Again i dont like trump especially his rhetoric about bringing pharma back from Ireland among other things such as his input on scientific matters which he clearly hasn't a clue about but the facts dont lie, the us has handled this crisis better the most whether people like it or not.

I see from the wiki page that there is a risk that although it was "coined" to be what you want it to be, there is a risk it means/is interpreted the other way. Well, sorreeee I guess it just happened with me. My answer doesn't change: I'm totally happy to follow what my doctor advises, on the basis of their medical knowledge and the scientific evidence. I'm not happy to follow someone if their advice is based on the advice of a deranged lunatic's "feeling" or "what they've heard".

At 87 you have to admire her stamina, but with all her recent health issues perhaps it might be best to hang up the robe and enjoy the time she has left. Her health issues will become a significant factor in the general election. If the Notorious RBG does retire I can see Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett, a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, to replace her. The question would be the timing of RBG’s retirement. If she retires before the general election Democrats would pitch a fit if Trump nominated someone before the election because of what happened to Merrick Garland. And the Democrats have every right to take Republicans to task over what happened.

notobtuse wrote: » I think the republicans should have at least gone through the process. Using delay tactics in the hearings they could have drug it beyond the election... that’s what democrats would have done. I think it was wrong of them to not even allowing him the process. It will come back to bite republicans in the a$$ sometime in the future... and it should. But I can somewhat understand why republicans did it. Unlike democrats who vote on their political ideals when it comes to SCOTUS picks instead of the qualifications of the nominee, republicans ultimately vote on the qualifications of the nomination. And the Senate GOP would have confirmed Garland if a vote were taken.
