Obama is tossing them a softballNobody said confirmation is easyThey asked tough questions didn't they?Far from it
Republicans are setting a new paradigm where filling the Supreme Court takes second fiddle to partisan politics
They will live to regret it
LOL, See Ted Kennedy or Joe Biden. When it comes to partisan Supreme Court hackery, no one is more partisan than they.
It is part of the confirmation process.....a process Republicans won't even consider. They will live to regret it
They grandstanded and made political statements, often cutting off nominees in mid explanation of their decisions and directly calling them racist sexist bigots.
The only reason Democrats went ahead with hearings was because Reagan, knowing that the Democrats aimed to block his appointee, nominated a left of center justice. The difference between then and now was that Reagan compromised with a Democrat congress. Obama would have never pulled such a move.
Republicans say you can't even get a hearing. If they have tough questions for Garland, let's hear them
they don't.... they'd rather sit there like the radical, rabid dolts they are and pretend the black guy isn't president.
Hillary will not be so kind
