Which one of those things is tyrannical? How are you proposing that someone is being "installed"?
So you've changed your mind and don't think the Senate will follow the constitution. You're very changeable.
Sure we do, the side in power who are refusing to do the job. That's who is wasting money.
The left considers all money spent on making things to defend America a waste.
They also consider all welfare spent on making Democrat voters not a waste.
One of those is considerably cheaper. Ds just know a bargain.The left considers all money spent on making things to defend America a waste.

It's been done for 200 years. Numerous Presidential nominees never even receive hearings let alone formal votes because there is no possibility they will ever be confirmed. In US History there have been 29 unsuccessful Supreme Court nominees. Only 12 were formally rejected by a full Senate vote. The others received no action or were forced to be withdrawn for various reasons. The most recent examples are Harriet Miers in 2005 and Doug Ginsburg in 1987.
There is this modern misconception that the President's nominee should simply be rubber stamped by the Senate unless he/she is clearly unqualified. That is just another modern mis-interpretation of what was actually intended. The Constitution makes it pretty clear that the executive branch and the legislative branch are 50/50 equal partners in the process as a check and balance on the other.

One defends freedom. The other requires tyranny. Only a loony lefty could think Marxism is a bargain.
Our military subsidizes what you call marxism all around the globe. The US military is the biggest reason socialism is viable. You want to beat back socialism? Cut the military by 90% and it will go away. We pay for the socialism enjoyed by the reset of the world by keeping the world safe. You are the biggest welfare queen advocate on the planet.
He can nominate as much as his little heart desires. HOWEVER-----------It is the Senate who has to CONFIRM any justice put up by president. Case closed
Yes, that is laughable, but we all agree we want to follow it now. The constitution says the President shall nominate. So you must agree the Rs are wrong to suggest he shall not. You're with the Ds on this issue this time.
They are only following Senate Resolution 334, enacted in 1960 by the Democrats, when they blocked a SCOTUS appointment by Eisenhower.
