      They'll probably end up doing the nuclear option to get the Supreme Court nominee in.

          it's heartwarming to have a Real American president who knows

          full well how to salute and respect our military.

          and our Constitution. And all Americans, no matter what color or religion they are.

          We saved America, you betcha. Meanwhile, Ruth Darthvader Ginsburg is 83, surely

          she wants to finally retire and live the good life...

                            You can make the argument of delaying the nomination for a supreme court justice in an election year and let the people decide. What argument can you make when the democrats fail to show for hearings because they don't like a nominee? I don't think the republicans liked too many of Obama's nominees either but they didn't act like democrats and skip out of hearings. They did their job.

                                  I never took osiris as awhinie ass liberal goof, but there he goes.

                                  They gave obamao two really extreme corrupt activist supreme court justices.

                                  They gave Bill Clinton his two. But no, they were all bitchy because they didn't get

                                  to take ownership of a liberal stupidass court "permanently" on obamao's way out the door.

                                    For many decades there was an unwritten rule in the senate not to have supreme court justices nominated and appointed during an election year. The reasoning is there would be an election later in the year and the people would decide the direction of the court. So for the republicans to not to have hearings on a supreme court justice in an election year is not anything new. It has a long precedent. What has no precedent are senators not showing up for confirmation hearings to try and stall confirmations of candidates they don't like. Fortunately the republicans control the senate and were able to put a stop to their shenanigans and had the vote without the AWOL democratic senators.

                                        Exactly. Liberals break the rules when they have the advantage. But if they don't,

                                        they will raise hell about the rules being broken.

                                          Keep in mind when Democrats brag about how great President Obama has made things then how could his policies have been obstructed by the evil Republicans? And if they were it must have been this obstruction that made things so wonderful right?
