Democrat political strategist David Axelrod warns a vacancy on the Supreme Court would tear the nation apart.
I don’t see how. Not if Democrats follow the Constitution. The President nominates some jurist, the Senate confirms her, the nation moves on.
The only way a problem could arise is if Democrats decide not to follow the Constitution, if they decide to stage a revolution to overthrow the Constitution through violence. That would tear the nation apart.
So what’s Axelrod saying: Democrats intend to tear the nation apart over one lousy Supreme Court seat?
If we’re looking at a threat to the nation’s very existence, maybe Trump should look to historical precedent, consider some of Abraham Lincoln’s tactics. Call up the National Guard to maintain order? Suspend habeas corpus. Jail dissidents without charges or trial. Harsh, but to save the nation, justified. And who could fairly complain – they brought it on themselves.

I’m all for doing all of that with those that want to abolish the Electoral College. The SCOTUS, even moreso.
Trump continues to tear the country apart by not saying and doing everything the Democrats want him to say and do. Is that so hard to understand? 🙂
If its a conservative woman that Trump picks to replace RBG, I cant wait to see the lame attempts the Left will do to smear her.
Here you go, POD.

The Know-Nothing Party is not dead, just waiting for the right moment.
Call me crazy JD but I think that will blow up in their face PR wise, but they probably dont care.
You’re correct, PoD, the attempts will be lame. Like the Cavanaugh accusations, however, these will be delivered with the most serious of miens and those who can be expected to be outraged about them will be so. Lather, rinse, repeat.
RBG’s body is literally rotting from under her, poor thing; one can only imagine the smell.
I wish self-serving reprobate leftists would allow her to expire quietly and comfortably. But no, they insist she drag her sack of bones, painfully into the Court until she literally falls apart. It’s disgusting.
Amy Coney Barrett is young, she is smart as hell and eminently qualified. She’s ready to take her seat, and will be one of the greatest Justices ever.
Wise white woman doesn’t roll off the tounge as well as wise latina…
What if Trump’s pick was a guy that opted to declare himself a woman? Just for the confirmation. Anytime a D says something mean, every R can come back with “why don’t you support trans?” Plus, Trump has nominated first openly trans.
Shakingmyhead,
Man, you may be on to something there!
