    Her medical condition will be increasingly shrouded in secrecy.

    No, you have established nothing of the sort. Her own words prove you wrong; plain and simple.

    No; you can try to dismiss me all you'd like; authoritarians and enemies of the people always try to mock and marginalize those who speak unvarnished truth. The words of the Founders are clear, and the Constitution itself is clear. I lump you in with the enemies of this country I took an oath to protect this nation from, and hold all those like you in abject contempt.

    I'm willing to die fighting in defense of what I believe. Are you?

    That wasn’t in the NE, I read it. You’re like buzzfeed full of lies

    Let us just agree to disagree. I took an oath to defend this country as well. It doesn't have an expiration date.

    If she vacates the office, the House will impeach Trump before he can name a successor and then insist that a President, under such a cloud cannot make an appointment under such a cloud. I'm sure four or five GOP squish senators will go along with that.

    Then Dems will slow walk the House proceedings for all of 2019, preventing the Senate from acquitting him, and then insist that the Biden rule precludes a vote in 2020.

    I doubt it, if they found something serious to charge Trump with but at the moment there's nothing, you're not going to have GOP defectors for accusations as nebulous as paying off his mistresses, suspected but unproven allegations of Russian collaboration or firing Comey with all his malpractices trying to make this into a case of obstruction. Appointing more conservative SCOTUS picks is the one thing the GOP all agree on.

    She's increasingly reminding me of Woodrow Wilson (without all the racism).

    Then why did the GOP anti-Trumpers vote for Hillary or McMuffin knowing full well that with her first pick to replace Scalia that she would have reconstituted the Warren Court majority that we worked fifty years to dislodge?

    The Senate Judiciary Committee won't have a cloud. They do the confirming. And while President, a president still has to do his job

    Of course. The Court was split 4/4. Scalia's seat was unfilled. Hillary's first pick would have made the court 5/4 Leftwing.

    All they have to do is get a few squishy republicans do go along with them and McConnell doesn't have 50 votes.

    Just 3 days ago the Senate failed News to pass a bill prohibiting taxpayer-funded abortion. It failed to get majority support. Five Republicans didn’t vote: Alexander, Burr, Crapo, Graham, Paul.

    This is a confirmation of a judge not a bill.

    If your claims are true you took an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic as well. You should bear that in mind.

    No, it does not.

    Have no fear. If she croaks the democrats will demand that the actress that played her in the movie take her place.

    In the last 2 nominations you have had universal backing of GOP senators for Trump's choices (not counting Pence's vote). The idea that there would be a rebellion is wishful thinking, nominating conservatives to the Scotus is what unites Republicans.

    No, that anti-Trump GOPs voted for Hilary, I think it more likely if any felt like that they simply abstained

    No. Many voted for Hillary. George HW Bush. Robert Kagan and Bill Crystal and many others. Even those that abstained, at the time they did it figure it would result in Trump's failure, which means Hillary picks Scalia's replacement.

    After all the times the Base held their nose and voted for Establishment candidates, because they won the primaries, it was an unforgiveable backstabbing that we will never forget.
