Garland was right of center, and any prick who says he was not remains a prick forever.
They already did.So is the filibuster on or not? Any updates?
who cares, Gorsuch will be confirmed. If the dems filibuster, they only make themselves look more stupid than they already do. So go for it, dems.
You repeating this old, and already known fact from days ago only illustrates how butthurt you are over their move. Deal with it snowflake.
Can someone explain the partisan calculus behind this?
The GOP is going to Reid-Rule him in, and if Trump can pick another justice, they'll do it again.
I'm assuming, then, this is just for perceived political advantage for use during individual 2018 races?
.
A line in the sand. McConnell will cross it, and the Senate will be changed forever. The Nuclear Action is an attack on democracy itself, and one more nail in the coffin following the conservative plan to create a Plutocracy in America.
This statement ^^^ will be too abstract for most of Trump's supporters, and for those who actually believe conservatives and Republicans can actually govern, and will morally and honestly represent all of our citizens.
They will not, it is not in their best interests, and as everyone knows but few admit, a member of Congress' first priority is their own job, not yours.Can someone explain the partisan calculus behind this?

Once again, Republicans obliterate a line in the sand because it is in their best interests
Filibuster used to be a tool of last resort for critical decisions. Under Obama, Republicans applied it to every piece of legislation and every judicial appointment
A President has always been allowed to make appointments during his term. Republicans decided that if an appointment would flip the court, they would delay it till the next President
A Filibuster used to mean go back and try again. Now Republicans are eliminating all filibusters for SCOTUS judges
There is no going back
Reid and the dems started it when they rammed ACA through on dem only votes with no open discussion, debate, or amendments. Now those chickens are coming home to roost.

Obamacare passed with over 60% of the vote
It was refined and debated for over a year....nothing was rammed through
ACA passed with dem votes only, not one republican voted for it. It was brought to a vote by Reid using the nuclear option. No discussion or floor debate of the bill that was passed was allowed by Reid or Pelosi. no amendments were allowed. It was rammed through.
I've never been able to figure out quote tags either. You want to give me a lesson?because we KNOW that none of the nominees were declined an open hearing since it became normalized in 1955.
Until last year.
Concession accepted.
It was, in fact, unprecedented.
P.S. Do you think that you can one day perhaps learn how to use QUOTE tags? You are 28,000 posts into this, it's time.
Garland was right of center, and any prick who says he was not remains a prick forever.Stop moving goal posts, we are talking about refusal of open hearing, not EVEN vote.
There wasn't a chance in hell that a radical like Mr. Garland was going to be confirmed. But just because the gentleman is a radical, doesn't mean his time shouldn't be respected. Asking him to testify at a pointless hearing would have shown a lot of disrespect.
he would not have gotten 51 votes. hearings and a vote would have been a waste of time and money. as to "prick forever" you already captured that title long ago.
In that case, President Obama still had time to submit another candidate over an eight month period
Republicans refused to even have a hearing
then why didn't Obama submit Gorsuch?
what you cannot seem to deal with is that the party in power controls what comes up for vote. Reid sat on over 300 house passed bills and there was no outcry from the likes of you. more partisan hypocrisy
Garland was right of center, and any prick who says he was not remains a prick forever.
What's your definition of "right of center"? Garland was pro-abort, a hard core gun control-freak and was radically pro-Gay Marriage.
Doesn't sound "right of center" by any American standards.

Republicans intentionally left a Supreme Court seat vacant for over a year
It was an abuse by the party in power and will forever change how Supreme Court Justices get chosen
I hope it was worth it

Your opinion seems to lack evidence of all three of these issues.
Both the chief justice and the new nominee claim that Roe is settled law. We will see if the new guy is a liar once the nuclear option has been employed; "hard core gun control" is not defined, even Scalia put limits on who should have custody and control of a gun (read Heller); what was is radical about gay marriage is the fact that the government had no business outlawing a contract of marriage based on bigotry, and ignored equal rights for all citizens.

keeping the court from leaning too far left was well worth it.
was using the nuclear option on obamacare and setting that precedent worth it to you libs?

Obamamacare had many, many amendments and there was months of discussion

PPACA was written in a locked room by dem staffers and passed by dem votes only using reconciliation procedures which had never been used for something of that magnitude.
you dems started it and now its biting you in the ass. Tough shit.
gipper has the meat of it.
it gives them 'reason' to destroy filibuster in the when they hold the Senate and want to pass legislation without worrying about the need of a 60 vote cloture. In other words, they will use it to pass single payer with a 51 vote majority embedded with a 2/3 vote requirement on any repeal.
