"Obama nominates Merrick Garland for Supreme Court"

If republicans were smart they'd confirm – he's clearly a qualified consensus candidate.

But republicans aren't smart.

Yep. I can't wait until Clinton nominates Obama in February.

 

[mudwhistle]

Calling him "one of America's sharpest legal minds," President Barack Obama nominated federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Well that settles it for me. .......

If the self-proclaimed smartest man in the world, (Obama), who is supposedly a Constitutional scholar himself. Claims that Garland. is "one of America's sharpest legal minds".

Then who are we to argue with an 11 day instant Nobel prize winner? ........

Yep.....a peace prize for killing 300,000 in Libya, 400,000 in Syria, who knows how many in Iraq.
But we have no boots on the ground anywhere. Our guys are floating 6 inches off the ground.

Even Trump knows the GOP destabilized the Middle East. Hilarious.

Yeah?

Explain how they did that. The GOP hasn't had anything to do with the military since 2009 and Obama runs both the military and the state department. The Arab Spring started after Obama took office. How did the GOP go around Obama and start taking down Middle-Eastern leaders like Qaddafi? You act like Obama is a powerless spectator. Why the **** is he there if he isn't doing his ******* job?

If they're smart, they'll ignore the gun-grabbing asshole.
Two issues that are hovering over this election. Illegal immigration and gun-control. If you're on the wrong side of these issues you've got serious problems in November. Hillary hopes she can get enough women to hate Trump and forget about these two important issues.

Even Trump knows the GOP destabilized the Middle East. Hilarious.

And all of the Democrats, including Hillary, happily went right along with it. .....

I trusted the president. Didn't you?

Don't be a ******* idiot. The Middle East became destabilized because of what Bush did. There were no al Qaeda in Iraq until Bush let them in. Pretending that common knowledge that even Trump knows isn't makes your kind look bad.

America has 5.8 million job openings

America has near record 5.6 million job openings

Business wants immigrants. As a business owner, who would you rather have? An educated immigrant or an ignorant and lazy Red Neck who feels entitled?

Horseshit.

Red-necks are the ones working and paying for all of these illegals, blacks, and other Democrats to stay home and collect their check from the government.

Every Kuwaiti I know wanted to be the first in line to go into Iraq and shoot that SOB.

I think Kuwait was looking for some payback. Saddam trashed their entire country. I figure it was Karma.

McConnell is instituting the Joe Biden Rule.

Joe Biden suggested that a president should consider waiting until an election to nominate a supreme court justice if a vacancy in the court occurred during convention season.

Convention season is months away. Destroying McConnell's argument. Biden never argued that the president can't nominate someone. Destroying McConnell's argument again. Or that the senate should hold no hearings. Destroying McConnell's argument a third time. Or that they shouldn't be confirmed if qualified. Destroying McConnell's argument argument a fourth time.

McConnell is instituting the McConnell rule: an unprecedented act of republican obstructionism which will define the republican legacy of this era. As after this, there's no plausible narrative the republicans can offer that isn't about naked partisan obstructionism that placed party above the business of the nation.

Oh, and with 60%+ of folks agreeing that hearings should be held, even McConnell's babble about 'letting the people decide' is a steaming pile of horseshit.

McConnel is not the brightest bulb in the pack. He should have happily agreed to hold hearings, several months from now, allowed time for an employee of the nominee to step forward and accuse the nominee of sexual impropriety, then voted him down. You know, like what was tried against Thomas, only successfully. Or, he could schedule the hearings for some months from now and spend the time between digging up any quotes from the nominee that sound vaguely ominous and embark on a smear campaign until there is no hope of confirmation. IOW, Bork the guy.

They will stonewall and then scream for Garland when Hillary nominates a young liberal judge

The McConnell rule sets a new precedent

That Supreme Court Justices are not a priority. That a nomination should be sat on until you get a President that you like

Which is what McConnell is strongly insinuating with this quote when responding to a question about if he would consider nominee Merrick Garland AFTER the election, with a Hillary win:

I can’t imagine that a Republican majority in the United States Senate would want to confirm, in a lame duck session, a nominee opposed by the National Rifle Association [and] the National Federation of Independent Businesses.”

Again, this is his response about Garland's confirmation AFTER the election with a Hillary win.

 

[Oldstyle]

and that evil Obama did it again demonstrated he is against any bipartisan outreach by nominating someone to the Supreme Court entirely and utterly acceptable to the GOP !!! My God he might as well have 'taken out his Mandingo" and waved it at Mitch McConnell intimidating the old white dude into a cardiac arrest or indictment...

Come on, Tyrone...it's a well known fact that Valerie Jarret keeps Barry's "Mandingo" under lock and key and only lets him have it if he's been good! Maybe you can get Valerie to wave it at Mitch for Barry?

After the election, it will be McConnell who will be a lame duck majority leader

If the NRA and NFIB oppose Garland, imagine what their reaction will be to whomever Hillary nominates. I suspect McConnell will call an emergency session of the Senate to affirm Obama's nomination
