1. Even more important, because of the implications of the investigation going on, there

is serious concern that the will of the people was interfered with, and until that is cleared up, no further appointments, especially lifetime appointments should be allowed

2. Dems had better keep that

in the very, very front of their minds.

5. I agree, but since we have minority status I don't think it will be successful. Still, I think the

Democrats should stand united against this nomination

3. Yes, but the good news for the treasonous criminals is even if we impeach

the traitor in chief, other traitors who will destroy civil rights and steal our benefit monies will take over.

There is no good way out of a stolen election.

6. You are right Eliot, but it would delay things, and might buy time. The Democrats in the Senate I

believe can filibuster this appointment, and while there is a good chance that the republicans in the Senate would get rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees, taking that stand is critical

4. According to Mitch McConnell: We the People are responsible to who gets appointed on USSC

"The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President".

"I can’t imagine that a Republican majority Congress in a lame duck session after the American people have spoken would want to confirm a nominee opposed by the NRA, the NFIB, and the New York Times says would move the court dramatically to the left. This nomination ought to be made by the next president".


WE CAN WAIT!!!
