I pray for her soul, but I depend on Trump to put in place a conservative Justice.
I pray that the Republicans will stand with the President. I’m not looking forward to days and days of praise being heaped on the poor sick woman who fought so hard to live.

Too late to pray for her now!
Testament to that is her struggle to stay alive, fearing death!

CK: It is extremely imperative that when a supposedly conservative party controls the Presidency and the Senate; one must not tarry when one already has the ability by advice and consent to fill a vacancy! Press on with speed!

.... and then there's this:

https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/18/democrats-supreme-court-vacancy-2016-vacancy-merrick-garland/

Although Democratic p**********l nominee Joe Biden favored putting off a confirmation hearing during an e******n year in 1992 as a senator, Biden supported Garland’s confirmation in 2016 as vice president, according to ABC News. He said there was no supposed “Biden Rule” concerning Supreme Court nominations in an e******n year.

“Deciding in advance simply to turn your back before the president even names a nominee is not an option the Constitution leaves open,” Biden said, according to Business Insider. “It’s a plain abdication from the Senate’s duty. … [It’s] never occurred before in our history.”

“E******ns have consequences,” then-Democratic p**********l nominee Hillary Clinton said, according to Politico. “The president has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the Senate has a responsibility to v**e."

She called McConnell's decision "outrageous." [Wonder what she'll say this time around.]

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted: “Garland has integrity, a brilliant legal mind & is a perfect fit for [the Supreme Court]. GOP inaction does our country a great disservice.”

And then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tweeted: “Judge Merrick Garland, is a respected jurist who must be given a fair hearing & timely v**e.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, an Independent who caucuses with Democrats, tweeted, “Judge Garland is a strong nominee with decades of experience on the bench. [Obama] has done his job. It’s time for Republicans to do theirs.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted that Republicans must “ditch their extremism” and schedule a v**e for Garland.

Then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate should consider a nominee immediately, according to Politico.

“It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with a vacant seat,” Reid said, Politico reported. “Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate’s most essential Constitutional responsibilities.”

Different time, different situation! Obama was a lame duck Democrat president with a Republican Senate! Split powers! Both the Presidency and the Senate are in Republican hands! They have a duty to perform!

We must not allow the Democrats to prohibit the immediate appointment by Pres. Trump and they are already lining up. You are absolutely correct.

Regardless of what either party says, it's what they do and you must strike while the irons hot🔥! And that's exactly what either party in power would and should do. The dimocrats would do the same thing no matter what they say.

They stiffed Obama’s choice, the seat was empty for a year until McConnell stole it.
I’m guessing the same rules on the crooked chit they pulled last should be the norm today right?????
Re write the constitution so the sitting president doesn’t get a pick.
If they can’t play by their own rules, what should we call them, carol ???
