They are? I thought they were of Dutch lineage and evangelicals?

Never heard that they were Jewish. Where did you get that idea?
Because they have a German sounding last name?
... or because they are rich?

Edit:
Yeah, i looked it up, the Koch family are definitely crackers....

In 1927, Koch developed a more efficient thermal cracking process for turning crude oil into gasoline which allowed smaller players in the industry to better compete with the oil majors.

Koch partnered with William Rhodes Davis to build the third-largest oil refinery serving the Third Reich, a project which was personally approved by Adolf Hitler.[15] The refinery was significantly important, for it was one of the few refineries in Germany that could produce the high octane fuel needed for fighter planes.[16] Koch President and COO David L. Robertson acknowledged that Winkler-Koch provided the cracking unit for the 1934 Hamburg refinery...

All pistol cal carbines now have a 5 round max in canada and we can buy them in 9mm as well. Criminals will remove the preventer pins anyway.

The issue in canada isnt legal gun owners or their legally purchased arms its the police and courts inability to have any effect on actual gun crime.

Agreed, she was a remarkable woman.

But apparently many of her leftist followers don't share our sentiments.

A truly remarkable person that will be sorely missed.

But her followers need not worry, Moscow Mitch has earlier been very clear in expressing his conviction that there should be no appointments to the Supreme Court in an election year; that the voters must have their say. I’m sure he will stay firm on this.

McConnell has maintained, however, that Garland's confirmation was unique in that the Senate and executive branch were controlled by different parties. That isn't the case in the wake of Ginsburg's death.

“In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise,” McConnell continued. “Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.”

McConnell added that “by contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.”

“Once again, we will keep our promise,” he said. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

Sounds like somebody misunderstood Mr McConnell.

As you said Per, "the voters must have their say".

Did you see not my link in the other thread to lefties reacting in similar fashion online when the news broke?

People are losing their shit over this!

This is a HUGE deal in America and the timing couldn't have been worse better.

Thousands are threatening to burn Congress if "My orange hero" installs a new judge before the election.

Well he will... and he should!

To all those nutso anarchists/pinkos down there I say...

Deal with it you godless morons, Ginsburg's death was an act of God!
