It would really be useful if you would actually read occasionally. Maybe posting too close to IB is affecting you.Why do I feel like I'm pulling teeth to get you to criticize the Dems?
For the multipleth time: The DEMs were wrong then, the REPs are wrong now. Is that simple and straight forward enough for you? If I was posting back then about this topic, I would complain about Biden's behavior the same way. Yes, I am saying the bar should be raised back where it was because it is the right thing to do: hold the hearing and see if the nominee is worthy or not. If not, do not confirm.
The REPs are just following the sleazy things the DEMs did--see, I am criticizing BOTH, or is that too hard to read?

You're asking a helluva lot here. You want the Reps to reverse the Dems' bad behavior because “it is the right thing to do”. Just put the Dem nominee on the SCOTUS this time and there will be no Dem bad behavior next time around. Uh-huh. Silly me! Why do I think the responsibility to raise the bar back up should fall on the folks who lowered it in the first place? Why do I doubt the sincerity of those who did sleazy things in the past but promise not to be just as sleazy in the future?
And why do I feel like Charlie Brown when I ask these questions?

FYI, Justice Roberts was nominated for three separate positions before he ever received a hearing, and was granted that hearing, because the dim-retards weren't in control of the Senate anymore. Originally Posted by I B Hankering
Since the liberals perceive themselves to be more "intelligent" and "informed," it is easily assumed they made the legally and philosophically correct decision regarding "late term" appointments during the Bush administration(s), and as a consequence the conservatives are making the legally and philosophically correct decision regarding "lateR term" appointments during the Obama administration(s),For the most part I leave screaming to others, but yes, I objected to not holding hearings back then also.
BUT, of course, Liberals have an obsession of requiring of others:
"Don't do as I do, do as I say, even when I say not to do what I've already done!"
For instance: Was "Old-T" screaming bloody murder when the Liberals were withholding affirmations? Originally Posted by LexusLover

"Stop those bad HS kids, they don't play fair! They THINK. Make them stop, mommy! It isn't my fault I was born without a real brain."

The biggest thing I do not like about Garland is that he has wanted to be on the Supreme Court his whole life. Why is it all about him?
America needs people truly willing to sacrifice for the common good, not bring themselves glory.
However, Garland may be the last straight white man a Democrat ever nominates. Originally Posted by DSK
