Supreme Court Opportunity
With Ginsburg's passing, it looks like we may be in for a another round of polarizing partisanship. Trump is evidently moving forward with a nomination before election and the dem's heads are about to explode. Top GOP people are on the record of being against Obama nominating a Supreme Court nominee during an election year, and here we are 6 weeks away from election. However, rightwing pundits are already saying, "Don't you think the Democrats would be pushing to get their choice on the court if the situation was reversed!?" McConnell has a small majority to do it, but some Republican Senators are saying they won't go for it with only 6 weeks before the election.
This one surely has the potential to be really nasty and divide everyone even more . . . Here's an idea: What if we just tried to out-nice each other? So what if Trump would come out and say, "There's been enough nastiness in American politics and someone has to take a stand to reverse the course we're on. Therefore I am standing down, and let's let the American voters decide which way they want the court to go in November. Hopefully, this will be a first step back toward civility in politics."? If he did that, he would be taking the long view and probably gain a lot of respect and votes! I suspect some middle of the road voters would be swayed, plus it would galvanize conservative voters (but probably also liberal voters). However, of course, I think the chances of him doing that are probably slim to none . . .

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Interesting that prominant GOP politicians are being called out for earlier saying that a SCOTUS seat should NOT filled in an election year. McConnel and Graham are both on the record saying this when they held up Obama's nominee for 9 months before the 2016 election. Graham even said that they should bring his own words up to him and he said to call him a hypocrite if he ever went back on this word.
So exactly that is happening now. And all the reasons are bring given, such as the Democrats didn't play fair, etc., so it's only fair . . . What a cesspool DC has become in the last couple decades! I guess it maybe has been tht for a much longer time, but no one now tries to even hide it. (except to blame the mess on someone else, like Adam is prone to do) I continue to think the best course of action is for Trump to take the higher road in this, because the Nuclear-Machiavellian option may backfire any way as the GOP having the number of Senate votes appears risky at best. As said in the first post, I think he would gain respect and votes this way, and could then just do the nomination after the November vote.

As with Obama's appointee, it is up to the Senate to decide what to do. We watched the smear job they pulled on Kavanaugh. These Democrats are viciously dishonest. Can't blame that on Trump. This just proves how the Democrats can never be trusted with power. When Pres. Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsberg, where was the outrage? She replaced an excellent Jurist named Byron White. He was one of two to dissent Roe v. Wade. RBG flipped the court, but since conservatives behave themselves, it was a peaceful, though painful, transition. Why won't Democrats do the same? Or do we now succumb to mob rule?

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Genius Trump Nominates Joe Biden To Supreme Court Forcing Dems To Accuse Him Of Sexual Assault
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Trump has announced his pick for Supreme Court justice: Joe Biden. By nominating Biden, Trump has forced the Dems' hands, making them believe the sexual assault claims and allegations of inappropriate, creepy behavior against the former vice president.

E.g. they condemned Trump for shutting down the economy creating loss of jobs (actually only the Governors did that) and they condemned Trump for not shutting down the economy and killing people with Covid (actually only the Governors can do that. E.g. when Trump cut off travel to China they condemned Trump for blatant racism and xenophobia, and afterwards condemned Trump for not cutting off travel to China to save lives. I find it quite comical that the media now call a few senators hypocrites. Have you forgotten that without all these double standards, the Democrats would have no standards at all?

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Now Democrats are talking up the possibility of expanding the number of judges on the SCOTUS, if the GOP pushes through a conservative nominee. Just this past weekend, the DNC is reported to have received $120 million in donations, because of people being upset about what the GOP is attempting to do.
This is another reason for me to wonder if the better option is for Trump to to come out and say he's holding off. This would energize his base to ensure he's elected, and probably sway some fence sitters. It's a decision that would show good leadership and I think could pay big dividends. But no doubt, the GOP leadership thinks all the collateral damage is worth it. Maybe they're correct - but the advantage of getting a right-leaning Supreme Court, may be completely negated soon, if Dems expand the number of judges, and will then be much, much more energized to pack the newly created positions with liberals!

They are also rioting, burning, murdering, and looting many cities until the police are defunded and replaced with social workers. You can never give in to their demands.

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Well . . . no, mankind does not destroy itself. God has an elect who will be preserved. Destroy means to utterly bring to naught, right?
So here's a good article in the Houston Chronical that talks about the potential backlash from pushing the nomination through ASAP. However, some GOP folks think it is a calculated risk that can be overcome. I'm praying the Lord has His way in this matter, and it's above my pay grade to tell Him exactly what that is!

What has been normal presidential procedure for two and a half centuries in America has now become this horrible thing called "pushing the nomination through ASAP." Step back and think about it. Study the historical facts surrounding this, and you will find that Trump is doing NOTHING out of the ordinary. And consider for a moment that Trump is even going so far as to replace a popular and brilliant, defender of women, well-qualified religious jurist with another popular and brilliant, defender of women, well-qualified religious jurist, assuming it is Barrett as most surmise. Did not Trump check all the boxes which the Left loves to see? Knowing that historically well over 50% of Republican appointed SCOTUS judges became quite liberal over time (John Roberts, David Souter, Anthony Kennedy, Sandra O'Connor, John Stevens, Lewis Powell, Harry Blackmun, Warren Burger, Potter Stewart, William Brennan, etc), the never ending screams from the Democrats are entirely unjustified. And that list is just from the days of Roe, since this life-and-death issue always comes back to abortion. Brother STG what you are doing is backing down to mob rule. I don't think that is ever a wise idea. If Ruth Bader Ginsberg really wanted to be replaced by a Democratic president, she had plenty of opportunity to do so while Obama was President. Since when does any SCOTUS Jurist get to pick their replacement? And where was the conservative outcry in 1993 when RBG replaced Byron White, one of only two to dissent on Roe.

