You're a clown with your head up Odumbo's ass. What 'threat'? Odumbo DID filibuster a nominee, and Schumer advocated not confirming any Bush43 candidates during Bush43's last sixteen months in office. You're just belligerently stupid if you don't recognize Odumbo, Reid and Schumer's hypocrisy.

I also explicitly noted that Schumer was acting like the republicans are acting here. So to claim that I see Schumer's hypocrisy doesn't make much sense, I totally agree with you. I just don't agree that it applies to Obama as well. Again, filibustering a specific candidate is so different from implying that Obama shouldn't nominate someone (despite the constitution giving him the power to do so), and then claiming they will block
anyone when they don't even know who the candidate is yet.
