The Dems may not like what the GOP Senators consider "disqualifying" going forward

[Faun]

You play with the cards you’re dealt. Democrats didn’t have a hand where they had any control over blocking Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

It's the same players on the Republican side, Senator Flake was the one who urged Garland shouldn't get a hearing or be confirmed unless Hillary Clinton won the election (Senator Hatch signed on to that idea afterwards). Senators Murkowski and Collins pushed for hearings prior to the election.

It's like walking around the block to get next door.

So? Garland was still denied a hearing. Republicans gambled and it paid off for them. Now Democrats are gambling.

Gambling on what?

there will be a new president elected in 2020?

Gambling on Kavanaugh not getting confirmed.

and the next will be better/worse/same as Kavanaugh?

Even if the Democrats take the senate. Trump has until the next senate is seated to nominate a Justice.

and that doesnt' happen til 2 months AFTER the election

So? The Democrats find more women to cry rape until January. Then Democrats deny trump confirmation hearings for the next 2 years. 6 years if he gets re-elected. You know, the McConnell rule of denying a sitting president confirmation hearings until a new president is sworn in.

 

[Hiryuu]

Democrats have Joe Biden to thank for the Garland situation.

How soon so many forget or are too young to know better.

The fault resides with who does what, and any reason to is just an excuse for what they did.

 

[Faun]

They denied Obama's nominee from even getting a hearing, and they changed the Senate rules (nuclear option). Don't even try to sit there and pretend the Republicans are victims in all this. Jesus H. Christ!

Like I said. They wanted a nuclear war, they got one.

BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!

Did ANYONE fuck with Kegan or Sotomayor? Hell, Republicans voted to confirm.

Democrats have been playing this game since Bork and you FUCKING KNOW IT.

And I don't even like Republicans. So, do start that bullshit with me.

.

Democrats controlled the Senate when Sotomayor and Kagen were appointed. Republicans couldn’t withhold confirmation hearings then.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Here is the general rule on the SCOTUS appointments.

The Democrats are spoil brats who will stop at NOTHING to block Republican nominees. When they get a taste of their own medicine (the Biden Rule used on Garland) they throw a tantrum and threaten to filibuster all nominees until the end of motherfucking time.

The problem is that Democrats are spoiled rotten and hate to see the Court change back to proper constitutional construction.

Conservatives react to historic Supreme Court nominee by smearing Sotomayor as "racist," "bigot"

On this issue, the Rs have the moral high ground in motherfucking spades.

Great, let’s see you do what no other rightie could... quite Biden saying Bush will never get a confirmation hearing on any nominees for the remainder of his presidency....

 

[Auld Phart]

So? The Democrats find more women to cry rape until January.

and if he nominates a woman?

Then Democrats deny trump confirmation hearings for the next 2 years.

based on butthurt?

You know, the McConnell rule of denying a sitting president confirmation hearings until a new president is sworn in.

Biden rule

Sorry, let me rephrase for your intellectually dishonest ass.

No one in the Senate fucked with Kegan or Sotomayor by trying to block confirmation with shenanigans and bullshit a la Democrats.

There is no "McConnell Rule", because 51 members of Congress voted to change the Senate cloture vote rule, and McConnell couldn't have done it without them. The "Nuclear Option" already has a name, and it is not the "Reid Rule".

They ceded that ground when they denied a sitting president his Constitutional authority to appoint a Supreme Court justice.

I’m not talking about pulling the nuclear option.

After the dems put up such a circus against Kavanaugh, one of the most qualified candidates in history, what repercussions can the dems expect from the GOP going forward. IMHO any "sexual misconduct" (including bringing the big dog out) is one, any "juvenile transgression" (theft, underage drinking, etc.), any drug use, including marijuana, any DUI, any PFA, any felony, etc.

I'm sure the FBI or Senate investigators could find something disqualifying on any and all democrat nominees going forward. If they can even find anyone to run that gauntlet.

Republicans don't find lying under oath & dishonesty to the committee to be disqualifying?

The GOP knows Kavanaugh is no longer USSC material but they will vote for him anyway to get him in before the election.

No, just using the biden rule.

Biden rule

You already confirmed it’s not the Biden rule when you admitted Biden never suggested the sitting president be denied appointing a replacement for the remainder of his presidency; like McConnell did.

 

[RealDave]

If Lindsey Graham had any decency, he would demand that Garland be nominated.

 

[Hiryuu]

There are no other rules, What you are talking about is a rule that doesn't exist. Absolutely no one is require to follow what you may want to call the "McConnell Rule".

What Majority Leader McConnell did is what he did (or could do without changing rules in Garland's case), the only rule change he facilitated was the Nuclear Option when he added Supreme Court Justices to the Senate Cloture vote rule Senator Reid had already changed.

Any other bullshit is just more bullshit.

Great, so let’s see you quote Biden saying Bush should be denied confirmation hearings for the rest of his presidency so the next president could pick the new justice....

It’s a rule now. Now, it’s acceptable to not hold confirmation hearings for the duration of a president’s terms.

First, the Biden rule is not a rule & does not over ride the Constitution.

Second, Biden was talking in July about nominations late in the year when he referenced Fillmore & Johnson.

Third, He said until AFTER THE ELECTION.

The Republicans piss on the Constitution once again.
