1. Waiting for everyone's light bulb to go off, some of us have said

that the majority of GOP are racists, terrorist and will be murderers if necessary.

That they have no respect AT all for justice, constitution or whatever.

John McCain, yes, patriot...but not many more

Mitt Romney too, patriot. Wrong as hell about everything, but willing to put country first.

2. No. There is the law and nothing else.

Moscow Mitch will say and do anything for power.

On a related note this is why I favor removing the filibuster completely. It is a false sense of security. If Democrats keep it out of a sense of history and decorum. Moscow Mitch will absolutely remove it the second it is worth it for him to do so.

Also not sure you would want to go to the SC right now with 5 right wing thugs, 1 moderate, and 2 liberals.

3. "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," Schumer said in a tweet.

Schumer's tweet comes less than an hour after news broke that Ginsburg had died Friday at 87, throwing a landmine into an already chaotic presidential election year.

Schumer's tweet is a word-for-word copy of a statement Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) released in 2016 after the election-year death of the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

4. Senate rules are made by the Senate.

The court has nothing to do with that.

6. No, if you ask mcturtle, it only applies when the senate is controlled by the opposite party

Because his only "principle" is whatever gets him his way.
