Because the Progressives/Democrats offer me no better positions to take.
You stunted the phrase. Regardless, your second statement negates the first.
Then post the language that asserts the requirement. Second request.
I wrote;
I fully understand the phrase "advise and consent" as it is used in Article I § 2 Clause 2. I means the Senate MUST TAKE ACTION when the President nominates someone for a vacant office.
I made three typos I see so I'll correct them;
I fully understand the phrase "advice and consent" as it is used in Article II § 2 Clause 2. It means the Senate MUST TAKE ACTION when the President nominates someone for a vacant office.
The corrections were advice vice advise, Article II vice Article I and the first word in the second sentence was meant to be It vice I. Now to your critique of that;
You stunted the phrase. Regardless, your second statement negates the first.
With or without the corrections, your remarks make no ******* sense at all given that was what was being discussed in the first place. There was no negation as you claim in your desperation. You are the one with the difficulty of reading and understanding, obviously!
I wrote this;
The Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley (R-IA) cannot lawfully sit on his hands and do nothing when he receives the nomination from the President. Your assertion to the contrary is but a pile of steaming Horseshit!
To which you responded with;
Then post the language that asserts the requirement. Second request.
IF you have read Article II § 2 Clause 2 you obviously didn't understand a word of it. Here is what I wrote to another on this thread earlier today;
Simply obstructing the appointment process shared by the Senate and President by the Senate abrogating their sworn Constitutional duties is to figuratively wipe ones ass with that founding document regardless which faction might be involved in a given session of Congress.
The Senate cannot do that lawfully under the provision of Article II § 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which clearly states, "... and he [the President, sic] shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court... ." [Emphasis Added]
"Advice and consent" denote ACTION by the Senate, which is the very antithesis of INACTION! Your assertion that the Senate would be, "...entirely within its powers, as established in the Constitution...." to carry out none of their responsibilities is without merit or foundation in law.
When I wrote the above I didn't bother to mention the Senate Judiciary Committee rules. See Senate Rule XXV. Next time get thee edified!!!!
