Scalia dead

[Danzig]

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.
