I'm not sure Republicans get this, but the people already had a say in the Supreme Court

Now remember these words of yours dandh, because when the roles reverse (and they will), I don't want you to be screaming bloody-murder and all that stuff. It is quite evident the GOP is going to do what they think and want the Constitution to say....even though it doesn't.
The story incorrectly says the Bork nomination was filibustered. It was not. But other than that, it's pretty accurate, I think.
As I said when Scalia died, it's ridiculous for either side to accuse the other of hypocrisy in this matter.
So now we have Chuck Schumer, and even more to the point, Joe Biden saying the President should not nominate a candidate for SCOTUS during an election year. And today, Joe Biden is criticizing McConnell for saying what he said in 1992.
Yes, both parties pull this crap. Can we end at least that part of the argument?
To a point I will agree. However, that does not change what the GOP has come out and said. In short, the "Party of the Constitution" does not support the document unless it says what they want it to say.
Lmao, when the right wing mind lacks intelligence and perspective, the only reason for it is retardation.
I voted for a GOP Senate and I want what I voted for as well.
So, does the constitution say that the Senate must confirm any particular SCOTUS nominee? Does it say that the Senate must hold confirmation hearings for any potential nominee?
As I said 86....remember these times 'cause things have a way of coming back on you. It (the Constitution) also says the POTUS MUSY nominate a SXC candidate....it says nothing about "election year" exceptions. When you're POTUS, you gotta POTUS. I am sure Obama will POTUS. I don't think the Senate is capable of doing Senate things, however.
Ciggy & Huey & WWJD, read it and weep.

Says the girl that has no real profile picture of herself. Good job tough girl! I must remind you of your last boyfriend that dumped you.
It doesn't. Advice and consent, which includes telling a President prior to a nomination what candidates will or will not be confirmed, which can also include telling a president that no one you nominate will receive our consent.
Do Democrats support the Constitution? Because your statement makes it sound like they don't.
It also happened when they elected enough GOPers into the Senate. Yes, elections have consequences. 1992. 2007.
Pretty much correct I will say. I want Obama the hell out of our lives. Can't wait.
Show me when a Dem Senate has ever refused to vet/interview a SC nominee sent forth to them by either a D or R POTUS?
It's already been provided that Joe Biden called for fit. Now until the GOP actually does not entertain any of Obama's nominees, you can stop saying they did. It hasn't happened yet. It's only talk at this point, just like Biden and Schumer.
Well, yesterday, Sen. McConnell announced there was "not a snowballs chance in hell" the Judiciary Committee will hold hearings before the next POTUS is sworn in. Sen. Grassley said pretty much the same thing. This was not said on the Senate floor, but in pressers.
Just listen to yourself. At this point, it's all talk, just like with Biden and Schumer. Be outraged if/when it actually happens.
Show me when a Republican actually refused. We're talking about going through with the threat. Bot parties have threatened.
Well, when the majority leader and the committee chair makes statements that it isn't going to happen...at some point don't you have to start believing what they say?
No, you're not. Has Obama nominated someone? Has the GOP refused to vet that nominee? It's a pretty simple concept, but you can't seem to grasp it. Yes, they said they will refuse. Just like Biden and Schumer. They have yet to actually refuse. Stop for a few, and think this through.
When Biden said it, should we have believed it? Or said, that's just ole Joe.
Do I think the GOP will follow through on their threat? Probably. Which would be wrong, IMO. But until they do, they haven't done anything that Biden and Schumer haven't already said/done.
Joe was speaking of the hypothetical. The situation he referenced was a hypothetical..it was not "real" and actual. The responses being given by McConnell and Grassley are in real time and not hypothetical.
But you are correct...we shall see. However, I do believe Brassley is too old to serve effectively...and he is full of sh^t.
