Romney's position; i was holding out for him to do the right thing like he did with impeach which made no difference but this vote could actually make a difference in joining Collins and Murkowski.

I actually heard someone talking about how Mitch and the republicans (especially Ted Cruz) took it upon themselves to change the number of judges on the SCOTUS to 8 for almost a year, and Cruz went as far as to say he would make sure that if Clinton won, she would not be able to appoint any judges for her 4 years. Meaning without any constitutional power to do so, a handful of Republicans decided to change the number of judges seated. So yeah I agree Fuck it, the Republicans cheated the system, I can see upping the number to 11 being a good thing as a response to their clear theft of Obama's pick.
I can see it might not be something in the next 2 years since there is so many messes to clean up after Trump there might not be time (even if the Democrats win the POTUS and Senate). I don't know enough about how long it would take to pass everything needed along with all Biden's appointments, covid and economic relief packages, shoring up Obamacare, dealing with immigration reform, etc.
It is a bummer. Anything that the Democrats decide to do if they win and take power in DC in 2021 is on the Republican's double standards.
when this place is blown sky high they can sit there and say 'we went high'..norms and decorum need to go.

Shows you how well your democratic institutions are holding up to the assault of 40% of the population, a totally corrupt political party and a fascist wannabe king. This is Civil war 2, the only thing that compares is the civil war, this one happens to be a cold war though, the cause is the same, human rights for African Americans. Another similarity that CW2 has to CW1 is the number of casualties. America's original sin is still haunting it and will continue to, though the ghost of Dixie might be banished to the attic.
On the other hand, Trump is acting like Sherman did in the CW1, he has shattered the solid south and destroyed the republican party moving forward. Reconstruction will look quite different this time around...

IMHO This is a one sided Issue on the Republican's part, and Bugeye did Merrick Garland get the Seat he should have on the Supreme Court ?
See that's the difference The Republican's don't care and the followers don't either, That's the sad thing, You Don't CARE !!
Can you explain why it's the same that a sitting President can't put a Pick up while there's 8 months left to do so ? But yet This Clown that Did not win the Popular Vote of all American's don't mean shit to most Republican's. He's Seated 2 SCOTUS already does he really need another pick ? Just curious what your opinion is on that and why.
Two sets of Rules for the Republican's and they live by it.
This is putting Party before the People loud and clear.

What none of them are considering is the absolute slaughter that's going to take place once Joe and Kamala take office.
It's going to take them about 9 months I think to get everyone in place. Then, the investigations, hearings, indictments, impeachments and career ending revalations will flow.
It's going to be gruesome.

They put Russia ahead of America, what do you expect? Trump committed 2 nd degree mass murder and they support it. They are trying to disenfranchise millions of Americans and remove their human rights, this is merely par for the course.

Seth Meyers Unloads on “Shameless” GOP Over Supreme Court Hypocrisy — Vanity Fair
“Their bad faith justifications were obvious bullshit back then, and their bad faith reversals are obvious bullshit now,” the Late Night host said as Republicans pushed to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the bench.

It amazes me that a Congress that wouldn’t fight to get support to the American people in a time of crisis can ram through Supreme Court justices with the greatest efficiency.

The troll in the room though is that you are acting like the Democrats should not throw this in the faces of the Republicans. Especially because they are completely ignoring a dying woman last wish and completely showing themselves as full of shit for their 2016 withholding of our first Black...
