Three Things To Remember When The Democrats Start Whining About Trump's Supreme Court Appointment
RIP Ruth Ginsburg bla bla bla...1. Ginsburg was asked by Democrats to step down when Obama was in office so they could ensure she would be replaced by another liberal. She refused. So now President Trump gets to pick a conservative instead of Obama picking a liberal. Thank you Ms. Ginsburg. You did not die in vain! And I have to give you credit where credit is due, your timing is brilliant.
2. The Democrats eliminated the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees while Obama was in office. They thought they were being really clever even though they were warned by the Republicans not to do it because it would come back to bite them. Guess what? It came back to bite them. Now, thanks to the Democrats, President Trump and the Republicans can exercise their constitutional right to appoint a new Supreme Court Justice any time they want and the Democrats are powerless to stop it. Nice work Democrats! You shot yourselves in the foot!
3. What do you suppose Chuck Schumer would do if he was in the same position as Mitch McConnell now and there was a Democrat in the White House? Would he be saying "For the good of the country we need to wait and let the next president pick the replacement for Ginsburg?" YEAH RIGHT!
The Democrats have NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES and their stupid attempts to destroy the democratic process for this appointment. They made their bed and now they will have to lie in it. They NEVER seem to learn their lesson. LIBERALISM, SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM DO NOT WORK!
You can't destroy the democratic process and then demand democracy when things don't go your way. It doesn't work like that.
President Donald J. Trump: Record three Supreme Court Justice appointments in his first term! He beat the Democrats like a rented mule at their own game.

I still believe this is the way it should be, but fair is fair, right? Besides, I have no worries that Trump will be re-elected, and he will nominate someone for it. Besides, there's not enough time for hearings for that nominate before the year ends anyway.
Here's a list of four to choose from that I know of.
On The Don's side -
It's widely presumed Amy Coney-Barrett (ACB) is on deck to be The Don's next SCOTUS pick.
A Look At Judge Amy Coney Barrett ...
The prospect of ACB replacing RGB will energize Values Voters (Pro-Lifers) like nothing else could.
It'll bring 'em to the polls in Droves.
Ironically, RGB may've clinched The Don's re-election.
NO one can Ever explain to me Why she didn't resign in '17 to let Barry O nominate her successor. ... confused
Imagine removing RBG from the Far Left and putting ACB on the Far Right with Justice Thomas ...
The Don's legacy - in the form of Trump Court Rulings & Precedents - will Easily extend the effects of his Presidency Well Past mid-Century.
The plot thickens.
...
I don't know whether this is some kind of stupid joke or just one more Democrat line of BS, but either way... see #1 in the OP.
She would have no one to blame but herself!
McConnell tweeted...
“Americans re-elected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary,” Mr. McConnell said in a statement issued not long after news of Justice Ginsburg’s death became public. “Once again, we will keep our promise. President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

DOA. There is nothing that can be questioned.
Look it up.

Obama in 2016: ‘There’s No Unwritten Law’ that Says Filling Vacant SCOTUS Seats Can Only Be Done on Off-Years
‘When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the President of the United States is to nominate someone’

‘There’s No Unwritten Law’ that Says Filling Vacant SCOTUS Seats Can Only Be Done on Off-Years
‘When there is a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the President of the United States is to nominate someone’
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., on Sunday declared Republicans in the Senate are following the “Joe Biden rule” that allows a vote on a new Supreme Court nominee ahead of an imminent presidential election.
In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press,” Barrasso quoted Biden when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1980s and 1990s.
“In 2016 …we were following the Joe Biden rule,” Barrasso said of GOP senators’ resistance to then-President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy left by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
“When there is a Senate of one party and the White House of another, and a Supreme Court vacancy, we will not confirm,” he quoted the Biden rule as saying.
“Twenty-nine times there have been vacancies” when both the Senate and White House are from one party and “they go forward.”
President Donald Trump’s aim to nominate a successor for the seat left vacant by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death “is completely consistent with precedent,” Barrasso declared.
When host Chuck Todd remarked it “sounds like a power grab,” Barrasso batted back.
“When you have both parties in the White House and Senate, historically the confirmation goes forward and that’s what’s going to happen here,” he declared.
“When you have both parties in the White House and Senate, historically the confirmation goes forward and that’s what’s going to happen here,” he declared.
Biden won't even reveal his list of candidates of U.S. Supreme Court nominees. A lot of voters won't like his list of people on it, and even he (Biden) knows that.
The names proposed by the DNC are vetted by the CCP, so it's taking a while.
