Joe Biden’s Reluctance to Release SCOTUS Shortlist Complicates Fight over Ginsburg Seat

Breitbart:

Senate Democrats are readying for a protracted effort to keep the Supreme Court seat vacated by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg open until at least January, when a new administration can take office, but those plans could be hampered by former Vice President Joe Biden’s reluctance to release a shortlist of nominees for the post.

On Friday, shortly after Ginsburg’s passing was announced by Chief Justice John Roberts, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) joined a bevy of progressive activists and groups by calling forthe seat to remain vacant until the next president is installed in office.

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” the New York lawmaker wrote on social media, shortly after Ginsburg’s passing was confirmed by the press. more

And…

WATCH: Biden Demanded Supreme Court Vacancy Is Filled ‘Even A Few Months Before A Presidential Election.’

“I made it absolutely clear that I would go forward with the confirmation process, as chairman — even a few months before a presidential election — if the nominee were chosen with the Advice, and not merely the Consent, of the Senate — just as the Constitution requires.”

  2. This petrified turd only needs to be dusted and watered occasionally and then he can slobber, drool and shit his pants for the rest of his days. By the way, whatever happened to Obama’s death panels? Isn’t it about time for Pelosi and a few others to follow in RBG’s footsteps? I keep looking at my watch…

  3. I’m going to borrow heavily from that magnificent reply Tweet I saw this morning: (not going to go look for it)

    Or what? You gonna call out your BLM/Antifa minions to burn, loot and murder? Or what? You gonna have your governors shut down the busnesses and lives of their state citizens? Or what? You gonna block the Post Master General from making needed changes that will ensure everyone gets to vote? Or what? You gonna have your party lie about POTUS Trump’s nominee? Or what? You gonna try to impeach Trump again? Or what? You gonna tell everyone that Trump is Putin’s puppet? Or what? Tell me what you’re gonna do, Joe?

  4. Democrats: You have to elect us to find out what we’re going to do.
    Where have we heard that before.

    Another DA, this time in Nebraska, files murder charges against someone protecting their property and in self defense.
    And the guy that he charged, Jake Gardner committed suicdide after the fraudulent indictment came in.

    The Mccloskeys, then Rittenhouse, and now Gardner.

    BLM get a free hand to commit crime. Defending yourself from them gets criminal charges.

    The civil war must start soon.

  5. don’t know why this ‘complicates’ the matter? … other than showing a possible incoming Biden administration (God forbid!) would be totally unprepared & unable to handle any situation that may come up

  6. this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,”

    Dumb ass. We have a new president. His name is Trump, elected by the American people to serve 4 complete years to do his job and nominate justices that the senate confirms.

  7. nah, they painted themselves into a corner again. If Biden comes up with a list then he legitimizes the idea that nominees are needed before January.

    If they had been thinking this through they would release….no, DEMAND the next pick be (insert fav alphabet soup group) as next scotus judge.

  8. Turn the Ted Kennedy / Biden trashing of Bork / Thomas around on them. Except when you apply a standard, i.e. science, leftists color outside the lines on every page. And is it curious both Kennedy and Biden exited with head problems?

  9. Outdoorjohn, my middle-school friend Scott (who has passed) had a Nova with the tach on the hood. It had no seats but the driver’s seat. The rest of the “seats” were milk crates. It had no door panels. It had drilled headers that were otherwise welded shut.

    That was the fastest car I have ever been in. A true, “I will spit on the back of this hundred dollar bill and stick it to the windscreen. If you can get it, it’s yours”.

    Nobody ever got the 100 dollar bill.
