Sen. Mitch McConnell falls twice at the Capitol

[GolfHacker1]

Well here is more after refreshing my memory of reading Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution about Exec Powers.

The president has the power to nominate supreme court justices. It is also stated that "The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate" Now back then recesses might be a month or two long so a strict reading of the Constitution should agree with a rather quick process to fill a scotus vacancy. I dont think anyone can argue that. There is no logical way on Earth that it would or should take 9 months for the Senate to interview and confirm a scotus nominee.

And just before the recess nomination part of Article Section 2 it states that He being the president "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court,"

So the US Constitution states that the Senate's job is to advise and consent on the nominations of the president of people to the Supreme Court. So to do that job the Senate has to perform some sort of advise and consent as in voting for the nominee. Mitch McConnell held back and did neither of those things with the help of Grassley who was Judiciary Comm Chair. It was a terrible stain on them but of course they do not care that they evaded their duties.

But Mitch M stonewalled the process and the process of the rules of the Senate are they are supposed to confirm or deny the appointment, once again not doing their job and even blocking procedure.

I know all this. You still haven’t answered the questions. Good practice for you on Google searches though.

So you still say that McConnell did his job on the Garland nomination? I proved there is verbiage in the Constitution that the Repub Senate was suppose to interview, advise and vote on Garland. It is written that that is their duty and if you cant fathom that then I feel very sorry for your narrow view of things.

And you still haven’t answers one of my questions. Your posts are evolving though.

They didn’t want Beshear appointing a Dem. Just like Massachusetts Dems took the power away from Governor Romney so he couldn’t appoint a Republican and then gave the power back to the governor’s office when Deval Patrick took over for Romney.

Apology accepted. I was right. TJ'ing this into something about Romney doesn't change the fact that I was right.
You are welcome.

Every night, when she is sober, Kim Reynolds gets on her knees and says her prayers hoping that Chuck expires and she gets to name his replacement.

I suspect there has already been a conversation between the Chuckster and the Dim One on his replacement.
Grassley is on record saying he might step down before his term is up so a Republican Governor could appoint a successor.

I’ll never understand why we allow our great grandparents to run this country.

Uihawk: 1. Golfboy: 0. That crooked invalid creep McConnell will rot in hell for that totally political hack of a decision. And all the Senate Republicans knew it was shameful and cringeworthy at the time. But they did it anyway. So sad. So shameful.

JFC the Nazis were extreme right wing fascists. Hated immigrants, Jews, minorities, gays, hyper embraced a wacko religious ideology that they were the chosen people of God. Just because they put socialist in the name of their party did not make them actual socialists. Dictatorship.
