He is generally "anti-woman". He'll use them as they grovel at his feet to "entertain" him and do his bidding (like Stefanik, Bondi, Noem, and Gabbard) and then will discard them, throwing them under the bus quickly.

They are worried about losing the Senate!! Maybe, just maybe we can increase to 13 after midterms? Really hope so!!

... for Barrack Obama, it's good enough for the sack of pig shit currently in the White House.

"I believe the overwhelming view of the Republican Conference in the Senate is that this nomination should not be filled, this vacancy should not be filled by this lame duck president," McConnell said.

That only works when THEY control the Senate. And since they DO, we are SOL.

... particularly since SCOTUS overwhelmingly votes against TACO with with Kavanaugh and Barret voting against TACO.

He has to do this soon, the Senate may well change hands in Nov.

and will give Alito (and Thomas if he doesn't choose to "die on the bench" instead, since he is that onery and stubborn) pardons for all their crimes. Easy peasy unlimited power.

Who doesn't seem to care much about upholding the Constitution. Not ONE more!

GOPers wanting his arrogant and smarmy ass out of the Senate and 45 giving a nod to the Cuban communities that supported him (Sotomayor is Puerto Rican).

And if this all happens after next November and we win the Senate, the Democratic Senators better block his nominees for the next two years.

Also, we just found out Swalwell's actions have been an open secret for years. You can't convince me there aren't a dozen republican Senators in the same position. Now would be a good time to twist some of their arms to vote with Democrats on this, Michael Corleone style. Pooh pooh the idea if you want, but since the alternative would be the demolition of the Supreme Court for a generation, we need to not be dainty in our sensibilities about this.

In most of our lifetimes. Electing a criminal moron that doesn't believe in our country's founding principles is a disgrace. Fuck every one of his voters. They have no excuse. Terrible people.

as it's just a simple majority for confirmation and recall how quick Comey-Barrett was nominated and confirmed (in a month).

That was done a week before the election when Democrats actually took back seats in the Senate and brought it to a "tie" (where we finally took control of the Committees due to having a (D) VP when Biden was elected, making her a "tie breaker" for votes),

Impeach the newly appointed justices or add seats to the supreme court.

...or just impeach the prez and vp then make Jeffries president.

Or all of the above?


Easy peasy

Although there aren't enough Senate seats up to do that much of a pickup with us needing to win 9 (R) seats for that scenario (and only ~1/3rd of the Senate is up each election cycle, with some who are obviously our own seats that we are defending).

Still we would need to win all but 2 or 3 of all the Senate seats up for election

Here is the breakdown - https://www.270towin.com/news/2025/01/03/introducing-2026-senate-interactive-map_1688.html



We are hoping to get 4 "competitive" (R) seats (ME, NC, IA, OH). There are 2 others that could add on (MT & AK).

We have 13 of the 33 that are (D)s.

I know some keep staring at TX but I don't think that is happening. Too much heartbreak after O'Rourke and Allred losses.

As long as it’s on a high road.

I mean with this circus yes of course there could be worse picks but in the end if either of those two retired the replacement would just be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The only reason Trump keeps floating this is because he wants to be able to say he appointed 5 or more judges to the court. If he gets both of them to retire at once then he's got his 5. The thing is both of those guys think they are the only thing standing in the way everyone in the US being required to change gender or some other MAGA fever dream.

Horses are forgiving and intelligent, and could care less about politics. Carrots on the other hand......

They'll try to ram it through before then.

Who has already appointed three could potentially appoint 2 more...5 nutjob justices by a reality show rapist pedophile.

Sounds like trivial propaganda to me.

You can sure buy him out of his seat. Just get one of your crooked billionaires to sell him 5 percent of a professional sports team with no money down and then buy it back for $60 million after he puts his paperwork in. It worked for George W. Bush when he needed money to steal the Presudency.
