Yertle the Turtle on the upcoming SCOTUS nomination

I was referring to the videos posted above, which posted Obama's threat to filibuster Alito. I did not mean to imply that he didn't follow through on the threat, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way. I will try to be more clear in the future.

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.

Obama threatened to filibuster a specific candidate.

But I cannot look at what Obama has done and call him a hypocrite by any stretch of the imagination (with regards to SCOTUS nominations). Originally Posted by eatfibo

I appreciate the warning. However, I did say something that was unclear, so I wanted to step back in to clarify my position. Considering I wasn't clear there, I wanted to make sure I was also clear about my point with Schumer.

Did you answer the question, Whiny?

Seems like this topic, while a "show" as you said, has brought out the anxiety from your ilk, Whiny turtle bitch. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Mitch McConnell is an idiot. It's strange how both of them are concerned about following the Constitution now. They haven't been concerned about that for at least 7 years, and probably much longer.


My"ilk" isn't anxious at all. We see it for the carnival sideshow that it is.
