With Republicans breaking Senate rules at will, Democrats should do the same if they win the Senate.

[dalton99a]

That's all.

1. Yup - McConnell's rules now.

Reptilicans can sit down and shut up.

[Claustrum]

2. Yes. I was against adding justices before the day of RGB's death.

But as soon as it happened, I knew the republicans will break every rules and everything they said in 2016. Just go ahead and unpack the court when we get a trifecta. You would get no backlash from this moderate. Matter of fact, you will get backlash from me if you don't. I am sure there has quite a lot of people in a similar situation as me.

3. DEMs must operate under the rules and protocols Repukes used, as Pelosi is.

After 4 years of that, they may be willing to accept discuss mutual respect. But, if they ever get control again, they will go back to oppressing DEMs.

4. I want the democrats to REMOVE Barrett from the supreme court immediately upon taking back

White House and Senate. They need to make a whole new rule to get rid of last-minute, unvetted justices in the middle of an election.

On second thought, they just need to get rid of really weird, extremely strange people appointed by republicans, no matter what position they were put in. That should rid us of some of the other attorneys approved by the republicans.

7. This. She is illegitimate.

[BComplex]

10. She's totally illegitimate, and whats more, SHE KNOWS IT!! And she doesn't care.

She's already said that she won't say she would recuse herself if the election goes to the supreme court.

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Then Kavanagh needs to go, too. nt

[BComplex]

18. That would be nice. If it can be proven that he lied at his confirmation hearing...and there's a

good chance of that, because that's all republicans know how to do, then maybe we could get rid of him, too.

[Statistical]

8. Once she is confirmed the constitution is pretty clear.

The Democrats could certainly argue that she wasn't confirmed because all rules weren't followed but I don't see SCOTUS buying that. Worth a try though.

Still as much as I hate it we are stuck with her. However we can dilute her effect by expanding the court.

[BComplex]

11. She can still be impeached.

She's already lied in her senate hearing about "not knowing about" the school rejecting lgbtq students. There was something else it was shown she lied about too, but I can't remember right now.

[Polybius]

12. True, and she can be removed as well

But that will take a staggering 67 votes in the Senate.

[BComplex]

15. You're forgetting! The turtle changed the rules so that you only need a simple majority for all this

stuff. That's been his one-trick pony this whole cycle with him as senate majority leader.

[Polybius]

19. No, I'm not forgetting the Constitution

Mitch can change Senate rules, but the Constitution is clear in regards to remove a sitting Justice. It's written in there that it takes 2/3rds of the Senate, so that's 67 votes.

[BComplex]

20. Well, that sucks.

There has to be a remedy. They sure aren't putting her in there with 2/3 of the vote.

[Statistical]

13. Sure she can and when we have 67 senators ready to convict that will matter.

I would have thought Trump's impeachment would have proven once and for all how absolutely political impeachment is as a tool. It doesn't matter about right or wrong all that matters is votes.

[uriel1972]

5. elections have consequences... nt

[Fullduplexxx]

6. Yes they do and sitting them out have consequences as well like the sht we're dealing with now

2010 2016

[Wellstone ruled]

9. It sure as hell does.

Those folks who voted for Stein own this.

[Thekaspervote]

14. Agree! Push forward and push the pukes to the side..we have business here to help struggling

American families and we will not be deterred

[Hotler]

16. First they have to decide to stop playing nice. nt
