Cruz says Senate Republicans likely have votes to confirm Trump Supreme Court nominee

By: Rema Rahman, MSN, September 20, 2020:

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on Sunday that Senate Republicans have the votes to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, noting it was “particularly important” that the chamber do so before Election Day.

When asked by host George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” if Republicans have the votes to confirm a new justice, Cruz said it was likely. He then pivoted toward Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden challenging the election results while staunchly avoiding the notion that Trump has said he would do so if results show he lost.

“I believe we will,” Cruz said of having the votes to confirm a Supreme Court nomination. “I think it is particularly important that the Senate take it up and confirm this nomination before the election because Joe Biden has been explicit. He has said if he doesn’t win, he’s going to challenge this election. He’s going to go to court, he’s going to challenge, he’s already hired a big legal team. Hillary Clinton has told Joe Biden under no circumstances should you concede. Given that, there is a serious risk of a constitutional crisis if Joe Biden is bringing litigation like we had in Bush v. Gore.”

Biden has not explicitly said he would challenge the election results. Trump has repeatedly doubted the results of this year’s election should he lose, particularly rejecting the legitimacy of mail-in ballots states are turning to due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Senator, I have to stop you. As you know, it is President Trump who’s been the one talking about rigged elections. Joe Biden has not explicitly said he’s going to challenge the election,” Stephanopoulos said, acknowledging that all campaigns take on legal teams to analyze irregularities in election results.

Cruz said it is imperative that there be a full court on Election Day to avoid the chaos that followed the 2000 election, which the Supreme Court ultimately decided in a disputed recount of votes in Florida between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

“An equally divided court can’t decide anything,” Cruz said. “That could make this presidential election drag on weeks and months and well into next year. That is an intolerable situation for the country. We need a full court on Election Day given the very high likelihood that we’re going to see litigation that goes to the court.”

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said in a statement after Ginsburg’s death that the Senate should not vote for her successor before the election.

Sen. Lisa Murkowksi (R-Alaska) also said shortly before Ginsburg’s death was reported that she would not vote to confirm a Supreme Court nominee before the election.

Poor consequential thinking. Now, any harm or attempted harm to Trump will be directly attributed back to Iran. No matter who does it. USA mil budget = $700+ billion, Iran mil budget = $16 billion.

Hey mtman, I’m not sure that they know what Trump is doing or why. Brodsky tweets minute by minute about events inside Iran. Many comments made by insiders there indicate that Iranian politicos don’t really understand what Trump is doing.

They don’t understand why they can’t sell any oil. They think the USA is trying to attack them, but they have no idea why the USA is not trying to attack others, like Turkmenistan or Azerbaijan. Nevertheless they feel mysteriously singled out for ‘aggression’.

They think they can circumvent the ‘snap-back’, but they have no idea how they will do that. Etc., etc., they are very ignorant about geo-politics in general, and about the political and economic consequences of gratuitous external aggression. Just dumb tyrants.

‘Those Are The Only Rules’:
Trump Campaign Releases Statement On Supreme Court Vacancy

By Eric A. Blair
Published September 20, 2020 at 1:30pm

“When there’s a Supreme Court vacancy, the President selects a nominee and the Senate provides advice and consent. That’s what the Constitution says and those are the only rules,” Tim Murtaugh, Trump 2020 communications director, said in a statement.

“There has been an open seat on the Supreme Court in a presidential election year 29 times in American history, and in every single case the president has nominated a candidate. Voters elected Donald J. Trump president in 2016 and gave Republicans an expanded majority in 2018, so the people already have spoken. The President has placed two well-qualified justices on the court so far and he is about to select a third,” he wrote.

“Americans can see the names on his list of potential nominees, while Joe Biden is hiding his list of people he would consider if he were president. Biden knows that he is an empty vessel for the radical left and that’s why he’s refusing to be honest with the American people about who he would want on the court. But make no mistake about this: The President has been clear that he will nominate a woman to fill that seat and the Senate should vote to confirm her,” Murtaugh wrote.

According to “Undercover Huber,” 61 Supreme Court Justice picks have been nominated and confirmed since 1900 — and 70% of them were confirmed within 46 days — the exact number of days left until Election Day.

