There is absolutely no way Biden would get to appoint her successor so it's a stupid thing to be calling for her resignation.

Republican for being right about all the ways I warned Democrats not to lose? You guys saw sabotage where the opposite was offered.

Her quitting would be the most idiotic thing she could do.

Biden absolutely cannot get her replacement appointed in a month and a half.

That really isn't that old (especially for women). It's not like she in her late 80s.

to be fair, if she retired -now- you would end up with a conservative judge anyway because they'd sandbag the replacement until Trump gets to pick

They've done it before and have, arguably, even more justification to do it now (even if shitty)

Pretty much this. While utterly meaningless at this point, her and our only hope is her staying in.

progressives are, she's 70, she's diabetic she's not liberal enough anyway so they want her gone
bad actors want her gone because they want Trump to put another heritage society goon up there to make it even easier to strip more rights away and keep the court in their hands for decades to come

Why would Republicans expand/pack the court? Their side won they have the 6-3 advantage. Packing court was for the side with less the Democrats to add more.

That's how long it took Trump to appoint Barrett after RBG died. She died 9/19, Barrett was confirmed 10/26. Republicans didn't have any more of a majority than Democrats currently do.

The odds Manchin would agree to fill a vacancy are nil

lmao dude your old alt that went full MAGA

The AE that you refer to never supported Trump either. There are no posts from that set of accounts past 2014, which was before Trump even ran. I checked the web archives.

You can't just assume every troll from the past was a MAGA. Don't make things up.

Keep lying bud

Show an example of Apocalypse Edge or a related alt supporting Trump, MAGA, or Republicans at all. Because I couldn't find anything even checking the Internet Archive, the current GFAQs archive, or archived pages of the old GFAQs archive. There's no available evidence of what you're asserting.

I'm fully confident it didn't happen and you're just dumping baseless claims on an acceptable target/already disreputable user. The timeline of the user's posts doesn't allow for them to have been a MAGA, they predated that movement.

They don't need to expand the courts. they already have a majority, and Because Trump has won now, Alito, Thomas, and Roberts will probably step down so Trump can replace them with 3 much younger hacks, guaranteeing partisan conservative decisions for the next couple generations.

They had a majority that they do not currently have. Democrats hold a majority in the senate; nothing would stop them from appointing a new justice (and filling a lot of other judiciary vacancies) except themselves.

This is what I do not understand, Republicans are going to throw everything at the wall to resist any type of appointment this late into Biden's presidency just because they know they have succeeded at it before.

Heres a better idea: no one cares which alt you were posting your MAGA stuff on, we all saw AE go into his new gimmick, and Im not a fucking psycho who uses weird archives about gamefaqs users

You're the only one I've ever seen claiming AE went MAGA. Everyone else says the user stopped posting 10 years ago, which is before MAGA existed, and that lines up with my findings. You're dead wrong on this, memory lapses happen.

Its too late for anything like that to happen. The Senate is not even in session and would be kicked back to the next legislative session. Jan 3rd is the next session and the day the new Republican Senate members are sworn in.

Ultimately, Manchin and Sinema would just prolly just go "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN" and refuse to let it proceed.

Look, I'd love it if Dems could get a 30 year old jurist in there now. Unfortunately there's no way to force her to retire if she doesn't want to, and one guy who's retiring with nothing to lose who's never going to agree to replace her when every vote would be required.
