    Pelois claims she has arrows in her quiver. Did she steal them from Pocohantas or is it just plain demeaning cultural appropriation?

    Obama's nom, Garland, would have never passed the Senate confirmation vote. It would have been a total waste of time with the same end result.

    Sorry I said "dumbass". Miss Prissy would have been better. The phrase is a metaphor of relative strength and it comes from the interaction between and mingling of cultures as many words and phrases do. There is nothing "demeaning" in it except maybe to an over sensitized snowflake.

    Mitch McConnell: (09:16)
    As of then, only six prior times in American history had a Supreme Court vacancy arisen in a presidential election year. And the president sent a nomination that year to the Senate of the opposite party. The majority of those times, the outcome was exactly what happened in 2016, no confirmation. The historically normal outcome when you have divided government.

    Mitch McConnell: (09:45)
    President Obama was asking Senate Republicans an unusual favor that had last been granted nearly 130 years before then. But voters had explicitly elected our majority to check and balance the end of his presidency, so we stuck with the basic norm. Oh, and by the way, in so doing, our majority did precisely what Democrats had indicated they would do themselves. In 1992, Democrats controlled the Senate opposite President Bush 41. Then Senator Joe Biden, chaired the judiciary committee, unprompted, unprompted he publicly declared that his committed might refuse to cooperate if a vacancy arose and the Republican president tried to fill it. In 2007, Democrats controlled the Senate opposite President Bush 43. And with more than a year and a half left, a year and a half left in President Bush 43’s term, the current democratic leader declared that, “Except in extraordinary circumstances” the opposite party Senate should boycott any further confirmations to the Supreme Court. That the current democratic leader a year and a half before the end of the Bush administration. So on 2016, Senate Republicans did not only maintain the historical norm, we also ran the Biden- Schumer playbook.

    Mitch McConnell: (11:34)
    When voters have not chosen divided government, when the American people have elected a Senate majority to work closely with the sitting president, the historical record is even more overwhelmingly in favor of confirmation. Eight times in our nation’s history, new vacancies have arisen and presidents have made nominations all during the election year. Seven of the eight were confirmed and the sole exception, Justice Abe Fortas was a bizarre situation, including obvious personal corruption that extended into financial dealings. Apart from that one strange exception, no Senate has failed to confirm a nominee in the circumstances that face us right now. Aside from that one strange exception, no Senate has failed to confirm a nominee in the circumstances that face us right now.

    Mitch McConnell: (12:39)
    The historical precedent is overwhelmingly and it runs in one direction. If our democratic colleagues want to claim they are outraged, they can only be outraged at the plain facts of American history. There was clear precedent behind the predictable outcome that came out of 2016, and there is even more overwhelming precedent behind the fact that this Senate will vote on this nomination this year. The American people reelected our majority in 2016. They strengthened it further in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump on the most critical issues facing our country. The federal judiciary was right at the top of the list. Ironically, it was the democratic leader who went out of his way to declare the midterm 2018 elections, a referendum on the Senate’s handling of the Supreme Court. My friend, the occupant of the chair was running that year. The democratic leader went out of his way to declare the 2018 midterms a referendum on the Senate’s handling of the Supreme Court. In his final speech before Justice Kavanaugh was confirmed, he-

    That must have been a lot of work, posting a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with the thread title, which is what I took issue with.

    All that McCrappell crap is about something altogether different.

    If there was some snippet in there that addressed the claimed number of R's who could defect and still pass the nomination, I didn't see it because I wasn't going to read a bunch of McCrappell crap.

    There is no proof.

    Either way.

    That's why the lies and propaganda that has been spread by the right like so much manure has not only damaged their own credibility but the ability of people to believe anything they see.

    It implies no such thing. You are making a bad analogy there. It is a common expression that is no slur against native Americans.

    Pot calling the kettle black.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
