McConnell Vows To Fill Scotus Vacancy, Democrats Whine

[Crepitus]

that only happens when the wrong party holds the White House.

A community organizer once said Elections have consequences.

Now more than ever

Republicans will have to live with the new rules they created

Republicans will have to live with the new rules they created

What Senate rule would that be?

The idea that court vacancies need to be filled

A vacancy can now be held open until such time as your party gains the White House

Vacancies are being held up in the lower courts by Dems using every procedural trick they can muster.

Amazing how it isn't reported in the press....

Of course you will shrug it off because it makes your party look bad.

Post some up.

Bork got an up or down vote.

And didn't get approved because they needed 60 votes back then and the Republicans only held a 53-47, so it wouldn't go anywhere. Harry Reid changed that to a simple majority.

The irony is that Kennedy got the position and Bork died in 2012, had Bork gotten the position, Obama would have been able to nominate another Supreme Court Justice.

Bork lost the vote 58 - 42. There is no irony, you're simply mistaken.

I think the point was that Mr. Bork attained room temperature in 2012, and if he would have died on the SCOTUS, Obama would have had the nomination

I think the point was to muddy the waters about Bork getting a fair shake and Garland not. When Bork died is irrelevant, he may very well have retired years before dying, many of them do, so it's pointless to speculate.

Garland did get a fair shake, however.

His name and reputation weren't dragged through the mud, even though he didn't have enough votes to get confirmed.

The Republicans weren't forced to sully his reputation, and didn't. We know nothing about alleged parties that Mr. Garland attended as teenagers, or anything about Garland's sexual history. And that, BTW, is good.

Had Mrs. Clinton won, he would have been put on the Court.

Wow, that is one of the best self justifications I have heard
Do you really believe it?

Doesn’t really matter

Republicans have made filling a SCOTUS vacancy a purely political process.

Sitting Presidents will no longer be allowed to fill vacancies if the Senate is ruled by the other party

That started when Bork was not approved.

The irony, is that Kennedy became the Justice instead of Bork, Bork passed away in 2012, had Bork been appointed, Obama would have been the President to replace the conservative Bork for a liberal judge and Harry Reid had done away with the 60 vote rule and they would have confirmed a liberal judge and changed the make up of the Supreme Court.

The irony is if Obama was allowed to fill a vacancy, we would have the same result

Bork was unsuited for the bench

What ever happened to all that posturing about letting the people decide?

that only happens when the wrong party holds the White House.

Actually McConnell changed it to a simple majority

McConnell started it by filibustering every judicial appointment
After Reid warned that he would use the nuclear option, McConnell swore he would only filibuster controversial appointments
He lied and continued filibustering every appointment.

Reid went nuclear on lower court appointments to stop the logjam

It was McConnell who used it for Supreme Court.....Twice

God Bless Harry Reid for inventing the nuclear option.

 

[Jitss617]

Man, it sure does suck when people finally get a taste of their own medicine.

Payback is such a bitch.

.

Did the Dems ever refuse to vote on a SCOTUS nomination when they held the Senate?

who cares. It's done and it was rightly done. The march leftward of this country needs to be halted.

Any lying, cheating, stealing, or other criminal enterprise is just fine with you tRumpkin scumbags as long as it forwards your despicable "cause" of ruining the country.

The only ruined parts of America are democrat run cities..

Come to the Midwest kid. Kansas is a fuckin' disaster area.

Democrat regulation.. EPA

Prove McConnell filibustered "every" judicial appointment.

 

[Zorro!]

What is it about war that they do not understand?

McConnell vows to fill any Supreme Court vacancy in 2020, rankling Dems

Cocaine Mitch (AKA as Mitch The GRIM REAPER) plays for keeps.

McConnell: As long as I’m Senate leader, Democrats’ ‘socialist schemes’ won’t become law.

McConnell didn't start it. The logjam you speak of was created by Hairless Reid, criminal scumbag extraordinaire, blocking dozens and dozens of GW Bush appointees through the filibuster.

Then, when the Lying Cocksucker took over and wanted to appoint HIS (her) favorite Judges, there was a logjam created by the dozens of unfilled Judgeships because of dimocrap filibustering during the Bush administration.

This is why I despise dimocrap scum. You lie when the truth would do just as well.

You lie as a matter of course.

It's why I call you names. Not because of your political beliefs, which are distasteful, but because you lie at every single opportunity.

I can have a conversation with an honest socialist, an honest communist, even an honest Fascist (the make the trains run on time) but never, not ever, with a dimocrap scumbag.

All dimocrap scum know how to do is lie.

It's a top-down thing. All your politicians, all your filthy media does is lie as well.

Then you pick it up like the children of the afflicted. Which..... Is what you are.

All of you
