#2 The pain and suffering that she has inflicted upon herself in the last years of her life comes with the lust of power that should have been set aside years ago. Let your 'living Constitution' go. The textual Constitution is your white whale.

From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

Technology has produced great strides in taxidermy over the past 25 years or so. That wandering right eye, so lifelike.

#10 Conspiracy theory of the day. This is the perfect time for her to expire/retire. Senate Dems will do everything in their power to delay a replacement. Meanwhile, it becomes an election issue and mobilizes the Democrat base. Worst case the R's keep the Senate and she is replaced, which would happen anyway. And anything can happen between now and then. Trump might lose. Dems might pick up a Senate seat or two. It's a Hail Mary, but it's what they've got.

#11 ...do something real stupid and instigate the next civil war? If they haven't paid much attention to their urban base these last few weeks, it's not a good action when you can only count on them for stuffing the ballot box not manning the line.

#12 Senate Dems will do everything in their power to delay a replacement.

They don’t have the power — it’s a Senate-only responsibility. President Trump has a list of replacements ready, and Senator Mitch McConnell runs the judge approval process like a well-oiled machine. There will be a great deal of screaming before, during, and after the fact, though, which should impact voter turnout in the blue states.

#13 Do everything possible to keep this issue out of the mix before Nov. 3. Help the lady hang on another year.

#14 TW - Under normal circumstances, sure. If you are willing to lie, cheat and steal - who knows? They managed to delay the Kavenaugh confirmation several weeks.

#15 Sounds painful. Hope she's better.
