republicans get what they wish for

[kaz]

Republicans had the choice of a vacancy or another leftist, how is the latter a better choice, explain that

A lefty??? did your heroes give him an opportunity ???? an up or down vote??? cowards traitors

no need for a vote, the senate has already told obozo that this guy will not be confirmed.

did they not say NO GUY will be confirmed???

That was based on the reality of Obama sends up. If he sends in an Alito, he'll be confirmed. Don't believe me? Give it a shot ...

is there a person out there that can honestly be called non partisan ......or is it only thomases scalias or alito's that have a chance? and what if hillary is elected ,,,,are repubs ready for 8 more years of 8 judges??

What is the loss in Hillary picking over Obama?

I'm pretty sure republicans didn't wish for Antonin Scalia to die.

sure you're right but they did hold up a new judge until a new president is installed and they must bare the blame for that

You have a problem with vetting?

Appearantlly the Senate majority has the problem.

The Gist: The signs that the Supreme Court is grappling with a depleted bench are starting to show. But what has been a trickle of tie-votes, bizarre orders and slowed activity could turn into a series of orders with contradictory effects as the court is confronted with an onslaught of election-related litigation in the lead-up to Nov. 8...........hows it feel repubs to get what you wished for?

not really, but Biden and Schumer did when the roles were reversed.

If obozo nominate Judge Napolitano or Pirro, I think they would get a vote.

The GOP controlled senate is not going to let Obama, unbalance the court to the left. Its just not going to happen.

No, I think the SC should have 3 on the right, 3 on the left, and 3 in the middle. Every one of them should be a constitutional expert with a proven record or rulings that follow the constitution, not some political ideology.

Better a leftist (a word which today is used as nothing more substantive than a pejorative) than another reactionary. We no longer live in an agrarian society with a population of 3,929,214 (the population of the US in 1790).

How is it outrageous that the republicans don't want to approve an anti second amendment jurist to SCOTUS?

What evidence do you have that the nominee is anti second amendment?

His record on the bench. Look it up.

Why should the senate waste time with hearings on a guy who has zero chance of being confirmed?

Sure, its politics, and if the roles were reversed the dems would be doing exactly the same things. Schumer and Biden are on record confirming that.

The Democrats did not do the same thing when the roles were reversed

All Republican nominees received a hearing in the Senate. That is their job
A few were rejected but overall, Democrats have supported conservative nominees like Thomas and Alito

Republicans are entering new territory

What history book are you reading?

Mrs. Tuzla Clinton vote no. Biden voted to filibuster.

Full Senate[edit]
The Senate voted 58-42 on Tuesday, January 31, to confirm Alito as the 110th Justice of the Supreme Court. All but one of the 55 Senate Republicans voted to confirm Alito, as well as four Democrats: Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), and Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND). Forty-two Senators voted against Alito's confirmation (40 Democrats, Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), and Jim Jeffords (I-VT)).[10]

Samuel Alito Supreme Court nomination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Senate confirmation[edit]
In 1991, public opinion polls showed that the vast majority of those polled believed Thomas over Hill.[51] After extensive debate, the Committee sent the nomination to the full Senate without a recommendation either way. Thomas was confirmed by the Senate with a 52 to 48 vote on October 15, 1991,[52] the narrowest margin for approval in more than a century. Vice President Quayle presided over the vote in his role as President of the Senate, partly in case his vote was needed to break a potential 50-50 tie for confirmation.[53] The final floor vote was not along strictly party lines: 41 Republicans and 11 Democrats (Dixon (D-IL), Exon (D-NE), DeConcini (D-AZ), Robb (D-VA), Hollings (D-SC), Fowler (D-GA), Nunn (D-GA), Breaux (D-LA), Johnston (D-LA), Boren (D-OK), and Shelby (D-AL) now (R-AL)) voted to confirm while 46 Democrats and 2 Republicans (Jeffords (R-VT) and Packwood (R-OR)) voted to reject the nomination.

Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas was sworn in on October 23, 1991, by Justice Byron White as the 106th Justice of the Supreme Court.[54] Chief Justice William Rehnquist was to have sworn Thomas in a ceremony initially scheduled for October 21, but was postponed until October 23 due to the death of Rehnquist’s wife. The ceremony would have been postponed longer but was held on October 23 at the request of Thomas.[54][55] The swearing-in cut short continued journalistic investigation into Thomas’s private life.[56]

Alito is an embarrassment to all judges and justices in the United States, as well as to all Americans.

4-4 is better than having an anti-2nd Amendment, anti-American lunatic like Garland on the Court

Besides, we're just following the Reid, Schumer and Biden rules
