republicans get what they wish for

[Redfish]

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.

Still I think he takes 2nd place to Thomas the molester

Both are noxious.

why? because they don't agree with your far left Marxist collectivist ideology? because they vote based on the constitution?

 

[Wry Catcher]

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

I think you screwed up, did you forget and post as you do when you dress up under the nom de plume of Stephanie? This post of yours is even more dishonest and thoughtless than your usual dishonest and thoughtless idiot-gram.

speaking of dishonest and thoughtless and vulgar,,,,,,where's sassy?

Some people are saying she hooked up with Rabbi(t), but Rabbi(t) seems to be more interested in males.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Boo hoo hoo

Boo hoo hoo

Republicans are acting like Democrats

Boo hoo hoo

Why cant they just go back to being spineless little wimps and do whatever Democrats want

Boo hoo hooo

Who ever thought they'd invoke the Schumer Rule?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Didn't someone once say, "Go out there an win an election"?

[OKTexas]

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?

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.

Yep, they gave their advice and consent, their Constitutional duty

Actually the gave their advice and withheld consent, which they have every right to do.

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??

May be less than 8, Ginsberg is already 94.

 

[Compost]

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

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.

No! You post his record on 2nd A. rulings or STFU. A statement was made sans evidence, one which you seem to support. Thus you are either a fool, dishonest or have the evidence.

I gave you a link. You don't like it? Find your own. By the way, you're welcome.

Your link was incredulous; it did not suggest any effort on the part of the nominee to repeal or modify the 2nd.

Yet this is how Liberals see things and use them for political benefit.

And its not like the USSC has NOT been in this situation before...

Appearantlly the Senate majority has the problem.

and soon if there is a god they'll lose that too along with the presidency and put them in the back of the bus where they belong

Neither Trump nor Cruz has coat tails to help elect Republicans. As the convention goes, so goes the GOP. This civil war among th Republicans will bear casualties, and they don't seem to recognize that fact yet in their zeal to purge the party of moderates.

Seems both Alito and Thomas not only received a Senate hearing but were confirmed with Democratic votes

Why won't Republicans allow a vote like Thomas and Alito received?

already been answered multiple times. For another answer google Schumer and Biden's comments on this situation. Its a two way street, dude. deal with it.

You lie

Neither Schumer or Biden has ever denied a Senate hearing or vote on SCOTUS

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.

Now you admit it at least

Republicans are stacking the court for political reasons

Please tell us the nominee who didn’t get a hearing...

Robert Bork.

He got creamed in the papers thanks to Dead Ted Kennedy before he ever showed up.

Please spare me the technical details of the sham they called a hearing.
