Like I said the other day, we need age limits and health standards.

I'll take that bet.

Fozzy, I am sorry you are going through that. I am going to say a few things, and their only purpose is to simply say you are not alone. I have gone/still go through depression and anxiety, and I can relate to working a job I hate. The whole year 2019 was very rough on me, which led to my depression and anxiety coming to a head last fall, and I had to finally admit I needed professional help and medication. Even though I am having some success, it still is a struggle some days to get up and do my job, and I constantly fantasize about telling my boss and his boss to eff off and I quit. But

I can see before the new Congress and the inauguration, if Trump loses that there is a potential for a "spoil sport" nomination and possibly confirmation. But that goes against tradition and will make the GOP look like hypocrites. The ones who remain will want to have some ability to work within the next Congress, as well as the republicans who are left will want to distance themselves from Trump. It is possible they will rush this before the election, but I think it is more likely to wait until after.

Agree to disagree. The emotional toll fighting cancer for most people is tremendous. I am sure it affected her in some way. Point is though, she should have stepped down a long time ago. It was a selfish act to stay on that long. Had she stepped down during the Obama term, the dems would not be in this mess in the first place.

Some federal jobs have mandatory retirement already, in some cases at 65 (EG military, law enforcement). They also have minimum health standards, and that should include mental capacity. I don't think RBG was fit either by age, or physical and mental capacities for at least 15 years.

Yeah but the same republicans will throw Trump under the bus if/when he loses. Most confirmations take at least 2-3 months. Between the GOP wanting to wait until after the election the last time this happened, and the senators who are in danger of losing their seats might not want the stink of Trump on them for their own political survival, I think only the republicans too stupid to figure that out will actually push this before the election.

Not to dump on Ginsberg's legacy, but I think she is a prime example that we need to rethink SCOTUS justices being appointed for life. I think there should be an age limit, and a health requirement.

Not saying he won't. I know all that is required is a simple majority, but I don't think the Senate wants to even touch this until after the election because a lot of projections show the dems will take the senate. Those in danger of losing their seats don't want to draw attention to themselves and give another reason to vote against them.

I don't think Biden can block, nor does he need to block, anything. That sets a bad tit for tat precedent. Besides, even doing it legit means nothing will happen until after the election, anyway. Look, I hate Trump as much as you or anyone else here, but we need to allow for the Constitution to work for us without sinking to Trump's level. Trump can't pass anything right now, let alone a SCOTUS nominee.

I felt the same way about a train in Solo at first, but it looked badass. BTW, could this actually be a land/sea hovercraft, and not necessarily a boat?
