The obstreperous republicans at it again. But hey, why let the eighth year be any different than the other seven?

Oh, what short memories the Democrats have:

Obviously what schumer proposed was wrong. I no more agree with his take then than i do mcconnells now.
Also, schumers idea was a hypothetical-what mcconnell is suggesting is REAL. There is NO reason to expect the scotus to be short for a year. The voters did get to choose the president who would make this selection, remember?

On what constitutional basis can there be a delay?

And do note, re schumer...


'A White House spokeswoman, Dana Perino, said Schumer's comments show "a tremendous disrespect for the Constitution" by suggesting that the Senate not confirm nominees.'

And mcconnell didnt suggest a thing.

Oh, I agree that the president has every right to nominate a candidate justice, and the Senate has the right to set the hearing date, or not.

Same as if there was a Republican president and a Democrat Senate.

Now it would be best if there was a compromise, but the president said that he most likely would not choose a moderate, so exhortations to give him exactly who he wants will likely fall on deaf ears.

Ideally there is an acceptable candidate for both sides, moderate, who by definition would not be politicized since this is judicial work. It gets this off the to do list and removes it as a constant distraction.

There is a huge misperception out there about the Supreme Court. Most people think that the majority of cases that go to the Supreme Court end up being decided by a bare 5-4 majority along party lines. That is completely false. That rarely happens. Over the past few years, around 70% of the cases were decided by a unanimous vote. It is rare that the vote is 5-4, and when it is, it is rarely on party lines. There were only 4 cases out of the last 72 cases that were decided by a 5-4 vote that went along party lines.

how does one compromise with a group who says 'we will approve no one'?

[Pants II]

The RINOs have been compromising for 7 years and a month due to the pigment of the moron in chief's skin which is fanned by the media which is predominantly owned by people who hate the working class. Especially the white Christian working class.

There should be zero compromise. The President didn't dress accordingly for his propaganda presser. He gives zero ****s about white America. And of course he'll use a minority nominee to guilt the cuckservatives.

Most of us regular Joes are sick of this horseshit. It's a slow white genocide. Period.
