She lasted long enough that there is unlikely to be a new justice appointed until after election day. Her last wish was that she not be replaced until a new president is in office, and that is contingent upon (a) the election and (b) there being a country left to preside over in January

The only way there will be a country left in January is if there’s a new president elected in November, you think cities are on fire now, just imagine what would happen if Trump somehow got a second term, we’d be in an absolute, full blown civil war that would make the first one look like Grenada

Well, under the old Biden rule, an appointment in a presidential election year doesn’t get Senate consideration, but, that was in the old fashioned, collegial Senate. Harry Reid opened the floodgates with the new rule 20 procedure, and it's kind of been open season since.

The sad thing is they have until inauguration to replace her. Idk if the Dems can block them for that long. NPR had a tweet where she says " my most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

Honestly I think it’s more likely the other way around. Those most likely to play by the rules are the ones who have been doing so all along, unlike the Trumpsky-ites who’ve done everything they can to subvert tradition.

They refused to confirm anyone until a new president was in office. And now they got their team, watch them ignore their own made up rule and not give a shit....right before they lose their majority. A last big fart in your car before getting out .

What, you think the folks trashing Portland will just shrug and go “well, I guess he beat us fair and square this time, come on, let's all go home and try harder in 2024"? Not likely - they might, however, decide to relocate to Washington

Did you see Roger Stone loudly encouraging Trump to declare martial law if he doesn’t win? People in the streets will be angry, but they don’t have the military to deploy.

If I remember correctly, the incumbent president did try to replace a justice in an election year. His party was just too incompetent to get them confirmed.

If people in the PNW try to overthrow an election, it’ll probably look more like the Bay of Pigs than Grenada. We are not going to have a civil war.

there were filabuster rules that made it easy for the Republican s to block Obama’s nomination, they got changed... but don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll all see plenty of hypocri s y too.

I’m going to be an asshole and say it was dumb and selfish of her not to retire back when she was 80 and Democrats still held the Senate and White House.

Also, the “hurr durr  hypocrite much Moscow Mitch??” takes are going to make my eyes bleed. Like no shit, this is how power works.

Doubt it, you’ll have fat rednecks m arch around with flags and yell, maybe carry around some guns and dress in surplus camo, but they’ll go home when they tire themselves out, or when it’s time to catch Hannity or the Matlock rerun. They’re not going to sacrifice their 401ks and home equity with a civil war, they’ll retreat to their echo chamber online forums and keep nodding agreement to talk radio and forwarding dubious  emails

They might , but will Trump? That’s the unanswerable question.

There are always, always, always voting irregularities, and he’ll try to drag out the drama as much as possible. Hopefully the Supreme Court will be able to play impartial arbiter, but damn, things could get ugly.

We won’t find out anyway, Harris is already a done deal, everyone knows it. You don’t get re-elected with the economy in the shitter, violent uprisings in every major city, and the population under major civil controls to control the spread of a pandemic. Hell, just one of those would guarantee a landslide loss, this is going to be a bigger political bloodbath than Mondale in '84

Yes. He’ll leave in January. Depending on how close it is, he might delay conceding until after the House has certified the vote instead of doing it on election night, but that’s it, not even the tiniest shred of doubt in my mind. And it won't be close anyway, Harris will take it solidly enough that there won't be much room for challenge - think Bush 2004, not Bush 2000.

You are correct, Obama should have replaced her when he had the chance. I can’t stand the current crop of Republicans, but I give them grudging credit for playing the long game.

At this point I can’t get very mad anymore   about Republicans doing evil things because it’s what I expect them to do. I’m much more frustrated with Democrats and liberals who seem to be perpetually  taken by surprise.

Hopefully, I will waive from above. I don't understand why they are like this with policies? I'm genuinely curious, I'm worried honestly. Like if we revolted would the army intervene. What would happen, would we get invaded. I'm concerned.

I suspect Mr.T will propose a selection before the body is cold, and the senate will promise the pass but you gotta vote red to get it. That's their sway move.

This isn’t just the end of the Supreme Court; this is the end of the Senate as we know it. The pressure to rebalance the court (as well as the pressure to solidify right wing policy goals like ending RvW, further enhancing voter suppression tactics, ending Obamacare and social security and medicare for that matter, etc.) will be enormous. The filibuster is a dead man walking.

Trump now has the opportunity to deal damage to the foundations of the state that could take - no exaggeration - a century or more to repair. Elections have consequences, y'all.

As I said elsewhere, rest in peace Justice Ginsburg. You served long and well, and you were appreciated for your service.

Now, I look forward to the appointment of another justice in the mold of the last one, with whom I was pleased. This could make a decent legacy to what was otherwise an effectual and controversial presidency.

Oh come on, man. Seriously?  You can’t have such little faith in our institutions. Our country has survived so much more than just a dickhead president. Have some perspective.

Its not that we can’t survive the president, it’s that we can’t survive the   reaction to the president. If he somehow wins again, shit is going to go down. Keep your loved ones indoors election night, park your cars in a locked garage, and keep a gun nearby, just in case. I mean, it will turn out fine, Harris is getting in, but a slim chance is still chance, you have to be prepared.

I just don’t the public is that stupid. We’re not some banana republic. We are a country ruled by law and our citizens believe in the law and in the idea of the US . There will certainly be assholes that like to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but they will be the extremists.

The hullabaloo we are watching now looks serious because we are so close to it, but this is nothing compared to what this country has gone through.
