If you think the GOP would "take" the nomination away from Trump you are delusional.Dems Plan To Make Republicans Pay For Blockading The Supreme Court
The GOP is playing a very dangerous game of Judicial Chicken. Better have you seatbelt on Mister McConnell. Oh, and strap down your three chins....THIS IS WAR!
If you weren't so liberal, or blind, you would know that Senator Obama tried to filibuster Bush's Supreme Court nominee. Samuel Alito.
Karma's a bitch. If you don't like it when it's done to you, don't set the precedent.
White House: Obama 'regrets' decision to filibuster Supreme Court Justice Alito | Fox News
Voters will punish the GOP if they do not hold hearings on an Obama appointment. The GOP has tow HUGE problems. They either hold hearings on O's nomination or voters kill them in November and....well...
DONALD TRUMP
is the other problem. He is determined to win the GOP nod and when the Repub brass take that away from him, HE WILL run third party. The GOP loses and then, even to the disdain of many of us moderates, we get an Ultra-Liberal Justice in 2017...and the Senate.
NO LOOKING GOOD FOR MITCH AND THE GOP.

Whiners, where does Alito sit now?
Republicans have constructed and run at full capacity the new company Red Herrings Inc. "Need to lie to people but also need to make it look like you aren't? Come to Red Herrings Inc, we'll construct a lie so beautiful your mother would love its face."
No, we're just demonstrating how hypocritical Democrats are being.
If you don't like what Republicans are doing to Obama's potential appointment/nominee, then Obama shouldn't have set the precedent all those years ago.
So from today going forward each party in the Senate should stop the government from functioning until they get what they want.
This is how 8 year olds act. That is who you are and that is what the Republican party has become. The Tea Party has turned you all into a bunch of children that only know how to throw tantrums and cry for you bottle.
Democrats use terms like "punish" and "enemies" when it comes to referring to persons with views not the same as theirs yet they expect US to view them as the "uniters"?
WOW! You really are having a tantrum today!If you weren't so liberal, or blind, you would know that Senator Obama tried to filibuster Bush's Supreme Court nominee. Samuel Alito.

The government will operate just fine. It's not imperative that we have 9 justices instead of 8.
So you dont' have a problem if the Democrats never approve of a single candidate nominated by any future Republican president.
You do understand that this entails the end of this democracy don't you. Once a single political party decides they do not have to follow the Constitution, which for the Senate means vetting and APPROVING some new judge, then the democracy has been compromised.
This is in fact the very reason for the Constitution, to force all parties to carry out their function whether they like it or not.
We have arrived at a moment when conservatives now understand their worldview is at the tipping point of being relegated to minority status, and you don't like it. Understandable. But that's how it works. Your viewpoint is slowly being outweighed by numbers of voters who want something else. In a democracy that's how it goes.
Stop whining like children and live with reality.
The odds of a DEM becoming the next President are now less than zero.

That would 100% guarantee that Trump would go third party guaranteeing the end of the REP party.
NOT going to happen.
Already RP the head of the REP party is on the phone and at Trump's headquarters every day.
The Senate is going to stand firm.

In eight years President Trump could put 5-6 SCJ's on the bench. Fundamentally affecting the course of American history for many decades.

If you really believe that, then why not wait until the next President? If you have Bernie or Hillary, they can nominate who they desire. If we decide to elect either of these two for President, then the people have spoken.
Since DumBama won his second term, people have disapproved of him. He won on lies, and we reacted by strengthening the Republican Congress and giving Republican leadership to the Senate.
And I have to ask, were you so concerned about the Constitution when DumBama went around our process multiple times? You know "I have a pen and I have a cell phone?"
If Republicans cave in, review Obama's nominee, and then reject him or her, would you be happy then? I'm willing to bet my dime to your dollar that you will not. If it happens, come on back to USMB and see how pissed off Democrats will be. You'll be complaining about the same thing.

We had an election, the current president was elected. Not for a 3 year term, but for a 4 year term.
You want to nullify that election because you didn't like the outcome. Too bad.
and thomas doesn't embarrass the hell out of youReality Check: One of the main reasons that people vote for Republican Senators is because people understand the importance of the Senate's role in reviewing Federal Court nominees, especially Supreme Court nominees. And they vote REPUBLICAN because they are unhappy (or, in the case of many, outraged) at what this Court has done to the Constitution.
This is THE SPECIFIC TIME AND SITUATION for which they cast their Republican votes. THEY WANT the Republicans in the Senate to prevent a Liberal/Progressive takeover of the court.
So anyone who thinks that they can be embarrassed into confirming another unqualified, token, ideologue is simply delusional. If they DON'T block an Obama nominee (who will be an unqualified, token, ideologue), they will be in trouble with their constituents.
Of course, he should nominate someone, and the Senate is obliged to consider the nominee. That much is clear. A recess appointment would be best (would only be in office for the remainder of Barry's term), but time is running out on that.

"... even though the Constitution says the Senate is supposed to offer the president advice and consent on nominations."
It says nothing of the sort.
More recently, when he was Senate Majority Leader at the end of the Bush administration, Harry Reid took dramatic action to prevent President Bush from making any appointments whatsoever. Democrats were frustrated by some of Bush's recess appointments, especially John Bolton as U.N. ambassador. But in fairness to Bush, the Democratic Senate's partisan obstruction was completely out of hand. In late 2007, the Harry Reid-led Senate had a backlog of more than 200 appointments that it had failed to act on, including dozens of judges. In order to prevent Bush from filling any of those slots with recess appointments, Reid started holding 30 second "pro-forma" sessions over the holidays so the Senate would technically be in session and the president would be constitutionally prohibited from making recess appointments.

and keeping all of those republican appointments and dozens of judges out was a bad thing Mr mod ??Funny how fast people's memories fade

If that's what you feel is acceptable behavior by your elected representatives then that's your privilege, but don't run around bitching about it when they turn around and do it back to you.
