    From the quotes in the news, it appears they are not going after Barrett so much as they are going after the republicans, saying that the republicans are trying to "pack the court", or "ram through a Justice no matter the covid risks" or "spending time on Barrett while ignoring real problems in America" -- that kind of BS.

    A lot of democrat emphasis in attacking Trump is on climate change, which could be good for us. Clowns like Warren have been saying that Trump will kill every living thing on Earth; Noam Chomsky said the same thing, republicans are trying to murder everyone because we aren't shutting down the planet to prevent climate change.

    Well, Bill Gates was just in the news a few days ago, with the latest studies from the covid shutdown. We stopped the planet to the tune of a 90% reduction in air and car travel, and other huge reductions in manufacturing and mining and logging so massive that even the skies over China cleared up. Well, it turns out that even if we made that the "new normal", it would put only a minor dent in what is needed to prevent further climate change or reverse it.

    Bill Gates said it himself -- shutting down the planet will not work, not even close. We need "breakthrough innovations" he said, across multiple industries. IOW, live your life normally, because nothing you do can move the needle enough -- it's going to take some techno-magic to fix this problem.

    Oh well.....
    Obama did the same thing when Scalia died ( or possibly killed ).
    He rushed an appointee through right before an election.
    It's ok for the Demorats to do it, but G-d forbid the Republicans do it!
    They warned the Demorats that they wouldn't forget, and they didn't. Turnabout is fair play.
    She will be confirmed before the election! YES!!!
    Chew on that Demorats!!!
    They weren't expecting, and or anticipating RBG to kick the bucket.
    The Lord works in mysterious ways.

    What if that happens next week when they decide to vote on the confirmation of ACB? What if the majority of the Democrats decide to be absent? Can they still hold the vote anyways?

    Yes, she can be voted in, because the Rep are majority in the Senate. So if the Demorats don't show up, well, bad on them. ACB will be voted in unanimously! LOL

    I was listening to this podcast yesterday with Ted Cruz.



    Actually, the Democrats didn't really sling too much mud at Barrett. I was surprised. Cruz said the Democrats, or many of them just spent the time speaking or lecturing, instead questioning Barrett.
    I don't think they really could given her qualifications, and any attempt to sling real mud would have quickly alienated many of the voters they hope to get to turn out for Dirty Joe.

    Have Bill let us all know when man gains control of mother nature.

    Mitch presses on:

    "Let's get on with it. Let's do our jobs," said McConnell, while hitting Democrats for efforts to undercut Barrett and previous GOP nominees. "We will give this nominee the vote she deserves no later than Monday."

    Mitch filed "cloture" on the Barrett nomination, setting off a countdown for a final vote on Barrett's confirmation likely for Monday evening.

    The Democrats have been dragging their feet for almost four years now. They have more hatred of Trump and anything he dies, or wants to do that would make our country better, than they do in doing the job they were elected to do. They hate Trump and they hate America.

    I have a feeling even a few somewhat conservative Democrats may even vote yes to confirm Barrett.

    I have little doubt that she will be confirmed. Her record is just almost too good to be true, and there isn't anything scandalous in her background that makes her a problem for anyone.