Isn't it a very fast turnaround for this? Maybe not, but I don't recall a SCOTUS nomination ever being on such a fast track as this - am I wrong?

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
It used to be a speedy Senate formality until Senator Ted Kennedy changed everything with Justice Robert Bork. His SCOTUS confirmation battle made me interested in politics and solidified my conservative stance. The Democrats then played the same rotten games with Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh. Their whole party has become so viciously dishonest.

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
I concur with what Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch wrote:
Regarding the Supreme Court vacancy, my belief is that if Democrats can impeach in an election year, Trump can certainly fill a seat on the Court in an election year. President Trump is set to announce his nomination this weekend.

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
BTW - I participated in an awesome gathering in Scottsdale yesterday to pray for the nation - standing one with our brothers & sisters on the mall in DC! Brothers, this is a mess only He will solve. There were so many powerful prayers yesterday that He would take full control and turn the nation back to Him. (we used the path the DC saints were taking as a guide for our prayer, as they stopped to pray in front of each of the 7 buildings on the National Mall)
I had a strong sense that He will do what needs to be done, and it may not look at all like we suppose . . . I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship, When, at His bidding, every storm is stilled, Or who can say how great the jubilation When all the hearts of men with love are filled. But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture, And myriad, myriad human voices sing, And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer: At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King.

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Yes. The Bork nomination was the one that seemed to change things up. After that it seemed to be a game of one-upmanship, to see if one party could knock-off the nominee of the other. Yet I'm hard-pressed to remember any democratic nominee gone after with such vitriol as some GOP nominees have been - is that true?

But when a media source, pundit, or author has proved to be inaccurate, hyperbolic, incendiary, or false for their last 99 reports, then only a fool would still believe them the hundredth time. Such was the case with the Russian Collusion Hoax. It proved every source. It was a testing ground to vet each one. Some still promote such lies. All of these should be categorized as pure propaganda.

The point is, we can't go and investigate everything ourselves - the best we can do in many cases is to rely on some other person. Therefore we actually do something akin to like what happens when we watch movies - "the suspension of disbelief." That is, we have to allow ourselves the mental latitude to believe a certain amount from a source, or it can't be appreciated or taken in at all. So we make a choice on what news sources we believe, based upon how much trust we think they've historically built up. But in the end, it's just a bunch of men, yakin' about things they probably struggle with containing their bias regarding . . .

When we were young, we trusted our parents because they had our best interests in mind. They established credit with us. They were thus vetted. So we believed what they told us. Doesn't make them perfect, only makes their message true. Same with the truth of the Gospels. We believed the report of eye-witnesses who were with Jesus. These ones were proven and tested. They lived and died for their message. Their report was not challenged by other witnesses, rather only confirmed. Likewise news reporters. When a network or reporter tells us the same message for years, and then never apologizes when the story is debunked, then they lose all credit. Credit in people and their reports are slowly built up over time. The same is true with every relationship in our lives.

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
Just to bring this thread up to date, Amy Coney Barrett was made a justice on the SCOTUS yesterday with a 52-48 vote strictly along party lines (except for GOP Senator Collins who voted "no"). Biden has said he is against "packing the court" if he wins, meaning to add additional seats and fill them with his selections. But, once he gets elected, who knows . . . he might easily be swayed to do so.
BTW: I still think (as mentioned in the opening post) that Trump may have missed an opportunity here. That is, if he had come out to say he was holding off on nominating her until after the election, it might have been the better strategic, bigger picture move. I think if he had done that it would have swayed some middle-roaders, and fired-up conservatives to vote for him so she would be nominated. We'll never know now . . .

I'm not buying that waiting could have been some how be better. Today I heard about an interesting trend on Google. The top two searches were for (1) Can I change my mailed in ballot? and (2) Hunter Biden. Apparently many people just learned about the Biden "pay to play" scheme at the last debate. This investment manager Tony Bobulinski who flipped on Biden has apparently struck a nerve. The more Big Tech hides the story, the more curious people become. And Big Tech has a major censoring operation going on. Always search with DuckDuckGo!

Re: Supreme Court Opportunity
And what does this remind you of?
Just as Big Tech is running interference for the Dems, just like LSM ran interference for the Lee family. Censorship to restrict accessibility of information.

I constantly see correlations between LSM and the Democratic Media complex.

• Unintentionally produce the Streisand Effect • Promote conspiracy theories (examples: LSM- there are brothers conspiring to take over the recovery. MSM/Big Tech Media- Russia disinformation/Russia collusion) • Accuse others of what they are doing. • Gaslight • Don’t need evidence to support allegations. Feelings become a substitute for facts. • Hypocrisy- double standards is how they operate. • Seek to control information (think censorship) It’s already happening by the media tech giants concerning any negative reports on the Biden father-son tandem. Hypocrites! Just as in the local churches any negative reports on Timothy or Philip Lee were censored. • Identity politics • Lie and deceive with impunity • They tell a narrative, but not THE story • Institution over people- the “group think” reduces the individual. • No humility – pride or hatred gets in the way of saying “we were wrong”. • Lack of transparency and accountability
