GOP rejects comparisons to Reagan’s late-term SCOTUS nominee

Barry can't pick himself...

Obama should be allowed to nominate someone. Let it run it's course, and remember that you have to convince 60 people to vote for confirmation. At least that way you can say you allowed it to happen, but it was believed that the person nominated wasn't worthy of the position.

My one question is, how would this have played out had this happened during the last year of President Bush's term, and the judge had been liberal leaning...

Dooooood, I think that the art of bullshit is not telling people that you are in the process of bullshitting them.

Reagan wasn't a lying filth liberal scumbag.

He was actually pretty liberal. No, he wasn't lying when he said he couldn't recall.

These people simply refuse to govern. Time to send the lot of them packing, again...

You so miss the point.The Republican Senate IS governing and they are doing their job. People who voted in the Republican Senate did so for THIS very reason. They want to stop or slow down Obama and his Liberal agenda. Now those votes will be seriously put to the test. This is why there's 3 branches to the Government.

Let Republicans run on....We are the only ones who should be allowed to make Supreme Court appointments

 

[rightwinger]

Odds are that Obama will outsmart...

it takes a lot of smarts to outsmart a Conservative.

Trump is your leading candidate

This is not stopping an agenda, this is refusing to do your fucking job as written in the fucking Constitution. Fucking clear enough for you?

^^^ precisely why we refuse to work with the left, a bunch of smug assholes. The flaming lib sits on his throne issuing executive orders ignoring congress and the will of the people, well now he needs the Senate and they are flipping him the bird. He earned it.

“It doesn’t really matter what they’ve done, what Reagan did back in ‘87. It was in ‘87 when he nominated him, so obviously it was still earlier in the year. If this was November, October or September of last year where the president had more than a year left in office, then perhaps this would be a different discussion,” Rubio said."

"On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. This was during President Ronald Reagan's last year in the White House, and at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. Kennedy was confirmed 97-0, with three Democrats -- Joe Biden, Al Gore and Paul Simon -- not voting at all because, presumably, they were busy running for president that year."

The timing changes nothing. Obama still has just shy of a year in office, boys.

The GOPs are a bunch of children.

And they are now lying to their base (who are also children) and misleading them re: last-year nomination traditions.

Should the Senate try to block a reasonable and qualified nominee, they would not be acting in good faith and thus violating their oath of office.

Stop deflecting and show where it says in the constitution that the Senate has to do it this year as YOU claimed.

I never claimed that, dumbfuck.

And tell us what makes this year any different from last year, or the year before, or the one before that? Oh right, nothing since Obama is still the goddamned President and the President, by the Constitution Scalia defended, picks.

READ the fucking discussion idiot.

Either prove it or STFU and get out of my thread.

Little Marco Rubio made this outrageous statement:

"... there should not be Supreme Court nominees put into lifetime positions for a president that you're not going to be able to hold accountable at the ballot box."

That means he doesn't think any president at any time in his second term should be able to nominate an SC judge.

How stupid can you get? Well, Rubio stupid.

And what, fucking difference would that make anyway since the Senate is still required to Advise and Consent? You'd swear to God these people think Obama could just pick anyone and put them on the damn bench, which he can't. not at all.

The Senate has a job to do which they, as usual, are refusing to fucking do.

Rubio, BTW, is a lot dumber than I ever thought. DOA for the GOP.

As someone who votes Republican they are doing exactly what I want them to do. They've broken NO laws. Fucking clear enough for you?

Your support for a do-nothing Senate avoiding their Constitutional Duties is noted. Sorry, Justice Scalia, they'd rather piss on the thing you defended for 30 years than obey it...

"reasonable and qualified nominee" according to who? Who decides that? The children are Liberals who whine, cry and stomp their feet because others oppose you.
