No story yet, just a headline on my Bloomberg terminal.
This is not a joke.
Well at least we get another one in while we can, hopefully RBG goes next, and we can keep a solid foot in the door.

We are about to see a war of epic proportions in government as the swamp and dems attempt deny Trump a pick he wants.
I forget how long these things take. Will it be done by the election? Or I assume we want it done by the election. We get a non-flaky 2A guy in and things look up.
Oh, there is a story already, at least on NBC news reporting from DC live.
“This could mean the end to abortions”
There have been hits at this for some time now.
This could be huge for conservatives.
There will be a huge fight, the dems will tear into the next nominee like you never seen.
There is also Ruth Bader Buzzy Ginsberg, she is older than Kennedy. Let me dream just a bit, two more conservative Justices to make 7 out of 9 ! I can dream can’t I?
Probably won’t be done by the mid-terms, but if this doesn’t get Republicans out to vote during the mid-terms nothing will.
Yep, and Stephen Breyer is no spring chicken either. The problem is that I don’t see either of them voluntarily leaving while Trump is in office.
Why not nominate someone immediately? Do you have to wait until Kennedy is out the door?
Retirement is effective July 31. Ted Cruz for SCJ!
Unfortunately, nothing is gonna happen until after the midterms, at which point Uncle Chuckie will stonewall all of Trumps picks, just like Droopy Dog did, so that SCOTUS can Feel the Bern in '20.
Trump has a list of 20 or so potential nominees. Mitch McConnell said they will try to vote before the mid term.
I’ve been reliably informed that Cruz’s dad was involved with killing JFK. Would it really be appropriate for Cruz to replace a different Kennedy?
The difference between Garland and now is that Trump will actually back his nominees. Trump will nuclear option them if he has too. IIRC, recess appointments can work for SCOTUS- or that was mentioned for Garland by the fringe.
Yep, that was the plan with Garland.

Trump could say that you either vote before the midterms or I appoint him and we can vote after the election. Don’t vote on my nominations, and I shut down the govt.
The New Republic says that is Kosher…
Garland isn’t on the court because they thought they could get RBGII++++ with Hillary in office.
Now someone has to put a bug in Thomas’ ear about stepping down.
Rush Limbaugh thinks the new strategy of the left will be, “Let’s not confirm any more nominees until we know what Mueller’s probe is going to reveal.”
A lot of good things are being drown out by the shrill screaming from the left.
Two major wins through the SCOTUS this week, the NORKS and now the Russians sitting down to negotiate. Tax cuts have helped. The market has gained and lost, but is still up and the jobs and economy are better.
The left however are losing their grip and going full Socialist and calling for violence against POTUS Trips cabinet members right before the mid terms.
There is a major difference between a SCOTUS nomination in a mid-term election and. Presidential election. Tuff luck Chuck.
Simple answer… hell yes. Got to love Democrat on Democrat crime… not much better than that.
Bitch McConnel said the vote will be this fall. My assumption is he means prior to the election.
They should. They got F***ed over twice the last time. What goes around comes around.
