[Billy_Kinetta]

Another grand week in the making.

OK, let's see if this ends up making the score for the first three weeks 0-3 for Trump.

Another grand week in the making.

Doesn't a supreme court nominee have to be confirmed by the Senate? It aint going to happen

 

[Auld Phart]

The first, second, maybe even the third might be blocked.

But sometime in the next four years, one is going to be appointed.


Or democrats can forget any chance of picking up seats in congress in 2018, or 2020

Too bad Harry Reid made the "nuclear option" available, Ben! Doh! Told you liberals that would come back to bite you in the ass some day!

Democrats will never forget the Republicans failure to vote on Obama's supreme court pick. Its payback time

There is no nuclear option for the supreme court nominee

Told you Alt Right sillies you don't have the 51 GOP votes you need. At least six of the GOP senators and all of the Dem are opposed to Scalia type justices.

The nuclear option: McConnell must declare the nomination a matter of the Constitution and get 51 votes to get rid of cloture. His senatorial GOP opposition may deny him that.

60 votes are needed to confirm a supreme court nominee

good...

then you agree that Republicans will likewise not forget that Democrats blocked several supreme court picks when the elections come up again?

Thats just fine. Its one thing to block a nominee who is considered unqualified, but another to refuse to even vote on one

 

[Oldstyle]

Just like Harry Reid changed the rules for the nuclear option to be used for lower court nominations and other nominations in 2013, Mitch McConnell can do the same for Supreme Court nominations. It's the door that Harry Reid cracked wide open.

Which nominee is unqualified?

Let me guess...

any nominated by Trump?

Maybe the republicans under McConnell shouldn't have refused to vote on all of those Obama court nominees.

 

[Oldstyle]

Ah, from where I'm sitting that seems to have worked out rather well for them, Ben...just saying...

 

[Oldstyle]

Admit it...you thought Hillary was going to get in there along with a whole bunch of Democrats in the House and Senate and you guys on the left could name someone REALLY liberal...didn't you? Ouch, that didn't work out...did it?

No it didn't work, but neither will Trumps nominee
