Kennedy Leaving SCOTUS

[Max E.]

C'mon now, you make it sound like Republicans would be above using it for the first time if they could get a SCOTUS in.

Well probably not......... in this environment where everything comes down to a onesided vote, but the fact of the matter is the democrats chose to open this jar, and now its about to bite them in the ass.

Actually, only 50 votes are required. Vice President Pence, who is the President of the Senate, would cast the tie-breaking vote. I think there is a lot of fear-mongering going on by the Democrats. We don't know how Chief Justice Roberts or Justice Gorsuch will vote on a challenge to Roe v. Wade. We also don't know how the new nominee to the court will vote. I'm sure precedence and "settled law" will be factors in the decision making process.

Pence is not the “President” of the Senate.

Pence is not the “President” of the Senate.

President of the United States Senate. As President of the Senate (Article I, Section 3, Clause 4), the vice president has two primary duties: to cast a vote in the event of a Senate deadlock and to preside over and certify the official vote count of the Electoral College.

Wish i could give you two likes on this one, but under senate rules, that Harry Reid set, i will just wait till pence votes in the 5th conservative justice of the supreme court.

Its strange how even my broken understanding of the senate from canada, which comes from years of trading U.S. stocks..... and living in the U.S. still "Trumps" any understanding you have.

You should read up on the unprecedented filibusters that year. Will enlighten you some.

Google "Precedent"

It is not precedent when its different postions the rules were changed for.

What will be enlightening is the GOP losing the Senate and the House come November 6.

"From what you've read" you came the the simple majority conclusion? Brilliant.

They dont even need 51 votes, they only need 50, the Vice president or the speaker makes the decision if its 50/50, from what ive read.

This is the ultimate burn to democrats, they decided to choose the nuclear option and now they cant do anything to stop it, the ultimate irony.

The GOP was obstructionist and filibustered every nomination. It was Reid's only hope of moving judges through the system.

You shouldn't have "liked" my post if you're such an expert. Hatch is the acting Pres, hence "Pro Tempore"
