ultimate irony would be for a seat to come up in early 2020 and Trump nominate Garland. See the Dems go crazy with we can't have this, it's an election year. No new justice in an election years!
While I agree I thought it the argument was a lame duck president...
Regardless the problem that I had was that the Republicans handled it terribly from a public relations point of view. While they had a legal precedent on their side they should have tried to slow play it the whole time and just not move on it. Instead they publicly announced that they were not going to seat him. That was a bad move.
As I stated in the Opie, perhaps poorly, if he nominated Garland and the republican-controlled Senate approved in then it would make his following appointment all sleet us for the Democrats to argue. I'm just looking down the road instead of for a quick revenge like obviously a lot of posters are.

Why would Trump do that? He doesn't win anything by it. The Democrats won't suddenly play nice because of it. Leftists who hate him now will still hate him even if brought RBG back to life and put her back in her seat.
No - elections have consequences and Trump should put on the court whoever he feels best represents the philosophy he wants. You know the Democrats would do that very thing if the shoe were on the other foot.

I started this same thread a couple of weeks ago. After seeing the left pull this bullshite, I say go scorched earth.
Amy or bust. The political game is one where you MUST kick your opponent while they are down.

This isn't a bad plan honestly. Garland and Kav have been on the same side of their opinions most of the time. I would love to see this happen just to see what kind of bullshite the dem's try to pull.
Reality is Trump will never do that and really he shouldn't do that because they is not why we elected him. We voted for him so he could appoint conservative justices to the SC.
All of this.
What he should do when Buzzi leaves (retire or death) is tell the Dems that if they don't start any shite with Barrett, he will nominate Garland to replace Breyer.

Reaching Across the aisle
frick that noise. If you reach across the aisle to Dems they light you on fire then piss on your ashes. They want blood and and they'll never be satisfied with anything you give them.
Let me ask you this, do you think if all the roles were reversed with this Kav BS that any Dem would have given the Repubs a week extension with midterms so close? Do you think any Dem would have broken rank and stuck his neck out to reach across the aisle?

Oh, I've got lots more stupid than this.
Trump's way of doing business as president has been contrarian in many senses so far. By and large it's worked. Maybe this can be a deal done behind the scenes. It just popped in my head, and I put it here. Maybe I shouldn't have. Y'all are really hurting my feelings.

Garland replacing RBG would be too good to be true.

That's cute. You think Trump cares what the Dems think about him. You must not have noticed we finally have some leadership with some balls.

So, no... frick them. Amy for the win. We can't try to be fair any more and compromise with these people because they are unhinged, and would see us all dead if they could.
We've been the ones trying to be fair, and look what it's gotten us. The dims are out of control and off the fricking rails because the GOP Has been spineless and allowed it to happen. The country is at stake. The GOP needs to fight to the death if necessary.

i've actually thought he should nominate Garland to replace RBG for a while.
2 things:
Garland was an olive branch from Obama. He was lame duck and had no power in congress. he went very moderate on purpose because he wasn't getting another kagen or sotomeyer. replacing RBG with Garland would be Trump's olive branch and Garland and Kav have voted the same way 90+% of the time from my understanding.
If (but really... when) the democrats grandstand and do the same thing they've done for the last 2 nominees he can point to it and say they're only doing this for their own benefit. hook line and sinker to display their own hypocracy 3 years ago they were lamenting a fine judge like garland not getting his shot and as soon as he's nominated by somebody not named Obama, they hate him and he's terrible.
it's a win-win-win scenario. Court moves farther right, Dems are on record supporting him, RBG is gone.
and i say that as somebody who does not like her or her rulings at all, but respects her body of work.

Politics is not about reaching across the aisle. It is about winning.

Except for that whole bestiality thing in his past. It wasn't just a one time "cow love" moment of weakness.

Hell no. At the very best, Garland is an identical vote as Breyer. He may throw a bone every now and then on a religious liberty case. But very narrowly. I'd stay away from any and all wylie candidates.

Let's say that Trump replaces RBG with Garland. Great! The Dems are relatively happy because it could be worse. But what happens when the next one is up for replacement and Trump wants Amy Barrett or another very conservative justice? You think the left is going to just give in because of Garland? Of course they won't. They will treat the nominee like Kavenaugh or worse. It's their nature. They are scorpions.
