Lisa Benson for September 21, 2020

Does this mean that Lisa thinks she knows more about the Constitution than Ruth Bader Ginsburg did?

Never mind what the Repubs said. Their words are meaningless.

Someone please provide the link to the cartoon(s) where Lisa Benson called out #MoscowMitch for rejecting Obama’s right to make a Supreme Court nomination ELEVEN MONTHS out, or else just admit that this uneducated, uninformed airhead is so far out of her league that she would have more credibility taking over the Little Lulu or Nancy and Sluggo strips.

Benson finished high school and then decided she didn’t need college. Such is the right wing arrogance of those including Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Hannity, and Glenn Beck, none of whom graduated college, but think that watching a Q-Anon video on YouTube makes them Constitutional Scholars, compared to the PhDs, Rhodes Scholars, Harvard grads, etc over at MSNBC.

No wonder Trump loves the uneducated.

(Maybe Lisa, Limbaugh, Alex, Hannity and Beck would have done better if Daddy could have afforded to pay someone to take their SAT’s for them.)

Wow! Lisa is projecting so hard, I can feel the pain she inflicted to herself from here!

Contact your Senators. Many said there should not be hearings close to an election. Remember 2016 and Merrick Garland? Email. Postcsrds. Call. Info available online. Shame on Lisa.

If the GOP cared at ALL about what the Constitution said, trump would be in jail already, having been impeached and removed from office, so that his supposed ‘presidential immunity’ would no longer be protecting him from the SDNY.

Lisa and the other Trump Disciples use the Constitution exactly like they use the Bible.

They cherry pick any parts they like and ignore all the rest.

.

They are both weapons used to punish Those People and to rationalize doing so.

I can hardly wait for the Genie to pop out on November 3rd to grant three wishes. The House, The Senate and The White House.

Funny, that’s what Mitch McConnell said.

The Republicans have proven unconclusively that they are lying hypocrites.

If the Republicans had not denied Garland a vote, there would be no issue right now. They did. They set the precedent. Now they are trying to backtrack. This is on nobody but them, particularly Mitch.

If the USA used the democratic process of ‘representation by population’ , the republicans would have a hard time being in power.. Ever!

This is particularly inappropriate and repugnant.

Tell that to McConnell and the rest of the Republicans. Hypocrisy defined here.

we’ll all be smiling at you, lisa, when your PINO goes down in november…

Trump shreds the Constitution every day.

I’m telling you, donate to Amy McGrath, we need her to pudh McConnell out.

We used to claim the US Senate was the greatest debating congress in the world. If Mitch McConnell had left the 60 vote requirement in place, we would not need this onerous debate. Why not take a piece of his hide, Lisa?

Ms. Benson joins the stupid clique of Reichwing cartoonists. Absolute garbage cartoon showing Ms. Benson has swallowed a gallon of hydroxychloroquine bleach koolaid and any political perversion by the Rethuglicons is acceptable to her.

Suddenly the Constitution matters to you Lisa?! You didn’t seem to care in 2016 when Moscow Mitch crapped all over it.

Did anyone expect one iota of respect for Justice Ginsburg from Lisa Benson?

Don’t you think it’s a bit premature to dump on the dead? Of course, I understand your bitterness, Ms. Benson; Justice Ginsberg, a woman, displayed courage, conviction, and conscience. I daresay few would say that about you.

Apparently you’ve conveniently forgotten 2016.

Lisa believes that whats good for the goose isn’t good for the gander.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Also what exactly was your opinion last time this happen. Did you think Obama’s pick for Scalia’s seat should have gotten a hearing?

OK, we have established that Republicans lie. Is this a news flash for anyone? And, if so, as Bernie asked a lady “On which planet do you spend most of your time?”

At long last Lisa admits to no decency or shame.

And did the Republicans pull this crap in 2016? Yes they certainly did ! Hypocritical S O B’S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norms are for chumps!

The “can we do” vs. the “should we do”:

Republican intransigence on judicial nominees during the Obama administration led Senate democrats to eliminate the “judicial filibuster”. Democrats rue that decision in light of the far right wing and often unqualified Trump judicial nominees. In our genteel past, the opposition party might reject a questionable judicial appointee, but by and large allow the President’s choices.

But under Obama that changed. (Such a political moderate. I wonder what was different about him?) Remember Kurge from the Search for Spock who denies a request from Capt. Kirk. The request is humanitarian and essentially innocuous to the Klingons. When Kirk asks why, Kurge replies “Because you wish it”. That’s how Republicans treated Obama. That’s how they treated Merrick Garland’s nomination.

