McConnell's (R) obstructionist statement unprecedented especially given...

[Dot Com]

The President (44) hasn't even put forward a nominee.

Republicans at their finest. SCOTUS had not even confirmed his death before McConnell came out w/ his outrageous statement. Stand proud Constitution- hating, obstructionists..... NOT!!!

 

[PaintMyHouse]

He'll fold, as usual. That's the safe bet especially considering...

"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."

McConnell is a scumbag. In other words --- or in nutters' words --- the ideal republican.

 

[rightwinger]

What he said is........we will not allow a pick unless we get to do the picking

 

[Dot Com]

One would think that McConnell would issue a blanket statement like that w/o even giving a reason. He realizes that rw drones abhor reason.

It's both disgusting and fascinating all at once....this knee-jerk, neanderthal reaction from the right.
This fear they have of Obama...because, as Bill Maher said, they want to "restore" the country.
To what? 2008? 10% unemployment, two foreign wars, $4.00/gal gas, and a stock market at 7000? What a joke.

 

[Meathead]

Scalia's seat goes to the winner of the general election. Put your faith in Hillary.

it defies reason. Now many of them are supporting a candidate who said Bush lied us into a war after 6 YEARS OF SAYING THE WAR WAS NECESSARY

One-sentence reply w/ no reasoning? Let me guess, you're a rw'er? That was rhetorical

That's what happens when the goo inside their craniums can only wind back into the last 24 hours of a news cycle.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The People spoke in the last Senate election, they don't want what Obama's selling. Let Obama nominate a Conservative like Scalia and he'll get an easy confirmation.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

If McConnell were smart he'd support a timely confirmation of the president's nominee.

The long-term ideological makeup of the Court won't be changed by this appointment alone, that will be left to the next president, who will have at least four appointments to make during his or her term in office.

And of course there's McConnell's failed plea in 2010, "to make Obama a one term president":

I can hardly believe your not a consultant on McConnell's staff.

Partisan nonsense.

The appointment is made by the current president, reelected by a majority of the American people; to do otherwise would be to ignore the will of the people who approved of the president's second term.

Correct, they consent to the nomination and they would consent to another Conservative Italian American for the Scalia seat

Obama needs to do with will of the People and stop being a petty, partisan ideologue.
