I would agree with you if the times were normal, i.e., a SCOTUS judge was not in the offing. There is too much at stake in getting a Justice who adheres to the meaning of the Constitution rather than making it something it is not.I don't care who it is... The partisan bullshit from both sides needs to go.Was Joe Biden stupid when he advocated for the Democrats to do exactly the same thing in 1992?Your logic is completely stupid if the GOP is even refusing to even hear the nomination. They have no idea who it is yet. This is pathetic, immature, partisan bullshit.What does racism have to do with it? The SCOTUS needs a conservative judge. If we were to get another Liberal judge then we can watch this country slide into perdition. Look it up.Many key congressional republicans have vowed to not even consider a hearing or vote to nominate a new Supreme Court Justice if it is an Obama appointee. There have been accusations from the Left claiming that this is an example of the GOP's racist bigotry against the President. What do you think?
My Opinion: The GOP is being childish, partisan and divisive... Why they can't even consider a nominee simply because he/she comes from a Democratic President is embarrassing and the cause for why most of America is frustrated with Washington... This is the problem!!! The Left has plenty of ammo to go after the GOP but it is unnecessary to play the race card. The GOP doesn't like the President, there is no mystery there, but to call it racism is cheap and it distracts from the issue at hand. FAIL on both sides of the isle on this one.
Once a Justice is in place, I agree with you that we need to compromise across the aisle, but I do think we need new Congress people to achieve that. The congress that we have now have dig in their heels and won't budge.
