There are so many scenarios never before seen in politics brewing here.

1. What if she's brain dead in a coma on 1/1/20?  She's not dead and didn't resign, so I assume the election year rule will apply. Almost a bizarro world Terry Schiavo setup.

2. Did Johnson or Clinton have any appointments confirmed which they were under impeachment? What about Nixon during Watergate?

There won't be one until either she is released, dies, or has been missing for over a week. Anything indicating frailness is downplayed as it does not give with the mythos they have crafted around her.

I believe the status will be no matter what she is “alive”. Hook a pace maker up, force air for breathing, run a circulatory pump for constant dyalasis, and see how long you can animate a corpse. I expect they could keep her going until after the election at this point, even if she was rotting a bit.

If she's in a coma, she'll be removed from office due to incapacitation to perform her official duties.

2. Did Johnson or Clinton have any appointments confirmed which they were under impeachment? What about Nixon during Watergate?
No, because none were submitted or required.

My wife goes through this quite often.. she got sepsis from a hip surgery. Her immune system is weak from cancer and she has gotten c diff.
So she gets a fever and chills we go to the ER and they treat her with intravenous antibiotics..

At RBG’s age eventually an infection will kill her is my guess..
My wife only in her 50’s is still strong enough to survive these infections.
Anyone medical professionals in the room care to correct me if I am incorrect. I would appreciate it..
I’ve only got a learn as I go MD...

The so called “election rule” is relatively new and applies to a President in his second term. A first term president prior to the election is not a lame duck president.

Democrats are lying by omission when they invoke the “election rule.”

If you are referring to the "Biden Rule" it's not a rule; more of an unspoken gentlemen's agreement.  However, much has changed since 2016 and there are no more gentlemen's agreements.  Both sides are going scorched earth from now on.  We better not pull any punches because they certainly are not.

Exactly.  They will kick and scream the Republicans are applying a double standard to Trump, but if she kicks it even in March-June next year.. The Pres is still perfectly within the rules to seat someone.

It's important that we get this message out on social media, because the MSM will be working hard to convince the voters that Trump can't appoint in an election year.

I was thinking about this over coffee this am. What may have happened is that her stent got plugged and/or infected and that's why she had to be transferred to Hopkins.
The stent replacement procedure is fairly specialized and JH is probably better set up to do that.

And thanks for the correction above regarding biomarkers for PNET, I didnt know that. Was only familiar with CA19-9 because of my father.

They can kick & scream all they want; won't change anything.  AFAIK the Senate judiciary is only required for wait 7 days before sending a nomination to the whole senate for confirmation.  The opposition can request an additional 7 days, which they usually do.

Schiff shutdown all opposition requests in his recent circus and don't doubt for a moment that the favor would be returned.

I call on RBG to stick to her support for saving the environment by setting the thermostat in her house and office to federal energy guidelines and do the American people and the global community a solid.

“For winter, the ideal thermostat temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit when you're at home. Energy.gov suggests setting the thermostat to this suggested temperature at home while you're awake and lowering it while you're asleep or away.”

64 degrees should do the trick at night.
