The fight to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg megathread

Most likely situation: Collins and Murkowski haven't decided what they would do in a hypothetical lame duck session and are just waiting to see how things develop.

I agree. They may vote yes in a lame duck, but they're keeping the option open.

I have been living this election in hope and positivity seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I am grieving, and fueled by rage and determination to burn through the next six weeks like a space vessel on reentry.

And I’m a man. You can’t imagine how the women I know are feeling.

I don't understand how Garland's seat was stolen. The guy should have gotten a hearing, but did you really think he should of been voted in?

There was no floor vote, and he likely would have won one because he was a moderate. Obama chose him and not, like, Barbara Lee because it was a compromise.

A new administration must reform the federal courts and the Supreme Court to restore legitimacy, democracy, respect for rights, and good government.

Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have no idea what you have unleashed with your behavior in the last month. The $1b raised for Democrats because Graham and McConnell danced on RBG's grave should have been an indicator of what has changed.

Remember that you guys fought Roe v. Wade for 50 years before winning. You have done what no Democrat could do - make us see that the Supreme Court is a life-or-death issue. We will mobilize and every scheissig, tendentious, boasty, ends-oriented, corrupt decision Amy Covid Barrett and Chad Kavanaugh hand down will be met with 10x the force in organization and money.

Let's just hope enough of our beloved Dem dinosaurs in the Senate open their eyes to what McConnell has done.
