    Cancer sucks. I don't care where you are on the political spectrum.

    But I also wonder what does this mean for her spot in the Supreme
    Court? Does this give Trump yet another opportunity to fill a
    seat before the end of his term?

    Generally, this close to an election, the trend was to wait until after to fill the seat.

    Lets hope Trump *doesn't* ponder or attempt to fill RBG's spot, at least no now.

    Why not? More Republicans in the supreme court makes us stronger.

    Hello Aaron,

    no NA> now.

    A true one-party state.
    Just like the USSR.
    With Trump as Putin's puppet.
    And Moscow Mitch as his acolyte.

    Trump will nominate a new justice.
    Moscow Mitch will grant him/her a hearing,
    and a vote. The only question being will
    this be before, or after, the election.

    Mitch will probably move pretty fast for a conservative cause, and I would expect nothing less from him.

    It's like this, Lee,

    If the democrats weren't so unfair with us, we'd have no reason to rush the nomination, but since radical democrats have caused all this hurt and neglect, we (Republicans) are out for blood! When
    a dictatorlike governor starts telling me that it's no longer a jailable offense to rob people, I am ready to take hostages (joking) to the polls to
    fix this crap.

    Previosly, I'd give a Democrat a break for some garbage policy, but now
    they have destroyed my state. I just bought an awesome house here 3 years ago, but I only wish I could pack it up and move it to a state that jails people!

    Just wait until your Democrats start doing this horrible crap that they're doing here. Don't hesitate to feed them to the gators once they close down your jails.

    Nothing. The USSC could have overturned Roe V. Wade long ago
    had it wanted to. But Republicans wanted to keep the status quo,
    in order to use the issue of abortion as a political weapon.

    Unfortunately, I see the need for taking measures like that.

    Being pro-life means from the moment of conception and throughout
    life to the time of natural death. I do not see many of those so-called "pro-life" folks calling for an end to the death penalty, or for all
    people to have access to quality health care.

    Then, Republicans have a different definition of the term because we want protection for the unborn and we want to revoke protection for the already born.

    The health care is less of a concern when democrats have us sleeping with our eyes open with all their protections for violent, horrible people.

    I am sure the Democrats will pull out all the stops to keep Trump's
    nominee from being confirmed. And I am also sure Trump will also get
    his way. Howeveer, once Joe Biden takes the oath of office it is
    going to be a whole new ball game. Just think how much fun he will
    be having naming at least four new justices to the Supreme Court -
    and that is just in his first month in office.

    I can't help it - Democrats have made things lousier than they needed to be for us since day one of Trump's administration. They have never offered to do a thing for anyone, including people affected by coronavirus. I'm not insane, and all I see the Democrats doing is spreading fear and false narratives.

    Where's my 2nd stimlus check? Or, if it's going to local governments, then where's my county's 2nd stimulus check? Oh, the Democrats who love and care about their residents so much, said that they're not willing to make Trump look good 2 months away from election. So better wait for a Biden stimulus, that way the career politician sounds like a winner in his re-election ads.

    If Biden knows black voters the way he thinks he does, then he will be sure to gaffe up a coronavirus handout to black voters and he will surely make it so obvious that he's pandering.

    Making him a bona fide liar, given his statement in 2016 denying
    President Obama's nominee a vote on the senate floor, as well as

    Democrats have made it perfectly clear that they aren't going to allow any bipartisan success stories until Trump is out of office.

    It's an eye for an eye. Dems are making citizens like me angry. When dems
    start taking things from me, it makes me want to take things from them.

    Hello Aaron,

    Moscow Mitch's lie for refusing to allow a hearing or a vote
    for a president's nomination for a justice on the USSC has been

    Playing fair with Democrats has been canceled for now.

    Playing fair with the American people has never been what
    Moscow Mitch has been about. And certainly not your orange
    clown.

    Notice that even your pal Mitt Romney is ready to vote?

    Mitt Romney says he is a Republican. Mitt Romney says he
    is a conservative. Mitt Romney has bent his knee to the orange
    clown, showing the entire world who is his master.

    I hope you enjoy your ochlocracy.
