    I bet if the sum was big enough he’d actually do it. Maybe we should all chip in to a gofundme?

      It’s an election year, as if the republicans would let Biden pick a new candidate just as they didn’t let Obama when Scalia died before an election.

        If you’re going to be too afraid to act because the GOP are pulling some bad-faith bullshit, you’re not going to get anything done. They respect displays of strength - give 'em one.

          It’s not about fear, it’s about thinking logically.

          They have already shown they can simply refuse any nominations during a presidential election year.

          In this hypothetical scenario it makes more sense to save the money and only do it after/if Biden wins. Otherwise you’re just wasting millions to hand them a free nomination to appoint to a younger judge who will hold the seat for even longer.

            The GOP refusing is only the next step in the chain - Biden backed down for fear of being uncivil and creating a constitutional crisis - he doesn’t have to do that.

        Dems control the Senate, they’d confirm a new justice in record time.

            As if Schumer wouldn’t be wringing his hands about the whole thing and talking about institutions this and that.

            Democratic senators are so lawful neutral it’s disgusting.

      Gofundme might work better than the Gofuckyourself we have been doing so far.
