Umm... it's never been that way in 227 years while there was an open seat on the Supreme Court.That's not the point.So what that Bork was rejected? At least he was considered; unlike what Republicans are doing now which is to not consider anyone Obama nominates.I've bookmarked this post, in case you're wrong...LMAO
Bookmark away, the fact that my parties leadership is abrogating their duties under the constitution is irrefutable.
That fact that elections have consequences and that applies to future elections is also irrefutable.

Like when your party refused to confirm Bork? Or, when your Füerher signed illegal executive orders? Or when Clinton knowingly violated national security laws?
But even worse for you idiotically attempting to draw a comparison with Bork is that Reagan still got to appoint a Supreme Court justice. It just wasn't Bork. In an election year, no less.
All's the current Senate has to do is vote down anyone that Obama nominates. You'll be crying about that, too.
The point is the Senate has decided that the American voter must have the right to choose the next SCJ.
The voter will choose the next President/Senate/House. That's the way it should be.
I guarantee everyone if the shoe was on the different foot the DEMs would be doing the exact same thing.
"Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes the bear eats you".
At this point the DEMs are fucking apoplectic. They will do ANYTHING if they can just get the camel's nose under the tent by getting the REPs to 'just consider' Obama's nomination.
Never going to happen.
