Hell, no: Senate Republicans should not 'help out' Democrats on the matter of Feinstein's judicial seat

You just can't get the fake wig she wears that you wear to sit just right...and the slip...Diane will return and no one will need to fill her seat.
Filling DiFi's seat would look more like Weekend at Bernies then anything else.
 
It matters because then they can stuff the court full of their nominees. Otherwise they can't. That's so simple even you could understand it.
Yet even you can understand that republicans do the same thing. Stuff the courts. Obama nominated a supreme court judge but the republicans cried that he was leaving office soon and the next president should appoint one.

So when Trump did the same thing, the republicans were all for a departing president to nominate a supreme court judge.

It doesn't matter because both sides do the same thing.

Yes, but Republicans respect the Constitution. Commies like you despise it.

Actually your second example is how both sides DON'T do the same thing.

The republicans saying the winner of the next election should decide who is selected to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. But four years later, republicans completely reverse themselves.

Yell Trump is the current republican poster boy and as a republican his actions have shown how much he respects the constitution and rules of law.
 

Hell, no: Senate Republicans should not 'help out' Democrats on the matter of Feinstein's judicial seat

17 Apr 2023 ~~ By Monica Showalter

At The Federalist, Christopher Bedford has a graceful, well-researched item about the dilemma facing Democrats with Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California's incapacitation from shingles at the age of 89: That to get her out of there, they need to enlist the help of Republicans so they can fill her seat on the judiciary committee to get the Democrat judges nominated by Joe Biden through confirmation.
He explains it out this way:

Her mental decline has been known on Capitol Hill for years, with staff guiding her around the halls, and yet still just this year Sen. Chuck Schumer decided to let her remain on the Senate committee responsible for accomplishing the president’s judicial agenda.
She served on that committee until early March. Then finally, after six weeks away recovering from shingles, her California colleague, Rep. Ro Khanna, publicly called for her resignation. Democrats like Khanna had grown weary — between Feinstein and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, the party’s judicial agenda had been stalled since the top of March.
Hours after Khanna’s tweet, she asked to be temporarily replaced in her duties on the essential committee. Democrats are eager to comply.
But are Republicans so eager? They shouldn’t be. There’s zero reason — zero — that Republicans should cooperate with Schumer and the president on their judicial agenda, either tactically, politically, or even morally.
Republicans have the power, too: Committee assignments are decided at the beginning of the session, either by unanimous consent or, if contested, by the vote of at least 60 senators. Democrats certainly hope they can just brush this through under the former, but what reason does Sen. Josh Hawley, or maybe Sen. Mike Lee, or Sen. J.D. Vance have to let that one pass them by?
Seems the Democrat masterplan of filling every elected office with Democrats, by fair means or foul, and whether they are fit or fading, hasn't worked out very well for them.
~Snip~

Feinstein won, apparently scarfing up a lot of Republican votes because of the alternative, and we have since been rewarded by a judiciary committee that can't even get leftists through the confirmation process now. It's almost like winning for real in rock-hard rigged blue California as far as Republicans consider it. Democrats own this, and it's bitten them on the butt. Republicans shouldn't do anything to soften their 'ouch.'

Commentary:
Mitch McConnell is back. Expect GOP RINO senators to surrender to the Left and you will never be disappointed. Occasionally, you might be pleasantly surprised.
That's all pretty laughable. Imagine what Democrats would say if the shoe were on the other foot and Republicans needed help passing legislation or appointments because one of theirs was down. Also pretty laughable how misogynistic Democrats are so easily willing to discriminate against a sick, elderly, woman in the name of politics. They are throwing all of their own values right out the window in an attempt to forward their progressive, woke agenda.
 
They still have a job to do whether you like it or not.
Then maybe Schumer should have thought about before putting her back on the committee, stupid move for Schumer. He could have avoided it had he not put party over getting a job done.
