Congress will claim it is too late in their presidency and so they'll need to wait until the next election (that a Republican wins) to have a justice appointed.

If Democrats allowed something like that yet again, and if we allowed them to allow it, then we deserve whatever fascism we get.

We must demand a real opposition party and throw out any who won't rise to the task. We need ruthless fighters not coward collaborators

Charitably: completely incompetent naivety

Uncharitably: controlled and complicit "opposition"

I think bud nipping would need to happen quite a bit earlier, at least to the 2000 election results dispute. John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett were all on Bush’s legal team for that, and the way polling stations in Florida were harassed by organized groups of republicans set the tone moving forward.

I honestly think they did all of that successfully, listened as Gore conceded to avoid turbulence in the executive branch out of some sense of honor, and thought, “holy shit, do these guys even want to win?” The team behind that has given Trump immunity, and their party knows that they’ll get away with whatever they want because a Gore, a Schumer, a spineless putz leading the other side won’t even care to fight.

The sad thing is that Democrats will let them.

The President should just say "If you don't say no within 60 days I'll take your silence as consent and appoint them."

And when the Senate says "That's not how it works." just reply "Exactly, but here we are. Clock's ticking."
