In reply to the discussion: Democrats should not delay Amy Coney Barrett's nomination. Let it proceed. [View all]Warpy
(113,131 posts)all the GOP had to do was threaten a filibuster and a nominee was withdrawn. Democrats need to follow McConnell's playbook of dirty procedural tricks to run out the clock. They need to put holds on, stall, demand paperwork, and pull every one of his rotten tricks until he screams "uncle!" and holds everything while he tries to get the Senate to change their rules to make all his rubbish illegal.
The House needs to start investigating his dirty deals that benefit his wife. Tie him up there.
Exploratory committees into impeaching USSC justices who have failed to recuse themselves even when the conflict of interest was egregious (Thomas with cases brought by his wife's organization, for instance).
Since McConnell won't allow real Senate hearings on this twit, try her in the press, pointing out her unsuitability for the job because of her age and lack of experience, not to mention that she's a Christian doormat who won't wipe her ass without her husband's permission and her rulings would therefore be extremely suspect unless they vet him for the job.
I don't care what they do, they just need to fight this. I don't know if people have noticed, but our country is being stolen out from under us. It's time to fight back. Hard.