I am uneasy about her. I read somewhere from a credible source at the time, that she is into this communal style living and thinks that is “Christianity”. I also suspect she is a social liberal -many Catholics are… I’m not terribly impressed with any of them. If she was a Michele Bachmann type – a fiscal and social conservative, then I’d be enthused.

I’ll read your link later.

She also has 7 children, 2 of whom were adopted from another country, instead of the U.S. She’s a Catholic who practices Pagan holidays, rather than God’s Holy Days. Lots of things about her that just don’t sound right.

Christmas is a pagan holiday. No one celebrated it in Yeshua of Nazareth’s time. I don’t know even know where you would get a Christmas tree in Israel.
A holiday that was observed in Yeshua’s day was Nicanor Day (Yom Nicanor). Nicanor was a general of the Seleucids who threatened to turn the Temple into one honoring Dionysius. The Maccabees defeated his army, lopped off his head and right arm then brought them back to Yerushalem.

So people cannot have children or adopt children? Roberts adopted 2, illegally by the way.

So Justice Thomas should not be on the Supreme Court? He is also Catholic. By the way, I’m not Catholic, and I don’t believe Catholicism is a Pagan religion.

They are you reasons, and you are entitled to your opinion, but my opinion is they are not reasons to not vote for ACB.

That wasn’t my point. I just think if they were going to adopt, they’d adopt children in this country. Many women are having abortions because they’re told nobody will adopt the one they’re pregnant with.

But that is only half of the problem with her, not the whole thing. We don’t need a Supreme Court packed with Catholics. Our Holy God ABHORS Paganism, and Catholicism is almost entirely Pagan. The U.S. is in ENOUGH trouble as it is!

“That wasn’t my point. I just think if they were going to adopt, they’d adopt children in this country.” I know a number of women who have adopted children from Russia. And many woman adopted children from Romania after seeing the conditions those children live in. People were going overseas because abortions limited the number of children available for adoption.

“Many women are having abortions because they’re told nobody will adopt the one they’re pregnant with.” Huh? ????????????????????

I’m not Prejudice, I study the Bible and am a Hebrew scholar. Catholicism is a religion that went WAY off base in the 3rd Century when Constantine created it, and packed it with Pagan holidays (not holy days). He felt he had a right to change God’s Sabbath from the 7th day to SUNday to appease the sun worshipers. That was just for starters. START STUDYING, you feckless fool. If you’re Catholic, you’re a PAGAN! And NO Pagan will enter God’s Kingdom.

STUDY!! Learn what Constantine did. Then quit calling Godly people “prejudice”! Your wretched IGNORANCE is showing!!

The only wretched ignorance is yours. Just because my religion isn’t the same as someone else’s does not mean I am going to call someone else’s religion a pagan religion or something even worse.

For speaking TRUTH. Take heed! What are YOU qualified for, besides kvetching?

The world is rapidly realigning itself into the place described by the Bible in the last days. It is an awe-inspiring thing to see. Thousands of years ago, prophets wrote down God’s words, and what He said then is coming true today. That provides a strong reason to trust Him and His word. In a time when it’s hard to know who you can believe, you can know that God has spoken, and believe Him.

“For speaking TRUTH. Take heed! What are YOU qualified for, besides kvetching?” Your TRUTH. How about facts?

‘In Yiddish, kvetch still retains its original meaning of pressing or applying pressure. Thus, to push a button is to kvetch ah knepel, and when a person is emotionally squeezed, small minded or otherwise suppressed, he or she is farkvetched. In Yiddish grammar, kvetch means “stress.”’ Certainly seems to describe you.

Don’t act so superior. I know all about the rapture and the second coming. And know that we are to be prepared for what is coming but we are to continue to live each day.

What does your spiel have to do with the Supreme Court choice? Thus far all I get from your nonsense is that you are a bigot.

Tolerance is what has brought the dying atheist West to its knees before the muslum world. A degenerate, atheist West that ignores the ongoing extermination of Christians in Nigeria and the hundreds of thousands of kafir being enslaved by muslums across Africa. A degenerate tolerance that ignores the fact all muslum states are totalitarian, theocratic, fascist, religious (and frequently gender) apartheid states. As Aristotle is presumed to have said: “tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.”

