Democrats keep saying "no scotus until the people decide"

[Toddsterpatriot]

There's nothing in the Constitution about a president's final year.

Or about unelected Presidents.

McConnell made it about elected presidents when he said the people should decide the next president to pick Scalia’s replacement; while taking that honor away from an elected president with 21% of his term remaining. Until then, that had never happened before.

McConnell made it about elected presidents

You did when you said previous Senate inaction on Supreme Court nominations was okay if the President hadn't been elected.

Which I pointed out in response to McConnell's position that the people should elect the next president to decide the nominee. What I'm saying is that what he did had never been done before.

Previous Senates have impeded Presidents of opposing parties.
Exactly like this? No. But it's not unprecedented for a seat to remain open until the next President.

Not for 11 months.

9 months, 23 months. Not unprecedented.

 

[Dschrute3]

Even more vital that Trump get one more Justice in there. 6-3 is far better than 5-4. Remember, Roberts is a weak Bush waffler. He gave us 'ObummerCare.' 6-3 would spell Game Over for Anti-American Left/Globalists. They'd be finished for years to come.

I hafta disagree a little bit.

dimocrap FILTH didn't think obamacare would pass Constitutional muster and were counting on SCOTUS to strike it down.

Why? Because the next logical step...... The only step from the dimocrap FILTH perspective, was Single Payer.

Roberts threw a monkey wrench in the works.

Smart move.

Without Roberts, we might have the same wonderful system the Brits have.

Now, the Swiss? Yeah, that's what we need. That's what the Lying Cocksucker in Chief tried to sell obamacare as.

Roberts beat them at their own game. Good on him

I hear ya, but i just can't trust Roberts. Get one more Justice in there, and it'll be 6-3. It creates a little wiggle room with wafflers like Roberts.

Great, then Democrats can use that rule for the remaining 6 years of Trump’s presidency if he lasts that long, should they take control of the Senate in January.

From February, 2016, when Scalia died, to January, 2017, when Obama left office. 11 months.

But suuure, there’s no difference between 4 months and 11 months, so there must not be a difference between 11 months and 72 months.

Trump just needs one more Justice. 6-3, and you Anti-American Left/Globalists are finished for a long time. I pray he gets it done.

Which is why it’s imperative that Democrats gain control of the Senate in this upcoming election. If they do that, Trump will get no more seats replaced. Democrats, using McConnell rule, can shut down confirmation hearings entirely for the remainder of trump’s presidency.

Republicans are the hypocrites. They refused to act on Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland by saying that voters should decide in the election. This is a good example of how Republicans have abused their majorities.

different situation. you know it. sad that you do and act this way. The people did decide, Trump was our pick. so be the fk quiet.

Not the same thing. McConnell said the people should pick the person to decide USSC justices. The people picked Obama in 2012. The people did not pick Tyler or Johnson to be president.

No, Garland was nominated the following month. But it was right after Scalia died that McConnell informed Obama no one he nominated would get a confirmation hearing. That was with 11 months (21%) remaining in Obama's term.

 

[BluesLegend]

Democrats thought the GOP didn't have the balls to nuclear option their ass on SCOTUS confirmations, they thought wrong.

It isn't that anyone thought they didn't have the balls. They thought the GOP wasn't that hypocritical, retarded, or insane.

They thought wrong.

You mad bro?
