Alito began serving at the end of January, immediately after he was confirmed by the Senate.
Thomas was confirmed October 15 1991 and was sworn in October 23.

What is the all fired urgency? They do not have to WAIT 'til next year. Whoever begins can't rule on cases the court has already heard, true, but since the term is just beginning, it shouldn't be that big a backlog of cases.

Its an urgency because republicans know trump wont get an appointment in if dems take the senate.
Its an urgency because dems dont want trump to get in another appointment.

I thought the chances were slim to none that Dems would take the Senate?
You know what I sometimes wonder? The Dems are playing this out like they KNOW they're going to take the Senate.
But with every single poll in the country and every single pundit and every single odds maker saying Hillary Clinton was going to win, YET Mitch McConnell seemed to KNOW beyond any reason that if he could just wait out Obama, he'd have the chance to seat a conservative justice to replace Scalia.
How did McConnell know, a year before the election, that this miracle was going to happen?
How do Dems now know they're going to turn the Senate over in November?
Do they even count our votes, really, TN?

You gotta play hard in the field of bullshit.
Take your chances. If you fail, you dont lose anything.
Politics is a dirty and disingenuous game

Here's one example
Kavanaugh lied under oath, Sen. Patrick Leahy says

Maybe he didnt know at the time? HE stated he learned about it on the news.. IDK that isnt a deal breaker. At least with only dealing with what i just read.

Add to that his temperament expressed by crying, insulting the questioners, and refusing to answer simple strait forward questions, along with credible sexual assault claims, and it's obvious the man has to be blocked from our courts.

what's obvious is you don't care about the reason why - just block him.

shit like that needs to stop.

What's obvious is there are lots of reasons to block him. You act like it is unfair to mention more than 1 reason.

Just don't make things complicated for him, that's all.

when you get complex, gimme a shout. i gotta see this.

McConnell didn't know. He was hoping, and wanted to be ready just in case he got lucky.

Or......they don't know election outcomes. And are stalling as best they can.

Its simpler, matches the evidence, and doesn't require a ludicriously complicated and fact free conspiracy. Occam's Razor: when you hear hoofbeats, think horses. Not zebras.

1) He lacks the temperment. Anyone who cries and yells in their job interview should not be a supreme court justice.

2) He is conspiratorial. Blaming 'revenge for the clintons', backed by nothing, is not a clear thinker. And should not be a supreme court justice.

3) He dishonest. Telling one account on Fox News. And another under oath. Honest men don't need two versions of the same answer.

4) He lied under oath. He lied about the legal drinking age when he was 18, he lied about the legality of his drinking, he lied about how much he drank.

5) And per Ford's account of the attempted forcible rape, he lied under oath about his assault on Christine Blasey Ford.

Don't worry Skypilot, the FBI has everything under control.

With Kavanaugh refusing to call for the FBI investigation either.

That wasn't his call to make.

His call or no, he refused to call for one.

Ford did. She actively sought an FBI investigation. Per members of the Senate Panel, the only person who didn't want an FBI investigation was Kavanaugh.

Based on the way the polls have gotten politicized lately, a magic 8 ball would be more accurate.
