In reply to the discussion: Democrats warn GOP: Don't fill a Supreme Court vacancy in 2020 or we'll retaliate [View all]not_the_one
(2,227 posts)I can hope (atheists don't pray) that she hangs in there. I am sure she will do her DAMNDEST.
But the democrats need to make it clear that there WILL BE NO NEW APPOINTEES TO THE SUPREME COURT THIS CLOSE TO THE ELECTION. We need to do that with such steely confidence that they will actually believe us. Because that is exactly what we will do.
The republicans MUST honor the new norm that THEY set. Or we will begin impeachment proceedings against ANYONE they appoint and railroad through. Because it was an illegitimate appointment, per their own past practices.
We can't do that, you say? Then just watch us. Let any person who they nominate know that we will make their life HELL, and it just might not be worth being nominated. There is NO TELLING what we may be able to dig up. We will take "vetting" to a whole new level. Do they really want their life gone over with a microscopic comb? I seriously doubt it.
MEANWHILE, the day after the inauguration RGB can step down, Biden can select Anita Hill (who is perfectly qualified for the seat), which will OUTRAGE Clarence Thomas, who will IMMEDIATELY step down, and Biden can nominate HILLARY CLINTON to replace him. Not only will the injustice that Anita Hill be addressed (by BIDEN, who was party to it), we will be rid of Thomas, Hillary (who WON THE PRESIDENCY) will become (again) one of the most powerful women on the planet. THEN we can address Brett, beer enthusiast, Kavanaugh. We already know he LIED to Congress. He should be easy to get rid of. Maybe a GAY replacement?
Then we can sit back and relish the sound of republican and Hillary hater's HEADS EXPLODING. I am absolutely WET with anticipation.
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me. (I realize I am dreaming, but an old gay fart can dream, can't he?)
