Supreme Court Nominee

Obama can nominate one.
The Senate can ignore it.
The people can laugh at the childish shits.

Kennedy was the third nominee from 1987, and Bork had been the first, right, eatbibeau? Guess you'd be a little bit on the hypocritical side if you still wanna talk about "fairness" after you consider what the dim-retards did to Bork, right, eatbibeau? BTW, eatbibeau, W was still president with 18 months left to serve when Schumer advocated blocking any W nominations.

I fail to see which of these videos shows them refusing to even give a nominee a hearing... talk is cheap, action is different. But the proof is in the pudding... Let's not pretend that the democrats have actually done this any time recently. Originally Posted by eatfibo

Lemme get this straight, fido. So you're saying Biden, Schumer and Reid should NOT be taken at their word, even when they give televised speeches on the Senate floor? They shouldn't be trusted to do what they say they will do? Is that a rule of thumb we should apply to all promises made by all Democrats? Thanks for the heads up!

The only reason they didn't act on their promises not to consider a Supreme Court nominee close to an election is because no seats became vacant. Which raises the question - why did they go out of their way in the first place to loudly proclaim new rules for confirmation, when there was no open SCOTUS seat to be filled anyway? Why address a contingency that might not occur? They obviously felt pretty adamant about the underlying principle when Bush 1 and 2 were in the White House.

So you're straining credibility when you argue they shouldn't be held to their own words. They explained how the confirmation process should work, now you claim they didn't mean it. Sorry, no one is buying it.

Biden, Schumer and Reid made their own beds and it's time for them to lie in them.

The President has done his job. Now the Senate must do theirs. Underneath the penumbra of "advise and consent" is to advise that the next President make the nomination. The Senate is not shirking its duty by refusing to consider this nomination, they are advising. The public can make up their own minds how they feel about it. Ask 20 people on the street what they think. You'll get 19 blank stares.

This nominee is is quite friendly toward gun restrictions. He is softer on the 2nd Amendment than Assup is with a woman. Ijs.

And the beat goes on, lol. You fucking momo.

Sure, they have their privileges, and they probably have the constitutional right to simply avoid the hearing altogether.. Originally Posted by eatfibo

And now if you say "probably" why before did you disperse the notion it wasn't by alluding to it being hypocritical to want to follow it, the constitution, yet deny Obama?

Just as that great constitutional scholar Obama, himself, has been doing

You're starting to look pretty stupid right now. The US CONSTITUTION says that the president shall nominate a person to the bench. That is a requirement and not a suggestion. However, the CONSTITUTION also says that "with the advise and consent" of the Senate shall judges be appointed. It is the Senate who approves or disapproves, not the President. The president is in the inferior position of finding candidates that satisfy the Senate.
Plus, the Biden Rule from 1992;
"Once the political season is under way, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over,"
As President of the Senate (one of the duties of the Vice President) Biden's words carry weight no matter how partisan or stupid. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

And I could care less what the Three Stooges, Biden, Schumer and Reid said on this. It's as if Bitch McConnell reached back in time and invoked the "monkey see, monkey do" rule.

Truth be told, Obama prolly doesn't want him confirmed. This is just a shameful political play by Obama. He's using Merrick as a pawn. Obama would prefer a radical left jurist. So would Hillary. Obama is trying to win the Senate back. Waiting 7 months isn't a big deal. The country has gone longer without a full compliment of judges on the SC.

BULLSHIT.

Republicans are fueling the Trump campaign by their silly, partisan behavior. One could argue that under McConnell and Boehner, the GOP created the Trump campaign.

Just St wait until The Drumpf nominates one of the Kardashians....

Congress will do what has always been done and if Senator choose to filibuster the nomination, then Obama can cry in his near beer with regrets for doing the same.
Should it be called the revenge of Bork?


The truth of the matter is that you never know what you are going to get once they put those robes on but, if he has ever made a decision that was based on anything other than the constitution and the law that has even the slightest hint of being biased as a liberal, you can bet your ass the Republicans will roll over like they always do and take it firmly up the ass for it is not their ass but ours that will get fucked.
