Voting against isn't the problem, not allowing a vote is.

Barry does not deserve any more picks, he has shitty judgement.

Miguel Estrada agrees. No vote.

Miguel Estrada agrees. No vote.

No vote = no GOP Senate, after January.

Wrong. No vote = Republican control of government after January.

No vote. January will take care of itself.

If they don't vote, January will never matter to them as many of them will be out of work. 24 who have seats to defend and by pulling this half of them can be beaten.

They get paid to do a job, they are refusing to do.

Not a chance in hell. Wait for the first poll, showing 65-35 for naming a new Justice.

You mean like Harry Reid repeatedly refused to allow votes to the floor?? Like that?

On a Supreme Court Justice? No...

So appointing a SCOTUS Justice is more important than passing laws?...so...refusing votes because you are afraid you will lose the vote is ok?

That's the game of politics in the Senate, but this is far beyond politics. This could cause a serious crisis, that a deadlocked SC cannot respond to.

And not bringing up bills for a vote is constitutional, while not granting Advice and Consent is not.

Yet a majority of Americans think you are wrong twice...

Ohhhh...so if Democrats do it - it is "part of the game"...but if Repubs do it....well...it is just unbelievable?

Has anyone thought to ask why this fancy-shmancy hunting lodge didn't have any medical personnel on the premises?

One might wonder if the rush to get Scalia "processed" and removed from the ranch might have more to do with the potential for lawsuits than anything else.

It seems their narrative of "we are inevitable" to get elected in 2016, is not what it seems if they are worried the next POTUS will choose wrong, lol.

They aren't going to get what they want, and they are trying to make it a political football to energize their people, since Hilly has done such a bang up job-)

Just laugh at them. They are so worried, they can't even take the high road on this to seem more moderate for voters knowing their candidate is a shoe in. Why? Because like everything else, they are lying and are pooping their pants.

I am serious, just smile, and throw them some tidbits. No need to make any case, just let them stew and get more shrill as time goes along-)

 

[iamwhatiseem]

And BTW - how many know that when this EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURRED IN 2007 - Democrats came out and said the same thing as Repubs are saying now.
So...it was ok to block then, but now now???

It's part of the game when they do it, and they do, but not for a fucking Supreme Court Justice.
