Supreme Court vacancy

Amen ,Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for this mess . They sold their souls to the Devil in backing trump and in the process might have destroyed the republican party.

You are amening to something Mooby didn't say. The post you responded to said nothing about solely blaming Republicans. Both sides got us to where we are right now.

Disclaimer - What the Republicans did with Garland was bush league. Going 10 months without a SC justice is dumb.

And they were too pathetic to put him up for a vote, so every Senate member had to put their name on it. Took the cowardly way out.

So I can see why Democrats are against ACB. Has nothing to do with her at all, at least I don't think so, she seems pretty impressive.

Trump had every right to fill that seat. And by that standard, Obama absolutely had the right to nominate Garland.

This is an opinion piece. But it's from the WSJ. I think 99% of us hold them as a credible organization and this carries at least a bit more weight than the average opinion piece.

I admit I have never followed the judicial appointment procedures as close as I should have, so a lot of this is new info to me. If anyone posts an article about the same issue from a different perspective I'll read it.

WSJ is tricky. I literally was able to read the whole article, then it brought up subscribing, after I was already done reading. I don't have a subscription to WSJ. I assumed that article was free. Ignore my link. My apologies.

The article was basically about Harry Reid changing the rules to get some local DC judges appointed, and McConnell told him it would not work out well. I don't even like Turtle. And not trying to justify any action by anyone after that. That was the just the jist of the article. Basically was a piece about the state we're in now, slanted more towards blaming the left a little more than the right. And that is why I offered that I would read any article from the other perspective.

Edit - Posting a WSJ article is like posting an NFL.com mock draft article. No one actually gets to read it.

Apparently the SCOTUS declined to hear a case re whether Pennsylvania ballots received up to 3 days after the election should be counted. It appears the PA Governor (D) requested a 3 day extension bc of COVID. State republicans challenged saying under the PA constitution only the legislature can change State election laws.

But it appears the SCOTUS could very well be asked to decide after the election.
For now, PA officials will keep any ballots rec'd after election day separate.

large edit by me, I was wrong on most of my thoughts .... more information has come to my attention man

I thought the US Constitution gives States the power to decide how to run the elections in their State, but apparently the US Constitution gives "state legislatures" that power not "states".