Flashback:
In 2016, Ginsburg said Senate should hold SCOTUS confirmation hearing during election year
Ginsburg remarked in 2016 that ‘nothing in the Constitution’ precludes 11th hour nomination
.
By Charles Creitz | Fox News 9/20/20

But in 2016, when a lame-duck President Obama tabbed Merrick Garland to replace the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, Democratic leaders had no problem with the move. And neither did Ginsburg.

“There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year,” Ginsburg said in a 2016 New York Times interview in which she called for Garland to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate.

As for whether the Senate should take up a vote on Garland, Ginsburg said at the time, “That’s their job.”

2016 interview

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, No Fan of Donald Trump, Critiques Latest Term – 2016
By Adam Liptak
July 10, 2016

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court in May. In an interview in her chambers on Friday, she chastised the Senate for refusing to act on President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee,
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court in May. In an interview in her chambers on Friday, she chastised the Senate for refusing to act on President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.

WASHINGTON — Unless they have a book to sell, Supreme Court justices rarely give interviews. Even then, they diligently avoid political topics. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg takes a different approach.

These days, she is making no secret of what she thinks of a certain presidential candidate.

“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she said. “For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.”

It reminded her of something her husband, Martin D. Ginsburg, a prominent tax lawyer who died in 2010, would have said.

“‘Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,’” Justice Ginsburg said, smiling ruefully.

In an interview in her chambers on Friday, Justice Ginsburg took stock of a tumultuous term and chastised the Senate for refusing to act on President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.

Her colleagues have said nothing in public about the presidential campaign or about Mr. Obama’s stalled nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland to the Supreme Court. But Justice Ginsburg was characteristically forthright, offering an unequivocal endorsement of Judge Garland.

“I think he is about as well qualified as any nominee to this court,” she said. “Super bright and very nice, very easy to deal with. And super prepared. He would be a great colleague.”

Asked if the Senate had an obligation to assess Judge Garland’s qualifications, her answer was immediate.

“That’s their job,” she said. “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.”

The court has been short-handed since Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, and Justice Ginsburg said it will probably remain that way through most or all of its next term, which starts in October. Even in “the best case,” in which Judge Garland was confirmed in the lame-duck session of Congress after the presidential election on Nov. 8, she said, he will have missed most of the term’s arguments and so could not vote in those cases.

Justice Ginsburg, 83, said she would not leave her job “as long as I can do it full steam.” But she assessed what is at stake in the presidential election with the precision of an actuary, saying that Justices Anthony M. Kennedy and Stephen G. Breyer are no longer young.

“Kennedy is about to turn 80,” she said. “Breyer is going to turn 78.”

For the time being and under the circumstances, she said, the Supreme Court is doing what it can. She praised Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.

“He had a hard job,” Justice Ginsburg said. “I think he did it quite well.”

Why do reporters always get the opinions of Collins and Murkowski without asking them why they said what they said. If they state it’s because presidents shouldn’t nominate a judge in an election year, that goes against precedent. So, there is no legitimate reason for their lame opinion… and that’s all it is… an opinion. They need to take the advice of the Democrat party in 2016 and “do their job”!

I read that Trump has decided to nominate Biden for the Supreme Court. This means Democrats will assail Biden with claim of sexual impropriety and racism as per playbook. The Senate will reject the nomination as they hear the Democrat evidence. Biden has to withdraw from Presidential race.
Barret is then nominated two days before election and walks in.
The man is a genius.

Once again we find Hillary in the fray causing turmoil in the country because of her previously spoiled ambitions. She hasn’t learned the boomerang effect of her own Karma and a lifetime of misery it has caused her and will continue to haunt her. Now, whenever these emotional events occur its always the Republican Party that finds itself with Members who put their conscience before the Party and split the vote, handing it to the Democrats. The Democrats know they can always count on a few in both Houses. Look at the Democrats. The march as unit almost never breaking ranks. The reason is they know if if they dissent in a vote their career is over.
