Other than those 29 other times it’s never happened!
Well, they shouldn't. The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President.....oh..wait..nevermind.
Uh..let's just change it to say..if a REPUBLICAN is in office, they can nominate a judge.
So under your misguided ideas the American people only vote for Republicans? Have you forgotten 44’s famous saying elections have consequences? The American people voted for a Republican senate during 44 terrible reign and they voted for Trump and for a Republican senate. So since they voted for all them that must mean they get to choose.
if you had been that upset about Ginsberg‘s replacement you should have had her retire while 44 was in power and the dems had the senate. Then the election would have had other consequences.
You don't get to make a rule and then walk it back just because it's your guy in the White House. A SC justice is appointed for life. If you want to bark about retirement, why no such recommendations for Clarence Thomas?
Yes, elections have consequences. You ready for the ones coming up for Republicans?
A rule? Did they write something into the constitution or amendments that I am unaware of? I know it might have missed your understanding but justices are allowed to retire when they want. she could have retired but chose not to.
yes we all suffered under 44 and the dems that were the majority.
we have suffered under dems when They got the majority in the house last election cycle.
Still not getting it. McConnell made the rule. He set the standard. It goes no matter who is in the White House...or so it should be. Sorry. Fail.
Actually you lie there is NO RULE, or perhaps you can link us to it in the Senate rules book? Further what Mitch said was No nominee by a President that was of a different party then the majority of the Senate at the time.
BORED. Mitch said the next elected President should choose. And the American people should have a voice in that choice. Very patriotic. Very self-righteous. Because the black guy was in the WH. DENIED!!
But, now that the just and righteous white guy is in there, he's our guy. He can do whatever he wants.
And if Hillary had been elected president she would have had the chance to nominate someone. But she wasn’t.
The senate was held by the Republicans because the people elected them. Not only at that time but again in 2016 and again in 2018. So obviously they were not that upset that the senate did not take up their time formally rejecting a judge.
