Flashback: Senate Democrats in 1960 pass resolution against election-year Supreme Court recess appointments
So I guess Dems cant go and say we have to appoint a new judge they made the rules they need to live by them
"On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. This was during President Ronald Reagan's last year in the White House, and at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. Kennedy was confirmed 97-0, with three Democrats -- Joe Biden, Al Gore and Paul Simon -- not voting at all because, presumably, they were busy running for president that year."Flashback: Senate Democrats in 1960 pass resolution against election-year Supreme Court recess appointments

Because they voted, AKA, did their goddamned constitutionally-mandated job, which they are now refusing to do."On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Why do you keep leaving out the part about them voting down his first pick?

No, they are saying there will be no vote, period.Obama will make a pick and the Republicans will give his pick an up or down vote.
He should, for the end of the term and then pick a nominee.Obama isn't planning on making a recess appointment. I fail to see the comparison.
They'd better...Because they voted, AKA, did their goddamned constitutionally-mandated job, which they are now refusing to do."On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