But Garland’s case was not naked obstruction, it was the announcement of a new norm! When the Presidential election is less than a year away, let’s let the new president handle it. A quaint and superficiality reasonably should, now tossed in the trash in favor of their “can” they plan to shove up our backsides.

Maybe Hypocritical Republicans need some DC statehood, or 15 Supremes shoved up their proverbial wingwang. . .

At the very least, every last one of these ba$tards should suffer the rejection of their electorate. But between now and then, they should do some hard thinkin’ on “the can vs. the should”, because Karma is indeed a you know what. . .

It’s always nice to get fresh interpretations of the Constitution from someone who’s never read it.

Ms. Benson, RBG won a landmark case that gave YOU and other women better protections under the law, and apparently she fought for those protections for you and other women her whole life, even though you disagree with her. Your cartoon here shows inappreciativeness, and I think it is inappropriate.

“what god wants, god gets”. Ooops… did i say “god”, i meant trump

Poor little lazy Lisa who forgot the name Merrick Garland and what the constitution says the Senate should have done. Too busy supporting the GOP agenda I guess.

Freedom of Speech. 1st Amendment. Right there at the top. Benson, conservatives like you who only use the Constitution when it benefits you, are enemies of the U.S.A.

The only real question is who will be the greater scum today — Benson, Lester, or Pain.

HYPOCRISY has spread throughout the Repulsican Crime Cult like a 21st-century plague. Oh lord, what has our country become? VOTE BLUE if THE ORANGE PARASITE hasn’t taken that privilege from you. (He’s working hard at it using the Putin Plan.)

Lisa, you need to relinquish your woman card. This is one of the ugliest examples of sour grapes I’ve ever seen. You won’t ever even reach the moral height of RBG’s shoes. Give it up and go back to the rock you crawled out from under.

Please contribute to the campaign of the opponents of lying hypocrites.

And where was a similar cartoon 4 years ago when Turtleboy McConnell refused to allow Obama’s nomination to be considered?You can’t have it both ways! Once again we see a double standard where nothing but what the Repubicans find convenient matters.

Merrick Garland, 2016.

Doesn’t matter: McConnell is already preparing a narrative for why the “McConnell Rule” no longer applies.

She can wish all she wants – It has no bearing. The President’s job is to put forth a nominee and the Senate’s job is to advise and consent (or not). The Senate can hold hearings if they want, but while that’s been the norm, it’s not required. The dems will probably go full Kavanaugh on whomever is nominated, so the hearings will probably happen as neither party wants to miss that. Looking forward to the upcoming shite show. At least the next SCOTUS Associate Justice will be a woman, so maybe the left will consider that a silver lining./s

“Never mind &c. &c.”—exactly what Mitch McConnell had in mind when Obama nominated Garland. Only Moscow Mitch didn’t mention the Constitution, which for the GOP is an irrelevant old scrap of paper.

Ms. Benson, do you seriously expect us to believe that you had this same point of view when McConnell disregarded the Constitution after Justice Scalia died in 2016?

1: What the constitution says is “there will be a supreme court” (I’m paraphrasing). Not a word about size or schedule. Not. One. Word.

2: I wish that Lisa would get a less tenuous grasp of reality. Does my wish in any way impact Lisa’s job, performance or political stance? Should it? What RBG wished is something some of us might want to honor, because she was a fine person, and we’re honorable. What the less honorable choose to do (within the rules) has nothing to do with the constitution. As Lisa SURELY knows. And ignores.

Unfortunately for the Republican’ts the writing is on the wall. They have little support in the age cohorts under 40, the fastest-growing religious segment is the “nones”, the whites in the US have the lowest birth rate [even less white supremacists as time passes], society is becoming more educated and more racially/ethnically diverse, so their base is evaporating. Their only refuge is the unethical, hypocritical act of nominating a justice during a presidential election that is already in process. Desperation is all they feel!

Way to go, Benson, putting words into the mouth of the dead. An American tradition.

Precisely. There is no Final Wish clause.

It’s not about what is Constitutional- it’s about fairness.

Lisa Benson is a disrespectful bitch

I guess I just don’t understand what you’re trying to say Ms. Benson…is it okay to ignore the constitution when there is a democrat president? Or…do you think that you know more about the US Constitution than RBG?

Funny sh*t Lisa

Should McConnell forget precedent that he, himself set? I get it he will act as though 2016 never happened.
