On how Senate Republicans and President Trump should proceed after the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Neal Katyal says, "I think it would be 100% inappropriate for President Trump to try and nominate someone.

  1. Grit and determination. All of government needs to step forward for what’s right, not for sensationalism. No measure can be spared in the mission to wipe Mitch’s grin off his face.

    1. It is the Presidents job to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat. How is that taking advantage? It is his job that is why we elected him.

    2. No no no he can’t remember Mitch McConnell said you can’t nominate a Supreme Court judge during an election year lol

    1. I hope Mitch McConnell gets off his butt and gets a replacement in the supreme court before the election. To bad Trump cant find a way to use executive orders to move it along faster. Congress and senate quibble over which of their pet projects and contributors get Wuhan money while Trump passes executive orders to get unemployed extended benefits. Trump 2020 for the common people.

    1. @LONE WOLF that’s horrible. Bunch of cussing about nothing.
      Has nothing to do with this video or these comments.

    1. and may the hoax be finally exposed. never forget, right? Very very good news indeed. Real truth be told, she sleeps with her father satan tonight. There is a God! Praise Jesus Christ our Lord, who they tortured and murdered in cold blood.

    1. @Navigator USCG lol you Trump supporters are The Minority (But also Reality challenged so you would not know)
      More people are Left/Central than Right, and the Extreme idiots are the Flat earthers Richt wingers Cult like Supporters of that fermented old Clown running USA into the ground.

    2. @Hazel Em
      <----- Beating the Same Drum as All Leftist, Socialist, Globalist, Illuminati, NWO, Deep State, Pedowood, MSM Propaganda Ministers for the past 4 years - and it all has been for not. Indictments aren't going so well either for the left, neither is exposure to all the lies being told about Trump. Time to put your masks on like Big Brother Nanny State (Dem Govs and Mayors) tells you to. Ha-Haa.

    1. I honestly don’t care if McConnel breaks his word about election years. As long as abortion gets made illegal (hopefully by death penalty) then anything else can be thrown away. I’m just glad the old hag had the good sense to kick the bucket when Trump was president. A great day all around. #MAGA2020 #DOWNWITHROE

    1. She was an epically patriotic hero to so many of the underserved and underheard. Her light and guidance will be missed.

    1. I’m not so sure all Republicans would go along with it. Collins and Romney may have a conscience, and hopefully one other.

    2. @Jock Young grassley actually said 2months ago that if there were a vacancy before the election the senate should follow 2016 rules the gop put in place and not consider until the election is over. 🤞

  2. THE WOMEN IS AN ICON, TO USA…AT LEAST LET US MORN, THE WOMEN…SHE GAVE HER LIFE TO THE LAW, EQUAL JUSTICE, HONOR, TO USA..96-3 NOMINATION..RIP- RBG…

    1. NOTHING will rally ALL Dems and any left of center voters more than Trumputin attempting to pack the SC weeks before the election. Repugs know that and DON’T WANT to stir up even more support for Biden. Besides, Dems will 100% NOT allow any hearings at this point, no matter who Trumpster wants. Nobody from either party will take time out to deal w the court in the middle of a heated election contest. Dictator Trumputin and Moscow McTurtle are just SOL, that’s all there is to it lol.

    2. @pc – Will Merit Garland do? I’m sure nobody would oppose him. Even then, NO time for any hearings and confirmation votes until WELL AFTER President-Elect Biden is sworn in. Be patient folks, a great new PROGRESSIVE SC Justice is on the way.
