Republicans now believe extortion is a great political tool. Do they also think it's patriotic?

Now the Republicans say they will block anyone, sight unseen, anyone Obama nominates.
Justice Anthony Kennedy was confirmed in 1988. I know, I know, Reagan was white. That's a huge difference. And Democrats didn't get together before Reagan was sworn in and swear to destroy him.

I don't know, once again, it seems an awful lot like extortion. No, it IS extortion. No other way around it. The GOP has become the party of extortion.

How is that extortion? Obama has certain rights. The Senate has certain rights.

That's the game.

There is a difference between extortion and negotiation. Try to figure out what that difference is.

Is there some obligation to negotiate? Please indicate the Constitutional passages.
