When will Judge Merrick Garland receive a Senate hearing? He waited 293 days.

[OKTexas]

Merrick Garland waited 293 days.

His nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sat gathering dust in the Senate for that long, expired at noon Tuesday — just as the 115th Congress was sworn in on the first day of its legislative session.

History will record this poorly for Republican obstruction in fulfilling Constitutional obligations.

Don't throw this bone to the bastards Lakhota. Delete this thread.

It's not a bone. It's a reminder of how dirty they played. It's a reminder of how they don't abide by customs and rules. It should never be swept under the rug. What goes around comes around...

Customs and rules?????????????? LMAO It was the commiecrats that violated the rules to change the rules mid session. And there hasn't been a court nomination confirmed in a presidential election year in 80 years. There's your customs and rules.

Can Demcrats block Trump nominees for four years?

Why not?

No they cant. Why?

Because they simply do not have the power. You might have a point IF you managed to take the senate. The dems failed to do so and here we are - a president that does not need any input from the minority party whatsoever.

Earth to Lakdopa: Trump Won. hiLIARY lost...BIGLY!

Duh, President Obama nominated Garland - and 293 days later the Senate had still not granted him a hearing.

And for the record, the moment Democrats start playing merry-go-filibuster on the Senate floor with the SCOTUS nominee, the confirmation process will go something like this:

Once that genie is out of the bottle it will never go back

That is right. Reid let it out of the bottle already and here you are living with it as well. You are going to have to face a court that has whatever judge the right wants without the dems having any real input. That was the cost of abandoning the filibuster and it was a completely idiotic one. I am sure that Reid is lamenting his asinine decision - or at least he should be.

Well then maybe they should have elected him in 2012.

President nominated and Republican congress failed to do their job to give this man even a hearing.

Can Demcrats block Trump nominees for four years?

Why not?

They can try, but Trump is the kind of person to remind voters who did the blocking when 2018 comes around. A lot of Senators for reelection might want to think about that, especially those in states won by Trump.

2016 showed voters don't care if the Supreme Court has nine judges

Or that they do care about nine judges.......just who the judges are.

Face it


Most Americans have no idea how many judges there are supposed to be
They are perfectly fine with an 8 judge court....the 2016 election showed that

Garland was a Jew. Once 83 year old Ginsburg kicks the bucket or resigns, the court will be purged of Jewish influence. Picking a White Christian male textualist of the Constitution is what this nation needs. I expect Kennedy and Ginsburg to be replaced by two more white Christian conservative justices before Trump's term ends. Making America Great Again, yes, that is what Emperor Trump is doing!

The American people voted no on that fag on Nov 8th.

Why the Republicans refused to consider Garland

Is it a good thing to obstruct a SC justice, a bad thing, or good when democrats do it, but bad when Republicans do it?

Who cares?

It is obvious the voters don't care

I'm questioning those who professed to be outraged, just outraged, when Republicans completely obstructed Obama's pick, but now appear to be cheering on the democrats for trying to do the same thing. Either it's right or it's wrong.
